National Pizza Day: Pizzeria Turns Horror Icons into Tasty Pies!
Believe it or not, today is National Pizza Day, which pretty much means that we all have an excuse to spend our night on the couch, with pizza sauce dripping from our chins. Does that sound good to you? Because that sounds absolutely fantastic to me.
How does pizza relate to the world of horror films? Well, aside from Freddy’s skin looking like a drippy cheese pie, there’s admittedly very little correlation. At least, there wasn’t until one pizzeria came onto the scene, forever linking the two worlds in a delicious union of heavenly awesomeness.
Based out of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, Papa’s Pizza has separated itself from all other pizzerias in a big way, serving up pies with the likenesses of iconic pop culture characters literally carved into them. Lucky for us, pizza artisan Wilhelm Rodriguez is a big horror fan, and I think you can see where this is headed.
In celebration of National Pizza Day, check out the pizzeria’s tasty tributes to some of horror’s most iconic characters. And when you’re done, order up a pie and enjoy your night!

‘Talk To Me’ Directors Danny & Michael Philippou Reteam With A24 for ‘Bring Her Back’
A24 didn’t waste any time snatching up the Philippou brothers (Michael and Danny) for their next feature titled Bring Her Back. The duo have been on a short list of young directors to watch for since the success of their horror film Talk to Me.
The South Australian twins surprised many people with their debut feature. They were mostly known for being YouTube pranksters and extreme stuntmen.
It was announced today that Bring Her Back will star Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water, Willy Wonka) and begin filming this summer. No word yet on what this film is about.
Although its title sounds like it could be connected to the Talk to Me universe this project doesn’t appear to be related to that film.
However, in 2023 the brothers revealed a Talk to Me prequel was already made which they say is a screen life concept.
“We actually shot an entire Duckett prequel already. It’s told entirely through the perspective of mobile phones and social media, so maybe down the line we can release that,” Danny Philippou told The Hollywood Reporter last year. “But also while writing the first film, you can’t help but write scenes for a second film. So there’s so many scenes. The mythology was so thick, and if A24 gave us the opportunity, we wouldn’t be able to resist. I feel like we’d jump at it.”
In addition, the Philippous are working on a proper sequel to Talk To Me something they say they have already written sequences for. They are also attached to a Street Fighter film.

‘Happy Death Day 3’ Only Needs Greenlight From Studio
Jessica Rothe who is currently starring in the ultra-violent Boy Kills World talked to ScreenGeek at WonderCon and gave them an exclusive update about her franchise Happy Death Day.
The horror time-looper is a popular series that did pretty well at the box office especially the first one which introduced us to the bratty Tree Gelbman (Rothe) who is being stalked by a masked killer. Christopher Landon directed the original and its sequel Happy Death Day 2U.
According to Rothe, a third is being proposed, but two major studios need to sign off on the project. Here is what Rothe had to say:
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out. We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row. But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
The movies delve into sci-fi territory with their repeated wormhole mechanics. The second leans heavily into this by utilizing an experimental quantum reactor as a plot device. Whether this apparatus will play into the third film isn’t clear. We will have to wait for the studio’s thumbs up or thumbs down to find out.

Will ‘Scream VII’ Focus on The Prescott Family, Kids?
Since the beginning of the Scream franchise, it seems there have been NDAs handed out to the cast to not reveal any plot details or casting choices. But clever internet sleuths can pretty much find anything these days thanks to the World Wide Web and report what they find as conjecture instead of fact. It’s not the best journalistic practice, but it gets buzz going and if Scream has done anything well over the past 20-plus years it’s creating buzz.
In the latest speculation of what Scream VII will be about, horror movie blogger and deduction king Critical Overlord posted in early April that casting agents for the horror movie are looking to hire actors for children’s roles. This has led to some believing Ghostface will target Sidney’s family bringing the franchise back to its roots where our final girl is once again vulnerable and afraid.
'SCREAM VII' will reportedly include Sidney Prescott's family as leads.

"They are looking to cast Sid's two kids. It seems like the movie will focus on Sid's family as all 4 (her, her husband and 2 kids) are listed as leads."

It is common knowledge now that Neve Campbell is returning to the Scream franchise after being low-balled by Spyglass for her part in Scream VI which led to her resignation. It’s also well-known that Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega won’t be back any time soon to play their respective roles as sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter. Execs scrambling to find their bearings got broadsided when director Cristopher Landon said he would also not be going forward with Scream VII as originally planned.
Enter Scream creator Kevin Williamson who is now directing the latest installment. But the Carpenter’s arc has been seemingly scrapped so which direction will he take his beloved films? Critical Overlord seems to think it will be a familial thriller.
This also piggy-backs news that Patrick Dempsey might return to the series as Sidney’s husband which was hinted at in Scream V. Additionally, Courteney Cox is also considering reprising her role as the badass journalist-turned-author Gale Weathers.
As the film starts filming in Canada sometime this year, it will be interesting to see how well they can keep the plot under wraps. Hopefully, those who don’t want any spoilers can avoid them through production. As for us, we liked an idea that would bring the franchise into the mega-meta universe.
This will be the third Scream sequel not directed by Wes Craven.
