Pop Skull Star Extras in ‘H2’, Talks About Experience
Pop Skull co-writer, producer and actor Lane Hughes writes in with something you Halloween fans might be interested in. Hughes, who was up for a role in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, ended up being an extra at the Phantom Jam in Haddonfield, a big party sequel in zombie’s sequel. Below you’ll find a video where he’s interviewed about his experiences, which can give you some insight into the forthcoming release arriving in theaters August 28th.
Lane Hughes writes in:
“I almost had an audition for H2 but was f*cked out of it last minute due to politics but was determined to get on set because I’m such a huge fan of the series and Rob’s music; even if it just meant being an extra.
While there I befriended two other young horror filmmakers from my own hometown I’d never met before! They have two films going to festivals soon and a vlog called “Nothing Special”. They interviewed me on the third installment which is a H2 set report. It’s a great story in true Gonzo journalism fashion.
We talk about how we got involved with H2, how we met, Pop Skull, and what we saw/experienced on the set. It’s a bit lengthy but very fun, entertaining, and informative. It’d be a great companion piece as well as an alternative angle to all the behind-the-scenes stuff Scout and other cast members are posting.”

POP SKULL hits DVD on July 288th through Halo-8.
It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
