Published

on

Here is some pretty cool casting for Rob Zombie’s H2, which is now filming in Georgia. “Dayton (DEADWOOD) Callie has joined the cast of Halloween 2 as Coroner Alan Hooks,” writes Zombie. In addition, Richard Brake (Perkins’ 14, Doom, Outpost) has also joined the cast as Gary Scott, “a corpse fucking obsessed coroner’s assistant.” The new film picks up right as the first remake ended, following the aftermath of Michael Myers’ murderous rampage through the eyes of the sister he hunted. Dimension plans on releasing the film August 28th, 2009.

In just over two more weeks, Lionsgate will be back in theaters with The Strangers: Chapter 1, the first film in a brand new reboot trilogy from director Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master, Deep Blue Sea). It’s coming to theaters May 17, 2024.

Madelaine Petsch (“Riverdale”), Froy Gutierrez (Hocus Pocus 2), Rachel Shenton (The Silent Child), Ema Horvath (“Rings of Power”) and Gabe Basso (Hillbilly Elegy) star.

When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they’re forced to spend the night in a secluded Airbnb, where they are terrorized from dusk till dawn by three masked strangers.

Here’s the full official synopsis: “After their car breaks down in an eerie small town, a young couple are forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorized by three masked strangers who strike with no mercy and seemingly no motive.”

The first film took place in a remote house in the woods while the sequel brought the murderous Man in the Mask, Dollface and Pinup Girl into a trailer park.
