We have seen Mickey Mouse, Winnie-the-Pooh Bear, Hansel & Gretel, and the Grinch become killers in Horror movies. Later this year, they will be joined by seven fairytale Princesses and the Mad Hatter in Fairest of Them All.
The Mad Hatter has hunted down princesses from the fairytale lands; Ariel, Belle, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Snow White, Tinkerbell, and Sleeping Beauty and makes them fight in a Hunger Games-style death match. Who is the fairest of them all?
I can’t wait to watch this with my nieces as revenge for all the times they made me watch the Disney Princess movies every time I babysat.
Back to the movie. This is the latest childhood-destroying movie written by Harry Boxley. He also wrote: Jack & Jill 3, Mary Had a Little Lamb, The Madness of Humpty Dumpty, Cinderella’s Curse, Mouse of Horrors (Steamboat Willie), Piglet, and Popeye’s Revenge.
I don’t know if I should be proud or embarrassed that I have seen all of them but the last two because they just came out. My nieces will tell you the latter, which is why I am not allowed to pick the film on movie night. But I will somehow sneak this one in. Wish me luck.
Fairest of Them All will be released later this year by ITN Distribution.
The Monkey, a Horror movie written and directed by Osgood Perkins, the son of Psycho’s Norman Bates, is coming out on Friday. Therefore, he knows what makes a good on-screen killing because his father was part of one of the most memorable ones in the genre’s history.
While he might know what looks scary on camera, does he know how to make the murders look realistic? He, along with the film’s star, Theo James, sat down with two morticians and got their opinions on the different kills.
How well did they do? They did well enough to give me nightmares before I even go to the theater to see the killer clapping monkey toy do his thing.
The most terrifying part of this video is when the morticians both agree on what is “the worst smell in the world.” What is it? Dead people’s fart!
How much do you want to be that is the plot of Perkins’ next film? If it isn’t, then it should be. I would go see Killer Farts if he or someone else made it!
I just have to add the marketing for The Monkey has been brilliant. I love that they have been asking churches to screen the feature.
If someone asked me what movie I could see being shown at a church, I would probably say something like Passion of the Christ. Although I am also twisted, so I might even suggest The Exorcist.
There have been plenty of Horror movies that have taken place in churches. However, how many have been shown at one? Not that many, if any,
Neon wants to change that. So they are asking religious institutions all over the United States if they want to screen the Stephen King short story turned into a movie by Osgood Perkins, The Monkey, at their place of worship.
If you and your congregation want to be part of a first-of-kind movie experience, then submit your church here. You just have to fill out three questions telling Neon why your holy place is the best venue to show this movie.
And if your church gets chosen, then you go to a sermon on Sunday morning and watch a movie matinee without leaving the building.
That sounds like the perfect Sunday to me.
The Monkey drums its way into theaters and churches on Friday.
On January 1st, Popeye the Sailor Man went into the Public Domain, which means anyone can use his likeness without getting sued.
Because of that, there are several Horror movies being made with him as the star. We have already seen the trailer for Popeye the Slayer Man, and it looks like a lot of fun.
Now, we got the trailer for Shiver Me Timbers, which Paul Stephen Mann directs, and it looks equally as much fun! Maybe even more fun because they are in on the joke of it all.
In Northern California during the summer of 1986, Olive Oyl, along with her cinema-obsessed friends and brother Castor, embark on a once-in-a-lifetime camping trip to witness the dazzling meteor shower accompanying the arrival of Halley’s comet. But what starts as a serene evening of stargazing quickly turns into a harrowing nightmare when a meteor from the comet transforms Popeye, into a terrifying and unstoppable killing machine.
Who knew this was the Horror villain we needed? But we do, and I am so happy we have him being a killing machine. Sorry, Steamboat Willie! You have been beaten out by a man who eats spinach!
Shiver Me Timbers will be available on digital and streaming in April.
The first incarnation of Scream 7 was killed off by movie execs and not by Ghostface. Then they brought back Kevin Williamson, and he brought back Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox.
Today, Deadline is reporting that Matthew Lillard is ready to face off with Ghostface again. This is the first time that he has appeared in the franchise as Stu Macher(?) and not as a partygoer since the first film.
And it makes sense why we haven’t seen his character since the first movie because Stu seemed to have died after getting his shot to be on TV. I meant to say the TV being on him!
So, it will be interesting to see how he will return to the franchise…
