Oderus Urungus And Dee Snider Join Adam Green’s “Holliston”
Earlier this month Adam Green (director of Hatchet, Hatchet 2 and Frozen) and Joe Lynch (director of Wrong Turn 2 and the eagerly awaited Knights Of Badassdom) announced “Holliston”, their new six-episode series for FEARnet.
Today we learn that 80’s hair metal vet Dee Snider and GWAR frontman Oderus Urungus will be joining the cast. While I’m excited for Knights Of Badassdom and quite liked Frozen, I’m still not sure what to make of this series and this news doesn’t really do much to add to my excitement. It just seems kind of like the continued extension of the Green/Lynch brand (something these two are very savvy about), and it feels like we’re putting the cart before the horse a bit. While I’m all for them getting the notoriety they deserve, I just wish they’d keep making movies. Their films seem to be getting successively better (save for Hatchet 2 – which still had its moments) and that’s the arc of their careers that I’m more interested in following.
Maybe I’m wrong, who knows? FEARnet has the whole skinny.
Holliston is “Described as The Big Bang Theory meets Evil Dead II, the show is set in the town of Holliston, Mass., and follows the lives of Adam (Green) and Joe (Lynch), two friends chasing the dream of becoming successful horror movie filmmakers while struggling to make ends meet in their post-college jobs at a Boston cable access station where they also host a late-night movie program called The Movie Crypt. Urungus will play himself and is Adam’s “imaginary” friend who happens to live in a closet and gives him advice that is extremely misguided and offensive. The six-episode series is slated to begin production in September.”

‘Onslaught’ – First Look at Unrecognizable Dan Stevens as a Mad Scientist in Adam Wingard’s A24 Movie
The brand new official trailer for director Adam Wingard’s new A24 movie Onslaught arrived this morning, with the upcoming film set in the same world as Wingard’s The Guest.
Onslaught is set in the very same town as The Guest, with both films centering on the very same secret program. “So you could actually technically call this a sequel,” Wingard teases.
But will Dan Stevens make an appearance in Onslaught? Yes, actually. The star of The Guest is reteaming with Wingard for Onslaught, but he will NOT be playing the same character.
Instead, Dan Stevens is playing a mad German scientist in Onslaught, presumably the man responsible for creating the film’s “perfect soldiers” gone wrong. Stevens is actually glimpsed in today’s trailer, but he’s completely unrecognizable and buried under heavy prosthetics.
Dan Stevens played David Collins in The Guest, you may recall, a military test subject who becomes an unstoppable super soldier. He’s clearly not playing the same character in Onslaught, but the role of “German Scientist” looks to be a fun wink to his role in The Guest.
Watch the new trailer below for a sneak peek at Dan Stevens as German Scientist!
Adam Wingard’s Onslaught releases in theaters September 4, 2026.
The duo behind The Guest, director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett, are re-teaming for the upcoming Onslaught, which stars Adria Arjona in the leading role.
Here’s the synopsis: “When a rogue squad of genetically engineered super soldiers break loose in the desert, a badass Army sniper must unleash hell to protect her young daughter.”
