Live ‘Saw’ Haunted Attraction in Brea, California
I hate putting a lot of emphasis on small festivals and attractions because most of you guys can’t make it, but some of this stuff is just so damn cool. LiveSaw announced today a live attraction for the SAW franchise, which opens September 26th at the Brea Plaza Center (453 S. Associated Rd., Brea, CA 92821) and runs through November 2nd. You can read more about the attraction inside, or click the link above for a trailer and ticket purchasing links. Don’t forget to check out this clip from SAW V, which hits theaters October 24th.
Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, Predator: Badlands) will direct horror comedy Freddy the 13th for Paramount Animation, and the film now has a release date.
Paramount will release Freddy the 13th in theaters on October 13, 2028.
And yes, that’s a Friday the 13th!
The animated feature will adapt the indie comic from Yehudi Mercado.
Freddy the 13th essentially imagines a world where Uncle Buck becomes Jason Voorhees.
Deadline details the upcoming animated film as follows: “A family vacation turns into a nightmare when fun Uncle Freddy accidentally kills the Boogeyman and takes on his powers.”
The official synopsis for the comic book from creator Yehudi Mercado further details, “Uncle Buck becomes the Boogey Man. When a horror-obsessed, unlucky schlub accidentally kills the legendary slasher Nighty Night, he inherits the mantle of the monster—right as he’s stuck babysitting his niece and nephew for thirteen nights of terror. Now, as rival killers crawl out of the shadows to seize the throne, Freddy must drive cross-country to break the curse, protect his family… and prove he’s finally good at something, even if it’s being evil.”
Dan Trachtenberg writes on Instagram, “I’ve spent most of my career making movies that parents probably shouldn’t show their kids. I’m finally making one…they…can…?”
Stay tuned for more on Dan Trachtenberg’s Freddy the 13th as we learn it.
