Earlier this week, I shared the trailer for Crawlers about spiders taking over a building. Today, I am sharing the trailer for Spidernado, which is about a tornado full of spiders hitting and then killing the residents of Yorkshire.
I don’t know why this is the year of the killer spiders, but it needs to stop. Spiders give me nightmares, and it is all about me.
Spidernado will spin a web around your home this month.
I consider myself to be pretty brave. However, when it comes to bugs, I am like Donald Trump when he doesn’t allegedly plan an attempted assassination. Therefore, when I watched the trailer for Crawlers, I ran under my covers and hid like I did when I was a little girl.
In CRAWLERS, a catastrophic infestation of venomous and deadly spiders sends an apartment building into lockdown. Trapped inside by a police-mandated quarantine, building manager Serena and her residents battle to survive as the creatures multiply by the second. Armed with her intimate knowledge of the complex, Serena may be the only one who can keep them alive—if she can confront her deepest fear.
While there is no way in hell I would watch this movie in theaters on October 16th (I don’t need to see them bigger than my cat on the big screen), I will watch this movie on the small screen. Because when it comes to creature features, I am a total masochist. So until then, I will be training my scaredy-cat to kill spiders. Great, now we are both under the covers, hiding from make-believe spiders.
Let’s be honest. We have all been to a Karaoke night where a singer thought they killing it, but all you wanted to do was kill their mic because they were murdering a song and your eardrums.
That is exactly what happened to directors Chris Lightbody and Robert J. Steinmiller Jr. because they made a movie about a killer Karaoke machine, Bad Karaoke.
“We were inspired to make this film after years of painful karaoke performances nearly put us in an early grave. We found that many people have had near-death karaoke experiences and we wanted to play with that idea, as well as say something profound about the state of new music. But instead, we made Bad Karaoke.”
The film is described as: “When wedding band keyboardist Emily discovers an old karaoke machine in the back of a dive bar, she thinks it will lead to a fun-filled night of singing and bonding with her bandmates.
“Unfortunately, this karaoke machine seems to have a thirst for blood. When the singing begins, so does the bloodshed. After one excellent performance appears to spare someone from the machine, the band think they have found a way to beat it. But they are quickly proved wrong, and it takes more horrifying deaths and a visit from a mysterious stranger before they realise they may have a chance at survival after all.”
Bad Karaoke is looking for a distributor, and I am sure it will find one after it premieres at Tubi FrightFest on August 30th.
Did you watch Backrooms and were like I can smell what was going on in that scene? What if I told you you could do that at home while you watched the film? You can!
a24 teamed up with Joya Scents to release a five-scent kit that you can spray during specific times of the film so that your nose can feel like it is there.
The $65 kit comes with fragrance vials, blotters, and a scent guide, and is expected to ship out in September.
I hope it does well, so that other movies will do this too. How fun would it be if you could experience the scents of the motion pictures?
Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the biggest Horror franchises of all time, and it is perfect the way it is.
However, Paramount needs a hit, so they are going through their catalog and have decided to retell Freddy Krueger’s story with the blessing of the late Wes Craven’s family.
“We look forward to bringing the world of Wes Craven’s Nightmare on Elm Street to a new and completely engaged generation of fans,” said Craven’s widow, Iya Labunka, in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “We know that Wes would have been thrilled to see how horror is taking its long overdue place in the cultural canon. We can’t wait for all of us to sit together in a dark theatre – around the campfire of today – as the next chapter of the Nightmare story unfolds.”
As someone who is a huge fan of the original movies and hated the shitty remake, I am against this. I hope that someone haunts the dreams of the executives behind this idea and convinces them not to do this.
When are the studio heads going to realize we want originality? Case in point: Obsession and Backrooms.
