‘Happy Death Day 3’ Is On Its Way
On Valentine’s Day Blumhouse’s Happy Death Day 2U was released, while it didn’t take box offices by storm, it turned out to be a decent flick. It has now been announced that a third installment is on its way. No details have been revealed but we have to assume that the three stars of both the first film and the sequel, Jessica Rothe, Isreal Broussard, and Phi Vu, will be returning. Happy Death Day follows Tree (Rothe) as she wakes up time after time in Carter (Broussard) and Ryan’s (Phan) dorm room after living the same day until she uncovers who her killer is. In Happy Death Day 2 U all three of the friends are trapped in a Ground Hog’s Day style loop after Ryan’s machine triggers a loop. Last we saw the machine it had been confiscated by the government. I’m guessing this time the loop will be bigger. We’ll keep you posted. In the meantime check out

“Walking Dead” Star Pollyanna McIntosh Talks Darlin’ And More In An Interview
I sat down with talented actress turned director Pollyanna McIntosh to talk with her about many things, including her role on “The Walking Dead”, in The Woman and her directorial debut Darlin’ which we gave a rave review. Darlin’, the sequel to 2011’s intense horror film The Woman, centers on a young feral woman (Lauryn Canny) who finds her way into a hospital. She is whisked off to a care home run by The Bishop (Bryan Batt, AMC’s Mad Men) and his obedient nuns where she is to be tamed into a “good girl.” However, Darlin’ holds a secret darker than the “sins” she is threatened with, and she is not traveling alone. The Woman (McIntosh), equally fierce and feral, who raised her is ever-present and is determined to come for her no matter who tries to step in her way. Horror Fuel: “How has playing Jadis/Anne affected your life?” Pollyanna McIntosh: “Wow, good question. I think that being on

A Serial Killer Spills Blood In The First Batch Of Images From ‘ARTIK’
Award-winning filmmaker, Tom Botchii, is gearing up for the World Premiere of his horror-thriller, ARTIK. With Popcorn Frights just weeks away, we have an exclusive look at brutal stills from the film to share with you. In the film, “a comic book obsessed serial killer teaches his son how to get away with a series of brutal murders until the boy befriends a mysterious man who threatens to expose everything.” It sounds funny but making ARTIK, a film about a murderer, was actually, kind of healing. Truth is, the character himself is loosely based on my dad and the character of Holton was based around an ex-girlfriend,” says Botchii. “So from the moment that I started writing, it felt like the story was just pouring out of me and releasing a lot of pent up emotion. And that was the original goal, do something that gets this off my chest, but also works as a small, independent horror production. Then,

Opinion: Why ‘The Terror: Infamy’ Will Be The Greatest Show This Summer
On August 12th the second season of AMC’s The Terror will premier. This season’s installment titled The Terror: Infamy will follow in the footsteps of the first season where a historical event is a backdrop for a horror story. While the flagship (no pun intended) season and series are based on the novel by Dan Simmons, the second season is original. Seeing the trailers, pictures, and tweets, I have come to the conclusion that The Terror: Infamy will be the greatest show on TV this summer. The Setting The story takes place during one of the most controversial moments during the Second World War, the imprisonment of Americans of Japanese descent. After the events of Pearl Harbor aka “the Day of Infamy”, Americans of Japanese descent were put into Internment Camps as the US government believed that individuals of Japanese ancestry would sympathize with the Imperial Japanese Government and attack America from within. It was later determined that this course

Speaking of which, since Eric is always a level-headed fellow he puts the kibosh on Hewitt using a black mamba (clearly a python standing
