Published

Cursed Films

Everyone’s favorite creepy streaming service is taking us behind the scenes of the most infamously haunted movie sets in a brand new docu-series titled CursedĀ Films, according to Dread Central.

We’ve all heard the stories of the supposed death curse of Poltergeist which some believe claimed the life of its young star, Heather O’Rourke. How about the repeated deaths, bad luck, and supernatural occurrences while filming TheĀ Exorcist?

And how about non-horror films?

Matt Damon and Michael Douglas both reported eerie occurrences, cold spots, flickering lights, and the phantom sent of men’s cologne while filming the Liberace biopic BehindĀ theĀ Candelabra. Halle Berry also reported strange happenings on the set of IntroducingĀ DorothyĀ Dandridge that seemed tied to one of Ms. Dandridge’s dresses which Berry wore in the film.

CursedĀ Films will dig into these types of stories and more as it seeks to shed light on the most terrifying movie sets of all time.

According to a press release:

Cursed FilmsĀ will reveal the events that haunted these productions through interviews with experts, witnesses and the cast, directorsĀ andĀ producers who lived through the real-life events. Were these films really cursed, as many believe, or just the victims of bad luck and bizarre circumstances?”

The new series will be written and directed by Jay Cheel.

While there is no word on exactly which film sets the series will highlight, it seems a sure bet that we’re in store for chilling true paranormal stories on CursedĀ Films!

Stay tuned to iHorror for more info as it becomes available!

Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer,Ā Aaron Taylor-Johnson,Ā andĀ 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.

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.
