‘The Nun II’ Conjures An October Home Release Date

Less than a month after its September premiere in theaters, The Nun II, the latest entry of the ever-expanding Conjuring universe, is coming home after bringing in more than $101 million at US box offices. The Nun saw Sister Irene and Father Burke investigate a suicide at a remote convent in Romania. Sister Irene may have won that battle, but unknown to them was the fact that the demon escaped inside their guide, Frenchie. The Nun II, set in 1956, four years after the events in Romania, sees a priest is murdered. Evil is spreading at the school where Sister Irene now teaches. Once again she must face the demon Nun. The sequel sees the return of Taissa Farmiga as Sister Irene, Anna Popplewell as Kate, Katelyn Downey as Sophie, Jonas Bloquet as Frenchie, and Bonnie Aarons as Valak/the Nun. Storm Reid joins them. Michael Chaves (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It) directed from the script by Akela

Participants Enter ‘McKamey Manor’ In New Doc “Monster Inside”

Odds are you have heard of the infamous haunted attraction McKamey Manor. The place many compare to experiencing being trapped in a real-life horror movie. The new documentary Monster Inside: America’s Most Extreme Haunted House delves into infamous, brutal attraction owned by Navy Veteran Russ McKamey. By cultivating an online persona and a cult-like following, Russ was allowed to display his basest instincts and rewarded with online fame and notoriety. Driven by his personal fixations, he turned his backyard haunt into a bona fide torture chamber: videotaping “contestants,” particularly vulnerable young women, as he sees how far he can push them – both inside and outside of the haunt. Merging documentary storytelling with the visual and cinematic language of a horror film, MONSTER INSIDE follows three participants as they dive deep into Russ’s world and then find the will to fight back. Surrounded by controversy, McKamey Manor has been the ultimate terrifying attraction for years, and is open all year

Director Teases There Is Still A Future For The 'Underworld' Series

Director Teases There Is Still A Future For The ‘Underworld’ Series

As the 20th anniversary of the Underworld franchise approaches, the original director and franchise co-creator Len Wiseman recently dropped some hints that there is still life in the vampire/werewolf franchise yet, possibly on the small screen. During a recent talk with Entertainment Weekly Wiseman said, “there’s a fashion that is in the works, but I can’t talk about it. But there is a future to Underworld for sure.” When asked if he was talking about a TV series, he did confirm “That’s the one I’m referring to.” The first mention of an Underworld series came back in 2016, just ahead of the premiere of Underworld: Blood Wars. And honestly, it has the potential of being a great series, as long as Beckinsale returns as Selene. Back in 2016 Wiseman told Collider, “Yes, there’s been a lot of conversations and even development on what that series would be. It’s really appropriate for television, in terms of how those characters can really
