    Happy to see Fred Williamson still acting. Hopefully that movie's entertaining enough to warrant a viewing, pretty solid cast of older action stars there.

    Does anyone know what happened with Kane Hodder? I heard that he no longer chokes people at conventions.

    I hope you weren't wearing those knife gloves of yours, @DarthDimi.

    I let Jason have some fun, but now it's time for me to claim my children again. "I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy."

    Spoiler alert! It's a big twist for the series, for sure.

    Maybe it'll be a copycat. On second thoughts, don't give them ideas.

    The Halloween series is becoming as messy as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre films.

    Perhaps burning the house and buggering off wasn't such a good idea.....talk about not learning your lessons....

    The Freddy flicks were worse in that regard. By Nightmare 5, they just resurrected Freddy through some muddled dream logic. But hey, "It's a boooooooy!" instantly makes me happy again. :D

    As for Halloween, they could go copycat (Friday 5) or pretend-it's-Michael-but-then-the-real-Michael-is-comes-after-all (Hellraiser 8).

    Here's my line of thinking. I know you're all going to want to chainsaw me in half for this, or bag me up in a sleeping bag and slam me against a tree, or haunt me in my dreams or knife me in the kitchen while I'm grabbing some milk, but I still think they need to settle whatever rights issues they may still have and deliver us some crossover fun. Pinhead, Freddy, the Chuck, Leatherface, Jason, Michael, Ghostface, Norman, Jigsaw, ... all thrown in one big pot. It could work and it could be fun. Dispense with established continuities and make it a carnival of slasher killers.

    Shrugs a few points on the recent news

    if Craven's Estate does have the rights expect Blumhouse to be doing a new one in 5... 4.. 3.. 2.. well you get the idea


    And Darth I am far worse then you I am activily writing a Jaws 5 script in the hopes that my few tenuious connections to Hollywood actually manage to put it in front of a producers eyes. I am sorry if we can have 12 Friday the 13ths 10 (soon to be 12) Halloweens and what 10 nightmare on elm streets (I genuinely lost count) Jaws should at LEAST have 5 …

    And before you moan and groan my Jaws 5 that I am writing is actually trying to be a good Jaws movie rather then a cheap tiein.

    I have the fullest confidence your script will be ten times better than what Jaws 3 and The Revenge were trying to pull. :-)

    A crossover I would like to see is Djinn vs Leprechaun. It couldn't be worse than the last Wishmaster film, which is made all the more bad, because how much I love the original film (as mean spirited as it is).

    I’d be perfectly happy if most film series junked the idea of continuity anyway, but especially in horror movies.

    A bit more like how the Fu Manchu films used to be. Fu Manchu would turn up, the heroes would defeat his dastardly plot, Fu would die in an explosion or something, but in the smoke you would hear the spooky words “the world shall hear from me again” and the next film would start it all over again.

    Modern audiences don’t seem to like that approach and so movie companies have got hung up over continuity between films, but I think that’s a shame.

    Hellraisers 5 through 10 are fairly continuity-less and I think that’s why I quite like them.

    1) Very cool poster. 2) Vincent Cassel. I hope this film will be good.

    T.J. Miller can be a bit insufferable to me but I'm hopeful with the rest of the cast. I've avoided trailers for this but I love the idea behind it.

    I am really looking forward to that new Grudge film, except that I dislike the prospect of it not being set in Japan. In my opinion, The Grudge, even more so than The Ring, has to take place in Japan.

    I want this! J-horror is my thing. I hope this one will scare me like the Japanese ones did.

    I can’t wait to see Andrea Riseborough in a more mainstream film. She’s a great actress who deserves more recognition.
