MAJOR EVIL DEAD NEWS!!! MUST READ!!

So this news regards both the original Sam Raimi franchise & the new Fede Alvarez franchise.


FROM BLOODY DISGUSTING:

"
Director Fede Alvarez dropped a bomb on WonderCon audiences during an Evil Dead panel this Sunday in the Anaheim convention center n California.
Back when the red band trailer had been released, We had pointed out some interesting imagery that suggested that maybe the new Evil Dead, in theaters April 5, was actually a sequel. Alvarez confirmed this to the WonderCon crowd, while also adding something major.
He told audiences that an Evil Dead 2 (followed by a planned Evil Dead 3), and the recently announced Army of Darkness 2, will eventually crossover for the ultimate cult horror movie Evil Dead 7, reports Movieweb. So, after two sequels to the current remake – the remake universe will collide with the old “Ash” universe in a film that will amount to be the 4th installment in both franchises.
At this time, Sam Raimi and his brother Ivan Raimi are working on the screenplay for Army of Darkness 2, which will continue the story of Ash as seen in the original The Evil Dead from 1981. While Fede Alvarez might have been joking, suggests the site, who was on hand for the panel, he seemed serious when he said he plans to join both his new franchise together with Sam Raimi’s old franchise.
Hail the king, baby."

On this day in Horror History, Christopher Walken was born. Starring in hundreds of films in the last 40 years, Walken has become a cult actor in every sense of the word. Having lent his powerful personality to some of the most beloved films off all time, he often plays the boisterous roles that have become a namesake. All can’t be further from the truth, as the man who has epitomized crime bosses and murderers is one of the kindest, most soft hearted men this side of Hollywood.

“My life is anything but eccentric. I've been married for forty-six years and I pay all my bills, and I live in a house where the lawn is always cut and I'm nice to my cat.” –Christopher Walken

On this day in Horror History, Beetlejuice debuted theatrically. From the brilliance of Tim Burton and an award winning effects team, the ’88 release has embedded itself into cult infamy. Starring Michael Keaton as the extravagant and sinister "bio-exorcist" named Betelgeuse (phonetic pronunciation is film’s namesake), the movie is just as peculiarly intriguing behind the scenes as it was before our very eye. Prior to being filmed, the script mandated a much more demonic approach in which Beetlejuice was a winged, reptilian demon who would take upon the form of small Middle Eastern man before mortal eyes. Another odd event leading to the classic which we all know today is the studio’s intervention after conveying the dislike of the title and suggesting "House Ghosts" instead. In mockery of their alteration of his vision, Burton suggested the name "Scared Sheetless", only to be disgusted when they actually liked it.

A moment in cinematic history that has become special in the hearts of so many, Beetlejuice will forever stand the test of time as one of the most imaginative and memorable films of a generation.

“Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?” –Beetlejuice

A talent blessing the industry for nearly half a century, Wilson’s most recent celebrated role is that of Hershel Greene on AMC’s The Walking Dead. Fresh out of High School, Wilson earned a basketball scholarship to Georgia's Southern Tech University, where he was to study architecture. Instead of following that dream, the Georgia native would hitchhike to Los Angeles where a chance encounter with an actor in a bar would ultimately lead to a career in countless beloved films for years to come.

On this day in Horror History, Alfred Hitchcock’s classic The Birds debuted in New York City. Based on the story by Daphne Du Maurier, The Birds was the famed director’s return to film after Psycho and a 3 year hiatus while working on ‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents’. In the presence of many films playing upon the stylized approach and success of Psycho, the legendary director turned the tables on the industry and made the seemingly mundane quite terrifying. With brilliant film-making, the beauty of Tippi Hedre, and the peculiar joy that Hitchcock proved with such antics as speakers bellowing the sounds of birds outside the theatre, the cinematic masterpiece would become one of the most beloved of his career.

“I have never known birds of different species to flock together. The very concept is unimaginable. Why, if that happened, we wouldn't stand a chance! How could we possibly hope to fight them?” –Mrs. Bundy

On this day in Horror History, Quentin Jerome Tarantino was born. A cult director responsible for some of the most celebrated films of all time, Tarantino has given the us such classics as Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Kill Bill (2003), and recently Django Unchained (2012). A talent that breaks the confines of most of the industries finest, he as Directed, Produced and Acted in countless films, even showing his childhood dream of being a writer as he is responsible for the Screenplay of From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) and story of Natural Born Killers (1994). In one way or another, we have all found a connection to the violent and poetic cinematic masterpieces blessed upon us by the film-making genius, and for years to come Tarantino will continue to inspire and bash his immaculately brutal wit into some of the greatest movies ever.

“Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it.” - Quentin Tarantino

On this day in Horror History, Hobo with a Shotgun made it's Canadian release in select theaters. One of several mock trailers that was played in the beginning of the Death Proof and Planet Terror double billed Grindhouse release, it and Machete (2010) were voted by fans to become feature length films. Brilliance from the mind of director Jason Eisener and starring horror icon Rutger Hauer, Hobo with a Shotgun is proof that the visceral and timeless Grindhouse style is not going anywhere.

“I used to be like you... a long time ago. All brand new and perfect. No mistakes, no regrets. People look at you and think of how wonderful your future will be. They want you to be something special... like a doctor or a lawyer. I hate to tell you this, but if you grow up here, you're more likely to wind up selling your bodies on the streets, or shooting dope from dirty needles in a bus stop. And if you're successful, you'll make money selling junk to crackheads. And don't think twice about killing someone's wife, because you won't even know it's wrong in the first place. Maybe... you'll end up like me... A hobo with a shotgun! I hope you can do better. “ -Hobo

On this day in Horror History Ronald Lee Ermey was born. Ermy is without a doubt one of the most unique and domineering actors in history, not just for his powerful demeanor, but for his contributions and service to our country as well. After 11 years in the Marine Corp, he would rise to the rank of Staff Sergeant, would see time in Vietnam and in Okinawa Japan until ultimately injuries would force him to retire from the military. His personification in countless films would derive much inspiration from this period in his life, as his roles as military men, or authority figures have become quite notable. With a vast acting resume in his wake, Ermey has starred in many of horror films including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Willard (2003), Se7en (1995) and countless more. An inspiration in more ways than most horror loving Americans can count, a true tell of his brilliance came on the set of Full Metal Jacket (1987), where the notoriously strict perfectionist and directorial genius Stanley Kubrick gave Ermey the ability to improvise many of his lines, some of which are now infamously tied with the cult film. A rare talent that ties sheer passion, indiscriminate vulgarity and a love for his country and his beliefs, Ermey is an soul that the world is blessed to be in the presence of.

“I firmly believe that you live and learn, and if you don't learn from past mistakes, then you need to be drug out and shot.” –R. Lee Ermey

On this day in Horror History, The Hills Have Eyes 2 made it’s American theatrical debut. The second of the popular remakes of the cult Wes Craven films, it was yet another perfect ode to the franchise. Completely contrasting the vulnerability of the stranded family in the 2006 remake, a group of National Guard trainees are picked off one by one by the depraved mutants in Sector 16 of the New Mexico Desert.

“Do you like fucking with me, Napoleon? I think you do. You know what? You're officially in charge of guarding the latrine. Not using it, but guarding it. I want you to stand with one leg and hold your rifle over your fucking head and make sure that no one steals or molests that port-a-potty, or I will have your Gomer Pyle ass court-martialed immediately.” –Sarge

On this day in Horror History, Resident Evil made its initial release on Playstation in Japan. Arguably one of the most influential games ever, it coined the term “Survival Horror” and spawned an entire franchise released on most every console, PC, and even resulted in a popular film remake. Released in Japan as バイオ ハザード which translates to “Bio-Hazard”, it has been thrust into horror and video game infamy and has received the Guinness World Record for the "Worst Game Dialogue Ever" as well as being listed as one of TIME Magazine’s Top 100 greatest video games of all time. The legacy that has followed in the wake of the S.T.A.R.S elite’s struggle to survive in a zombie filled mansion, has stolen the hearts and free time of legions of video game and horror buffs for more than a decade, hell-bent on continuing that tradition as one of the most lucrative and beloved game franchises to date.

Bizarre murder cases have recently occurred in Raccoon City. There are outlandish reports of families being attacked by a group of about ten people. Victims... were apparently eaten. Bravo Team went to the hideout of the group, and disappeared. “ – Chris Redfield

On this day in Horror History, Shutter (2008) and Chopping Mall (1986) both debuted theatrically. The cult 80’s film from exploitation director Jim Wynorski endured considerable financial turmoil from its initial release as “Killbots” becoming not only a classic slapstick horror film, but a chapter in the perils to be learned by future film makers as the name and marketing proved to damage its initial release. In the film Shutter ‘08 the world saw yet another fruitless one off remake of an Asian film, hitting theatres only a mere 4 years after the Thailand’s original. The movie itself would never be screened for critics, and understandably so.

With Playboy Playmate Connie Mason, a group of deranged townspeople hell-bent on revenge, and the directorial mastermind to feed his vision, Two Thousand Maniacs would go on to inspire a new crop of demented film-makers and even spawn a celebrated sequel in 2005 starring Robert Englund.

