‘Poltergeist’ Poster Scares From the Other Side (of a Flatscreen)
The new international Poltergeist poster knows what scares you, and shows the young girl encountering the spooks through a modern day television screen. It’s an upgraded version of the original poster for Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg’s classic haunter.
In theaters May 22nd from Fox and MGM, Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Saxon Sharbino and Jane Adams star in the modern take, with Jared Harris playing Carrigan, a larger than life TV personality who left the world of academia behind to become the star host of basic cable TV show “Haunted House Cleaners.”

Zach Cregger and Brian Duffield Teaming on ‘Siren Head’ Horror Movie Based on Viral Sensation
Hollywood is seeking its next Backrooms and may have found it in artist Trevor Henderson‘s Siren Head. Horror heavy hitters Zach Cregger (Weapons, Resident Evil) and Brian Duffield (Spontaneous, Whalefall) are teaming on a new movie.
Warner Bros. Pictures has picked up the underlying rights to Siren Head; THR reports that the studio emerged victorious from a five-studio bidding war with a massive, multi-million dollar deal.
What is Siren Head? It’s creature designer Trevor Henderson’s hostile, 40-foot cryptid, a rotting skeletal figure with two sirens as a head. Henderson’s 2018 art took off on the internet, growing into full blown sensation, racking up 3 billion TikTok views, one billion YouTube views, and millions of Roblox plays.
Cregger is teaming with Duffield to write the script, with Duffield to direct.
Siren Head has clearly evolved into its own monster mythology, attracting Cregger and Duffield. Per THR, “The duo are said to have found a take into the world that jazzed them into collaborating and in turn, excited the studios into bidding.”
Cregger will also produce the feature along with Roy Lee and Andrew Childs of Vertigo Entertainment, the production company that produced Weapons. Scott Glassgold of 12:01 Films, which specializes in finding Hollywood-friendly material on the internet, will also produce. Duffield will produce via his banner, Jurassic Party Productions.
