Screaming Horror

*****                                    *****                    *****

The Flood

• ‘The Flood’ Brings on Plenty of Blood Thirsty Alligators
• Alligator movies are always a riot. Sure, shark films are the more lauded of the two, but alligator pictures bring a certain level of fear with them that isn’t lent to the world of sharks.
• The Flood goes like this: “A horde of giant hungry alligators is unleashed on a group of in-transit prisoners and their guards after a massive hurricane floods Louisiana.”

*****                                    *****                    *****

The Meg 2: The Trench

• Reveals Trailer Filled With a Lot of Megs and Dinosaurs Getting Eaten
• Perhaps most notably, is that this time around the trench that is opened up has all kinds of prehistoric monsters that includes the mighty Meg and several of her kiddos who are equally as big and hungry. The Meg: The Trench is looking fantastic in the way that the Fast and Furious films look brilliant. This is over the top action with a whole lot of silly physics being thrown in for fun.

No Way Up

• Plane Crash/Shark Movie From ’47 Meters Down’ Execs
• a new shark movie, which is also a disaster movie from the executive producers of 47 Meters Down. Now before you guffaw at this latest attempt at Jaws, take a look at who is directing it.
• “No Way Up is a high concept combination of disaster movie and survival thriller, as characters from very different backgrounds are thrown together when the plane they’re travelling on crashes into the Pacific Ocean.
• The stricken airliner comes to rest perilously close to the edge of a bottomless ravine with the surviving passengers and crew trapped in an air pocket. With their air supply rapidly running out, a nightmare fight for survival ensues as dangers from all sides hone-in on them.”

Evil Dead Rise Director

• Goes Aquatic Horror With Next Film ‘Thaw’
• Set years after the polar ice caps have melted and sea levels have risen, the story of Thaw centers on a group of survivors at sea searching for a new home. Their prayers are answered with the discovery of an inhabitable town, that is, until they encounter a new nightmare living just below the water’s surface.

Passage of Florida bill SB-1438

• Fighting Furries
• Megaplex, a furry convention dedicated to the art of making and wearing costumes of anthropomorphic characters based in Orlando, has announced it will have to raise an age restriction in response to Florida SB 1438,
• Makes “knowingly admitting a child to an adult live performance” a first-degree misdemeanor.
• Because of its vague wording, it makes sense that a furry convention would be naturally cautious
• Curious, does it affect Cosplay at horror conventions? Halloween Attractions? Trick or Treating?

Cinderella’s Curse

• A Blood-Soaked Retelling of the Classic Fairytale
• Cinderella is undergoing a transformation far removed from the family friendly kind we’re accustomed to. She’ll be crossing genres in Cinderella’s Curse, an upcoming horror film.
• The screenplay is the brainchild of Harry Boxley, who penned the script for Mary Had A Little Lamb. Kelly Rian Sanson, Chrissie Wunna, and Danielle Scott are set to bring the characters to life on the screen.
