Stephen King Has Written A Sequel To His Rabid Dog Classic ‘Cujo’!
Will Stephen King ever stop crafting terrifying tales? God, we hope not. During a recent chat with The Losers’ Club Podcast, the master of horror revealed that his new tale, Rattlesnakes, is actually a sequel to his classic rabid dog novel Cujo! “I just wrote a long story called Rattlesnakes. And it involves, at one part, twins who are only four years old… falling into a rattlesnake pit. And the snakes get them. It’s a terrible scene.” King continues, “This novella that I’ve just written, Rattlesnakes… is a sequel to Cujo.” While that’s all the details we know about the new tale, that’s enough for us to want to read it. While Cujo didn’t precisely set things up for a sequel, one thing the two stories do have in common is that young children are put in danger, which is every parent’s worst nightmare. For those who don’t know, Cujo centers on a beloved Saint Bernard who became infected with

First Look: Horror ‘Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey’ Turns Lovable Bear From Our Childhood Into A Killer
Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield is about to ruin your childhood. He’s turning the lovable, honey-loving character Winnie the Pooh into a psycho killer in the upcoming brutal horror movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. The movie that has zero to do with Disney, is made possible because Winnie the Pooh is now one of the characters that are in now public domain, meaning anyone can do whatever they want with him, Waterfield just happened to decide to make him into a brutal killer. While there have yet to be any details of the plot revealed, it appears that the movie centers on a Winnie the Pooh mask-wearing killer, or maybe it’s Pooh himself. It’s hard to tell from the images. In the first look it looks like the famous bear will be joined by his long-time pal Piglet, but this time the sweet pig is turned into a bigger, meaner version with huge tusks.

Following its hit festival run, including its world premiere at Frightfest, “Cult Classic of the Future” LAGUNA AVE. is now available on VOD platforms and by subscription from Arrow Releasing.

Tribeca Festival Heaps on the Horror at Midnight
Tribeca Festival has a tantalizing, sure-to-be-terrifying array of horror movies, thrillers, and related genre offerings slated for this year’s Midnight section of the renowned fest, which takes place June 8–19, 2022 in New York City. Along with the Midnight section, the TribecXploitation series offers three NYC-shot grindhouse classics on the big screen, presented by their directors. Following are brief descriptions of each film, followed by my thoughts in italics. Midnight Attachment Maja and Leah’s new relationship is interrupted when mysterious things start happening in their London flat. It seems that Leah’s disapproving mother, who lives downstairs, is using Jewish folklore to come between them. Folk horror is red hot at the moment, and religious horror is always a popular subgenre. It sounds as though this slice of Danish fear fare may have elements of both, and the acting is said to be particularly strong. The Black Phone Locked in a soundproof basement by a masked child killer, a teenage boy

Forgotten Sequels To Classic Horror Films – Part I
Let’s be honest, some movies are simply made to make a buck. The majority of those movies are either reboots/remakes or sequels. The latter is what we’re looking at today. Some of the biggest genre films in history, like Roman Polanski’s classic Rosemary’s Baby, have long forgotten sequels. That’s right, there’s a sequel. We’ve put together a list of popular horror films with sequels that no one remembers and for some movies, that’s a good thing. Two years after Christian Bale had an ax to grind in Mary Harron’s American Psycho a sequel, American Psycho II: All American Girl was released that just didn’t capture the original’s je ne sais quoi. It also lacks Bale and instead centers on a young woman, played by Mila Kunis, who has taste for murder. Was it as good as the original? Hell no. But It’s there if you want to watch it? Yes. Donnie Darko has quite the fan base, but some might
