Happy Halloween

** SUSPIRIA remake: In limited release, Luca Guadagnino's arthouse remake of SUSPIRIA opened in just two cinemas but pulled in a stellar $179,806. That gives it a per screen average of $89,903 which is the highest recorded for a film released in 2018 to date. Amazon Studios will test audiences' reaction to the arty gore with a rollout into 250 locations next weekend, followed by an expansion into more cities in its third outing.

** John Carpenter and Shudder: These days filmmaker John Carpenter is happily enjoying his retirement, movie making no longer holding much interest as instead he's playing video games and making music.

He did come back out to play a little this year, serving as a consultant, producer and crafting the entire score for the new HALLOWEEN. Now he's also done a little side job – he's created a musical theme for the horror streaming service Shudder.

Laced with his trademark synth sound, Carpenter has come up with two versions which you can hear below. One is a full theme at nearly two minutes, the other a five-second version for interstitials featuring the Shudder logo. The new theme makes its debut today during a 24-hour streaming marathon of Carpenter's original HALLOWE

In a press release, Shudder GM Craig Engler says: "We wanted to create a one-of-a-kind audio identity for Shudder and the first person we thought of was John Carpenter. We approached John and to our delight, he was enthusiastic about the idea and came up with an iconic theme that will enchant and thrill Shudder members every time they hear it."

This follows on from recent comments by Carpenter hinting that a TV series based on Carpenter's 1987 film PRINCE OF DARKNESS could be on the way at Shudder.

** HALLOWEEN sequel: With the new HALLOWEEN scoring strong reviews, a stellar $76 million domestic opening last weekend and a likely second weekend in the top spot with a further $32 million estimated, it comes as little surprise that talk of another potential film in the franchise has been swirling for the past few days.

First up, co-writer Danny McBride tells Deadline he's in the process of coming up with an idea: "We definitely have ideas of what we would do. [We] have thoughts and ideas of what we could possibly do. We hadn't invested a ton of time on them, but now we're being asked to figure it out. There are definitely talks on whether we will do more of them and we're just trying to see what best makes sense."

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis tells Empire Australia that she's up for coming back but on one condition: "If David Gordon Green called me up and said let's do another Halloween, I would do another HALLOWEEN... because he did such a beautiful job creating this movie."

Producer Jason Blum tells The Wrap web site he's keen to get to work on a follow-up: "It's hard to make a great movie, period, and I always say, make a great movie first and we'll figure out a franchise after. Of course we would want to make a sequel, in fact, we're dying to make a sequel... there are a lot of people that have to be in the same mindset as us. Nothing's been set in stone, but we're certainly going to try." (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** DARK HARVEST: New Regency has acquired the film rights to Norman Partridge's award-winning horror novel DARK HARVEST and have set Michael Gilio to pen the film while Matt Tolmach (VENOM) will produce. The story is set on Halloween in 1963 in a small Midwestern town where teenage boys eagerly square off with the butcher knife-wielding October Boy and escape a dead-end future in the one-horse town.

** GRUDGE reboot: Director Nicolas Pesce's GRUDGE will hit theaters on June 21, according to the Deadline web site. This moves its release date up almost two months from its original slate of August 16. Pesce's film is a remake of the 2004 film THE GRUDGE, which is itself a remake of the 2002 Japanese film JU-ON THE GRUDGE. (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** THE BOY 2: STXfilms and Lakeshore Entertainment have announced their latest joint venture, THE BOY 2, a follow up to the successful horror-thriller feature THE BOY (2016), which starred Lauren Cohan and Rupert Evans. Katie Holmes will headline the cast in the role of Liza. William Brent Bell will return to direct the sequel. Principal photography will begin in Victoria, British Columbia on January 14th, 2019. (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE: The launch of THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE on Netflix has proven a hit both with critics and audiences. It's also a limited event series by design as opposed to an ongoing one, so creatively there's no need for a second season.

That said if Netflix should order one, the show's creator Mike Flanagan confirms it will focus on completely different characters so as not to undo the careful work of the first season which admittedly has little resemblance to the Shirley Jackson novel upon which it is based. Speaking with EW, Flanagan said:

"I don't want to speculate too much about season two until Netflix and Paramount and Amblin let us know if they want one. What I will say, though, is that as far as I've ever been concerned with this, the story of the Crain family is told. It's done. I think that there are all sorts of different directions we could go in, with the house or with something completely different.

I love the idea of an anthology as well. But to me, I felt like the Crains have been through enough, and we left them exactly as we all wanted to remember them, those of us who worked on it. We toyed with a cliffhanger ending and we toyed with other ideas, but ultimately, in the writers' room and with the cast and everything else, we really felt like the story demanded a certain kind of closure from us and we were happy to close the book on that family.

I think more than anything, the show is about haunted places and haunted people, as Steve says, and there's no shortage of either. So, there's any number of things we could do, in or out of Hill House." (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** NIGHT OF THE COMET remake: Roxanne Benjamin (SOUTHBOUND) will be penning the remake of the cult-horror comedy NIGHT OF THE COMET for Orion Pictures, the Deadline web site has confirmed. (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** CRITTERS and KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE remakes: Syfy is reportedly in talks for the remake rights to the Chido Brothers' two 1980s cult sci-fi/horror/comedy classics – CRITTERS and KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE. The plan is to reportedly make new films based on the properties.

