Blumhouse Conjures A Remake Of ‘The Craft’

The trend of remakes and reboots shows no signs of slowing, in fact, today, we have news about another classic being revamped, The Craft. That’s right, The Craft. Three years ago there was a remake in the works from director Leigh Janiak (Honeymoon) who has since stepped away. Now, Blumhouse has found a new director, Zoe-Lister Jones (“Life in Pieces”). There was a script by Janiak and Phil Graziadei that picked up 20 years after the original movie with a new group of witches, but there is no word if the script will be used or if a new one will be written. Doug Wick, who produced the original, will be returning to produce along with Jason Blum. Andrew Fleming directed the original film that centered on a new girl (Robin Tunney) in town who joins a group of young witches played by Fairuza Blak, Neve Campbell, and Rachel True.

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Fairuza Balk

We are midway through another week, my Little Monsters, which means it’s time again to focus on a wonderful Woman of Horror. The focus this Wednesday is on a lovely and talented woman, who I personally wish were more of a fixture in the horror genre, Miss Fairuza Balk. Fairuza Alejandra Feldthouse is a California girl by birth, having been born in Point Reyes, CA to Solomon Feldthouse and Cathryn Balk. So taken with his baby daughter’s blue eyes, Solomon exclaimed, “Fairuza!” (which is the Farsi word for turquoise), and thus she had her name. She began her childhood, growing up in a commune in Cloverdale, CA with her mother, before they later moved on to Vancouver, British Columbia. It was at this time that Fairuza made her television acting debut in the ABC television movie, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. This movie is a personal favorite of mine and my brother, and we watched it over and over on
