Authorities Across U.S. Issue Warnings To Citizens Buying Halloween Clown Costumes
Written by Patti Pauley
A few twisted scumbags have ruined it for the rest of us this Halloween. Or if you happen to suffer from coulrophobia, this is probably good news for you.
As you may or possibly may not be aware of the recent threats that have spread all across the United States involving some highly likely “sick individuals” wearing clown costumes, roaming about wooded areas attempting to lure children towards them. The trouble first started in South Carolina, and has quickly spread over the past month to at least 15 states across the North American map. The latest clown “threats” range from reports from attacks from a man dressed in a clown get-up in Ohio, as well as witnesses spotting one wielding a kitchen knife in the streets; to an incident in Pennsylvania where a 10th grader was fatally stabbed after a fight with someone wearing a clown mask, and reports of clowns chasing children in the streets hurling objects at them.
This shit is way out of hand.
According to reports in several states, authorities are taking this matter very seriously and have issued a warning to those who plan on dressing up as a painted nightmare this Halloween. As a matter of fact, they’re recommending you scrap that idea all together. Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco in Florida recently spoke with his local news station issuing an advisory for anyone even contemplating a clown costume this Halloween.
“People are fed up, They’re tired of seeing demonstrations and riots. They’re sick and tired of terrorist threats. Now they’ve got to deal with these damn clown things going on. They’re saying if one of these clowns comes on to my property they’re going to get shot. The kids who think ‘hey this is just a joke’, I warn you, don’t get caught up in this movement. All you’re going to do is get yourself hurt or get someone else hurt. I would highly recommend do not use clown outfits as your preferred choice. Go with something else.”

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power
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.
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.
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
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 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.