The original CRITTERS followed what happens when strange fuzzy malevolent little fur balls from outer space crash land on the farm of a family who must fend them off. KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE follows teens who discover a pack of murderous aliens who look very much like circus clowns. Both films were notable for their practical creature effects and dark comedy. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** HEREDITARY director next film: A24 announced that HEREDITARY director Ari Aster's next horror film, a story about a vacation gone violently wrong, will hit theaters on August 9 of next year. HEREDITARYtook audiences by storm when it hit theaters in June of this year, so A24 is hoping that summer audiences will react as well to his as-yet-untitled follow-up.

While it doesn't have a title, the film will star Jack Reynor, Florence Pugh as "a couple that travels to Sweden to visit their friend's rural hometown for its fabled mid-summer festival. What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult," as reported earlier this summer.

Aster also told The Hollywood Reporter some details about it back in June. "I'm in pre-production for my next film which will be shooting in Hungary," said Aster. "A24 is doing that as well, and that is technically a horror film. It's Scandinavian folk horror. That is the only other horror movie I have. And I'm pretty sure that's going to be it for a long time." (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** THE PURGE: The franchise continues to have impressive legs at the box office, and has even spawned a TV series, but that hasn't stopped series creator James DeMonaco from crafting what he believes would be a fitting end to the bloody saga.

Speaking in an interview with EW, DeMonaco explained the next entry will likely be the last. "I have it in my head. I think I'm going to write it. I think it's a great way to end it all. We want to end it all, I think, in this one, and I'm very excited. When I came up with the idea and pitched it to everybody, they seemed psyched, and I think it will be a really cool ending, how we take this one home." (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** TRICK: DRIVE ANGRY director Patrick Lussier and co-writer Todd Farmer are re-teaming for the horror thriller TRICK for Revek Entertainment. The story follows an elusive serial killer who descends upon a small town annually and is responsible for gruesome murders year after year, each in different jurisdictions and seemingly unrelated.

No one believes this could be the same killer, but Detective Mike Denver (Dermot Mulroney) has faced Trick once before – he shot and killed him. Or so everyone keeps telling him. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** SUSPIRIA remake: Here's yet another song from the upcoming film.

** ROSEMARY'S BABY 50th Anniversary Edition: In celebration of the film's release in 1968, Paramount Home Media has released a brand new trailer for ROSEMARY'S BABY 50th Anniversary Edition, which is available now on Digital.

** HALLOWEEN: With a staggering, $77.5 million debut, Universal and Blumhouse's HALLOWEEN topped the weekend with the second largest October opening weekend of all-time. The film, which carries a tiny, $10 million production budget, features Jamie Lee Curtis in her iconic role of Laurie Strode.

Overall, it played to a crowd that was 53% male and 59% were age 25 or older, The film should play well over the coming weeks, especially with its namesake holiday just around the corner. (thanks to BoxOfficeMojo.com)

** LeBron James for FRIDAY THE 13TH: NBA superstar LeBron James and his Springhill Entertainment production company label are currently in talks with Vertigo Entertainment to produce a reboot of the FRIDAY THE 13TH franchise.

Vertigo produced last year's IT along with THE RING and THE GRUDGE franchises. James, who is already attached to produce the SAPCE JAM sequel, is a huge horror fan and has released FRIDAY THE 13TH-themed sneakers in the past.

What's not clear in the report is how or when. The franchise has been caught in a legal quagmire for much of this year, though that cleared up a little the other week when it was announced that the original film's screenwriter Victor Miller won a summary judgment against the producers (who are appealing) which grant Miller U.S. rights to the property. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** Robert Englund back as Freddy Krueger: On ABC's The Goldbergs this Wednesday.

The highly-anticipated follow-up is scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 15, 2020. Krasinski spoke at a Q&A in Los Angeles at the Silver Screen Theatre, saying that he initially told Paramount to do the sequel with somebody else since he "had this small idea for a sequel, but I didn't think it would go anywhere."

"They heard some pitches, and I told [Andrew Form, producer] about this little idea," said Krasinski. "And he told me to think about it a little longer. And then I thought, 'This might really work.' So, I'm currently writing the sequel." (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA: Here's the trailer for the upcoming film.

** ESCAPE ROOM: In the film, six strangers find themselves in circumstances beyond their control and must use their wits to find the clues or die.

----- October 18, 2018 -----

** THEY LIVE sequel: Filmmaker John Carpenter has seemingly teased the possibility of a follow-up to his iconic 1988 feature THEY LIVE. The 1950s-inspired but 1980s set paranoia sci-fi tale starred wrestler Roddy Piper as a drifter who finds sunglasses that reveal the 'real world' – aliens are already living amongst us and use subliminal techniques to enforce subjugation.

Famed for its satirical humor, social commentary, and the extended fight scene between Piper and Keith David, the movie very specifically commented on the era of Reaganomics. Even so, it's a property that is certainly adaptable for the Trump-era – be it a full on reboot or a sequel.

Out doing promotion for the new HALLOWEEN this week, Carpenter himself spoke with the Den of Geek web site and confirmed that DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES director Matt Reeves was set to direct at one point: "There was a feature film. It was a feature film called RESISTANCE, written by, oh, the guy who did the Apes movies. Matt Reeves. But then he moved on."

Asked how Carpenter himself would approach a modern-day take on THEY LIVE, the master filmmaker says: "Well, I'm not gonna tell you about that, because it might be closer to reality than you think…. The sequel is, well, we'll see. We'll just have to see."

The director also recently teased a potential TV series take on his 1987 feature PRINCE OF DARKNESS for horror streaming service Shudder, but says that one is "not ready to go yet". (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** ABRAKADABRA: Here's the very cool poster for the upcoming film from directors Luciano and Nicolás Onetti.

** THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA: New Line Cinema has released the official poster art for producer James Wan's next horror feature, directed by Michael Chaves. The film follows social worker Anna Garcia in 1973 Los Angeles as she begins diving in to one of her cases and finds foul play at the hands of a supernatural force, which she finds has similarities to the force terrorizing her family. She looks for help from a local faith healer when the entity, La Llorona, attaches itself to her and will stop at nothing to take her children. (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** HALLOWEEN: Doing promotion for HALLOWEEN this week, actress Jamie Lee Curtis has been fairly brutally honest about her past history with the franchise and how she's churned out some not so great entries in the past: "The real stamp of approval is John Carpenter's, not mine. Because I made a couple of [rubbish] ones. Did you see Resurrection?! HALLOWEEN II wasn't great. H20 was okay. Resurrection is a piece of [crap]. But the seal of approval was John Carpenter."

** WRONG TURN remake: Constantin Film will be remaking the West Virginia cannibal franchise with original writer Alan B. McElroy returning to write the script and Mike P. Nelson set to direct. The upcoming remake will update the time period and plot for timely purposes and to add some social context to the film. The plot is "a cross-country hiking expedition puts a group of friends in the land of an inclusive society, where the soon discover they are under a different rule of law, and may not be the victims they throught they were." (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** Neil Marshall's THE RECKONING: MoviePass Films has greenlit THE DESCENT director Neil Marshall's horror film, starring Charlotte Kirk. THE RECKONING is a female-driven story that is set around the witch hunts and the great plague in England in 1665. The movie follows Evelyn Haverstock (Kirk), a young widow, haunted by the recent suicide of her husband Joseph, who is falsely accused of being a witch by her jealous Landlord, Squire Pendleton, after she rejects his unwanted advances. (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** ANNABELLE 3: The Deadline web site is reporting that Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga will reprise their roles as The Warrens in the upcoming third installment in the ANNABELLE franchise! This will mark the first time paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren have appeared in the spinoffs for newly-filmed footage. The film is scheduled for a July 3, 2019 release by New Line Cinema. (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** CHILD'S PLAY TV series: Speaking at the 2018 Screamfest, writer Don Mancini along with producer David Kirschner offered more details about the forthcoming CHILD'S PLAY TV series which is still currently in development. Mancini confirmed that the series will be set right after the events of the 2017 film CULT OF CHUCKY.

"We deliberately ended Cult with a bunch of cliffhangers to set up a TV series," Mancini said (via the Bloody Disgusting web site). "Because there are so many different threads now, television could best accommodate that so that was done intentionally. At the same time, we have a whole new world, a bunch of new characters which we can say nothing about."

Mancini also said that the new series "involves children," with Kirschner confirming they'd go back to the roots of the series: "The only thing I think we can say is from the original film that Don wrote, CHILD'S PLAY, we are playing with that concept again, the idea of child's play," Kirschner said. "I'll let you guys fill in the pieces of that."

"We saw that after seven movies, how can we flip again?" Mancini added "So this time not by merely changing genre but by changing medium. This will give us a different kind of canvas, a much bigger canvas to explore characters and relationships." (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** WORLD WAR Z sequel: It has been languishing in development for years, but it appears as if the sequel to 2013's WORLD WAR Z is still happening. David Fincher remains attached to direct the film and re-team with his SE7EN star Brad Pitt on the project. At last report he's taking his time to get the script right with the help of screenwriter Dennis Kelly.

Fincher's commitments to the second season of Netflix's MINDHUNTER and Pitt's to Quentin Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD however stopped any chance of filming this year, but producers Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner told Variety this week that the project has set a June 2019 start of filming date and both Pitt and Fincher are still attached.

Kleiner added that they're still working with Kelly on the sequel's script to get it right. It's not clear if the new film will go back to use elements from the original Max Brooks novel which the original film barely touched upon. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** ELVIRA: Cassandra Peterson's iconic character Elvira has been the subject of two films, both of which were some time ago. Yet the former horror host with a unique look and personality remains very popular with horror fans, so much so Peterson has expressed a desire to bring back the character once again for a new film.

Appearing at a Q&A session at Salem Horror Fest to celebrate the 30th anniversary screening of 1988's "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark," Peterson says she's written a full treatment and is currently in the process of shopping it around.

Should it be picked up, it more than likely will be for a streaming service and won't be in cinemas. Streaming outlet Shudder recently brought former horror host Joe Bob Briggs back, presenting several films to fans in a 24-hour marathon, but it proved so popular it wound up crashing the service.

** George A. Romero's unused scripts: When George A. Romero passed away last year, he left behind a legacy of horror unmatched by anyone in the horror movie business. Now, it seems that his legacy can live on even longer. Talking to ComicBook.com, Suzanne Desrocher-Romero, Romero's widow, said that the late, prolific writer has anywhere between 40 and 50 unpublished screenplays.

With this abundance of untold stories from one of the architects of modern horror, Desrocher-Romero said that "George was a prolific writer. He loved to write, and we have 40, 50 scripts that he's written, and a lot of it is very good. He had a lot to say, and he still does, because I'm gonna make sure that he does. It's my mission."

Still, not everything the late auteur left behind were horror movie scripts, it turns out. There's his unfinished novel Road of the Dead, which is still reportedly in development, as well as a film he shot in 1973. "We're gonna restore it, and we're gonna show it to Romero cinephiles," said Desrocher-Romero. "It's a scary movie, but it's not a horror movie, and it's about ageism. Anyway, he has a cameo in it, and it'll be fun. And we'll show the movie, or get it distributed. It'll be a project that the foundation's gonna do. I think it's the first project we're gonna do actually." (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** Warner Bros. upcoming horror films: Warner Bros. Pictures has made it official that their New Line label will book every post-Labor Day weekend for the next four years through 2022.

(thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** PET SEMATARY remake: EW has posted up an extensive report about the film which recently wrapped production, and includes the first official photos from the movie starring Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz and John Lithgow. The story follows a doctor (Clarke) who moves his family out of the big city to the country. He discovers that they have moved near a pet cemetery that resides next to an ancient American-Indian burial ground.

When their toddler son is killed in an auto accident, the father takes the boy's body to the burial ground, where it is resurrected but is not quite right. Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch helm the new film and discussed their new version of the 'Zelda' scene which remains one of the original 1989 adaptation's big scares. Widmyer says:

"It's more accurate to the book, I'll just say that. In the original movie, it's a 21-year-old guy in drag playing it, and in the book, as you recall, it's a 10-year-old girl. You go, 'How do you top Zelda?' It was big and scary and awesome, but if you think about the reality of the Zelda situation, what that would do to a family, with her wasting away in this bedroom, and a younger sister being frightened of her older sister's debilitating illness, that on its own is pretty scary."

Wan will remain on board the project as a producer and will act as a "godfather" for the series.

"While working closely with Chaves on THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA, I got to know him as a filmmaker," said Wan. "Chaves' ability to bring emotion to a story, and his understanding of mood and scares make him a perfect fit to direct the next CONJURING film.

"I am a huge fan of THE CONJURING films," Chaves added. "The movies are the rare combination that deliver both tremendous heart and awesome scares. It is both a total thrill and absolute honor to be working with James and the gang at New Line again." (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** FRIDAY THE 13TH: Screenwriter Victor Miller has prevailed in a legal battle over the franchise. Miller aimed to take advantage of a provision of copyright law that allows authors to terminate a grant of rights and reclaim ownership 35 years after publishing. The film's producers alleged that Miller wrote FRIDAY THE 13TH as a work-made-for-hire after film series producer Sean Cunningham came up with an idea to capitalize on the success of the then-recently released horror film HALLOWEEN. They asserted that Miller's termination notice was ineffective.

Miller's attorney Marc Toberoff argued that while the screenplay was clearly commissioned as part of a motion picture, there never was any writing instrument as required by law spelling out the screenplay was a work-made-for-hire. U.S. District Court Judge Stefan Underhill has now granted summary judgment in favor of Miller and against the producers, saying the screenplay wasn't a work for hire, not prepared within scope of employment, and that labor law doesn't require holding that screenwriter was an employee. Instead, Miller was an independent contractor.

The decision has been pending for almost a year now, and the uncertainty over ownership has reportedly interfered with new sequels being made as well as tie-in works like video games. Miller's victory suggests he will control rights inside the United States while producers control rights outside the domestic market where termination recapture isn't applied. If no settlement occurs and any appeal is unsuccessful, there could be future legal battles over trademarks and character use – but Underhill says the producers "may be able to stake a claim" to hold an independent copyright for the adult Jason character which is very different to the boy of Miller's screenplay.

** HALLOWEEN TV series: David Gordon Green's HALLOWEEN sequel/remake hits theaters in three weeks, possibly kick-starting a brand new franchise, but that hasn't stopped producer Malek Akkad from developing the long-in-the-works TV series.

"You know, it's something that we've had for a long time and I definitely want to see it done," Akkad told Bloody Disgusting. "When we started doing it… this was in development about a decade ago. At the time, I think the thought was we don't want to cannibalize the theatrical. Let's keep it as a theatrical event movie. If that starts flowing down, we would address TV. Nowadays, we all know, TV is pulling out ahead of theatrical in a way that surprised everybody, certainly me."

The producer didn't reveal any specific plot details the show would follow, except to say Michael Myers would return, but teased that it "wouldn't look anything like your traditional HALLOWEEN movie" and that there "are a lot of other characters but used in different and interesting ways."

** Rob Zombie's 3 FROM HELL: Rue Morgue spoke to actor Bill Mosely about his return to the character of Otis Driftwood in Rob Zombie's 3 FROM HELL, the third movie in the Firefly family trilogy.

"All of the people who loved HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES and DEVIL'S REJECTS are going to have a luau of excitement and happiness when they see 3 FROM HELL," Moseley said. "It's going to be a crowdpleaser. From what I've heard from Rob, he's very happy and excited about what he's got, and it's chockablock with gratuitous violence , which is great, because lately there have been a lot of good horror movies that just don't have a lot of that. I mean, the violence is skillful, it's effective, but it's not gratuitous, and that's what I think the fans are missing. I think we just want a lot of violence for violence's sake—decapitations, shotguns to the face, just general ass-kickin' stuff that we're not really getting much of these days."

** HATCHET sequels: The Horror Channel UK reports that Victor Crowley will return for future HATCHET sequels, despite the fact the character was torn to shreds by an airplane engine in the most recent film. But, if horror movies have taught us anything, it's that you can never count a murderous villain out, even in death.

"A major reason why the HATCHET sequels have succeeded is that they were planned out from the very start," Green said. "In the first film, I actually showed some of the weapons that Victor Crowley wouldn't actually use until the later films and I held back crucial elements of his mythology to be revealed later on down the road. Of course, it was also a risky move given that there was no way of knowing if I'd ever get to make the sequels."

