Last year we reported that the classic The Witches is headed for a reboot. Today we have an update. Robert Zemeckis is set to direct the new adaptation of the novel penned by Ronald Dahl, which was first adapted by Nicolas Roeg back in 1990. Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuaron will be producing. Zemeckis revealed a little tidbit to Allocine, saying that the new film will have a different setting and will stay closer to the original tale. We’re going to set it in the Gothic South in the 1960s. It’s an exciting way to put a sociological spin on this kind of witch story.” Zemeckis stated. The 1990 film follows a seven-year-old boy who finds himself in danger after stumbling across a convention of real-life witches and must find a way to stop them.

With the new year comes a veritable ass-load of short fright flicks that fine fiends have asked me to lay my putrid peepers upon (or like three…but one man’s small amount is another man’s ass-load I never say…). So without further ado, here comes some bite-sized revoltin’ reviews! Slash (2018): Callum (Michael Mowen) is just tryin’ to enjoy a sinister slasher pic, but his gal pal Sydney (Chloe Carroll…who also produced the film) is riding his ass like a cheap suit calling out every beloved stalk n’ slay trope and giving it a savage roasting that will have you wishing ol’ C-dawg would throw her out on her ear. Of course soon the tables turn, and Sydney finds herself in just the situation she so mercilessly took jabs at, but will she fare any better than the characters on the silver screen? Running at a brief eight minutes and change, Slash is a great skewering of that one mother fucker

One of the most talked about series of the season is Netflix’s Bird Box. While we never see the monsters in the film, we almost did. You see, there was a deleted scene that revealed the monsters. Star Sandra Bullock described the creature as being a “green man with a horrific baby face.” On Instagram, special effects artist Andy Bergholtz and the effects company SFX Atlas recently shared some photos of the creature that would have been revealed in the deleted scene. We had the unique pleasure of designing a creepy makeup for the film, although the scene ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor. Keep in mind, the fatal “vision” that each character saw would most likely be different for each person (you’ll understand if you’ve seen the film), and this makeup appeared in a cut “dream/nightmare sequence” with Sandra Bullock’s character.Considering her pregnant state and emotional arc thru the movie, the producers felt Sandra’s nightmare would have
