‘Birdemic’ Sells Out Los Angeles; Don’t Miss Austin Screening on Tuesday!
The best-worst movie ever made? While my friends and myself have been passing around a scratched DVD copy of James Nguyen’s Birdemic: Shock and Terror for months now, last night our dreams came true as Bloody Disgusting hosted the red carpet premiere of the film to a sold out Los Angeles crowd (check out some quick pics and vids below, with a bigger report forthcoming). Tim & Eric hosted, birds fell from the mother effin’ ceiling and the buzz after the screening ranged from “I’m speechless” to “That WAS the best time I have ever had in a theater!” Am I over hyping it? F*ck no. Do you have to see it with a massive group of people to get the full enjoyment out of it? Yes. With an encore screening locked for here in LA on March 5th (info here), those of you in Austin, Texas will have the opportunity to be among the first to witness this “Romantic Thriller” (trademarked, LOL) with an actual audience (Tuesday, March 2, 2010 @Alamo Drafthouse). Our suspicions where dead on. Birdemic works, and it works unbelievably. Move over The Room, cause the eagles and vultures are attacking! Get all of the info and find links to tix on the Austin Facebook event page. We’d love to see yet another sold out crowd and hear back from some BD readers.

Warner Bros. has already dated prequel film The Conjuring: First Communion for a September 10, 2027 release, and now the upcoming movie’s two stars have been found.
Deadline reports that Garrett Wareing (Ransom Canyon) and Amanda Fix (Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma) will play the young versions of Ed and Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring: First Communion. The scoop was first reported by Dread Central.
Plot details remain under wraps at this time, but the upcoming prequel movie comes from director Rodrigue Huart, from a script by Richard Naing & Ian Goldberg.
It’s not certain if Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga will be appearing at all, though it seems the film will at least primarily focus on the young versions of their characters.
There are currently nine films in The Conjuring universe — The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle: Creation, The Nun, Annabelle Comes Home, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, The Nun 2, and last year’s The Conjuring: Last Rites. Matt Donato recently ranked every single movie in the hit saga, and you can read that ranking article right here.
A Conjuring Universe television series is allegedly also in the works.
Franchise producer Peter Safran previously said of The Conjuring Universe, “There’s so much more to it that we haven’t dug into. So the truth is, I think there are really exciting ways to go with both film and television, frankly. It would be incredibly satisfying. People have been on this journey with us for a dozen years now. I think they want more.”
