Peter Sullivan Talks ‘Cucuy: The Boogeyman’ Ahead Of SyFy Premiere

Writer-director-producer Peter Sullivan sat down with us to talk about some of his past projects and his upcoming film Cucuy: The Boogeyman ahead of its October 13th premiere on SyFy. Starring “Riverdale’s” Marisol Nichols, Brian Krause (Charmed), Jearnest Corchado (Blacklist), Bella Stine (“Peanuts”), Pedro Correa (“Turnt”), and Mick Ignis (Stan Against Evil) as the Cucuy, the film centers on a town whose children have begun disappearing. A rebellious teen under house arrest starts to suspect that a legendary evil, a boogeyman, known as the Cucuy, might be responsible. Horror Fuel: “You’ve been a busy guy having produced 99, writing 81 films, directing 27. How do you manage?” Peter Sullivan: “One of the things I do like to do is to bounce between genres.

The New ‘Hellboy’ Poster Is Badass AF!

Director Neil Marshall (The Descent) is taking Hellboy to a much darker place with his new “R” film starring David Harbour (Stranger Things). The new poster has been released and it is badass, making us rethink the doubts we had when the film was first announced. Milla Jovovich plays the role of Nimue, the villain of the film, Ian McShane plays Professor Broom, Daniel Dae Kim plays Major Ben Daimio, Penelope Mitchell acts as Ganeida and Sasha Lane as Alice. Sophie Okonedo, Brian Gleeson, and Alistar Petrie co-star. This time around, Hellboy (Harbour) squares off against a medieval sorceress (Jovovich) who seeks to destroy humankind. Aron Coleite wrote the latest version of the script penned by Andrew Cosby, Christopher Golden, and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. Christa Campbell, Lati Grobman, and Carl Hampe executive produced the film. Hellboy will open in theaters nationwide on April 12, 2019.

Writer-Director P.J. Starks Reviews ‘The Predator’ For Horror Fuel

P.J. Starks, the man behind the Volumes of Blood franchise, a writer, director, and producer, has shared with us his review of The Predator, written and directed by Shane Black. Follow Volumes of Blood on Facebook to stay up to date on Stark’s upcoming sequel Volumes of Blood: Devil’s Knight. When a young boy accidentally triggers the universe’s most lethal hunters’ return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.
