Poll: The Hard Decision, Seven Straight Weeks Of Horror — Pick Only ONE

Published

on

Typically the horror genre avoids the summer months, but leading into fall, studios begin to unload their darker fare. Usually known as “dump months”, genre films have stolen that identity and given late August/early September strength in numbers — we still see movies when school starts (most of us need something to forget about the looming year of homework and bus rides).

This year is one of the strongest when it comes to “dump month” as there are literally several straight weeks where we’ll be getting a brand spanking new genre film – one week even has two!

Looking through our coming soon database, I started to ponder which I was personally most excited for and thought I’d take it a step further and propose a challenge to you: Of the following films, if you could ONLY SEE ONE, which would you choose? Vote inside. Starting August 5 we’ll see Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Final Destination 5, Fright Night 3D, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, Shark Night 3D, Apollo 18, Contagion and Straw Dogs, respectively. It all comes to an end on September 16. That’s nearly two straight months of horror (fear boner!)

Explain your pick below.

7 Straight Weeks of Summer Horror:

Starting on August 5, horror fans will be treated to 7 straight weeks of genre. The question is: if you could only see ONE of the following films, which would you choose?
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (August 5)
Final Destination 5 (August 19)
Fright Night (August19)
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (August 26)
Shark Night 3D (September 2)
Apollo 18 (September 2)
Contagion (September 9)
Straw Dogs (September 16)

Pictured: Matilda Lutz in 'Revenge'

Spider horror movies seem to be all the rage, with Infested streaming on Shudder and Sting now available on Digital at home. And there’s another one on the way, with Deadline reporting that Matilda Lutz (Revenge) will star in an upcoming spider movie titled Arachnid.

The project is the first from the new genre label Badlands, a partnership between Thunder Road (John Wick) and Screen Gems executive Scott Strauss that Deadline first reported on.

Jayson Rothwell (Underworld: Blood Wars) wrote Arachnid, with Ángel Gómez (Voces) directing. Deadline notes, “the spider thriller is due to begin filming this July in Madrid.”

“I am lucky to be in business with Thunder Road and Renegade,” Strauss said in a statement shared by Deadline. “Badlands will be an extension of both companies’ entrepreneurial spirit and is moving quickly to acquire and produce a fresh slate of horror IP.”

“Thunder Road has been looking to expand into the horror space and we are thrilled to partner with someone as smart, creative, and hardworking as Scott,” said Thunder Road Partner and President of Production Erica Lee. “His experience and track record speak for themselves and our team is dedicated to making Badlands a success.”