He continued, "Originally I had only planned for HATCHET to be a trilogy, but when I decided to bring 'Victor Crowley' back for more I planned out another complete roadmap for where it could all go. With the success of VICTOR CROWLEY it looks like I'll once again be able to make the sequels I have planned. I've been able to stay in love with Victor Crowley because I only head back into his swamp when I'm ready to do so. Given that HATCHET is a cult franchise and not a studio property, my crew and I have always been able to make each film only when we want to. The "Hatchet Army" has always been willing to patiently wait until I'm ready. Not every filmmaker has such a luxury and I have never taken it for granted." (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** ABRAKADABRA: Dante, The Great", a prestigious magician, accidentally dies during a risky magic trick. Thirty-five years later his son Lorenzo, also a magician, presents a magic show in one of the most important theatres in the city.

** UNDERWORLD: It made her an action star, but British actress Kate Beckinsale says she's done with the UNDERWORLD franchise and won't be suiting up as the vampire Selene again. Speaking with Variety, she was asked straight up if she'd do another UNDERWORLD film. Her response was equally straight and blunt: "I wouldn't return. I've done plenty of those."

Beckinsale played the role five times in the six-film franchise, starting with 2003's first film and ending with last year's UNDERWORLD BLOOD WARS. In fact, Beckinsale is done with blockbuster filmmaking it would seem, calling working on some of those big films the worst experiences in her life:

"I've done indie movies where I'm sitting on a piece of folded carpet and it was wonderful. I've done great big movies that were the worst misery of my life. It all depends. At university, I studied Russian and French. I never studied drama, so I always felt like from the beginning of my career that it was an apprenticeship. That freed me up to try a lot of things. It gave me a lot of latitude. I started out in the indie space. I never anticipated doing one of those heavy-weight, very physical franchise things. It was scary to see myself on movie posters on the side of every single bus."

The UNDERWORLD franchise's creator and director Len Wiseman, also Beckinsale's ex-husband, stated last year that he is currently developing a TV series spin-off.

** THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE: Three years ago came word that SpectreVision, an indie horror production company, planned to produce a film adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's famed short story THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE.

Set in the wild hills west of Arkham in Massachusetts, the story follows a narrator who pieces together the story of a 'blasted heath', an area where many years ago a meteorite crashed. As a result, the life force of anything living nearby is drained. Yet at the same time flora grows huge and strange, whilst animals are deformed and humans either go insane or die.

At the time Richard Stanley, who hadn't helmed a film since the disastrous production that was 1996's "The Island of Dr. Moreau," was slated to direct and pen the screenplay with plans to shoot in early 2016. That didn't happen and now, in an interview this week with Birth.Movies.Death, SpectreVision's co-founder Josh C. Waller says they are still moving forward with it:

"It's moving along. We announced that we were going to be doing it, what, three years ago? Let's just say that we're getting a lot closer. Significantly closer. Like, it's coming up, so I will be busy with Richard on set with that sometime in the near future." (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** ZOMBIELAND sequel: With the release of VENOM only a few weeks away, the film's director Ruben Fleischer has begun doing early press for the film and once his media commitments are finished he'll turn his attention towards the long in the works ZOMBIELAND sequel.

That film, set to arrive a decade after the original post-apocalyptic horror comedy, got the green light back in July and Fleischer has given an update to Fandango on where things are right now – barely containing his excitement that it is finally set to happen at last:

"I'm thrilled. We're already actually starting ZOMBIELAND. I've been scouting and storyboarding and getting it going, and to get to work with that cast again is just an absolute dream come true. It's been really exciting starting to think about that movie, and to get to work with Emma, Jesse, Woody and Abigail once again is truly a dream come true. Yeah, we're just at the very early stages, but we have an amazing script, and we're going to start shooting in Georgia in January."

Fleischer helms from a script from original writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese and the project is slated to open October 11th next year. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** CANDYMAN remake: GET OUT filmmaker Jordan Peele is rumored to be attached to produce a remake of iconic 1992 horror film CANDYMAN via his Monkey Productions company reports the Bloody Disgusting web site.

The rights to the franchise have reportedly become available and it's unclear who currently holds them, the films based on Clive Barker's short story "The Forbidden". Bernard Rose helmed the original in which anyone who says Candyman five times while looking into a mirror will see him appear and be killed by his rusty metal hook. Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen starred.

Two sequels followed but the franchise has been dead since 1999. At the present time, there is no word on whether or not if Peele intends to direct. He is currently filming his new original thriller US for a 2019 release. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** HALLOWEEN sequel: Reviews out of the Toronto International Film Festival for the new HALLOWEEN have been quite strong, so much so that talk of a sequel is already churning. Of course the film, a direct sequel to the 1978 original that ignores the seven other sequels, has to open first and be a success.

Additionally there's the complication that the film's producer Jason Blum has previously indicated they aren't planning the sequel. This week, whilst speaking at the festival, Blum clarified those comments saying they weren't correct and his Blumhouse production banner is open to a follow-up:

"No, I think that got a bit screwed up. I'd love to do sequels, and I hope we do a sequel and we will do a sequel if the movie performs. We're not going to decide if we do a sequel or not until we see the reaction to this movie. But I really hope to make it."

While Blumhouse has dominated the horror genre for the past few years with numerous one-off films and franchises, this represents their first attempt at rebooting a pre-existing franchise. The film's co-writer Danny McBride has also previously revealed that they have an idea for a sequel should the opportunity arise to do one. HALLOWEEN is set to open nationwide on October 19th.

** ASSASSINATION NATION: Here's the new trailer and poster for the upcoming film.

** THE WALKING DEAD: AMC has released the official synopsis and key art for the upcoming ninth season premiering on Sunday, October 7 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Last season brought the culmination of "All Out War," which pitted Rick Grimes and his group of survivors against the Saviors and their cunning leader, Negan. With Negan's life in his hands, Rick had a character-defining choice in front of him. By making the unilateral decision to spare Negan, Rick upheld the values of his late son, Carl, championed in order to build for the future, but created conflict within his group.

