Fans of the stoner horror film Scarecrows are going about celebrating the film in the wrong way and causing a lot of trouble while putting themselves at risk. Director Stu Stone has released a statement in the attempt to urge fans not to put themselves in danger. The film revolves around a group of stoner-teens who unknowingly trespass onto a farmers field. Unbeknownst and unluckily for the teens, this farmer tortures people who uninvitedly trespass on his property. The killer hunts them down, nails them to crosses and hangs them in the field as human scarecrows, leaving them to die. A couple weeks back Producer Adam and Director Stu noticed their inboxes had an unusually high number of emails. Confused, the guys investigated to find several emails from farmers reporting teens sneaking onto their property and getting high in the cornfields and trying to find their way out. They connected with some of the farmers who stated that the kids

Four teenage stereotypes; the horny popular dude, the mousy girly (played by Renée Zellweger of all people), the stoner, and the beautiful good girl head out on a drive after a prom night dust-up between good n’ horny (now available at our concession stand). As they tear ass around the Texas back roads they end up having an accident and seek help at a titty-flashin’ real estate agent’s office. The agent, Darla (Tonie Perensky) by name, calls her boyfriend Vilmer (I’m not going to tell you who plays him…alright, alright, alright, it’s Matthew McConaughey) to help out the troubled teens. Of course he’s a psycho (and a partially hydraulic powered one to boot), and soon our gang of goofs run afoul of ol’ Leatherface (Robert Jacks) and the rest of Vilmer’s crazed clan. Soon you’ll be wondering who will survive, and what will be left of them…or at least how some of the people involved had such huge careers after

Fan films are getting a lot of attention these days. One of the films we’re keeping our eye on is Jason Rising whose trailer has just arrived. It gives off the same type of feel as the original Friday the 13th. It’s like taking a trip back in time to the 1980s, the golden age of horror films. With the lawsuit over the Friday the 13th franchise being sort of over, Victor Miller (the original film’s writer) is reportedly aiming for a reboot. Hopefully, Jason Rising will tide you over until the next official film happens. Karl Whinnery, James Sweet, and Robert Blanche are currently crowdfunding the project whose plotline involves cops and robbers. In Jason Rising Officer Pete Daltry is on the hunt for a fugitive on the run after escaping from the Wessex County corrections farm and headed in the direction of Camp Crystal Lake. He is accompanied by two agents from the fugitive recovery team but when

Syfy is behind the reboot that is being produced by Adam Friedlander. But that’s all we know. So far, Syfy is keeping details hush, hush. The original 1986 film, directed by Stephen Herek, starred Dee Wallace, M. Emmet Walsh, Billy Green Bush, and Scott Grimes. In the movie, a group of small, furry aliens makes lunch out of the locals in a small town. Critters went on to spawn three sequels, with the last being released in 1992.

Great news Tremors fans, Universal has now officially given the go-ahead for the next installment of the franchise. Franchise star Michael Gross confirmed he is returning to reprise his role as survivalist and gun nut Burt Gummer.
