Annabelle Churns Up Scares At Son of Monsterpalooza!

Published

on

The Scary Closet never ceases to amaze me each year bringing a slew of unique and scary experiences, panels, and replica puppet props to both Monsterpalooza and Son of Monsterpalooza. The Scary Closet has become an integral part of each show and I was very excited to partake in their Annabelle Comes Home Panel. The cast (and a few monsters) hit the theatre stage for a quick thirty-minute presentation where they discussed the film and gave the audience an opportunity to win a signed, life-size Annabelle Doll created by none other than The Scary Closet.

During the panel when asked about the Annabelle doll, actress Madison Iseman explained, “There are different types of dolls. All of them have different functions. There are literally stunt Annabelles that can be thrown across the room.” The moderator made the comparison to Bruce the Shark in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws, “One could go this way, one could go that way,” it was pretty funny! I am sure Annabelle was well behaved in comparison to the monster shark!

When the cast was asked about the part of the Annabelle franchise that was there favorite actress Katie Sarife explained that “James Wann is frickin amazing and he has a really good way of bringing heart into horror.” She also liked that the Warrens were in this installment (they were absent from the previous two films). Little Samara Lee explained that her favorite part of the franchise was the fans. “Because honestly, we wouldn’t be anywhere if it wasn’t for them.” Samara also shared the same love for James Wann with co-star Katie, “James Wann is just amazing, we couldn’t have done this without him.”

Annabelle Comes Home is now available on digital and will release on DVD/Blu-Ray on October 8th. Annabelle Comes Home is the third Annabelle film and I must say that each film just gets better and better. The film was quite frightening and entertaining and I cannot say enough about it, for sure on my top 5 list for the year. The cast did conclude that they would be up for doing another one, fingers crossed that happens. Go ahead and scroll down for some photos from the panel.

’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.

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.
