Halloween came early to the Los Angeles area this year, with ScareLA! ScareLA marking its fourth year run with this year’s theme “Season of the Witch,” hosted by the Queen of Halloween herself, Elvira Mistress of the Dark! ScareLA was founded in 2013 and is the first convention dedicated to celebrating everything Halloween in the Los Angeles area. ScareLA combines top talent with with a unique twist! Haunt enthusiasts and creative professionals bring spooktacular panels, workshops, attractions, to life!

ScareLA is a unique venue offering so much to Halloween enthusiasts and iHorror was right in the middle of the madness! This year Elvira served as the official host casting a magical spell over the event, and that was just the beginning. Other guests attending were Robert Murkus (House of 1000 Corpses), Philip Friedman (Insidious), and the beautiful Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp) were not only available for autographs and signings, each offered unique one-on-one time with fans!

ScareLA really outdid themselves this year! My favorite attraction was a mini maze, Blood Offering: Legend of The Iron Witch. The theme of the maze was to save your soul before hell captures it. This maze was something that I had never experienced before, with its pitch black hallways, a priest and demon nuns grabbing on their guests as they walked through, terrifying. The interaction was incredible and is exactly what set it apart from other mazes, it was a hell of a ride!

The Iron WItch
Founded in 2001, The Screamfest Horror Film Festival is an organization that supports the development of independent filmmakers of the Horror genre. The festival will run a total of ten days, providing the foundation for emerging writers and directors to show off their product not only to the industry but the public horror community. ScreamFest will run from October 18th-27th, and was on hand at ScareLA to answer any sinister questions that haunt enthusiasts had.

Sadly the event ended as fast as it started. Soon we will bear witness to the falling of rusty colored leaves, the fresh cool breeze, and the smell of pumpkin spice, our Halloween season will be starting. I do ponder as to what ScareLA will have in store for us next year? I am sure we will not be disappointed, until next time, stay spooky!

New Images for MaXXXine Show Kevin Bacon and Mia Goth in all Her Glory

Published

Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine

Ti West (X) has been knocking it out of the park with his sexy horror trilogy as of late. While we still have some time to kill before MaXXXine releases, Entertainment Weekly has dropped some images to wet our appetite while we wait.

It feels like just yesterday X was shocking audiences with its granny horror porno shoot. Now, we are just months ways from Maxxxine shocking the world once again. Fans can check out Maxine’s new 80s inspired adventure in theatres on July 5th, 2024.

MaXXXine

West is known for taking horror in new directions. And it looks as though he plans to do the same with MaXXXine. In his interview with Entertainment Weekly, he had the following to say.

“If you’re expecting it to be part of this X movie and people will be killed, yeah, I’m going to deliver on all those things. But it’s going to zig instead of zag in a lot of places that people aren’t expecting. It’s a very decadent world that she lives in, and it’s a very aggressive world that she lives in, but the threat shows up in an unexpected way.”

MaXXXine

We can also expect MaXXXine to be the biggest movie in the franchise. West isn’t holding anything back for the third installment. “The thing that the other two movies don’t have is that sort of scope. To try to do a big, sprawling Los Angeles ensemble movie is what the movie was, and that’s just a big undertaking. There’s a kind of noir-ish mystery vibe to the movie that’s very fun.”

However, it looks as though MaXXXine will be the end of this saga. Although West has some other ideas for our beloved killer, he believes this will be the end of her story.

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

The Tall Man Funko Pop! Is a Reminder of the Late Angus Scrimm

Phantasm tall man Funko pop

The Funko Pop! brand of figurines is finally paying homage to one of the scariest horror movie villains of all time, The Tall Man from Phantasm. According to Bloody Disgusting the toy was previewed by Funko this week.

The creepy otherworldly protagonist was played by the late Angus Scrimm who passed away in 2016. He was a journalist and B-movie actor who became a horror movie icon in 1979 for his role as the mysterious funeral home owner known as The Tall Man. The Pop! also includes the bloodsucking flying silver orb The Tall Man used as a weapon against trespassers.

Phantasm

He also spoke one of the most iconic lines in independent horror, “Boooy! You play a good game, boy, but the game is finished. Now you die!”

There is no word on when this figurine will be released or when preorders will go on sale, but it’s nice to see this horror icon remembered in vinyl.

Director of ‘The Loved Ones’ Next Film is a Shark/Serial Killer Movie

Published

on

The director of The Loved Ones and The Devil’s Candy is going nautical for his next horror film. Variety is reporting that Sean Byrne is gearing up to make a shark movie but with a twist.

This film titled Dangerous Animals, takes place on a boat where a woman named Zephyr (Hassie Harrison), according to Variety, is “Held captive on his boat, she must figure out how to escape before he carries out a ritualistic feeding to the sharks below. The only person who realizes she is missing is new love interest Moses (Hueston), who goes looking for Zephyr, only to be caught by the deranged murderer as well.”

Nick Lepard writes it, and filming will begin on the Australian Gold Coast on May 7.

Dangerous Animals will get a spot at Cannes according to David Garrett from Mister Smith Entertainment. He says, “‘Dangerous Animals’ is a super-intense and gripping story of survival, in the face of an unimaginably malevolent predator. In a clever melding of the serial killer and shark movie genres, it makes the shark look like the nice guy,”

Shark movies will probably always be a mainstay in the horror genre. None have ever really succeeded in the level of scariness reached by Jaws, but since Byrne uses a lot of body horror and intriguing images in his works Dangerous Animals might be an exception.
