Halloween came early to the Los Angeles area this year, with ScareLA! ScareLA marking its fourth year run with this year’s theme “Season of the Witch,” hosted by the Queen of Halloween herself, Elvira Mistress of the Dark! ScareLA was founded in 2013 and is the first convention dedicated to celebrating everything Halloween in the Los Angeles area. ScareLA combines top talent with with a unique twist! Haunt enthusiasts and creative professionals bring spooktacular panels, workshops, attractions, to life!

ScareLA is a unique venue offering so much to Halloween enthusiasts and iHorror was right in the middle of the madness! This year Elvira served as the official host casting a magical spell over the event, and that was just the beginning. Other guests attending were Robert Murkus (House of 1000 Corpses), Philip Friedman (Insidious), and the beautiful Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp) were not only available for autographs and signings, each offered unique one-on-one time with fans!

ScareLA really outdid themselves this year! My favorite attraction was a mini maze, Blood Offering: Legend of The Iron Witch. The theme of the maze was to save your soul before hell captures it. This maze was something that I had never experienced before, with its pitch black hallways, a priest and demon nuns grabbing on their guests as they walked through, terrifying. The interaction was incredible and is exactly what set it apart from other mazes, it was a hell of a ride!

The Iron WItch
Founded in 2001, The Screamfest Horror Film Festival is an organization that supports the development of independent filmmakers of the Horror genre. The festival will run a total of ten days, providing the foundation for emerging writers and directors to show off their product not only to the industry but the public horror community. ScreamFest will run from October 18th-27th, and was on hand at ScareLA to answer any sinister questions that haunt enthusiasts had.

Sadly the event ended as fast as it started. Soon we will bear witness to the falling of rusty colored leaves, the fresh cool breeze, and the smell of pumpkin spice, our Halloween season will be starting. I do ponder as to what ScareLA will have in store for us next year? I am sure we will not be disappointed, until next time, stay spooky!

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

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.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
