For over 20 years, Jigsaw has terrified Horror fans. But it looks like his days of riding a tricycle might have unceremoniously come to an end.
According to what a source told Bloody Disgusting, Saw Xi is “totally dead. It’s 100% over. Almost a year now.”
Saw XI was slated to be released on September 27, 2004. But then it was delayed a year. And today comes word that the sequel has made like one of Jigsaw’s victims.
What happened? The source told BD that the two producers started fighting. One tried to go ahead with production, but the other one stopped it. And Lionsgate was powerless to get them back on track.
Therefore, ending the franchise’s run without a proper ending. But that is what happens when a franchise goes on too long. Jason Vorhees and Freddy Krueger never got their endings either. I know because I am still waiting for that to happen. Halloween is one of the rare franchises that got its finale.
Are you upset that Saw was cancelled? As someone who loves Horror, I have always hated the Saw movies. So, I saw good riddance.
There is a little thing called the public domain. That is when something from the art or entertainment would ages out of copyright and it can be used by anyone at no cost.
In the last few years, Mickey Mouse’s Steamboat Willie and Winnie-the-Pooh became part of the public domain and have found themselves being used in several Horror movies.
Coming soon, the two fictional characters are coming to life to kill people in The Dark Domain: MVW Mickey-Vs-Winnie.
Set in the 1920s, the plot kicks off with a disturbing narrative about two convicts who escape into a cursed forest, only to be swallowed by its dark essence. Fast forward a hundred years, and the story picks up with a group of thrill-seeking friends whose nature getaway goes horribly wrong. They accidentally venture into the same cursed woods, finding themselves face-to-face with the now monstrous versions of Mickey and Winnie. What follows is a night filled with terror, as these beloved characters mutate into horrifying adversaries, unleashing a frenzy of violence and bloodshed.
The film is written and directed by Emmy-nominated choreographer Glenn Douglas Packard.
Who do you think will make it to the credits: the mouse or the bear? Or do you think that they will become Wilnie or Winlie?
Several of our childhood characters have been reimagined into Horror movies. But it is not their true origin stories.
On April 8th, that will change with Rumpelstiltskin. The villain’s story was a dark one written by the Brothers Grimm, so it makes sense that there is not much that needs to be changed.
Rumpelstiltskin tells the story of a young woman who makes a deal she comes to regret with a mysterious creature. Here we take the story that creeped you out as a kid and turn it into a full-blown medieval folk-horror nightmare.
And Andy Edwards captured that medieval folk-horror nightmare with the way they made Rumpelstiltskin come to life. He looks just like I imagined, and that makes the movie so much creepier.
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.
