‘Never Hike Alone 2’: Womp Stomp Films Planning a Feature Length Sequel to the ‘Friday the 13th’ Fan Film

Womp Stomp Films and director Vincente DiSanti made Friday the 13th fans very happy back in 2017 with the fan film Never Hike Alone, a 50-minute short that took us back to Camp Crystal Lake for more murder and mayhem at the hands of Jason Voorhees. More recently, a prequel titled Never Hike in the Snow was released. What’s next from the team, you ask?

Announced by Womp Stomp Films today, the ambitious plan for the near future is to make a *feature length* sequel to Never Hike Alone, tentatively titled Never Hike Alone 2!

“After losing a year due to COVID, and receiving honest feedback about the mini-series idea, we have decided that we will attempt to crowdfund our next installment as a FULL FEATURE FILM instead of separate episodes,” the team explains. “Doing this will require us to run 3 SEPARATE CAMPAIGNS over the course of the next year to raise the required funding.”

First up, the Never Hike Alone “Ghost Cut” will get its own home video campaign in October 2021, with the Never Hike Alone 2 campaign expected to launch in March of 2022.

“Trust us when we say, you are not going to want to miss this one,” Womp Stomp teases.

You can check out the full statement below. Expect more soon.

‘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.
