Alan Fine’s Paranormal Film ‘The Catalyst’

A few days ago I stumbled across a tweet from the account for a movie ‘The Catalyst’. I was curious, and upon further investigation, I found a website address. On the website, which is still under construction, I found a place where people can submit their true ghost stories by a post or video. I couldn’t resist, I submitted my tale (yes I believe in ghosts), then I continued on, to the part of the site dedicated to the movies, Alan Fine intends to make into a franchise. The movie has an interesting plot. In ‘The Catalyst’ a couple, challenged with fertility problems, finally have the daughter they longed for, but as a child the daughter is killed in a freak accident. After several years the couple is blessed with another daughter. When the girl turns the same age at which they lost the first daughter, strange paranormal activity begins to plague the family. The smallest accident, the drop of

Smith has now announced his plan for the final film in the series, titled ‘Moose Jaws’. Smith made the announcement on the 40th anniversary of ‘Jaws’ by posting a picture of himself standing next the mechanical shark (nicknamed “Bruce”) used in ‘Jaws’. “Jaws, the movie that made me fall in love with movies, turns 40 today,” He continued “Next year, I make my homage entitled #MooseJaws. It’s Jaws, but with a moose.” Very little is known about ‘Moose Jaws’ at this point, except that it is said that in one scene, the Moose eats a child. We can expect ‘Moose Jaws’ some time next year.

After twenty five years, the 1988 psychedelic horror-comedy ‘Killer Klowns From Outer Space’ is getting a sequel. ‘Killer Klowns For Outer Space’ starred Grant Cramer, Suzanne Snyder, Michael S.

In the movie a group of aliens, dressed as clowns, land in a small town to feed. The clowns roamed the town, in-casing their victims in cotton candy like cocoons and take them back to their ship, which looked like a circus big top, to be consumed. ‘Killer Klowns’ is one of the most unique movies of the horror genre.
