On the heels of yesterday’s jaw-dropping Super Bowl teaser trailer for the second season of the Netflix treasure Stranger Things, we now have more news which may or may not be in regards to one of the best things to come out of the movie streaming service in recent memory.

The casting call bulletin site Project Casting, has just put out an announcement per Casting TaylorMade, that casting directors are looking for particular kid actors for “very featured roles for a popular Netflix series set it in the 1980s.” They aren’t specifically stating that is indeed for Stranger Things. However, it’s a bit to hard to convince me otherwise that it isn’t for the nostalgia-induced, series smash.

 

The casting directors are looking for kid actors that fit their criteria in the state of Georgia in particular. Which in the case you may not know, Jackson, Georgia serves as the stand-in backdrop for the faux city of Hawkins, Indiana in Stranger Things. And again with season two, the cast and crew are returning to the city that sits about 50 miles southeast of Atlanta for filming. Also note, many times these casting call companies refrain from mentioning the name of the project when putting out bulletins for roles in an attempt to garner a more authentic audition in the selection process.

 

Per the announcement, casting directors are searching for Indian girls ages 8 to 10 years old with acting experience, along with identical toddler girls. The site notes that filming will take place in early February.

 

Here’s the rundown in specifics:

1) INDIAN GIRL AGE 8-10 YEARS OF AGE
MORE DETAILS WILL BE GIVEN IF WE ARE INTERESTED IN AUDITIONING YOUR CHILD.
ACTING EXPERIENCE IS A PLUS (BUT NO NECESSARY), PLEASE INCLUDE ANY EXPERIENCE OR TRAINING IN YOUR EMAIL.
SHOOT DATE: THURSDAY, 2/9 AND/OR FRIDAY, 2/10
LOCATION: TBD, ATLANTA, GA OR SURROUNDING CITIES
FITTING DATE: MONDAY OR TUESDAY (next week)
SUBJECT LINE: INDIAN GIRL

2) BRUNETTE TODDLER IDENTICAL TWIN GIRLS
IDENTICAL TWIN TODDLER GIRLS / BRUNETTE HAIR / AGES 1.5 – 3 YEARS OF AGE / MUST BE ABLE TO WALK!
MORE DETAILS WILL BE GIVEN IF WE ARE INTERESTED IN USING THEM FOR THIS.
LOCATION: TBD, ATLANTA, GA OR SURROUNDING CITIES
SHOOT DATE: THURSDAY, 2/9 AND/OR FRIDAY, 2/10
FITTING DATE: MONDAY OR TUESDAY (next week)
SUBJECT LINE: BRUNETTE TWINS

 

If your children fit this criteria and again, are Georgia based, then your little spawn(s), could be possibly saving humanity from the Thessalhydra alongside Eleven and friends if this announcement is indeed connected to Stranger Things; and it pretty much looks like it is. Submissions should be via email to [email protected] with the proper documentation. You can view the entire announcement and what you will need to apply by clicking here.

The Top-Searched Free Horror/Action Movies on Tubi This Week

Published

on

The free streaming service Tubi is a great place to scroll when you’re unsure what to watch. They are not sponsored or affiliated with iHorror. Still, we really appreciate their library because it’s so robust and has many obscure horror movies so rare you can’t find them anywhere in the wild except, if you’re lucky, in a moist cardboard box at a yard sale. Other than Tubi, where else are you going to find Nightwish (1990), Spookies (1986), or The Power (1984)?

We take a look at the most searched horror titles on the platform this week, hopefully, to save you some time in your endeavor to find something free to watch on Tubi.

Interestingly at the top of the list is one of the most polarizing sequels ever made, the female-led Ghostbusters reboot from 2016. Perhaps viewers have seen the latest sequel Frozen Empire and are curious about this franchise anomaly. They will be happy to know it’s not as bad as some think and is genuinely funny in spots.

So take a look at the list below and tell us if you are interested in any of them this weekend.

Morticia & Wednesday Addams Join Monster High Skullector Series

Published

on

Believe it or not, Mattel’s Monster High doll brand has an immense following with both young and not-so-young collectors. 

In that same vein, the fan base for The Addams Family is also very large. Now, the two are collaborating to create a line of collectible dolls that celebrate both worlds and what they have created is a combination of fashion dolls and goth fantasy. Forget Barbie, these ladies know who they are.

The dolls are based on Morticia and Wednesday Addams from the 2019 Addams Family animated movie. 

As with any niche collectibles these aren’t cheap they bring with them a $90 price tag, but it’s an investment as a lot of these toys become more valuable over time. 

“There goes the neighborhood. Meet the Addams Family’s ghoulishly glamorous mother-daughter duo with a Monster High twist. Inspired by the animated movie and clad in spiderweb lace and skull prints, the Morticia and Wednesday Addams Skullector doll two-pack makes for a gift that’s so macabre, it’s downright pathological.”

If you want to pre-purchase this set check out The Monster High website.

1994’s ‘The Crow’ Coming Back to Theaters for A New Special Engagement

Published

on

The Crow

Cinemark recently announced that they will be bringing The Crow back from the dead once again. This announcement comes just in time for the film’s 30th anniversary. Cinemark will be playing The Crow in select theaters on May 29th and 30th.

For those unaware, The Crow is a fantastic film based on the gritty graphic novel by James O’Barr. Widely considered one of the best films of the 90s, The Crow’s lifespan was cut short when Brandon Lee died of an accidental on set shooting.

The official synapsis of the film is as follows. “The modern-gothic original that entranced audiences and critics alike, The Crow tells the tale of a young musician brutally murdered alongside his beloved fiancée, only to be risen from the grave by a mysterious crow. Seeking revenge, he battles a criminal underground that must answer for its crimes. Adapted from the comic book saga of the same name, this action-packed thriller from director Alex Proyas (Dark City) features hypnotic style, dazzling visuals, and a soulful performance by the late Brandon Lee.”

The Crow

The timing of this release couldn’t be better. As a new generation of fans eagerly awaits the release of The Crow remake, they can now see the classic film in all of its glory. As much as we love Bill Skarsgard (IT), there is something timeless in Brandon Lee’s performance in the film.

This theatrical release is part of the Scream Greats series. This is a collaboration between Paramount Scares and Fangoria to bring audiences some of the best classic horror films. So far, they are doing a fantastic job.

That’s all the information we have at this time. Make sure to check back here for more news and updates.
