Friday the 13th Camp Blood event in Orlando, FL

Published

on

When was the last time you remember a Friday the 13th falling on the calendar in October?  Creator of 13X Studios Rick Styczynski, iHorror, and Orlando’s comic book store Gods & Monsters believes this is cause for celebration!  If you’re local to central Florida, on October Friday the 13th come out to Orlando’s Gods & Monsters for the first, and hopefully annual, Camp Blood Horror Celebration!

What began as a Jason Voorhees themed event has morphed into an all-encompassing horror party for fans to come out and appreciate all aspects of the genre, but still with an emphasis on the hockey mask wearing psycho himself.  It is his day, after all.

On October 13 there will be nearly two dozen vendors in the lobby of the Gods & Monsters at their new location at 5421 International Drive after they were abruptly removed from their previous home at the Artegon when the mall decided to close its doors for good.

In the months leading up to the event organizer Rick, Gods & Monsters owner Todd Fischer, and iHorror writer Piper have sat down on the podcast ‘Spitting Blood’ to cover updates and expectations for the event.  The beautiful Nicki Voorhees has been a re-occrung guest along with Walking Dead star Jeremy Palko, who will be signing autographs at the event from 6-9pm.

A taste of the vendors and artists lined up for the evening include artist Vaughn Balek,  Eerie Florida, Luna Moon Gothic Jewelry, Deviant Dollz, Bear Cat Creations, Coffee Shop of Horrors, GenkiGoth Studios, Razor Glove Productions, and Sideshow Sauces which will be featuring a limited release of a sauce named after your favorite hockey mask killer; Hodder than Hell!

If the horror themed artists and vendors don’t pull you into this event, then come for the world premiere of Never Hike Alone by Womp Stomp Films, a Friday the 13th fan film!  Never Hike Alone will be debuting in Vault 5421’s 18+ bar where you can sip on a specially designed horror themed cocktails while enjoying the gore on screen.  I hear the iHorror cocktail as well as the 13X Studios Camp Blood Ale are to die for!

Other events held throughout the evening will be a raffle for Give Kids the World.  If you buy a raffle ticket but are not present when your number is called it is still yours and you will be notified of your prize.  Some of the prizes included memorabilia from The Houses October Built, singed DVDs and Blu Rays, horror artwork, as well as an assortment of autographed items including posters from Kane Hodder films signed by the man himself!

Later in the evening photo ops will be available with the sexy Mrs. Voorhees and Mrs. Krueger in a setting that is both eerie and beautiful, right next door at Eminence Tattoo!  Their Victorian furniture, chandeliers, and snake skin wallpaper makes this the perfect setting for such a darkly influenced cosplay experience.

There are other goodies in store for the evening as well, but to see them all please check out the official Camp Blood Facebook page here!  It’s going to be a bloody good time, not just for Friday the 13th fans but for all horror fans alike!  See you there!

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’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.
