THE WEEK’S HORROR HEADLINES (8th—15th December)

Not got time to trawl the web for all the top horror news of the last week? Well allow me to give you a bite-size breakdown of the all biggest nightmarish news!

1: JAMIE LEE CURTIS RETURNS TO HORROR

Jamie Lee Curtis has joined Emma Roberts (Scream 4 and American Horror Story) in AHS showrunner’s Ryan Murphy new Fox horror-comedy anthology series, Scream Queens.
The greatest Scream Queen of all time back in the genre at last! If this manages to combine the humour of Murphy’s Glee and the more gruesome scares of American Horror Story, I might actually be pretty interested!

2: NEW WOMAN IN BLACK 2 POSTER REVEALED

The follow-up to Hammer’s smash hit 2012 chiller The Woman in Black has unleashed a new, very creepy poster. The film will be in cinema’s next month, but apparently, she never left.
Brrrrrrrrrr!

3: MRS VOORHEES RETURNS IN NEW FRIDAY THE 13TH

Pamela Voorhees will make an appearance in the new Friday the 13th film! Furthermore, it WILL be based in the 1980s and will receive an R rating in the United States!
I’m all for this, don’t mess with a formula that works. I just hope they consider talking to Betsy Palmer for an appearance...

4: KING KONG FILM RENAMED AND RESCHEDULED

Legendary Pictures has released some information regarding its new King Kong movie.  Formerly known as just Skull Island, the picture has been renamed Kong: Skull Island, while its release date has been pushed back to 10th March 2017. As Legendary’s Godzilla did pretty damn well at the box office, could we be seeing a modern day Kong vs Godzilla monster mash in the future?

5: MUCK HITS FUNDRAISING TARGET!

Last week I mentioned that Steve Wolsh’s indie horror throwback Muck was seeking funding to ensure that it’s prequel, Muck: Feast of St Patrick would be made. At the time, things were pretty tight… but it eventually smashed it’s $250,000 target!
Well done to everybody involved (including any backers who may have headed there from this blog!)
Now let’s enjoy that trailer again shall we?

6: NEW THIS WEEK

This week sees the long awaited limited edition blu-ray release of Jörg Buttgereit’s Nekromantik.  This version comes as a three-disc release with an INCREDIBLE amount of director approved special features. Get over to Amazon to grab it!
