Written by Patti Pauley

Yeah so, remember that “killer clown” craze last fall that swept both the U.S. and U.K.? Remember when I forwarded the news that authorities weren’t fucking around with the hoaxes and pranksters? I ‘member. And for those who thought it was cute to dress as a twisted nightmare and scare the piss out of random people for the possibility of going viral, take a lesson from this little twerp by the name of Michael March. He’s going viral alright..

This lovely individual thought it would be all in good fun to hop on the killer clown craze and pull a prank on some unsuspecting citizens in South Shields, England. However, his so-called joke didn’t go exactly as planned.

The incident that happened to occur on Halloween Eve of last year, involved a frightened 22-week pregnant woman, her partner, and March donning a clown costume. March was waiting for the pair to near him as they walked past a car park of a local pub, per The Sun. March began banging an ax he was carrying on the ground, to attract the pair’s attention and then commenced to wield the weapon towards the couple. The soon-to-be mother (who wishes to remain nameless) got scared enough for her maternal and survival instincts to kick in, and she threw a brick at March in an attempt to thwart him off.

Well, it worked. March and his buddy who accompanied him on said prank bolted, but not before the authorities caught up with him. March was arrested, but not before pleading with the law enforcers that it was “harmless” and that “he wasn’t going to hurt her”.

March was due to be sentenced earlier this month, but the Judge pushed the date back to March of 2017. The future of Michael March and what could soon be his burning butt-hole will have to wait until then for sentencing.

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.

28 Days Later

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.
