Published

on

Dark Ink Books, the publisher of Kane Hodder’s official biography, is back with Skeletons in the Attic, a collection of horror short stories from author Michael GoreSkeletons in the Attic, which contains fifteen gruesome, terrifying new stories, will be available on June 13.

Skeletons in the Attic is the second anthology for Gore, a mortician and reclusive writer from New England.  Gore’s first short story collection, Tales from a Mortician, has been optioned to be turned into an anthology film.

“With fifteen dark and twisted tales, the mortician is back to terrify you once again,” says publisher Michael Aloisi.  “The author of the hit horror anthology Tales from a Mortician has masterfully weaved a new collection that will turn your stomach, have you checking under your bed, locking your doors, and forcing you to leave your lights on as you read.”

Skeletons in the Attic opens with the story ‘Paralyzed,’ which presents a disturbing portrait of a suicidal quadriplegic who finds meaning in life, in the most gruesome way possible.  The book’s titular story, ‘Skeletons in the Attic,’ is about two brothers who unearth a dead body in their parents’ attic.

‘Four Halloweens’ tells the story of an anguished mother who pursues a diabolical form of revenge against the man who abducted and murdered her son.  “Finding a body in your parents’ attic, encountering serial killers, cannibals, werewolves, gut-wrenching Halloween tricks,” says Aloisi, describing the book’s contents.  “Skeletons will disgust, enthrall, and terrify everyone who dares to read it.  However, be warned: The content is graphic and will be upsetting to some readers.”

Skeletons in the Attic will be available as a trade paperback, and it will also be available in the form of an audio book and an e-book.  In October, Dark Ink plans to release another as-yet-untitled anthology book, which will be entirely devoted to Halloween-themed short stories.

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
