Blumhouse Conjures A Trailer And Release Date For ‘The Craft: Legacy’

Back last March, we reported that Blumhosue was working on a new version of The Craft. Today, we can tell you that the official title is The Craft: Legacy and that the movie is actually a sequel, not a reboot (thank god). To top it all off, the trailer is also here, introducing us to the new witches! Legacy is a continuation of the cult hit The Craft (1996), in which an eclectic foursome of aspiring teenage witches get more than they bargained for as they lean into their newfound powers. Written and directed by Zoe Lister-Jones, the film stars Cailee Spaeny (Bad Times at the El Royale, On the Basis of Sex), Gideon Adlon (The Society, Blockers, The Mustang), Lovie Simone (Selah & the Spades, Greenleaf), Zoey Luna (Pose, Boundless), and Nicholas Galitzine (Cinderella), with Michelle Monaghan and David Duchovny.

DVD Review: Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo! (2020)

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the DVD I reviewed in this blog post. The opinions I share are my own. Scooby (Frank Welker) and the gang, Fred (also voiced by Welker), Daphne (Grey Griffin), Velma (Kate Micucci), and Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) are up to their arcane armpits in preternatural peril when ye olde friendly neighborhood pumpkin patch is covered in toxic waste (accompanied by a cue that definitely brings to mind 1985’s Return of the Living Dead) which results in the pumpkins coming to life and they have the horror biz foremost on their monstrous minds! Seems like a solid Scooby-Doo scenario… how about if I told you that Elvira (the legendary Cassandra Peterson herself, ‘natch) shows up, as does Bill Nye the Science Guy (himself, though amped-up to 11)… and the Scarecrow (The A-Team‘s world famous Howlin’ Mad Murdock, Dwight Shultz)… like from Batman… yeah, what the what now?!!

Witness ‘Mass Hysteria’ In This Halloween Horror Comedy’s Trailer

Emerging genre distributor The Horror Collective announced today on Collider that it will be releasing Jeff Ryan and Arielle Cimino’s Halloween-theme horror-comedy Mass Hysteria this October. When a tourist dies on Halloween night in Salem, the crowd seeks justice by mounting a modern-day witch hunt. With the low-key charm of Shaun of the Dead and the sophisticated sarcasm of What We do in the Shadows, Mass Hysteria is a dark comedy that conquers the horror of the Salem Witch Trials by juxtaposing it with the 2020 Covid pandemic and a funny, satirical story. Jeff Ryan (“Orange Is the New Black”), Charlie Pollock (“The Good Wife”), Michelle Veintimilla (“Gotham”), Louis Cancelmi (“Billions”), Destry Allyn (I Know This Much Is True), Scott Swayze (Brooklyn Moving Company), and Geena Santiago (YouthMin) star in Mass Hysteria, arriving October 1st on VOD. Pre-order your copy of the blood-drenched, laugh-out-loud horror-comedy now!

Friends Take A Stab At Scaring Each Other In Shudder’s ‘Scare Me’ Trailer

We’ve got the first trailer for Shudder’s upcoming horror-comedy Scare Me, the feature debut of writer-director Josh Ruben, arriving on the streaming service just ahead of Halloween. In the film, Fred (Josh Ruben, CollegeHumor), a frustrated copywriter, checks into a winter cabin to start his first novel. While jogging in the nearby woods, he meets Fanny (Aya Cash, “You’re The Worst” “The Boys”), a successful and smug young horror author who fuels his insecurities. During a power outage, Fanny challenges Fred to tell a scary story. As a storm sets in, they pass the time spinning spooky tales fueled by the tensions between them, and Fred is forced to confront his ultimate fear: Fanny is the better storyteller. The stakes are raised when they’re visited by a horror fan (Chris Redd, “Saturday Night Live”) who delivers levity (and a pizza) to the proceedings. “About the pleasures and perils of storytelling and the genre’s power to exorcise social demons, Scare Me
