Until then, however, we’ve scraped together a delicious collection of genre gossip that needs to be examined under the microscope in today’s daily horror roundup right here at We Got This Covered. From a pulse-pounding trailer for Insidious: The Red Door to creators stirring up trouble for their new horror film due to past troubles, there’s a whirlwind of topics to be explained.
So, before you bring your comfort blanket with you to watch Evil Dead Rise this weekend, feast your eyes on the latest updates in spookyland.
Nefarious naysayers carefully warn others of the film’s bizarre creators
Upcoming horror movie Nefarious is causing a whole whirlwind of controversy due to the creators’ prior film that placed a special focus on Christianity and religion. As a result, a plethora of Redditors on the r/horror platform are now convinced that said creators are purposely focusing on religion in their upcoming project and simply marketing it as horror to reach a larger audience. Regardless of where you stand on the matter, there’s no discounting that controversy certainly creates publicity for the film.
The fifth entry in the ever-popular Insidious franchise looks to be worth the wait
At long last, Sony released the official trailer for Insidious: The Red Door — the fifth and long-awaited chapter in the eerie franchise. Unlike the last two movies in the series, the newest Insidious stumbles back to its roots and focuses on the iconic Lambert family. Blumhouse making these changes is a fantastic move, for sure, seeing as horror fanatics were in favor of the first two movies — and with Patrick Wilson as director, it feels as though we’ve got a gem on our hands.
Unsurprisingly, Nic Cage regrets eating a real-life cockroach
Nicolas Cage has performed plenty of questionable stunts and antics during his illustrious career, but perhaps no other will compare to the insanity of ingesting a real-life cockroach. And just when you’d thought you’d seen it all, Cage pops in to remind us why eating an insect is never a good thing. The acclaimed actor revealed the stunt during a recent interview, where he performed the action while filming horror-comedy Vampire’s Kiss. Truth be told, we’ll never be able to unsee that.
Crawl back in tomorrow, goreheads, for a new spine-tingling horror roundup.
