Seven More TV Movies To Keep The Family Awake All Night

Published

on

A while back, iHorror brought you a list of scary TV movies that the whole family can enjoy.  Because there are so many more than were covered there, we’ve got another list of television broadcast terrors for you.  These ones are all from the seventies, when network television was still able to be terrifying…

 

 

 

 

Don’t be Afraid of the Dark

Before there was the 2010 Katie Holmes/Guy Pearce spookfest, there was this little 1973 TV movie.  The story is essentially the same; a couple buys an old house and discovers a horde of little monsters live within the walls.  It’s one of the most legendarily horrifying TV movies ever made.  Stars Kim Darby and Jim Hutton as the couple.

Bad Ronald

Speaking of living within walls – Bad Ronald is about a teenage boy who continues to live inside the walls of his house after his mother dies and the house is sold to new owners.  Of course, he starts stalking the daughter of the family that has moved into his home.  This creepy 1974 movie is ripe for a modern remake.  Stars Scott Jacoby in the title role.

Moon of the Wolf

Moon of the Wolf is a fairly standard werewolf movie about a small town sheriff who discovers that the string of murders plaguing his little burg are the doings of a lycanthrope.  The werewolf himself is more I Was a Teenage Werewolf than An American Werewolf in London, but what do you expect?  It was 1972.  Stars David Janssen and Barbara Rush.

Someone’s Watching Me

Often considered a “lost” John Carpenter film from 1978 (the same year Halloween was released), Someone’s Watching Me is about an woman who, as the title suggests, is being stalked by a mysterious stranger who peeps on her in her apartment and calls her to tell her about it.  Stars Lauren Hutton, Adrienne Barbeau, and David Birney.

The Spell

Also in 1977, one year after Carrie hit theaters, TV viewers got The Spell.  It’s about a high school girl who uses her psychic powers to take revenge on the classmates who bully her.  Sound familiar?  Yeah, it’s Carrie.  Keep an eye out for a young Helen Hunt in this one.

Killer Bees

In the seventies, there was an overblown fear of Africanized honey bees making their way to America, partially because of movies like Killer Bees.  This 1974 movie isn’t a typical killer bee movie, as it focuses on a single woman who controls the bees on her farm.  Stars a pre-Charlie’s Angels Kate Jackson.

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.

Published

on

A report from Deadline details director Michal Sarnoski’s (A Quiet Place: Day One) newest project, The Death of Robin Hood. The film is set to feature Hugh Jackman (Logan) and Jodie Comer (The End We Start From).

Michael Sarnoski will write and direct the new Robin Hood adaptation. Jackman will be reunited with Aaron Ryder (The Prestige), who is producing the film. The Death of Robin Hood is expected to be a hot item at the upcoming Cannes film market.

Deadline describes the films as the following. “The film is a darker reimagining of the classic Robin Hood tale. Set of its time, the film will see the title character grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, a battleworn loner who finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman, who offers him a chance at salvation.”

Lyrical Media will be financing the film. Alexander Black will produce the film alongside Ryder and Andrew Sweet. Black gave Deadline the following information about the project. “We are thrilled to be part of this very special project and to be working with a visionary director in Michael, a phenomenal cast in Hugh and Jodie, and producing with our frequent collaborators, Ryder and Swett at RPC.”

“This is not the story of Robin Hood we’ve all come to know,” Ryder and Swett stated to Deadline “Instead, Michael has crafted something far more grounded and visceral. Thanks to Alexander Black and our friends at Lyrical along with Rama and Michael, the world is going to love seeing Hugh and Jodie together in this epic.”

Jodie Comer

Sarnoski seems to be excited by the project as well. He offered Deadline the following information about the film.

“It has been an incredible opportunity to reinvent and freshly innovate the story we all know of Robin Hood. Securing the perfect cast to transform the script to screen was essential. I could not be more thrilled and trusting in Hugh and Jodie to bring this story to life in a powerful and meaningful way.”

We are still a long way away from seeing this Robin Hood tale. Production is expected to begin in February of 2025. However, it does sound like it will be a fun entry into the Robin Hood canon.

That’s all the information we have at this time.
