First Look at Spinoff Series Fear the Walking Dead

Published

on

The fifth season of The Walking Dead came to an end last night, which means we once again have to wait until October until Rick and the gang make their grand return. But have no fear, because we don’t have to wait until October for the return of The Walking Dead

As we’ve been reporting, AMC is currently hard at work on a spinoff series to the hit zombie show, which last week was officially given the title Fear the Walking Dead. And if you watched The Talking Dead last night, you caught your first sneak peek of the brand new show.

The new series will be set in Los Angeles, centering on a male divorced teacher and a female guidance counselor. The first season will consist of six one-hour episodes and premiere on AMC in late summer. The show’s second season will air in 2016.

Check out the first clip from Fear the Walking Dead below, along with a couple images!

Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, and David Alpert from The Walking Dead are executive producers of the new series, which, like the original, is being produced by AMC Studios. Dave Erickson (Sons of Anarchy), who co-created and co-wrote the pilot with Kirkman, is an executive producer and showrunner.

Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey have been cast, with Dillane playing the woman’s son, who has battled a drug problem, and Debnam Carey playing the woman’s ambitious daughter. The still-growing cast also includes Cliff Curtis and Kim Dickens.

“We take incredibly seriously the notion of building a satisfying companion series to the number one show on television. From the beginning of ‘The Walking Dead’ on AMC, we’ve been asked questions about what was going on in other parts of the zombie apocalypse and what it looked like as the world really did ‘turn.’ Through this new series, we’re going to find out,” said Charlie Collier, AMC president.

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.
