[Rock and Shock ’13] Bloody Disgusting Recap and Photos
Brian Wilkins Reports: Last month, the annual “Rock and Shock” event returned to downtown Worcester, Mass., for its tenth year. The event delivered a loaded lineup of horror icons and musical acts. On the celebrity side, Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, Gunnar Hansen, Robert Patrick, Dee Snider, Michael Rooker, and many others met with fans, posed for photos and signed autographs throughout the weekend. The nightly stage performances included Between the Buried and Me on Thursday night, Jay and Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie, hosted by Jason Mewes on Friday night, Dazig — joined by former Misfits guitarist, Doyle — on Saturday night, and Twiztid, who capped off the four-day event, on Sunday night.
Highlights of the weekend included the “40 Years of Nightmares,” which brought together four of horror’s most iconic characters — Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street), Tony Moran (Michael Myers from the original Halloween), and Kane Hodder (Jason Vorhees from Friday the 13th Parts 7-10). For the second year in a row, the cast of “Holliston”, Adam Green, Corri English, Laura Ortiz and Dee Snider, hosted a live script reading with members of the audience joining them on stage.
“Rock and Shock” will return to the DCU Center and Palladium in Worcester, October 17-19, 2014.

Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
