We all know the story of The Wizard of Oz. Dorothy gets hit in the head during a tornado in Kansas and wakes up in the Land of Oz. The only way she can get back from this fantasy land is to tap the heels of her ruby slippers three times and say, “There’s no place like home.”
But what happened after Dorothy Gale (Karen Swan) got home? Well, she had a daughter she lost touch with and a granddaughter she never knew.
Her orphaned granddaughter, Emily Gale (Chloë Culligan Crump), discovered a book her grandmother wrote many years ago, and now she is starting to have dreams just like her grandmother did.
Emily decides to meet her long-lost grandmother to find out how to make her dreams stop. But all the deranged Dorothy tells her is to stay away from Oz.
Unfortunately, for Emily, that isn’t possible because her therapist keeps putting her under to find out what her dreams are about. What happens when she goes to Oz this time?
Emily encounters someone from Dorothy’s past, and let’s just say she is trapped there because of her grandmother.
Will she be able to click her heels three times and get home? You will have to watch it on the Chilling app to find out. And you are going to want to see how this short, suspenseful story, directed by Daniel Alexander, ends.
There is a lot of blood going to waste in Saw X, so Lionsgate wants your blood to make up for it.
So they are holding blood drives in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Washington DC from today until the release of Saw X on September 29th.
To find out when and where you can donate, then check out Audacy.
If you can donate, please consider doing it. There is a national blood shortage, and it has been a slow month at the Red Cross, according to my phlebotomist. Since we live in a country that is always waiting for the next mass shooting or Jigsaw rampage, we cannot have our blood supply reach critical levels. It will take less than half an hour, and you can save a life.
I donate platelets; it takes longer, but you can watch a movie like one of the Saws during the procedure.
So give blood, or you might meet Jigsaw in a dark room with several other strangers fighting for your life. And there might not be any blood left to save you…
Now that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was a huge success, we are going to see more kids’ stories being turned into Horror movies. The first two to join the club are the nursery rhymes Mary Had a Little Lamb and Three Blind Mice.
Mary Has a Little Lamb follows a radio host and her crew set out to discover the truth behind some disappearances for a true crime show. They will soon learn that there is far more to discover when they meet Mary and her lamb. Who will make it out alive of this house of horrors?
Three Blind Mice (which is already a sick and twisted song) tells the tale of Abi going cold turkey; her family has taken her to a cabin in the woods so she can be away from the city and all her troubles. However, little do they know that the Three Blind Mice is more than just a fairy tale, and they may be next up on the menu.
And after watching those trailers, I am rooting for the Lamb and the Blind Mice! I think it would’ve been smarter if they made the creatures cuter and less grotesque. Either way, I am still going to see both movies because I am a sucker for seeing my childhood memories get screwed over.
Uncork’d Entertainment is releasing Mary on October 3rd and Three Blind Mice on the 17th.
I love so bad their awesome Horror movies, so I have seen it all. I have seen films with a Killer Sofa, a Killer Pinata, Killer Kites, Killer Tomatoes, Killer Rack (breast implants), Killer teddy Bears, Killer Donuts, and many more killer objects.
But I have never seen one with killer trashcans. But that is going to change because Wild Eye Releasing is distributing a feature called Trashcans of Terror.
After a chance encounter with a female bodybuilder – who is also an alien – loner and reluctant hero Percy “Spider” Leibowitz falls madly in love. She soon goes missing, and he turns to his military pal to find her and battle the army of deadly, intergalactic trash cans who he thinks are responsible – trashcans that also happen to be hell bent on taking over earth.
This wildly obscure, never-released 1980s homemade sci-fi opus from Oregon’s Chuck Handy is stunningly hypnotizing in its simplicity and weirdness, dropping you into a lo-res otherworld.
It might’ve taken almost 40 years for this 1985 film to get wide distribution. But good things come to those who wait!
Side note: All of the Killer movies are available to stream on Tubi for free until Trashcans of Terror comes out.
The Scream franchise came back from hiatus in a big way with Scream 5 and Scream 6. So after two successful movies, it should be no surprise that they want to do another one.
Christopher Landon, who made us laugh and scream with the Happy Death Day movies and Freaky, made an announcement today. “Looks like 7 really is a lucky number,” he wrote. “More to come…”
This news made me scream. I don’t like most of the current Horror movies that make it to the big screen these days. But I really enjoy Landon’s films and the Scream ones. So I can’t wait to see what this merger gives us.
