We May Be Getting A Remake Of Demons, With The Original Players

Dread Central is reporting that three genre veterans are interested in teaming up again for a 3D remake of Demons. In an interview with Dark Universe Horror Database Stivaletti revealed the trio’s plans. “We have been speaking about a new Demons movie for a short time now. Dario, Lamberto and myself – maybe a 3D version of demons, a remake that features the old crew.” Stivaletti said. “We all wish Itailian horror could return again, but we know how unlikely that is.” “We go to conventions across the world and people remember our work,” he added. “So there is an audience out there for a new Demons movie – we are all sure of it.” In Demons, a

In the original film a seaside town is swarmed by huge flocks of seagulls and crows, who reek havoc on the town and it’s residents. ‘The Birds’ starred Tippi Hedren as Melanie Daniels, a San Francisco socialite.

Even Witchcraft Can’t Save ‘The Craft’ From Being Remade

When I started going through all the news about horror this morning I was shocked, saddened and infuriated to see that ‘The Craft’ has now been added to the very long list of movies set to get remade over the next two years. That’s right, Sony has ordered the remake of ‘The Craft’. (*Facepalm) Leigh Janiak, the writer of 2014’s ‘Honeymoon’, has been tasked with writing the script for the new version of the teenage witch thriller, along with Phil Graziadei who also co-wrote ‘Honeymoon’. The director and cast have yet to be announced for the project. The remake is still in the early phases of preproduction and does not have a release date at this time. I remember the first time I saw the 1996 teenage witch movie ‘The Craft’. The movie was fantastic, it put a spell on me. I must have watched that VHS a hundred time before my VCR ate it. To this day ‘The Craft’
