Stocking Stuffer: A ‘Human Centipede’ Christmas
Tom Six’s The Human Centipede has made quite an impact on pop culture this year, ranging from fan made video games to porno. With the holidays squishing right in our face tomorrow night, images of a fan made “Human Centipede Ornament” have flushed their way online, along with a holiday greeting card from director Tom Six that features Santa Claus and his not-so-merry Christmas sniff, err I mean gift.
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.
