Update: Margot Kidder Joins ‘H2’, New Title?
Update: Zombie edited his blog removing the new title, so we’ll keep you posted as the new title is officially revealed. Well known nutter and one of my favorite actresses from the 70’s, Margot Kidder (The Amityville Horror, Sisters, Superman, Black Christmas), has joined the cast of Rob Zombie’s Halloween sequel, which apparently has been given a new name. “Margot Kidder has joined Halloween – The Devil Walks Among Us as Laurie Strode’s therapist Barbara Collier,” writes Zombie on his official blog. I wasn’t a big fan of the moniker H2 and think Halloween: The Devil Walks Among Us is a pretty solid new title. Shooting is now underway in Georgia as Dimension has the film slated for release on August 28.
The past comes back to haunt in the first teaser for The Cycle, the latest from director Jordan Downey ( The Head Hunter, V/H/S/Beyond).
Deborah Ann Woll (“Daredevil: Born Again“, Escape Room) stars as woman shocked to discover that a recent body discovered at a crime scene turns out to be her estranged father. It unleashes a supernatural nightmare.
The Cycle will debut exclusively on Shudder on October 23, 2026.
The logline reads, “When the body of a man missing for thirty-six years is discovered at the scene of a horrific crime, it’s up to his estranged daughter to unravel his dark past.“
Jeffrey Donovan (“Burn Notice“, Villains) also stars.
Jordan Downey wrote the screenplay with Kevin Stewart (The Head Hunter).
“We are so excited about The Cycle; Jordan has crafted such an original story that is gonna excite audiences. For us he has the ability to be the next great genre filmmaker and we can’t wait to make the movie,” said James Harris of production company Tea Shop (Obsession, 47 Meters Down). Peter Heller also produces.
Deborah Ann Woll rose to fame as the feisty vampire Jessica Hamby in HBO’s “True Blood” before becoming a fan favorite as Karen Page in Marvel’s “Daredevil” series. While horror fans recognize her from Escape Room and its sequel, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, the versatile actress has captured gamers’ attention as Laufey, Kratos’ wife in God of War: Ragnarök. She’ll receive her solo spinoff game in the upcoming God of War: Laufey.
Check out the unsettling new teaser below and expect to learn more as we get closer to the Halloween season.
