iHorror Writer Spotlight: Patti Pauley
Hello fellow horror fans! This is a new category for iHorror and new is always good right? Well maybe except for remakes. But us writers at iHorror want to introduce ourselves and show that horror runs in our blood even after typing out these articles. I would like to introduce you to the girl that can make Beetlejuice at a loss for words, the frightful babe, Patti Pauley. Patti has been writing for iHorror for over a year now and is constantly stalking the Internet for more gruesome news.

Let’s start with one of the most important questions what got you into the horror genre?
“My dad and grandfather were/ are big horror nuts so I was thrown into the genre very early. My grandfather was huge on old Universal movies, and we watched them all the time together when I was young and play acted scenes from Frankenstein. He passed away. But he I think initiated it. I was immediately hooked. Then my dad took it a step further and introduced me to Freddy and the rest of the slashers from the 80s. My dad is thee man. Thanks dad for my unhealthy obsession.”
Who is your horror icon?
“It’s hard to pick just one horror icon. But if I must, Vincent Price is the man. He’s so legandary and I just love his horror flair. His voice, his movies. He’s perfection. But Elsa Lanchester (the bride of Frankenstein) Robert Englund, Elvira and Boris Karloff ranks right up there.”
How did you get involved with iHorror?
“It was almost kind of an accident. A friend of mine let me know they were looking for writers and said it was something maybe I should try. I’ve honestly never had any blogging experience. I’m just always running at the mouth about horror films. I figured for shits and giggles I’d give it a shot. Turns out I may have my niche! I really enjoy doing what I do and to be able to learn and grow here at iHorror is beyond amazing.”
What has been your favorite piece that you wrote on iHorror or do you have a favorite article by someone on the site?
“Oh, there’s been a LOT of articles I’ve done that I’m pretty proud of. But honestly, my recent 10 Of The Biggest Bitches In Horror Films was an absolute joy to write. It was a fucking blast to throw that one out there and for it to get a good response made me happy. As far as the other writers I always enjoy reading their stuff, but the Landon Evanson 5 Reasons To Re-Watch Silver Bullet made me swell up with pride and joy as I’ve never known another person to share the love of that film like I have for it.”

You have many MANY tattoos. Do you have any horror/movie related ones?
“I do have a lot. Lol. Yeah I have quite a few and all except one has been done by my husband who’s very talented and owns his own shop in Las vegas, LAST CHANCE TATTOO (iHorror note: FOR REAL CHECK OUT THEIR STUFF! AMAZING). I have blade from puppet master, the Jason Vorhees mask, pinup of the Bride of Frankenstein, Rocky Horror quote don’t dream it, be it with the infamous lips, a Jack O’ Lantern butterfly, zombie Hello Kitty and Jaws with a top hat and monocle. It had to be done. Because people fail to see what a gentleman and scholar Bruce the shark really is.”
What has been one of the most memorable moments of writing for iHorror?
“Honestly, the most memorable moment are the friends I’ve made with Anthony (iHorror note: Anthony is the reason why we are all here so PRAISE HIM) and the rest of the writers here at iHorror. Nothing will ever top that as I feel like we’ve become very close and its like a family to me. I love this site and these guys that keep it going. However, meeting and INTERVIEWING ELVIRA (iHorror Note: Who doesn’t want to read more about Elvira? I mean she clearly is the sexiest horror icon of all time!) is a pretty close second.”

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