Now, we see our survivors a year and a half after the end of the war, rebuilding civilization under Rick's steadfast leadership. It is a time of relative peace among the communities as they work together, looking to the past to forge the future, but the world they knew is rapidly changing as man-made structures continue to degrade, and nature takes over, changing the landscape and creating new challenges for our survivors.

As time passes, the communities confront unexpected obstacles, danger, and of course, walkers, but nothing quite prepares them for the formidable force they are about to encounter, which threatens the very idea of civilization that our survivors have worked so hard to build.

** BETTER OFF ZED: For the last decade, Guy (Graham Sibley) has worked a mentally and physically demanding 60-hour week, a soul-crushing daily grind that has frayed his nerves; while his wife Paige (Christine Woods), a free spirit with multiple fine arts degrees to her name, has spent their marriage chasing creative inspiration.

When the zombie apocalypse arrives, Guy is ecstatic: no more grueling work, no more monotony, no more hopeless future. He spends his days in idyllic splendor, living life in the moment… while Paige snaps into survival mode and takes on the role of pragmatist, figuring out how to secure their perimeter and stretch out their food supply, while following news reports for any glimmer of hope that they might be able to escape. The couple—in essence—has switched places. And in this new dynamic, all of the small fissures pressured beneath the surface of their relationship finally crack open, forcing them to deal not only with Armageddon, but with a potentially far more horrifying reality… each other.

BETTER OFF ZED serves as a metaphor for the claustrophobia of modern living and modern relationships, as well as the struggle for the inner artist in all of us. It also explores the question, are you with the right partner to face the end with? The film is available through SP Releasing on iTunes, Amazon, DirectTV, GooglePlay, Sony PSN, Walmart and other outlets throughout the US.

** SUSPIRIA remake: There was applause and whistling, and there were also boos and walkouts at the press screening, and so Luca Guadagnino's SUSPIRIA premiered at the Venice Film Festival to the exact kind of reaction you'd expect a 2.5 hour brutal, gory, slow-burn arthouse horror title would get. That includes the actual premiere itself where it received an eight-minute standing ovation.

Reviews seem to be similarly split – wildly divisive with some labelling it a masterpiece, others calling it a self-serious bore. All say this new take on Dario Argento's 1977 supernatural classic is completely different to Argento's garishly excessive and neon-soaked fever dream original, and many are labelling it "this year's MOTHER!" in terms of the likely reactions. thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** DACHRA: Yassmine, a Tunisian journalism student, and her two male buddies set out on a university assignment to solve the cold case of Mongia, a woman found mutilated 25 years ago, now imprisoned in an asylum, suspected of witchcraft.

They're welcomed to stay overnight by the jovial yet menacing cult leader, but when Yassmine discovers Dachra's secrets, she must escape before she is consumed.

** SUSPIRIA remake: The recent trailer for Luca Guadagnino's upcoming remake of SUSPIRIA suggests the film will be going beyond the original movie's brief and delve into the 'Three Mothers' mythology that was spread across Dario Argento's films.

Argento's original films revolved around three powerful witches – Mater Tenebrarum (Mother of Darkness), Mater Lachrymarum (Mother of Tears) and Mater Suspiriorum (Mother of Sighs) – with each only appearing once in one of three of his films – 1977's SUSPIRIA, 1980's INFERNO and 2007's THE MOTHER OF TEARS.

The original SUSPIRIA worked effectively as a standalone, but with the new film's much roomier 152-minute runtime it begs the question as to whether there will be setups or hints for a sequel in this. Guadagnino tells Deadline that he's certainly open to the possibility:

"At the beginning we were going to title the movie SUSPIRIA: Part One but we didn't want to give the impression of something that couldn't stand alone. Truthfully, I'd be interested to explore the origin of Madame Blanc and Helena Markos and also the future of Suzy Bannion in the world. So maybe. We'll have to see how the movie goes."

He also confirms there's an after-credits sequence – one in which a "character is looking forward towards something". The question is whether the film will be profitable enough to do a sequel. Costing a quite economical $20 million, the film doesn't have to make much to be a hit – but the long runtime filled with what is reportedly some truly disturbing and unrelenting horrific imagery will probably prevent the film from being widely embraced even if the critics adore it.

Myers was later gunned down, apprehended and committed to Smith's Grove State Hospital.

For forty years, memories of that nightmarish ordeal have haunted Laurie and now Myers is back once again on Halloween, having escaped a routine transfer, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.

** SUSPIRIA remake: Italian auteur Luca Guadagnino has been a long time fan of Dario Argento's famed 1977 cult film SUSPIRIA. Now, over forty years after it hit cinemas, he has remade it and taken the cult film in a new and quite different direction to the original. Set to have its world premiere in Venice this coming weekend ahead of an October release, the new film takes place in Berlin in 1977 and tells the story of a gifted dancer (Dakota Johnson) who joins a dance school run by a coven of witches.

Speaking with THR about his aims for the remake, he says the main goal is pure unadulterated fright: "I hope that the movie comes across as a relentless experience that's going to go deep into your skin all the way down into your spine. I want the movie to perform as the most disturbing experience you can have. The movie is about being immersed in a world of turmoil and uncompromising darkness."

