“Wolf Creek” Kill of the Week: A Look at Things to Come!
Every Monday for the next six weeks (10/17 – 11/21) Bloody Disgusting will bring you an exclusive “Wolf Creek” Kill of the Week – a look at our favorite brutal kill from the latest episode of the brand new “Wolf Creek” mini-series. Wolf Creek airs Fridays at 10:00 PM ET/PT exclusively on Pop.
We’re now two episodes into Pop’s “Wolf Creek” and this is our second Kill of the Week and it’s a bit of a cheat. This week we don’t actually have a kill because if you watched this past Friday’s episode you may have noticed there wasn’t a kill – at least not on screen, there may have been a kill or two that happened when we weren’t looking. In place of this week’s kill we have quick little compilation of a look at things to come throughout the rest of the season. So yes, technically there is no kill in this clip, but there is still some awesome gore that we’ve come to love and expect from this brutal series. Plus if you’re enjoying the show as much as I am you’ll take anything “Wolf Creek” related that you can get.
“The story of Wolf Creek begins when an American family is on holiday in Northern Australia and becomes the unsuspecting prey of Mick Taylor, a sadistic serial killer who hunts and kills tourists in the Outback. The sole survivor is Eve Thorogood, a college student, who vows to bring the killer to justice or die in the attempt. Wolf Creek reveals her complex and extraordinary journey, traveling every step of the way as she evolves from child to adult, from prey to predator. But can she triumph over Mick Taylor, evil incarnate?”

‘The Haunting of Pennhurst’ Exclusive Clip Trains Scare Actors For Historic Haunt in Tribeca Doc
The past and present collide in haunting, poignant ways in the genre documentary The Haunting of Pennhurst, which sees a Halloween haunt serve as a reclamation of true historic horrors.
Ahead of its world premiere at the 25th Tribeca Film Festival, we have an exclusive clip that sees scare actors in training for the Halloween season. The catch? This haunt is opening at the historic Pennhurst State School & Hospital site, a facility that caused immense harm to its disabled patients over decades of its operation.
In the documentary, “For over seventy years, Pennhurst State School & Hospital was called a place of care. What happened inside killed over half its population. It closed in 1987, leaving behind unmarked graves and an unresolved history. Today, on those same grounds, disabled performers – many living with the same conditions that once sent people to Pennhurst – put on their makeup, pull on their costumes, and prepare to scare people for a living.
“Through grit, compassion, and buckets of blood, the eclectic performers of the Pennhurst Asylum haunted attraction are wrestling with a space that is at once a lucrative business and a gravesite.”
The upcoming documentary hails from directing trio Nathan Stenberg, Mike Attie, and Katarina Poljak, who explore their socially-relevant subject through archival footage, first-hand accounts, and an immersive verité.
“Pennhurst has haunted us since we first passed through its dragon-tooth gates; the horrors of the institution echo through the site today. We are so grateful to bring this film to the Tribeca Festival, particularly the Escape from Tribeca section, which feels right for a story where past and present bleed together. We hope audiences leave unnerved and asking the same uncomfortable questions we did,” Attie, Stenberg, and Poljak said in a statement.
Watch the clip below that sees disabled and neurodivergent scare actors learning the ropes of a Halloween haunt, reclaiming the site’s grim history in the process.