On this day in Horror History, the Dawn of the Dead remake marked it's theatrical debut. In the midst of the remakes to come in the new millennium, it was this directorial debut from Zack Snyder that would be a celebrated homage to the classic Romero film. Groundbreaking in it's own right, Dawn of the Dead (2004) changed much of the way that films following it were marketed, being the first to air the first ten minutes uncut on network television a mere five days before its nationwide release. The brilliant merchandising tactics and film-making perfection would compel a new generation of horror aficionados, and would ultimately catch the eye of Romero himself who was quite fond of the remake from the young director. In the film's wake, Zack Snyder would go on to direct such films as 300 (2006), Watchmen (2009), Sucker Punch (2011), and most recently Man of Steel (2013).

A face and voice that has inexplicably found its way into the core of horror’s greatest franchises, Dourifs most notable is that of his role as Chucky the homicidal doll. Star of countless genre films and popular televisions shows, Brad Dourif’s humble beginnings as the boy from West Virginia who lost his dad at age three, has become one of the most definitive cult actors of a generation. With just a chuckle, he can take us back to the moment when the possessed doll invaded our nightmares.

“There is nothing wrong with horror films. Their existence has definitely had an impact on me. It is important to have scary demons in our world on film. We have them in the world. That is why we are afraid, it is nice to have a visual and to have a confrontation with it.” –Brad Dourif

On this day in Horror History, The Crazies made it theatrical debut. The second celebrated masterpiece to come from the mind of the renowned director George A. Romero, the tale of the small Pennsylvania town that is plagued by a pandemic of homicidal and psychotic inhabitants is one of the most unique in Romero’s career, giving us a similar but terrifying perspective on a fragile society. Following suit with the peculiar legal and seemingly bad luck faced by George in his directorial process, the film was plagued in its own right due to a scene being shot that inadvertently resulted in a local seeing the filming of the conclusion of the movie in which Col. Peckem removes his clothing to decontaminate prior to evacuating the area. The “traumatic” experience of seeing a nude man resulted in a lawyer being hired to resolve the situation. One off remake aside, the film has stood the test of time, and is truly candy for the undying horror buff that needs to indulge in the sweeter moments of George A. Romero’s incomparable legacy.

“Okay, Colonel Peckem, last test is negative. You're all clean, virus free. We can sign you out. The helicopter will be arriving in a few minutes. “ –Army Doctor


I Love this movie! The realistic feel I get from it is extremely creepy!

On this day in Horror History, Fido made it's theatrical debut. As close to a family film as a zombie movie could ever hope to achieve, the sheer humor of seeing the facet of years of the genre, in the light of the typical family’s dog in the Horror/Comedy masterpiece, is flawless. From the imagery of a young boy trying to play catch with a zombie, who doesn’t react when a baseball hits him in the face, to the everyday applications were domesticated cannibals could be implemented, this film was an instant classic.

Fido is still shroud in financial loss, with no help from an 8 million dollar budget and all star cast. Fido was a hit among many film festivals including the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival and the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, giving much hope to its investors. Most critics loved it, but with a US gross of $298,110 and a worldwide gross of $419,801, the gross revenue of Fido didn’t even make a tenth of its budgets invested in film. What resulted was statistically, one of the lowest return on investments cataloged by any film of all time, per Box Office Mojo’s website. In other words, thank you Andrew Currie and all investors in the movie, because you paid 7 million dollars out of pocket, to give us perhaps the most distinct and beautiful additions to modern Cinema.

On this day in Horror History, Howard Phillips Lovecraft passed away. More commonly known by his pen name H.P. Lovecraft, the works of the literary genius have inspired and intertwined with hundreds of films in the last decade, and thousands of popular culture mediums have paid homage to the brilliance in the macabre that was seemingly fluid to the American Author. Everything from film to music, video games to artists worldwide have been impacted by the tales of Cthulhu and mythology behind the ageless sagas which has become home for horror and science fiction aficionados since Lovecraft’s passing unto today. A life cut short by cancer, it was the perilous disease that would attack Lovecraft’s small intestine and take the author from the awestruck world. Lost but never forgotten, he will always be the irrefutable father of horror, and the mind at which a legacy was born.

“From even the greatest of horrors, irony is seldom absent.”- H.P Lovecraft

On this day in Horror History, David Cronenberg was born. The mind behind such films as They Came from Within (1975), Rabid (1977), Scanners (1981), Videodrome (1983), and The Fly (1986), Cronenberg has become a staple of the horror industry. Given such suitable nicknames as “King of Venereal Horror” and the “Baron of Blood”, Cronenberg has established a following with his eclectic inspirations within film, from the gore and mutant nature to crime and psychological thrillers which have gained fan bases in other genres. A living legend, even with countless cult masterpieces under his belt the Canadian born film-maker will certainly go on to awe us for years to come.

