Nick Carter is still Making Teenage Girls Scream!

Published

on

Coming off of the heels of his last horror movie, Dead 7, former Backstreet Boy member Nick Carter is changing gears for his next movie in the horror world.  In 2016 the heartthrob of the 90’s made his writing debut in the dark genre with the western zombie flick, Dead 7, directed by Danny Roew.  Dipping his big toe into the murky waters of the horror genre, Carter rounded up his old boy band buddies to collaborate with him by filling up the cast.  While the revival of the long dead boy band members generated more of a buzz than the movie itself, this isn’t keeping Carter down as he reunites with Roew for his next project.

We know very little about his next movie.  What we do know is this new horror movie will not focus on the reanimated corpses of lip synchers, instead it will be focusing on the slasher genre.  Teenagers, drinking, screaming, premarital sex, sounds like an easier road to take, and oddly like a concert from his past… yet I digress.


Arriving at the Walker Stalker convention in Atlanta, Georgia, Carter told Joblo.com that he had been recently binging on horror movies to get into the Halloween spirit, specifically the Friday the 13th series.  At least the blonde hair blue eyed angel of the stage has taste.  Upon his feasting on all things Voorhees that is when this idea hit him… Oh boy…

The former boy band member explained to Joblo.com

(It’s) ironic, that I’m that blonde boy from the Backstreet Boys, in a boy band, that I have a very dark side to me and I cannot get away from horror. I’ve always wanted to do a slasher movie … and you come to these events, and when you see The Walking Dead or these things, it’s all character-driven. It’s about finding a character that people will remember in the time to come, and so right now I’ve got a really cool concept and a cool story. Now I’m going to start to draw the characters out, and I’m going to start to prepare. It’s going to be multiple characters in a movie (with) a little bit of comedy and a lot of horror.””

Ironic or not that Carter has layers that don’t cater to the image he struggled to uphold for years in the media’s eye, we at iHorror are very interested at how dark this boy band member turned horror writer can get.  We will be bringing you more news on it as it breaks!

The Motion Picture Association (MPA) has given this film an “R” rating for its “bloody images,” hinting at the visceral and intense experience awaiting viewers.

Joining Nicolas Cage in this harrowing journey are Jaeden Martell, known for his role in “IT” (2017), Maxwell Jenkins from “Lost in Space,” and Sadie Soverall, featured in “Fate: The Winx Saga.” Directed by Ben Brewer (“The Trust”) and penned by Mike Nilon (“Braven”), “Arcadian” promises a unique blend of poignant storytelling and electrifying survival horror.

‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3’ Is a Go with Enhanced Budget and New Characters

Published

Winnie the Pooh 3

Wow, they’re churning things out fast! The upcoming sequel “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3” is officially moving forward, promising an expanded narrative with a larger budget and the introduction of beloved characters from A.A. Milne’s original tales. As confirmed by Variety, the third installment in the horror franchise will welcome Rabbit, the heffalumps, and the woozles into its dark and twisted narrative.

This sequel is a part of an ambitious cinematic universe that reimagines children’s stories as horror tales. Alongside “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” and its first sequel, the universe includes films such as “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare”, “Bambi: The Reckoning,” and “Pinocchio Unstrung”. These movies are set to converge in the crossover event “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble,” slated for a 2025 release.

Winnie the Pooh Poohniverse

The creation of these films was made possible when A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book “Winnie-the-Pooh” entered the public domain last year, allowing filmmakers to explore these cherished characters in unprecedented ways. Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and producer Scott Jeffrey Chambers, of Jagged Edge Productions, have led the charge in this innovative endeavor.

The inclusion of Rabbit, heffalumps, and woozles in the upcoming sequel introduces a new layer to the franchise. In Milne’s original stories, heffalumps are imagined creatures resembling elephants, while woozles are known for their weasel-like characteristics and a penchant for stealing honey. Their roles in the narrative remain to be seen, but their addition promises to enrich the horror universe with deeper connections to the source material.
