Asa Butterfield And Gillian Anderson Cast In ‘Croak’

Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game) will star in ‘Croak’, the first live-action film from Oscar-nominated ParaNorman director Sam Fell. Fell will star along side ‘X-Files’ actress Gillian Anderson, Stanley Tucci and Jermine Clement (What We Do in the Shadows), according to THR. Butterfield will be playing a young Grimm Reaper in this horror-comedy. Butterfield’s Reaper character will be haunting everyday people while he controls the exit of souls from our world to the next. The other details of the film are being kept “hush hush”, but with a such an impressive cast, I expect great things from the film. We will give an update when we know more.

Movie Review: Cooties (2015)

We can all remember a time when we were kids that catching the cooties was a serious concern. The 2015 film ‘Cooties’ combines that past fear with the new trend of zombie like creatures and they do it well. Directors Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion made great choice when it came to casting Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings), Rainn Wilson (The Office), Alison Pill (The Newsroom), Jack McBrayer (The Jack and Triumph Show), Leigh Whannell (Insidious) and Nasim Pedrad (Saturday Night Live) as the teachers fighting to survive the horde of blood thirsty students in ‘Cooties’. ‘Cooties’ begins on chicken farm. The chickens are infected with a strange virus, the chickens are being made into chicken nuggets, which are in turn sold to schools. A little girl eats an infected nugget and spreads the virus by first biting a little boy, who is a bit of a jerk. The virus mutates quickly and the boy spreads the virus

‘Hellyfish’ Becoming A Full Length Film

Directors Robert McLean and Patrick Longstreth are working on a full length version of the award-winning short film ‘Hellyfish’. The directors even used the short film to sell the horror-comedy that will give the SyFy Channel’s creature features a run for their money. The short film may only be thirteen minutes but it makes a big impact. I can’t wait to see the full length film, even though it may make me think twice about going to the beach.

Jordan McCloskey Talks With Me About His Film ‘Ghostpuncher’

For those of you who haven’t heard about the horror-comedy ‘Ghostpuncher’, let me fill you in. ‘Ghostpuncher’ is the brain-child of Gemini award winning actor/writer Jordan McCloskey . Jordan starred on the TV series ‘The Wilkinsons’ and the series ‘Three Chords From the Truth’. Now Jordan has set out to make an unforgettable and completely original movie with blood, gore, creepy ghosts and a few laughs. I sat down today to talk with Jordan about his project. The man on the other end of the phone was over flowing with excitement about ‘Ghostpuncher’ and I can’t blame him, by the time I hung up the phone I was psyched about this indie film too. ‘Ghostpuncher’ tells the story of a single father and his son, who have moved into a new house, unaware of the fact that the home is haunted by three spirits. The home now stands on the foundation of where a nineteenth century poor-house once stood. The

Love and Decay Vol 1, Season 1 by Rachel Higginson

Love and Decay Volume #1 (Episodes 1-6 of the first season) by Rachel Higginson is a book I have been meaning to read for a while. It was recommended to me months ago by a reader during Women in Horror month and I’m just now getting the chance to circle back around to it. As of this post, the book is available for free on Kindle. (I seem to plug kindle a lot, but it’s what I use and I love the fact that I can read books online or on my cell phone with the FREE Kindle Reading App. If you like another medium feel free to recommend it in the comments or to me on Twitter!) The good news with this series is that it is already several volumes in the making, which means that unless you have a huge reading appetite you won’t have to wait a long time for the next installment. …Not unless you get

Movie Review: ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ (2014)

The mockumentary ‘What We Do In the Shadows’ follows a group of vampire flat mates through their night to night lives, their partying, hunting, the drama, issues with a werewolf pack, zombies and dating. Jemaine Clement plays the role of Vladislav, the Romeo of the bunch. Ben Fransham’s character Petyr is the oldest of the group, he’s the hungry silent type. The hot-headed vampire, Deacon, is played by Jonathan Brough. Viago, the vampire that serves as the glue that keeps the group together, as well as making sure everything is taken care of, is played by (writer/director) Taika Waititi. The wild card and new vampire, Nick (Jonathan Brough) seems to be the source of most of the groups troubles. Let’s not forget Stu, the only still living human of the bunch, played by Stuart Rutherford. The writing/directing team of Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi have created a hilarious horror-comedy, with the makings of a cult classic. ‘What We Do In
