7 Stories You May Have Missed In This Crazy Week For Horror!

Published

on

Holy sh*t does AFM make for an insane news week here at BD. Not only is this a busy time of year in general, but you’re adding into the mix an event in which hundreds of new horror titles – some big, some small, some that will never get made – are announced.

If you’re truly into all of the minutiae, feel free to enter AFM ’13 in the above search bar. But if you don’t have time, I figured I’d collect some stories you may have missed (stuff that might have been pushed off the page in a matter of hours) during this high volume week. A lot of it is AFM, but there’s also some other stuff that may have flow by you as well.

Head below to check it out.

‘Human Centipede 3’ Got A Poster And Full Cast

Tom Six’s upcoming sequel added some new art (which doesn’t reflect the film’s 500 person prison ‘pede) and added a few names to the cast.

Check it out here.

James Wan’s Next Horror Film


Even though Wan is taking a break from directing horror with Fast 7, he still found time to produce Demonic. This is a Dimension film and looks like it might be bringing us a modern take on the studio’s 90’s aesthetic.

Vin Diesel Is Making Horror Film With The Director Of ‘The Crazies’

It’s called The Last Witch Hunter and it has the epic scope we all know Diesel loves after spending so much time getting Riddick into production.

More about it here.

‘When Animals Dream’ Looks Awesome!


Will this movie do for werewolves what Let The Right One In did for vampires? Let’s hope so. “It’s a coming-of-age horror film set in a secluded fishing village of Denmark about a young girl falling in love and discovering she is a werewolf through her mother at the same time as she gets hunted down by the villagers.

‘RoboCop’ Put Out A New Trailer


On any other day this would have been huge news, but it just flew right by yesterday. It looks a tad better than the first trailer, but still lacks the violence and satire I loved in the original. Still, it looks like it may have a chance at being a good film in its own right.

Here it is again. The original RoboCop was “of interest” to horror fans because of how hugely gory it was. Let’s see if this keeps the torch alive somehow.

The Best Version Of ‘Oldboy’ Might Not Be Hitting Theaters


Spike Lee’s director’s cut of Oldboy was about 3 hours long, but the version hitting theaters is 104 minutes. If you ask Brolin about the new cut he says, “I do have opinions, but it’s better to bite my tongue.” He does like the “quieter” long version though.

‘Army Of Darkness 2’ Had A Billion Updates


Everything is sorted out and (hopefully) clarified here.

‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ Adds “Chucky” Actor Teo Briones and More to Lead Cast

Pictured: Teo Briones in "Chucky" Season Two

The Final Destination franchise is returning to life with Final Destination: Bloodlines. With filming now underway, THR reports that three actors have joined the lead cast, including “Chucky” actor Teo Briones.

Brec Bassinger (“Stargirl”) and Kaitlyn Santa Juana (The Friendship Game) join Teo Briones, who played Junior Wheeler in season two of “Chucky,” as the leads in the sixth installment of the horror franchise.

Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein (Freaks) are directing the fresh installment that also includes Richard Harmon (“The 100”, Grave Encounters 2), Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones (The Book Of Boba Fett), Rya Kihlstedt (Obi Wan Kenobi), and Tinpo Lee (The Manor) among the cast.

Production is now underway in Vancouver.

What can we expect from the upcoming Final Destination 6? Speaking with Collider, franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick offered up an intriguing (and mysterious) tease last year.

“This film dives into the film in such a unique way that it attacks it from a different angle so you don’t feel like, ‘Oh, there’s an amazing setup and then there’s gonna be one wrinkle that can potentially save you all that you have to kind of make a moral choice about or do to solve it.’ There’s an expansion of the universe that – I’m being so careful,” Reddick teased.

Reddick continued, “It kind of unearths a whole deep layer to the story that kind of, yes, makes it really, really interesting.”

Final Destination: Bloodlines is written by Lori Evans Taylor (“Wicked Wicked Games”) and Guy Busick (Scream), with Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) producing.

Producers on the new movie for New Line Cinema also include Dianne McGunigle (Cop Car) as well as Final Destination producers Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor.

This will be the sixth installment in the hit franchise, and the first in over ten years. Each film centers on “Death” hunting down young friends who survive a mass casualty event.

The latest entry is expected in 2025, coinciding with the original film’s 25th anniversary.
