Pop Skull Star Extras in ‘H2’, Talks About Experience
Pop Skull co-writer, producer and actor Lane Hughes writes in with something you Halloween fans might be interested in. Hughes, who was up for a role in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, ended up being an extra at the Phantom Jam in Haddonfield, a big party sequel in zombie’s sequel. Below you’ll find a video where he’s interviewed about his experiences, which can give you some insight into the forthcoming release arriving in theaters August 28th.
Lane Hughes writes in:
“I almost had an audition for H2 but was f*cked out of it last minute due to politics but was determined to get on set because I’m such a huge fan of the series and Rob’s music; even if it just meant being an extra.
While there I befriended two other young horror filmmakers from my own hometown I’d never met before! They have two films going to festivals soon and a vlog called “Nothing Special”. They interviewed me on the third installment which is a H2 set report. It’s a great story in true Gonzo journalism fashion.
We talk about how we got involved with H2, how we met, Pop Skull, and what we saw/experienced on the set. It’s a bit lengthy but very fun, entertaining, and informative. It’d be a great companion piece as well as an alternative angle to all the behind-the-scenes stuff Scout and other cast members are posting.”

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
