Killer Clown Film ‘Crepitus’ Brewing an Appropriately Creepy Custom Beer

Published

on

Crepitus beer

Two of my greatest passions are indie horror movies and deliciously spooktacular alcoholic beverages, so of course I’m thrilled to share this new announcement. Mackinaw Trail Winery, based out of Petoskey, MI, is releasing a new themed beer for the upcoming killer clown flick, Crepitus.

The beer will be blood red in color (perfectly suited for a cannibal clown) and feature an artist’s rendition of the titular killer on the label. The beer is specially crafted by Mackinaw Trial brewmaster, Theodore Monroe.

Horror-inspired wine and beer products are perfect for the curious connoisseur or creepy collector. This is a fact. This creepy brew is a limited collectors edition – only 600 (numbered) bottles will be available – so if you’re interested, you’d better keep an eye out.

With Crepitus in the final stages of post production, the beer is currently brewing. You can follow the movie’s Facebook page for blood red beer updates and the upcoming release date for the film itself.

Crepitus began production after a successful Indiegogo campaign (started April, 2016) surpassed its goal. The funds were used to help the film’s producers to lock down their dream lead, Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, Repo! The Generic Opera, Halloween).

The film was directed by Haynze Whitmore, with a screenplay written by Eddie and Sarah Renner. The plot synopsis is as follows:

“Seventeen year old Elizabeth and her younger sister Sam are thrust into circumstances more terrifying than life with their abusive, drunken mother when they are forced to move into their deceased Grandfather’s house. Frightened beyond belief, they are forced to learn horrible things about their family history. Never mind the ghosts in the house, there is something far worse that takes an interest in them … a cannibalistic clown named Crepitus.”

Crepitus also stars Chalet Brannan (Cyborg X, Star Trek: Captain Pike, The Sparrows), Eve Mauro (Cyborg X, Dexter, CSI Miami), Caitlin Williams, Lance Paul, Darren Barcomb, and Johnny Stevenson.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
