There Is No ‘Scream 5’ Update, Sorry.

Published

Scream 4 (Scream IV, Scre4m)

Update (May 6th, 2015): I have confirmed, unfortunately, that there is NO movement on a fifth Scream also of this writing.

A few hours ago I was sent an article with an “update” about Scream 5.

The update was a story that referenced old articles about the sequel, without links, and treated them as fresh news/sources. With two seconds of effort, I found the old editorials and learned they’re from last summer. Old news to say the least.

I hoped it would blow over, but sites are now picking up the story as if there’s “movement” of a fifth Scream.

There isn’t, at least according to my source inside of Dimension. With MTV’s “Scream” series set to premiere this summer, who knows what that could do to reinvigorate the franchise that nearly ended with a feud between franchise director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson (they kissed and made up right after). Williamson has said he has the fifth planned with a sixth already in his mind…

With that said, the 2011 Scream 4 underperformed, not even topping $40M (the production budget) here in the States. It did, however, make close to $100M worldwide. Harvey Weinstein said in 2013 that he personally would love to “end the franchise” with a fifth and final film. So, it is only a matter of time.

Let’s at least use this wasted post for a value discussion: what do you want from the fifth film, if it were to ever come into fruition?

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:

Aliens (2021): Beam into this unidentified streaming documentary for a glimpse into Extraterrestrial life. Aliens are hypothetical life forms that may occur outside Earth or that did not originate on Earth.

Aliens Uncovered: Origins (2021): Before Area 51, hidden deep in the desert, the military discovered a hidden gem that helped them create Project Bluebook.

Aliens Uncovered: ET or Man-Made (2022): The crash of Roswell wasn’t meant for New Mexico. In 1947, a neighboring state had 3 major sightings that were swept under the rug.

Aliens Uncovered: The Golden Record (2023): In the late 70s, the US government launched a message to our distant neighbors.

Roswell (2021): This high-flying documentary examines the July 1947 crash of a United States Army Air Forces balloon at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Theories claim the crash was actually that of a flying saucer, but what is the truth?
