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.”

‘Ready or Not’: Radio Silence Filmmakers Tease the “Absolute Banger” of a Sequel That’s Taking Shape
It was first reported a couple weeks ago that Ready or Not 2 is now in development, with Adam Robitel (The Taking of Deborah Logan, Insidious: The Last Key, Escape Room, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions) in talks to direct the sequel to the 2019 box office hit. Additionally, we had learned that Samara Weaving would be returning to star.
Entertainment Weekly caught up with Ready or Not directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin in the wake of those reports, and we’ve now got an update straight from the source.
“It’s getting figured out. That’s what we’ll say: Ready or Not 2 is getting figured out,” Gillett tells EW, confirming last month’s report. “What we can say is that there is a script that is an absolute fucking banger of a sequel. And however it gets made, and in whatever capacity we are helping get it made, we are so excited that it’s happening.”
“I don’t think we knew after making [Ready or Not] that there would be so much story left to tell,” Gillett continues. “We’re so proud of what that first movie is, we’re so proud of what the sequel is. We’re just really excited, and fingers crossed that it gets made.” Bettinelli-Olpin adds, “And with Searchlight and Samara, they’re not gonna let it down.”
The first film introduced a mythology wherein the wealthy Le Domas family has made a deal with the devil, one that requires them to take part in bizarre – and deadly – wedding night traditions. There’s much that can be done with the premise going forward, even if the first movie ended with Weaving’s Grace massacring the family and burning down their estate.
Wikipedia reminds, “The sole survivor of the night, Grace walks out of the burning manor just as the police arrive. Upon asking her what happened, she simply replies: in-laws.”
