Popcorn Frights is roaring back with a vengeance for its eighth edition and yesterday the South Florida-based festival unveiled its first wave of films, which included the World Premiere of John Isberg‘s throwback slasher Final Summer.
In the film…
“It is late summer 1991 and the final day of summer camp at Camp Silverlake when tragedy strikes. That evening, as the counselors attempt to shut down the camp for the season, someone is waiting in the darkness to seek revenge on the unsuspecting camp. Who is the masked killer? Is it the camp urban legend? Or is it something more sinister? Not everything is what it seems at Camp Silverlake.”
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look at the first stills, revealing the Jason Voorhees-esque slasher who also appears on the awesome poster created by the great Creepy Duck Design.
John Isberg said in a statement: “I’m very excited to premiere Final Summer at Popcorn Frights Film Festival! The festival team have been really supportive and great to work with. After all the insanity of making an indie film during covid, all the battles and ups and downs, to be able to share it with such great people, awesome filmmakers and a solid community of horror fans is really special! I’m very grateful to the staff and honored to be included in the festival. It’s been a dream years in the making and I can’t wait to come down and celebrate with everyone, thank you!”
Final Summer‘s World Premiere is set for Saturday, August 13, 11 pm at Savor Cinema Fort Lauderdale. Tickets and festival badges are here.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
