Sign This Petition If You Want Robert Englund Cast as ‘Dr. Loomis’ in Next ‘Halloween’ Movie!

Published

Written by Patti Pauley

Well then, that’s pretty much the greatest idea ever isn’t it? Maybe you’ve seen this fan petition making the rounds on the Interwebs the past 24 hours, urging horror fans to sign a petition to have slasher icon Robert Englund cast in the upcoming Blumhouse Halloween film. Or maybe perhaps this is the first you’re hearing about said casting proposition. Either way, Englund seems like a fantastic choice when it comes to filling those huge shoes Donald Pleasence once wore. Not only does he have the right look, acting chops, and iconic presence to make this role his own, for fans who have ever fantasized about a Myers vs. Krueger film, this is about as close as we’ll ever get.

However, this isn’t the first time Englund’s name has been brought up to play Haddonfield’s leading psychiatrist. Back in September of 2015 right here on iHorror, our very own Landon Evanson threw out that very suggestion, which you can read more in-depth here. Fans seemed to love the idea then, and it doesn’t look like much has changed in a year and a half.

This new petition started by Wang Chi over on Change.Org, that states the document will be delivered to Blumhouse if enough sign, is starting to gain steam, and I’m personally delighted to see such enthusiasm with fans over the thought of Englund stepping into the Halloween role. Seeing as how this next film is serving as a sequel to 1981’s Halloween II, we’re not entirely sure Loomis will even have a role at all in the upcoming film. However, if he is to make an apperance, this would be one hell of a way to bring him in with a bang. The petition is currently only asking for 500 signatures, and at the time of writing this, we’re at 276; nope, 277. You’re welcome.

 

Make your voice heard, tweet to Robert and Blum themselves, and sign the petition by clicking here if you’d like to see Englund square off against Myers in the ultimate horror icon showdown!

Published

on

Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

The Faceless Lady

Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

‘Blink Twice’ Trailer Presents a Thrilling Mystery in Paradise

Published

on

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this  Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
