THE CONJURING 4. Here you go. We’ve been slowly and carefully crafting away on this. We didn’t want to rush this until we’ve got something that is worthwhile. And I’m really excited and encouraged with the direction David is working on. Even more excited to have @verafarmiga and @thereelpatrickwilson back! #TheConjuring4 #conjuringuniverse
Meet your new best friend, #M3GAN. Finally the trailer is here! Excited to share this, and eventually the movie itself. (Contrary to believe, this is my first killer doll production!) Comes out theatrically January 6. Directed by Gerard Johnstone @akelacooper @aw @violetmcgraw @ronnychieng @brianjordanalvarez @itsjasonblum @blumhouse @atomicmonster @universalpictures
Photography has commenced on THE NUN 2 in France! With @michaelchaves performing the exorcism (directing) on this one. #theconjuringuniverse #theconjuring #thenun @thenunmovie @bonnieaarons1 @taissafarmiga @stormreid @jonasbloquet @newlinecinema 📸 @calvobrunocine
CONGRATS to @jamesgunn and Peter Safran on this! I cannot be more excited to see these two talented filmmakers lead DC.
Halloween Month Recommendation: THE CITY OF THE DEAD (1960) (aka HORROR HOTEL) “Burn witch, burn!” “Long live Elizabeth Selwyn” They don’t make horror movies like this anymore — black & white, noir lighting, shot inside a soundstage filled with fog, and dripping with mood. The story is about a young college woman, researching witchcraft, ends up at a small, forgotten New England town and stumbles onto a coven of witches and satanic practices. Directed by John Llewellyn Moxey, a very underrated genre director, crafted an eerily atmospheric and beautiful film despite the small budget. Starring the legendary Christopher Lee. They truly don’t make movies like this anymore. With a specific style of that era (mainly due to budget and production limitations) — the aesthetic of being shot entirely inside a soundstage with the fog machine cranked all the way up, would be deemed “cheesy” by today’s standard, but boy, this is my kind of the perfect horror film (along with Mario Bava’s BLACK SUNDAY). Something i dabbled in for DEAD SILENCE, and wish to revisit one day. Basically, I just want to do an old-school Hammer Horror Film… but with Lovecraft.

Halloween Month Recommendation: DEAD OF NIGHT (1945) In light of our first introduction of M3GAN, here is a movie (along with Poltergeist) that scarred me at a young age and made me terrified/obsessed with the idea of dolls and puppets coming to life (with malign intent). This 1945 Ealing Studios production is a beautifully haunting and eerie anthology with a wrap-around story about a guy who arrives at a country home, meets some people who proceed to share stories of their supernatural experiences. And of course the episode that I’m most attracted to, and the creepiest, is the one about a ventriloquist and his dummy with a life of its own (or does it?). Probably the most psychologically unnerving and scary story of the “haunted ventriloquist dummy” sub-genre. Most people pick MAGIC as the best of this, but for me, it’s hands down this episode of DEAD OF NIGHT, played wonderfully by Michael Redgrave.

Alright, some of you have told me my suggestions may be a bit too “old and obscure”, and have asked for more contemporary ones. I’m trying to stay away from 80s horror (with its treasure trove of pop, schlock and classics) because it’s such an obvious period to dip into and we all have our own favorites, but it’s hard to talk horror without referencing one of the greatest periods of the genre. So… Coming up are some of mine, but are again, not overtly popular outside of the horror-fandom world. First up, WARLOCK (1989). A supernatural Terminator. Two sworn enemies traveling forward in time to contemporary time (late 80s) — one is an evil warlock searching for the power to undo creation, and the other is the witch hunter hunting him. It’s such a fun, underrated gem with terrific performances from Julian Sands as the Warlock and Richard E. Grant as the hunter. You can feel the genre talent of the filmmakers (in David Twohy’s script and Steve Miner’s direction). Side trivia: I looked into the remake rights for this over a decade ago and got to meet the late, great Arnold Kopelson.
