on

Horror director Ti West is back behind cameras once again in Connecticut as he’s begun rolling his supernatural chiller, The Innkeepers, at the Yankee Pedlar Inn on Main Street. Last House on the Left‘s Sara Paxton will be starring as a hotel clerk alongside Pat Healy (Snow Angels, “Six Feet under”). Kelly McGillis (Stake Land, Top Gun) landed the starring role as a hotel guest. George Riddle also stars. The pic is about the last two staffers (Paxton and Healy) of a haunted hotel that’s going out of business. Check out the official synopsis below. The film is produced by Dark Sky Films and Larry Fessenden’s Glass Eye Pix. Ti West’s past films include The House of the Devil, The Roost and Cabin Fever 2.
THE INNKEEPERS is centered around the final two employees working in a haunted hotel before it goes out of business. After over one hundred years in business, The Yankee Pedlar Hotel is about to close its doors for good. The last remaining clerks, Claire (Sara Paxton), a twenty something that has come to terms with her lot in life, and Luke (Pat Healy), a computer-smart loner, are convinced that the hotel is haunted and are determined to prove it. As time ticks down to the final days of operation, mysterious guests check in including Leanne Rease-Jones (Kelly McGillis), a former TV actress turned psychic, and an old man insistent on staying in room 353. As several strange occurrences begin to add up, both Claire and Luke must make the crucial decision on what to believe and what not to believe…

Five Nights at Freddy's Animatronics

Blumhouse has announced a trio of upcoming horror movie release dates today, the first of which is the official date for the sequel to hit video game movie Five Nights at Freddy’s.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 will release in theaters December 5, 2025.

Released in theaters and available for streaming on Peacock on the same day, the Emma Tammi-directed Five Night’s at Freddy’s was Blumhouse’s highest grossing movie of all time. In other words, it’s no surprise that the sequel was quickly greenlit.

In last year’s horror movie, “After accepting a security guard job from Steve (Matthew LillardScream, Scooby Doo), Mike (Josh HutchersonThe Hunger Games Franchise) discovers an abandoned restaurant may actually be haunted by murderous animatronics.”


M3GAN

Two other upcoming Blumhouse sequels have also received new dates, with M3GAN 2.0 now coming to theaters on June 27, 2025, previously announced for May 16, 2025.

Allison Williams and Violet McGraw are back for the sequel, with Akela Cooper (Malignant, M3GAN) once again writing the script and James Wan on board to produce.

And then there’s The Black Phone 2, which had been set for theatrical release on June 27, 2025. That date taken by M3GAN’s sequel, it’s now releasing October 17, 2025.

Ethan Hawke will be back as The Grabber, with Mason Thames (How to Train Your Dragon, Incoming), Madeleine McGraw (Toy Story 4Secrets of Sulphur Springs), Jeremy Davies (Justified) and Miguel Mora (The Black Phone) also set to return.

Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill will be writing and producing the upcoming sequel.
