Death Threats Lead Josh McDermitt to Deactivate All Social Media

Published

on

People are really passionate about the things they love, but some people take it too far and ruin it for the rest of us. Such is the case for Josh McDermitt who plays Eugene on The Walking Dead. Here’s a spoiler alert for all of those who aren’t caught up on TWD.

In the season 7 finale, Eugene proudly declares that he is not Eugene, but Negan, therefore showing the Alexandrianites that he has turned to the dark side and was voluntarily staying with The Saviors. Since then Josh has been hit hard with harassment.

You read that right. Josh, the actual person who plays a fictional character in a fictional story has been receiving harassment and actual death threats for what his character was doing on a show. According to Inquisitr all social media accounts have been deleted.

Fans and supporters of Josh McDermitt are devastated at the news due to his funny posts and inside pictures. According to Comicbook.com, McDermitt posted a video in his social media before the deactivation. The transcript states:

“Death threats, don’t send me death threats, because I will report all that s— to the cops. I’m just sick of it. You can hate Eugene, I don’t care. You can think whatever you want but when you start saying you hope I die, I don’t know if you’re talking about Josh or Eugene. I gotta report that s—, so, just don’t be an a—hole. And just stop complaining. Just stop complaining about everything on the Internet. Just go spend time with your family or friends or loved ones. Just get off the Internet. I love you, I do. I love you guys.”

It’s a shame that a handful of fans who can’t distinguish fiction and reality not only ruins it for the remaining fans, but also makes a real persons life fearful and hurtful.

Remember guys, it’s just a show. Love or hate the character, the actor is just that…an actor. For such an awesome person to get dragged through the mud for the actions of his fictional character is just too much.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
