[New Bites] Rare ‘American Werewolf in London’ Storyboards, New One Sheets For ‘The Thing’ and ‘Afraid of the Dark’, NY ‘Shining’ Screening Update
Website IMPAwards posted two new one sheets, the first being a Russian quad for Universal Pictures’ The Thing prequel, which hits theaters October 14. And while already released, we thought this new one sheet for Troy Nixey’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark was pretty badass. Dig on ’em both inside.
I hate to burst your bubble, but those of you in New York will NOT be seeing a special uncut screening of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, so says website Daily Dead. “It has come to our attention the print of the film we will be showing does not in fact have the two-minute final scene that Mr. Kubrick cut following the film’s initial screenings. The version of ‘The Shining’ screening at Eastman House will be the 142-minute extended U.S. version that includes footage Mr. Kubrick subsequently cut from the European release.” BOOOOOOOOO HISSSSSSS.
Fantastic Fest attendees were treated to an extra special event over the weekend: they had the chance to view a pristine 35mm copy of John Landis’ horror comedy classic An American Werewolf in London with acclaimed special effects master, Rick Baker, in attendance. Post mortem, website Badass Digest scored a series of rare storyboards featuring the infamous transformation David Kessler (played by David Naughton) goes through.

The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
