‘Never Sleep Again’ Website Launched, New Horror’s Hallowed Grounds!
The official website has now been launched for Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy, the forthcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street documentary. The site features an array of goodies ranging from behind-the-scenes goodies to inside info. In addition, Bloody Disgusting is proud to reveal that Sean Clark is off to film a new episode of “Horror’s Hallowed Grounds”, which will be featured on the forthcoming DVD release! Details below.
Production started Monday on a brand new episode of “Horror’s Hallowed Grounds” covering the film A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). It has been almost 2 years since Sean Clark and crew have filmed a video version of the popular horror locations articles. Sean explains why it has been so long.
“Quite honestly I had all but given up on doing any more episodes and just sticking to doing the written articles in HorrorHound Magazine and Bloody-Disgusting. I got really busy making my film ‘The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond’ and it took my focus away from trying to get HHG picked up as a series. I get e-mails constantly from horror fans asking me why none of these so-called horror channels have jumped on making this a series and I don’t understand it either. When you read any of the reviews for the Halloween 25 Years of Terror DVD they all point out the HHG episode as a favorite part of the package.”
So why make a new episode now?
“Well Andrew Kasch and Buz Wallick are my partners in the video version of HHG. It just so happens that they are part of the Nightmare on Elm Street documentary Never Sleep Again and brought the idea to Dan Farrands and Thommy Hutson who all agreed it would be a great addition to the DVD package. So Dan contacted me and asked me if I wanted to do it and of course my answer was yes.”
So what do the fans have to look forward to this time around?
“This is going to be our best episode yet. We have a little more time than before to get things right and we have access to quite a few cast members that will be appearing in the episode too. Monday we filmed the interior of the high school and Leslie Hoffman aka the hall monitor came by and reprised her role. It’s going to be a lot of fun and informative. The hard core Elm Street fans will love it.”

‘The Exorcism’ Trailer – Russell Crowe Gets Possessed in Meta Horror Movie from Producer Kevin Williamson
Russell Crowe (The Pope’s Exorcist) is starring in a brand new meta possession horror movie titled The Exorcism, and Vertical has unleashed the official trailer this afternoon.
Vertical has picked up the North American rights to The Exorcism, which they’ll be bringing to theaters on June 7. Shudder is also on board to bring the film home later this year.
Joshua John Miller, who wrote 2015’s The Final Girls and also starred in films including Near Dark and And You Thought Your Parents Were Weird, directed The Exorcism.
Joshua John Miller also wrote the script with M.A. Fortin (The Final Girls). This one is personal for Miller, as his late father was the star of the best possession movie ever made.
Miller said in a statement this week, “The origins of the film stem from my childhood spent watching my father, Jason Miller, playing the doomed Father Karras flinging himself out a window at the climax of The Exorcist. If that wasn’t haunting enough on its own, my dad never shied away from telling me stories of just how “cursed” the movie was: the mysterious fires that plagued the production, the strange deaths, the lifelong injuries— the list went on and on. The lore of any “cursed film” has captivated me ever since.”
“With The Exorcism, we wanted to update the possession movie formula (“Heroic man rescues woman from forces she’s too weak and simple to battle herself!”) for a world where no one group owns goodness and decency over another,” he adds. “We were gifted with an extraordinary cast and creative team to tell a story about how we’re all vulnerable to darkness, to perpetuating it, if we fail to face our demons. The devil may retaliate, but what other choice do we have?”
The film had previously been announced under the title The Georgetown Project.
“The Exorcism follows Anthony Miller (Crowe), a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter (Ryan Simpkins) wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play.”
Sam Worthington (Avatar: The Way of Water), Chloe Bailey (Praise This), Adam Goldberg (The Equalizer) and David Hyde Pierce (Frasier) also star.
Of particular note, Kevin Williamson (Scream, Sick) produced The Exorcism.
