‘IT’ Director Sets His Sights On The ‘Pet Sematary’ Remake

There is little doubt that the most highly anticipated film of the year is IT. Even though the adaption of Stephen King’s classic is still a month from opening in theaters, director Andy Muschietti has already confirmed that he will be helming the second film that will pick up with the Losers’ Club as adults. But it seems Muschietti and his producer/sister Barbara are going to continue making King adaptions, at least for a while. Their next target, the remake of King’s Pet Semetary, originally released in 1989 and directed by Mary Lambert. We reported back in 2015 that Paramount had ordered the reboot of Pet Sematary. It is unclear what has changed, but the remake has been listed for sale. Muschietti told the Toronto Sun that he is hoping to claim it for his own. We’re huge fans of Pet Sematary. If we can get our hands on that and do the Pet Sematary we want to do, that

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Christina Ricci

Welcome back, my Little Monsters! This week it’s Woman Crush Wednesday in more ways than one. It not only refers to the day of the week, but arguably this wonderful Woman of Horror’s most famous character – Wednesday Addams. That’s right it’s the spooky, tiny, lovely and talented Christina Ricci. Christina is the baby of the family, being the fourth out of four children born to Sara Murdoch and Ralph Ricci. You could say she’s a California girl, having been born in Santa Monica. But Christina actually grew up in Montclair, New Jersey, where she attended Edgemont Elementary School, Glenfield Middle School, Montclair High School, as well as the Morristown-Beard School and then the Children’s Professional School in New York City.

‘IT’ Director Signs On For Hulu’s Adaption Of Joe Hill’s ‘Lock & Key’

Back in April Hulu announced that they had an adaption of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s IDW comic, Lock & Key, in the works. Originally, Scott Derrickson (Sinister) was attached to direct the pilot for the one-hour series. Now, Deadline is reporting Derrickson has stepped away due to a scheduling conflict with his other series, Snowpiercer. Andy Muschietti will be taking Derrickson’s seat in the directors chair. Muschietti must really be a fan of the King family, after adapting Stephen King’s IT and now adapting King’s son’s (Joe Hill) comic. The series centers around three siblings who, after the gruesome murder of their father, move to their ancestral home in Maine only to find the house has magical keys that give them a vast array of powers and abilities. Little do they know, a devious demon also wants the keys, and will stop at nothing to obtain them. Lock & Key is from Hill, Carlton Cuse (The Strain) and IDW

‘IT’ Scares Up R Rating

Rejoice, horror fans, as it appears Pennywise won’t be holding back when it comes to visceral terror.

The MPAA has cited the highly-anticipated film’s “violence/horror”, blood, and harsh language as the reasons for the restricted rating.

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Julie Harris

Yes my Little Monsters, ’tis Wednesday and that means it’s time for us all to come together to celebrate another wonderful Woman of Horror. Now not all of these lovely and talented ladies have an extensive horror resume, and such is the case with today’s featured lady, Julie Harris. But that’s not to say that her contribution is not a significant one within the horror genre, and it’s a contribution we’ll get to in a minute. Julie was born Julia Ann Harris in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, to Elsie and William Pickett Harris. She would go on to attend and eventually graduate from Grosse Pointe Country Day School, during which time her family encouraged her to pursue the performing arts. Julie would then make the move to New York City, where she would attend The Hewitt School. She would also receive training during her teenage years, at the Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School & Camp located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Charlotte Perry,
