Documentarian of the Cryptids Seth Breedlove is back, and this time he turns his eerie eyeballs an a wicked werewolf legend in The Bray Road Beast! Elkhorn, Wisconsin is a bucolic lil’ town, sleepy, possessed of a small populace…and a red eyed werewolf that can run 55 mph and lives on Bray Road (home to the Bray family, who do not seem like werewolves to me, but I’m no expert at lycanthrope in human form identification)…you know, the usual. Of course as the film digs deeper we learn that this area sits in an area surrounded by strange happenings, outre cults, and that whole Slenderman stabbing incident of a few years back. Of course everyone has a theory as to just what the titular beast is, and all the usual explanations make their appearance; Native american curse, occult summoned hell beast, the aforementioned werewolf theory…regardless of what it is, there are plenty of spooky-ass stories about whatever it is; and

Five teen stereotypes; Claire, the nerd (Holly Taylor), the rich bitch Brooke (Alice Zeokolski), the timid M.J. (Tara Robinson), sporty Greta (Adrienne Rose-White ) and Jules, the goth (Britt Flatmo) meet each other in detention where they learn of Jules’ abilities in witchcraft (as is often the case). Before long they convene in the woods just outside of their small New England town (which of course has a history of witchcraft) and before you can say The Craft, they form a coven. At first they revel in their new-found powers, but soon all that spell-castin’ begins taking it’s toll, as the girls begin to suffer physically from their magic…the law of equivalent exchange and all that. Soon the coven is wracked with strife, and a mystery from decades past may claim their lives! I was surprised by The Witch Files. First of all, the cast is really strong, and not full of the typical annoying teens you would expect to

In the film, “A disgraced children’s puppeteer must confront his sinister stepfather and a hideous puppet he keeps hidden in a brown leather bag in order to escape the dark horrors of his past.” James Harris, Mark Lane, Wayne Marc Godfrey, and Robert Jones produced. “a supernatural horror combining the dark psycho-drama of George Romero’s Martin with the uncanny terror of Dead of Night,” Holness enthusiastically described the movie to ScreenDaily when originally announced. “The film draws on the dark nightmares of silent expressionist horror, British classics such as The Innocents and Don’t Look Now, as well as the claustrophobic suburban gothic of Pete Walker’s Frightmare. Possum will terrify in the best tradition of classic horror cinema, evoking an atmosphere of supernatural dread and creeping horror.” Possum arrives in VOD November 2, 2018,

Before it even opens in theaters fans are already drooling like a dog with rabies over the new Halloween movie. Well, what we are about to say is going to say may their blow minds, Blumhouse is already planning for sequels! Yeah, for sure, for sure, 100 percent,” Blum told EW. “Let me tell you, if we got six movies out of [Paranormal Activity] — they found new footage five times in a row! — I feel like we can figure out the next chapter. But we’ll see.” Originally director David Gordon Green and writer Danny McBride had a trilogy in mind, so odds are we’ll see Michael again. We were going to shoot two of them back-to-back,” McBride said “Then we were like, Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This could come out, and everyone could hate us, and we’d never work again. So, let’s not have to sit around for a year while we wait for another

Directors Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kölsch, the duo behind Starry Eyes, have teamed up for the remake of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. Judging by the first images shared by Entertainment Weekly, it may end up being a decent film. But until we do see some footage we’ll be wondering if “sometimes dead is better,” at least when it comes to classic horror films. This version stars Jason Clarke as Louis Creed, Amy Seimetz as Rachel Creed, Jete Laurence as Ellie Creed, and Hugo and Lucas Lavoie as Gage Creed. John Lithgow is playing the role of their neighbor Jud. Jeff Buhler wrote the script for the new version of one of Stephen King’s most popular tales. Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers, 1408), Mark Vahradian (Transformers), and Stephen Schneider (Insidious) are producing. One of the things about doing a new version now is our understanding of life and death has progressed,” producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said. “But are we more sophisticated about