Guadagnino dismisses claims of actress Tilda Swinton playing the role of Dr. Jozef Klemperer in the film, saying it's very much an 82-year-old German man with no previous acting credits:

"No, no. It's Lutz Ebersdorf. There was all this talk about Tilda playing the role and it came out of nowhere and I don't know why… I always like to cast people that are not necessarily actors. If you think of CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, I asked this lady that I saw bicycling in the countryside, Vanda Capriolo, to play Mafalda, and now she plays a role in SUSPIRIA. I like to think out of the box."

He also confirms he and musician Thom Yorke started working on the soundtrack even before they started shooting, and Argento himself has seen the film. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** Blumhouse Productions update: Jason Blum took Twitter to answer fan's questions and with the upcoming HALLOWEEN reboot that Blumhouse has in the works the topic naturally shifted to what horror franchises he hopes his company can pick up. Over several tweets, the Blumhouse Productions boss revealed some interesting choices on what they're hoping for, as well as what films they passed on making, but noted that "chances are excellent" they tackle another big franchise.

Among the franchises that Blumhouse has either attempted to nab or may still try for are THE CROW, which has been in development purgatory for years, which made the list of hopeful possibilities. Blum also stressed that he's really trying for FRIDAY THE 13TH, though the rights to the franchise are currently tangled in a legal mess, making any acquisition difficult. Others he expressed interest in when prompted directly were ALIEN and SCREAM, saying 'Never say never.'

The most interesting revelations are that Blumhouse passed on a chance to remake the horror classic THE BLOB, and the company tried to acquire the rights to Stephen King's killer car story,CHRISTINE. The latter was turned into a movie by John Carpenter back in 1983. (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

"I'm pretty sure this is the first book I ever bought with my own money. It was 1988 and I was 10 years old. I'd borrowed other King novels from various friends and libraries, but this was the first one that was MINE," Slater wrote on Twitter. "In meetings I always joke that I was raised by the two Stephens—King and Spielberg—but that's not far from the truth. While other kids were playing sports or doing whatever cool kids do, I was spending the night in the Overlook, or hanging out in the sewers beneath Derry….Now, thirty years later, I'm beyond thrilled to be part of the team bringing THE TOMMYKNOCKERS to life.

** HALLOWEEN remake: Here's a teaser of the John Carpenter's soundtrack for the upcoming film.

** RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE: The Deadline web site is reporting that Jesse Williams (GREY'S ANATOMY) and Jordana Brewster (FAST AND FURIOUS) will be starring in Jay Baruchel's horror project RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE. The movie is based on the graphic novel by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray.

RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE follows the story of comic book creator Todd Walkley (Williams), along with his girlfriend, Kathy (Brewster), assistant Aurora (played by Niamh Wilson), and best friend and Hard Calibre Comics owner Ezra (Baruchel) as they go on a road trip. On their way from Toronto to New York for Comic-Con, bad things start to happen and people start getting killed in a fashion eerily similar to the kills portrayed in his Slasherman comic. It becomes clear that a very avid fan is out there following them and hurting people, and using Todd's comic as inspiration. As the bodies pile up, and Todd's friends and family become targets and victims themselves, Todd will be forced into taking responsibility for everything his ideas have wrought.

** SLENDER MAN: The teen horror film was cut back from its original R-rating to the PG-13 its theatrical cut was. Some edits were made to make sure the film's target audience of teenagers was able to see it.

As a result, the studio pulled back hard on the movie with several major scenes removed from the final cut without tidying – essentially resulting in an incomplete work.

** CASTLE ROCK Season 2: The anthology series has been given the greenlight for a second season, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The streaming service announced that the series became the most successful first-season original launch upon its premiere at the end of July.

"Each season is going to be its own self-contained story: beginning, middle and end," co-showrunner Dustin Thomason told THR. "But I think that just as the books do, we want to surprise viewers with the ways in which the stories intersect. Just as the places the characters pop up in very unexpected ways throughout the books, that's the kind of anthology that we would like to tell. One of the things about the King universe or multiverse is that some very strange things can happen when it comes to the ways that the stories unfold, and hopefully there'll be surprises along the way in terms of how the anthology works in that way. It's pretty delicious that Kathy Bates played both Dolores Claiborne and Annie Wilkes when you really think about that question in the movie adaptations. But I think that there's something for us about being faithful to the way that Steve does it in the books, that almost feels like the anthology format has already been laid out for us."

** THE NUN: Warner Bros. has released a new poster for the upcoming horror movie THE NUN, a spinoff in THE CONJURING universe. THE NUN is set for release on September 7.

** THE MEG: The film is dramatically outperforming expectations, bringing in an estimated $16.5 million on Friday, heading toward what could possibly be a $40 million debut. For a film that cost a whopping $130 million officially ($150 million unofficially), that's not good but the hope is the Chinese market will save the day in this battle of Jason Statham versus a giant prehistoric shark. The Chinese producer also supplied much of the film's funding so Warners won't be too hurt by this.

THE MEG has been in development hell for twenty years, but got picked up when Warners nabbed the rights in 2015 and hired Eli Roth onboard to direct. He then left with NATIONAL TREASURE helmer Turteltaub taking over and the joint U.S. Chinese production kicked off late 2016. The other day Turteltaub revealed that while he always wanted a 'fun' tone for the film, he had to make edits to cut it down to a PG-13 including cutting out almost all the blood from the movie including some completed digital effects shots.

In a new interview with Collider, the film's star Jason Statham revealed that the film's tone and rating had changed from what he signed up for: "Scripts totally different. There was so many different … sometimes you just go, 'How did it happen? How did it go from this to this to this to that?… I'm just saying it was radically different… Jon's interpretation of this is a fun end of summer [movie]. It's full of humor.

