Venom will Have More than Carnage to Deal With in Upcoming Sequel

Published

on

Venom

Venom 2 has supposedly added another layer of terror with the addition of a second Marvel villain to the film.

According to Deadline, Frances Barrison aka “Shriek” will be featured in the film alongside her sometimes romantic interest Cletus Kasaday aka “Carnage.”

In the comics, Barrison, who was abused as a child by her mother for being overweight among other things, ultimately became a drug dealer and with an unhealthy fixation on becoming a mother herself. Her sanity was further damaged after she was shot in the head which unleashed her latent mutant abilities.

In addition to her ability to fly, she can harness sound, manipulating it into a violent concussive force. She can also use her sonic abilities to manipulate the emotions of those around her, causing fear, rage, and despair.

Shriek had a variety of powers in the comics.

Sony did not comment on the rumored addition to the film citing the fact that it in in the early days of pre-production and it will not actually begin filming until next year.

Shriek would be an interesting element to add to the burgeoning franchise. Not only was she a vicious, cold-blooded villain, but her powers would add a layer chaos to an already interesting film.

Andy Serkis is set to helm the new film with Tom Hardy returning to the role of the symbiote Venom. Woody Harrelson made a cameo as Carnage/Kasady in the first film and will most likely return for the sequel.

There is no word yet on who might step into the role of Shriek.

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.
