Based On The Cult Hit, “Heathers: The Musical” Is Coming To Roku!

I love musicals as much as the next person, but add horror into it, and I’m in! Roku has just announced it will exclusively bring a live capture of the stage adaptation of the hit West End musical “Heathers: The Musical,” based on one of the greatest cult teen films of all time, 1989’s Heathers, to The Roku Channel. Andy Fickman directs the musical, with book, music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe. Fickman, Murphy and O’Keefe will also produce. The special is also produced by Village Roadshow Pictures (VRP) and Bill Kenwright’s BKStudios. The musical was filmed at The Other Palace, where it started its U.K. journey in 2018.

The production then returned to the Haymarket for another successful West End

Dee Snider Announces He Is Directing A New Horror Film

Back in 1998, “Twisted Sister” rocker Dee Snider wrote and starred in the horror movie Strangeland, which has since become something of a cult classic. Now, Snider is back with a new horror project. Snider took to Twitter to announce a new movie that it is greenlit and will kick off pre-production in a month. But that’s not all, he also revealed that he wrote the yet-to-be-named film and will be serving as director. In the past, Snider has teased that he wanted to make a sequel to Strangeland, in which he starred as a sadist obsessed with body modification that lures teens to be his victims via the internet. Could this be it or is it something entirely different? Hopefully, we’ll find out soon enough. Here’s a look back at the trailer for Sniders’ Strangeland.

Mathew “Piggy D” Montgomery, aka “Count D,” aka “Piggy D”, is known for his musical talents, serving as the bassist in Rob Zombie’s band for the past 16 years, along with other bands. Montgomery is now serving as the host for Gibson TV’s new series “Metal and Monsters,” a fantastic show that explores the history of both metal music and the horror genre. Each episode features two guests, for example, the premiere episode (watch here) sees Montgomery sit down with Robert Englund and master of metal, Don Dokken to talk about A Nightmare on Elm Street and Dokken’s band. I sat down with Montgomery, who is incredibly down to earth and friendly, to talk about “Metal and Monsters,” his music, and so much more, for what is one of my favorite interviews in years. McNeely: “There’s a lot of overlap between metal and horror. Why do you think that is?” Montgomery: “I think it’s because people who are fans of
