We are midway through yet another week my Little Monsters. August is well underway, the kiddie winkies are heading back to school (HUZZAH!), and Halloween lurks in the not so distant future – a mere 83 days to be exact. But f you’re here, it means you’re in need of creepy, horror related goodies. And as I an known to do every Wednesday, I have returned to bring you all another wonderful Woman of Horror. This weeks female focal point is Miss Shawnee Smith. I don’t know about the rest of you, but the first time I remember seeing Shawnee Smith on screen was in the movie Summer School. And while it wasn’t a horror film, it did feature Dean Cameron and Gary Riley as the horror film (specifically the Tobe Hooper classic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) addicted characters of Francis “Chainsaw” Gremp and Dave “Just Dave” Frasier.

The New Trailer For ‘Mother!’ Proves “Seeing Is Believing”

The first trailer for Darren Aronofsky’s horror-thriller Mother! has been unveiled and not only is it filled with suspense, it left me wanting more. Aronofsky knows how to build an intense, twisted story. Just look at his films Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream. Not only does the film have a great writer-director, the cast is quite impressive and includes names like Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, Michelle Pfeiffer, Domhnall Gleeson, Stephen McHattie, and Kristen Wiig. The film centers on a couple whose relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence and proves that “seeing is believing”. Mother! opens in theaters on September 15, 2017, from Paramount Pictures.

Uncork’d Entertainment Will Unleash ‘Demons’ This October

Miles Doleac’s (American Horror Story) supernatural thriller Demons has now wrapped and is aiming at an October theatrical release. A brand image from the film has arrived and we have it to share with you. Co-starring Wishmaster’s Andrew Divoff, and Smallville alum John Schneider, Demons tells of a celebrated fiction writer and former priest who, along with his wife, are tormented by the ghost of her late sister, as the details of her grisly death are slowly uncovered. Written by Doleac, whose previous film, the small-town murder mystery The Hollow, was released in theaters late last year, Demons is described as a “psychological thriller that marries elements of The Exorcist, The Shining and The Big Chill.” Initially, my decision to write a horror script was predicated on necessity: I had a synopsis for an “exorcism” script that Lindsay (my wife) and I had worked up together. Star-writer-director Doleac stated, “A major distributor had expressed interest. Said distributor wanted to see

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. Christina was discovered by a critic from a Bergen County paper, The Record, at the age of eight years old, while performing in a school production of The Twelve Days of Christmas at Edgemont Elementary. She wasn’t originally cast
