From the writing duo Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsh, who also wrote Starry Eyes, comes a new version of Stephen King’s classic Pet Sematary and the release date has just been announced. The story, first published in 1983, centers on Louis Creed and his wife Rachel who have just moved with their two children into a home near a busy road. Soon they learn of a Pet Sematary near their property, where legend has it that animals buried there come back to life. When his daughter’s cat Church is run over Louis burys him in the stony soil of that sacred place. When Church returns he’s not the loving cat he once was.

If one of your favorite things about Halloween is the haunted houses, we have a treat for you and it doesn’t even involve you leaving your couch. Odds are you saw Bobby Roe’s 2014 found footage film The House October Built about a group of friends on a mission to find an extreme haunted house. If you haven’t. No problem, Netfix has it on its streaming service. If you have seen it and are a fan, you are going to love what I am about to tell you. There is a sequel on its way. Deadline is reporting that RLJ Entertainment has acquired the rights to The House October Built 2. Roe will be returning as director and co-writer, as will the original cast including Zack Andrews, Brandy Schaefer, Mikey Roe, and Jeff Larson. Steven Schneider (Split) serves as producer along with Andrews. We have more good news, a theatrical and VOD release date is being eyed for this September.

One of the biggest stories to come out of this weekend’s San Diego Comic Con is that Lionsgate has pulled a fast one, sneaky bastards. Adam Wingard’s The Woods is actually a sequel to Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez’s 1999’s hit The Blair Witch Project. Back in April we reported that another sequel was in the works, but last night news came that the sequel has been here all long, under the title The Woods, and it has a new name, Blair Witch. I have no idea how they kept this quiet for so long (3 years). But with such a great director and a list of heavy hitters producing, we knew the film was going to big from the start. Adam Wingard has a list of great films on his resume, including You’re Next, The Guest, and V/H/S and V/H/S 2. Blair Witch was penned by Simon Barrett, Wingard’s long time collaborator. Those “heavy hitters” I was referring to,
