Spike TV Orders The Series Adaption Of Stephen King’s The Mist

The television adaption of Stephen King’s 1980 novella The Mist has now gotten the go-ahead. Straight-to-series orders have been given from Spike TV, according to Deadline. The network ordered the pilot from Dimension Television for the series back in February and it sounds like they like what they’ve seen. The script for The Mist will be written by Christian Torpe, who will also serve as executive producer. The series will use both King’s novel and the 2007 film as inspiration. It will tell an original story about a mist, filled with otherworldly terrors, that takes over a small town. Tensions between neighbors escalates as the creatures in the mist draw closer, but they must find a way to band together to survive. The 2007 film adaption was written and directed by Frank Darabont and stars Thomas Jane, Laurie Holden, Sam Witwer and Melissa McBride. It was both terrifying and heart breaking. I look forward to seeing Spike TV’s version of

“Contracted: Phase 2” Horror Film Review

“Contracted: Phase 2” is the 2015 sequel to the 2013 film “Contracted”. The original was directed by Eric England who had a part in making the slasher “Madison County”. “Contracted” starred Najarra Townsend who also was in “The Toy Soldiers” and Caroline Williams who played Dr. Maple in Rob Zombie’s “Halloween II”. It was about a girl who contracts an STD that turns out to be a zombie type virus. “Contracted: Phase 2” had a mostly new cast including the director who was Josh Forbes. This is Forbes’ first feature length film, but in the past he has directed a few shorts. Our main protagonist here is played by Matt Mercer who was actually in the first “Contracted”. “Contacted: Phase 2” is written by Craig Walendziak who also helped produce the 2015 horror film “He Never Died,” which is actually a pretty cool movie that I would recommend watching. The film has the same basic premise that the first one
