Close to a month ago, horror film/rockstar Rob Zombie announced that he would begin filming on the sequel to Devil’s Reject’s, titled 3 From Hell.

Fans were elated to hear that the long awaited sequel was finally underway. The announcement came in conjunction with the (expected) confirmation that Bill Moseley and Sheri Moon would be reclaiming their roles as Otis and Baby.

Since then, a slew of casting confirmations have been announced, so it seemed like a good time to break down all of the confirmed actors in one article.

3 From Hell (most importantly) will feature the return of Danny Trejo (Machete, Predators) and Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects) as their characters Rondo and Captain Spaulding. Joining the two hellions are Clint Howard (Apollo 13, The Waterboy) as Mr. Baggy Britches, Sylvia Jefferies (Halloween II) as Heather Starship Galen, and Bill Osbert Jr. (Scream Queens) as Tony Commando.

Zombie’s 3 From Hell will also star some familiar faces from the cast of 31, such as Daniel Roebuck as Morris Green, Kevin Jackson as Gerard James, and–while they have no character names yet–Jeff Daniel Phillips (also seen in Zombie’s The Lords of Salem), David Ury, and “Sick-Head the Nazi clown,” Pancho Moler.

The cast of (currently) unnamed characters also include Dee Wallace (Critters, Cujo), Dot-Marie Jones (American Horror Story, Married With Children), Richard Riehle (Office Space, Contracted Phase II), comedian Tom Papa, and Austin Stoker (Assault on Precinct 13).

Additionally, while the IMDB cast list has not been updated to include him, Rob Zombie has confirmed (via Instagram) that Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) will be joining the cast.

Zombie is set to be the sole writer of the movie. He will be back in the director’s chair and will hopefully have a major hand in the music score of the film. No confirmation of a release date for 3 From Hell has been disclosed yet, but we’ll be keeping an ear to the ground for any new details.

Fans of Rob Zombie’s foray into genre film seem to be more excited for the Firefly clan’s return in 3 From Hell than they were for his reboot of Halloween 1&2, which have received mixed reactions from horror fans.

In the end, it may be a blessing that Jamie Lee Curtis and Carpenter have returned to focus on resurrecting Myers in a new Halloween installment. But is it fair to ask ourselves “Is Jaime Lee Curtis up for combating Myers again?” Our own Timothy Rawles takes the time to answer that question in his article about Curtis returning as Laurie.

It’s been three long years since Netflix unleashed the bloody, but enjoyable Fear Street on its platform. Released in a tryptic fashion, the streamer broke up the story into three episodes, each taking place in a different decade which by the finale were all tied together.

Now, the streamer is in production for its sequel Fear Street: Prom Queen which brings the story into the 80s. Netflix gives a synopsis of what to expect from Prom Queen on their blog site Tudum:

“Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.”

Based on R.L. Stine’s massive series of Fear Street novels and spin-offs, this chapter is number 15 in the series and was published in 1992.

Fear Street: Prom Queen features a killer ensemble cast, including India Fowler (The Nevers, Insomnia), Suzanna Son (Red Rocket, The Idol), Fina Strazza (Paper Girls, Above the Shadows), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty, Cinnamon), Ella Rubin (The Idea of You), Chris Klein (Sweet Magnolias, American Pie), Lili Taylor (Outer Range, Manhunt) and Katherine Waterston (The End We Start From, Perry Mason).

No word on when Netflix will drop the series into its catalog.

Live Action Scooby-Doo Reboot Series In Works at Netflix

The ghosthunting Great Dane with an anxiety problem, Scooby-Doo, is getting a reboot and Netflix is picking up the tab. Variety is reporting that the iconic show is becoming an hour-long series for the streamer although no details have been confirmed. In fact, Netflix execs declined to comment.

If the project is a go, this would be the first live-action movie based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon since 2018’s Daphne & Velma. Before that, there were two theatrical live-action movies, Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), then two sequels that premiered on The Cartoon Network.

Currently, the adult-oriented Velma is streaming on Max.

Scooby-Doo originated in 1969 under the creative team Hanna-Barbera. The cartoon follows a group of teenagers who investigate supernatural happenings. Known as Mystery Inc., the crew consists of Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers, and his best friend, a talking dog named Scooby-Doo.

Normally the episodes revealed the hauntings they encountered were hoaxes developed by land-owners or other nefarious characters hoping to scare people away from their properties. The original TV series named Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! ran from 1969 to 1986. It was so successful that movie stars and pop culture icons would make guest appearances as themselves in the series.

Celebrities such as Sonny & Cher, KISS, Don Knotts, and The Harlem Globetrotters made cameos as did Vincent Price who portrayed Vincent Van Ghoul in a few episodes.
