Gorgeous ‘The Town That Dreaded Sundown’ Quad Art

Published

While already out here in the States, the UK won’t see the awesome The Town That Dreaded Sundown (review) until it hits theaters on April 17th, 2015.

The new horror collaboration from the producers of “American Horror Story” and Paranormal Activity stars Veronica Cartwright, Gary Cole, Denis O’Hare and the late Edward Herrmann, and is directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon.

The UK distributor Metrodome has commissioned an exclusive piece of artwork to produce a limited edition print, by horror poster designer Graham Humphreys to celebrate the film’s release.

Humphreys’ has been a freelance illustrator and poster designer who has been working within the horror industry for more than thirty years, perhaps best remembered for his iconic artwork for the original UK releases of The Evil Dead and A Nightmare On Elm Street, as well as his original artwork for the annual FrightFest horror festival.

Halloween this year will see the publication of a book of Graham’s horror art, entitled ‘Graham Humphreys: Drawing Blood’. The launch will be supported by an exhibition at The Proud Gallery, London.

Graham’s approach to The Town That Dreaded Sundown plays on the film’s retro vibes with nods to both the 70’s cult classic of the same name and the 40’s true life crime spree on which the story took inspiration from.

‘The Strangers: Chapter 1’ Rated “R” for “Horror Violence” and “Language”

Published

on

We are now less than one month away from the release of Lionsgate’s The Strangers: Chapter 1, the first film in a brand new reboot trilogy from director Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master, Deep Blue Sea). It’s coming to theaters May 17, 2024.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 has officially been rated “R” this week for…

“Horror violence, language and brief drug use.”

For the sake of comparison, Bryan Bertino’s original home invasion film was rated “R” for “violence/terror,” while Prey at Night was rated “R” for “horror violence and terror throughout.”

Madelaine Petsch (“Riverdale”), Froy Gutierrez (Hocus Pocus 2), Rachel Shenton (The Silent Child), Ema Horvath (“Rings of Power”) and Gabe Basso (Hillbilly Elegy) star.

Based on the original 2008 cult horror franchise, the project features Petsch, who drives cross-country with her longtime boyfriend (Gutierrez) to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they’re forced to spend the night in a secluded Airbnb, where they are terrorized from dusk till dawn by three masked strangers.

Here’s the full official synopsis: “After their car breaks down in an eerie small town, a young couple are forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorized by three masked strangers who strike with no mercy and seemingly no motive.”

Renny Harlin (CliffhangerDeep Blue SeaDie Hard 2) is directing from a script by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland (The Freak BrothersDue Date). Lionsgate will distribute worldwide.

The Strangers began in 2008 with Bryan Bertino’s original home invasion horror movie, a terrifying film that introduced three masked killers who returned 10 years later with The Strangers: Prey at Night in 2018. The first film took place in a remote house in the woods while the sequel brought the murderous Man in the Mask, Dollface and Pinup Girl into a trailer park.