“Civilization is repression. You don't get civilization without repression of the unconscious, of the id. And the basic appeal of art is to the unconscious. Therefore, art is somewhat subversive of civilization. And yet at the same time it seems necessary for civilization. You don't get civilization without art.”- David Cronenberg

On this day in Horror History, Lucio Fulci passed away. Considered to be one of the Godfathers of Gore, Fulci is by far one of the most influential and celebrated Italian film makers of all time, having given the world cult classics such as the Zombi franchise, and City of the Living Dead. Truly a visionary in his implementation of gore and the elegance of fear, something he preyed upon as he would rapidly zoom in on victims eyes as they were being eviscerated. Fulci’s brilliance as a director has been widely celebrated, he lived to see his films achieve cult fame and rightfully so. After living a life suffering from diabetes, it was during production of The Wax Mask (1997) with Dario Argento, that Fulci had supposedly forgotten to take his insulin before bed and passed away in his sleep. Widely considered to be a suicide, Fulci’s life ended tragically but not without giving horror fans a legacy of monumental proportion, and some of the most amazingly poetic films of all time.

“I am not a criminal because I make horror films. A lot of Italian genre directors are animal lovers. Mario Bava loved cats, Riccardo Freda loves horses, and Dario Argento loves himself.” –Lucio Fulci

National Alfred Hitchcock Day

March 12, 2013
Today is National Alfred Hitchcock Day, a celebration of the life and legacy of one of the most profoundly brilliant directors in history. Alfred Joseph Hitchcock will always be an undeniable forefather not just the horror genre, but many cinematic elements in their entirety. Bending social standards of what was acceptable to be seen in theatres and never shying away from letting his talent and vision tear its way into the eyes of film-goers worldwide, Hitchcock’s career gave us some of the most quintessential movies including Psycho (1960) and The Birds (1963). An inspiration to so many, and blood in the hearts of Horror Fans, Hitchcock will live on within everyone who has delved into the mind of the directorial genius.

“Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual.” –Alfred Hitchcock

On this day in Horror History, Friedrich Wilhelm "F. W." Murnau passed away. As one of the most influential and groundbreaking film-makers of the silent film era, Murnau’s directorial masterpiece Nosferatu(1922) was the unlicensed adaption of the Bram Stoker classic “Dracula” and the predecessor to every vampire film ever made. Cut from another cloth than most directors throughout cinematic history, it was the talent and vision that Murnau embodied that would help shape the future of horror for the rest of time. His ability to convey such sinister and powerfully terrifying emotion in film without the spoken work is a ability that would forever make him one of the most brilliant directorial geniuses in recorded history.

"I think films of the future will use more and more of these 'camera angles', or, as I prefer to call them, these 'dramatic angles'. They help photograph thought." - F.W. Murnau

Upcoming Movies: V/H/S 2

In case you haven't heard of or seen V/H/S I'll explain it in the best way I can (no kids im not talking about what was around before DVDs)

V/H/S  is an anthology horror film that was released in various ways throughout 2012, It featured  five stories and 1 frame narrative all filmed to look like it is on a VHS tape and each being directed by a different person or group.

Personally I loved V/H/S, it was truly a masterpiece!!

So I was excited when I heard about a sequel!!

 Here is the V/H/S 2 trailer

Synopsis:  "In the film directed by Simon Barrett, Adam Wingard, Gareth Evans, Eduardo Sanchez, Gregg Hale, Jason Eisener and Timo Tjahjanto, “Searching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his abandoned house, which contains another collection of mysterious VHS tapes. In viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be terrifying motives behind the student’s disappearance.”- Bloody Disgusting.

Judging by the trailer i am assuming that V/H/S 2 will follow the same fashion as V/H/S.

So far V/H/S 2 has premiered at Sundance and SXSW.

As of yesterday Magnet Releasing has announced that V/H/S 2 will be out on Video on demand platforms  on June 6th 2013 and a limited theatrical release on July 12th 2013

Currently the first V/H/S is on Netflix instant video and Amazon instant video to rent for $3.99, Buy for 14.99, or free if  you're a amazon prime member

On this day in Horror History, Children of the Corn made its theatrical debut. One of the many classic film adaptations of Stephen King’s works, the ’84 release depicting the cult of Nebraskan children and their slaughter of everyone over the age of 18, has become a quintessential motion picture utilizing children as antagonists in horror. In the vein of genre classics with similar elements, Children of the Corn has resonated with audiences throughout several non-successful sequels and nearly two decades, forever a reminder of the terror that lies within the innocence of a child.

“Don't just stand there! Seize him! Punish him! The Lord has chosen me as the bringer of His word and the giver of His laws! Disobedience to me is disobedience to Him! Do it now, or your punishment shall be a thousand deaths, each more horrible than the last!” –Isaac
