’30 Days of Night’ Sequel Heads to Dark Days
When we first announced exclusively on B-D back in May of 2008 that a sequel to 30 Days of Night was in development, we got an egg in our face and everyone was quick to slam us. Today, in an interview with MTV, Steve Niles explains that not only is a sequel in development, but the script is mother-f*ckin’-written! Read on for the skinny and get ready for more ice-cold vampire violence (possibly) coming to theaters!
“There will be a sequel,” Niles told MTV News. “The script is in. I’ve been working on it with a buddy of mine, Ben Ketai, who directed the last round of the online webisodes.”
“The script is based on `Dark Days,’” explained Niles.
In “Dark Days,” the character of Stella Olemaun heads to Los Angeles after surviving the vampire attack in Barrow, Alaska. She intentionally attracts the attention of the local vampire population in order to avenge the death of her husband, Eben, during the Barrow incident.
While the film made an impressive $70m at the box office, typically that doesn’t mean theatrical sequel. Niles explains that Sam Raimi is giving him some hope.
“We didn’t hit that magic $100 million, but I had a long talk with Sam,” explained Niles. “He called me and just said, `Don’t be too quick to judge this direct-to-DVD market, especially with the sci-fi market.’”
Look for more info when it comes in.
The critically acclaimed horror movie Late Night With the Devil was released into theaters nationwide last month, and after scaring up over $10 million, it’s now available at home!
How and where can you watch Late Night with the Devil at home, you ask?
The easiest – and cheapest – way to watch Late Night with the Devil at home is to stream the film on Shudder, which is currently its exclusive streaming home. That will of course require a subscription to Shudder; if you don’t already have one of those – and you should! – you can sign up today and get the first seven days for free, with plans starting at $5.99 per month.
But Shudder isn’t the only place you can watch the film, even if it’s the only streaming service it’s available on. You can also digitally purchase Late Night with the Devil on platforms such as Prime Video and Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu), where it’ll cost you $14.99.

David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence. The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign).
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It’s a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem.”
Late Night with the Devil was also praised by both Stephen King and Kevin Smith, with King tweeting: “Late Night with the Devil. It’s absolutely brilliant. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Your results may vary, as they say, but I urge you to watch it when you can.”