It's a little bit more directed to a different taste of what my own is in terms of I like more gory adult stuff. I'm a lot older but I can't speak for what this film could possibly speak to a younger audience."

When told it was still alot of fun, Statham replied: "Yeah but you go, 'Where's the f–king blood?' It's like, 'There's a shark'." The film is now out in cinema. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** THE FOG 4K restoration: John Carpenter's 1980 ghost story classic has undergone a full 4K restoration by StudioCanal and is returning to cinemas in time for Halloween this year. In the film, a tiny California coastal town prepares to commemorate its centenary when Reverend Malone (Hal Holbrook) stumbles upon a dark secret about the town's founding; radio announcer Stevie (Adrienne Barbeau) witnesses a mystical fire; and hitchhiker Elizabeth (Jamie Lee Curtis) discovers the mutilated corpse of a fisherman. A mysterious iridescent fog soon descends upon the village, and more people start to die

Made for a budget of just $1 million, the movie grossed $21 million at the box office and is very well reviewed, the same can't be said for the Tom Welling and Selma Blair-led 2005 remake which was widely panned. Eric Di Bernardo, Rialto Pictures' director of sales, spoke about the re-release saying: "THE FOG has been our most requested title for as long as we have handled the StudioCanal library here. It is Carpenter's most visually alluring film and we think it's been worth the wait."

The plan, for now, is to release the film at the Metrograph in New York, Landmark's Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles and the Music Box Theatre in Chicago starting on October 26th. Throughout Halloween week, the movie will also be screened at certain speciality theaters such as the Alamo Drafthouse. A 4K home video release isn't yet announced but will likely follow in coming months. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** THE MEG: This week sees the release of Jon Turteltaub's giant prehistoric shark film which includes plenty of scenes of the huge beast chomping down on innocent swimmers off the Chinese coast. Speaking with the Bloody Disgusting web site, Turteltaub confirmed the film originally had too many R-rated gory scenes that had to be cut in order to keep the rating at PG-13. Not only were some of the scenes already filmed, but the digital effects were even complete for a number of them, only to be cut at the last minute:

"My wife is glad about it and I'm glad my kids can see the movie, but the number of really horrifying, disgusting and bloody deaths we had lined up that we didn't get to do is tragic… We shot or even did a lot of visual effects for (gory scenes)… We just realized there's no way we're keeping this PG-13 if we show this. It's too fun a movie to not let people who don't like blood and people who are under, say, fourteen years old into the theater. I was very hesitant to cut out a lot of blood and gore. I wouldn't have if I thought it was wrecking the story but it wasn't."

The film is being sold and lauded for its sense of fun far more than as a serious shark attack film, and Turteltaub says he was striving to keep that intact while editing the film. He also confirms there will be no director's or unrated cut for the home video release. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** Blue Underground update: Here's the covers of their upcoming releases.

----- August 6, 2018 -----

** THE GRUDGE reboot: The upcoming reboot of the supernatural horror franchise THE GRUDGE has hit a snag. Taka lchise, producer of the original JU-ON franchise which inspired the 2004 U.S. remake and its sequels, has filed a breach of contract lawsuit. Production company Good Universe acquired the rights to the film and planned to develop it on the condition Ichise be given a producer credit and paid an agreed upon fee. The suit claims that despite the contract, Good Universe has not given Ichise a producer credit.

The lawsuit comes as production on the remake, simply titled GRUDGE, is underway and already well into filming. Nicolas Pesce helms the film which stars Andrea Riseborough, Demian Bichir, John Cho, Lin Shaye, Jacki Weaver, Betty Gilpin, William Sadler, and Frankie Faison. The original dealt with a murder/suicide in a house in Japan, and the ghostly hauntings that followed. The remake, which again is being produced by Sam Raimi, is shifting to American suburbia. The new version opens August 16th 2019. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** Netflix's APOSTLE: London, 1905. Prodigal son Thomas Richardson (Dan Stevens) has returned home, only to learn that his sister is being held for ransom by a religious cult. Determined to get her back at any cost, Thomas travels to the idyllic island where the cult lives under the leadership of the charismatic Prophet Malcolm (Michael Sheen). As Thomas infiltrates the island's community, he learns that the corruption of mainland society that they claim to reject has infested the cult's ranks nonetheless – and uncovers a secret far more evil than he could have imagined. The film will premiere globally on Netflix on October 12, 2018.

** THE MEG: Here's another new poster for the upcoming film, which debuts in theaters on August 10.

----- August 1st, 2018 -----

** SUSPIRIA remake: It was announced on Twitter that the film will run 152 minutes long, exactly one hour longer than the original film's 92-minute runtime. SUSPIRIA debut in theaters on November 2.

** A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: Robert Englund who played villain Freddy Krueger has stated many times that he has no interest in reprising the character again, but appearing at a Summer Television Critics Association panel this week to promote Eli Roth's new "History of Horror" docu-series for AMC, Englund was asked how he would approach an 'Elm Street' reboot to which he said:

"If I had an Eli Roth budget I would have cast different actors to play Freddy for every potential victim, because Freddy is only alive in the imagination of his future victim. They would talk about it at a slumber party or in a locker room at school, or on the bus going home.

All we know about this Fred Krueger is he wears a hat, wears a red and green striped sweater and has a clawed hand. That's the specifics. At the end, it would be the ultimate victim and we see Freddy peel [his face] open and maybe it's yours truly revealed. And it's the essence of Freddy.

I don't think Freddy is an '80s villain. There's a huge nostalgia for the eighties for a variety of reasons, but so many horror films and characters transcend that decade." (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)
