If the name Tom Devlin sounds familiar to you, the man of a literal thousand talents within the horror industry’s name has most likely run across your after- screen credits upon watching your favorite horror film. Special effects, makeup design, actor, producer, writer, the list goes on as Devlin has dabbled in it all from his work in numerous Full Moon movies such as the upcoming Puppet Master: Axis Termination, the Evil Bong films, and Killjoy as well serving up his makeup skills in a little film called Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield starring Kane Hodder. All of which are featured in the amazing Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum located just outside of Las Vegas in the small town of Boulder City.

 

Oh yeah, I took the rugrats with me.

Anywho, outside the walls of the building, realistic full-size figures of icons such as Captain Spaulding line the windows ominously both inviting and exciting you for what’s lurking inside. And holy shit snacks folks, this place is a horror fan’s wet dream. Alongside the fact that a good portion of the upcoming Puppet Master: Axis Termination was filmed on the premises, the actual puppets themselves used on screen are on beautiful display popping out of the infamous trunk of Andre Toulon. Fantastic folks.

Among Blade and friends, the museum is full of other screen used props not only from the Full Moon index of horror titles such as Gingerdead Man and Evil Bong, the museum takes great lengths to offer insight on each display you come across with trivia and maybe some little-known facts to horror fans. As you enter the museum, a motorized Cryptkeeper himself greets you in his perfect ghoulish ways and you’re immediately smacked in the face with so much horror infused glory it makes your head spin faster than a possessed Linda Blair.

Full-scale models of Evil Dead Ash, the Killer Klown gang, and Michael Myers perch the floors in immaculate detail, and a really neat photo opp area that features a little John Carpenter film is available inside that I just couldn’t resist taking advantage of given my attire for the day.

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.

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.
