Watch Every 13 Days of Horror Video Right Here!
I should say you can watch all but one of the videos in this year’s 13 Days of Horror, but since life kept getting in the way — seriously, my Internet went out for two days, starting on Halloween, then a transformer blew leaving me without power for a full day — I wasn’t able to get around to making that thirteenth video. My goal was to cap off the series with a playthrough of Alien: Isolation, and while that’s still the plan, it’ll have to wait a wee bit longer.
As we continue our wait for me to finally get caught up, here’s a recap of this year’s series!
Day 1 — Five Nights at Freddy’s
Day 2 — Monstrum
Day 3 — Contagion
Day 4 — Left 4 Dead 2 – Silent Fear mod
Day 5 — Grave
Day 6 — Doorways: The Underworld
Day 7 — Slender: The Arrival
Day 8 — F.E.A.R. 3
Day 9 — Saw: The Video Game
Day 10 — Damned
Day 11 — Neverending Nightmares
Day 12 — The Evil Within
Day 13 — Alien: Isolation
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
