FX announced today that they have made “substantial edits” to the October 10th episode of American Horror Story: Cult. This comes a week after the mass shooting at a Las Vegas concert, which left 58 people dead and over 500 injured.  The unedited version of the show will still be available on VOD platforms. Read FX’s entire statement below.

Statement from FX Networks Regarding Tomorrow Night’s Episode of American Horror Story: Cult

“In light of the tragedy last week in Las Vegas, Ryan Murphy and the producers of American Horror Story: Cult have chosen to make substantial edits to the opening scene of tomorrow night’s episode (Tuesday, October 10, 10 PM ET/PT). This opening, which was filmed two months ago and which portrays an occurrence of gun violence that has sadly become all too common in our country, contains a sequence that some viewers might find traumatic. Only the edited version of the episode will air on the FX linear channel, while the unedited version of the episode will be available on the VOD platform of your cable, satellite or telco provider, as well as on the FX Networks non-linear platforms, FXNOW and FX+.”

2017 Guide to the Scariest Haunted Attractions in Every State

At the start of each Halloween season, there are a few hotly anticipated traditions: Oktoberfest celebrations, costume parties, pumpkin beer, pumpkin spiced lattes, pumpkin bread, gorging on candy corn until you puke, scaring your little sister, etc. However, there is one event that stands above all: FrightFind’s annual guide of haunts.

As always, we are not here to rank or tell you which killer clown (Pennywise) is scariest; we are just here to bring you at least one haunted house to visit in every state. Some haunts draw thousands; some draw dozens. We have some repeat top haunts, but we left room for some new blood. But enough waiting – Prepare yourselves for FrightFind’s top haunts in every state – 2017!

Alabama Top Haunt: Insanitarium

Are you insane enough?

Insanitarium Haunted House

Kicking off our 2017 favorite haunts is none other than Pinson, Alabama’s award-winning INSANITARIUM. You’ll visit the lair of the demented Dr. Ausnemen, the mad scientist whose evil undead still lurk the grounds. But rumor has it the deranged doctor has also created a machine which allows INSANITARIUM’s victims..er, visitors to witness creatures only seen in nightmares. INSANITARIUM promises to step up the scares each and every year to deliver the ultimate fright fest for the whole family (although parents are advised the attraction may be more appropriate for those 13 and up).

INSANITARIUM is also updated and redesigned every year so returning guests will always get a new spook. Rain check? No need. INSANITARIUM offers covered waiting areas with availability to snacks and refreshments to boot. INSANITARIUM also supports their local arts by working closely with Pinson Valley Effects, PVFX, a special effects group geared to offering young artists real-world experience in costuming, prop making and set design.  So come on down, the doctor is in!

Arizona Top Haunt: Sanctum of Horror

Will You Survive the Mad Mind of Lenore?

Arkansas Top Haunt: Carpenter’s Mortuary

A Haunted House in an Actual Mortuary

Carpenter's Mortuary Haunted House

Moving up from our 2016 Runner Up list to take the number one spot this year is Carpenter’s Mortuary, one of the only haunted houses in the US located in an actual, eighty-eight-year-old mortuary. As you make your way down the horrifying halls of the Spook House, you’ll come face to face with the murderous morticians and ghastly gravediggers that still reside in Mother Carpenter’s mortuary and children’s home of horrors. Yep. You read that right. A mortuary and children’s home occupying the same space; what could go wrong? Well, with an embezzling, murderous “Mother” in charge, a lot apparently.

This haunt is scary, so scary in fact that it’s recommended that you pass this one by if you suffer from certain medical conditions. (Check out their “Warnings” page on their site for more info.) Otherwise, this attraction is recommended for those 13 and up and the entire attraction is located indoors so it will operate rain or shine! In addition to frights, this is a haunt with a heart. Carpenter’s Mortuary has previously partnered with Vet Tix to provide free tickets for veterans on opening weekend.  For that, we salute them.

So far Andres Muschietti’s remake of Stephen King’s IT has pulled in over an astounding $500 million worldwide since its release on September 8th, 2017. IT is set to surpass even The Exorcist as the top-grossing R-rated horror film and is well on its way to toppling other records before it even leaves theaters. So even without Muschietti’s “Chapter 1” teaser in the credits of IT, there was likely never any doubt of a sequel coming to fruition. But what might that sequel look like?

First, we know the release date. September 6, 2019. Ugh, that’s a while off now isn’t it?

What do we know about the IT sequel so far?

IT already has a solid body of work to build on and with Andres Muschietti altering only minor bits from the first half of the novel and reworking parts of the 1990’s miniseries, it’s possible that we’ll see a fairly true to form sequel… providing Muschietti signs back on for the second half. As of Sept. 7, Andres Muschietti wasn’t officially confirmed as director of the sequel however, his involvement is almost a guarantee as Barbara Muschietti, sibling of Andres and producer of IT has already signaled her involvement on a sequel, as well as lead actor Bill Skarsgard (Pennywise) and screenwriter Gary Dauberman, who will return to write the script for the sequel.

A sequel was the plan all along. In an interview with Yahoo! Movies Muschietti stated the following, “I really wanted to focus on the emotional journey of the group of kids. Getting into that other dimension—the other side—was something that we could introduce in the second part.”

That notion of exploring Pennywise’s origins has also been hinted at by none other than Pennywise himself, Bill Skarsgard.

“We’re in the early stages and I’m talking to Andy about it and figuring out what IT will be… It’s a different story, but I’m excited to delve in deeper to the character as there’s more exploration for who Pennywise is,”… “And I think that’s what I wanted and that’s where I want to go for the second one, to delve into the psychological and metaphysical spaces of this transdimensional being.” – Andres Muschietti

And as far as the timing on the sequel and filming, they need to get it in gear. Producer Barbara Muschietti stated that the kids involved in Chapter 1 will be an important part of the sequel, specifically in the form of flashback sequences.

“The hope is we’ll find the best way soon because it’s also important for Andy to get flashbacks with the kids, who are growing very fast.” – Barbara Muschietti

However, when FrightFind sat down with IT star Wyatt Oleff (Stan Uris of the Losers’ Club) to ask about plans for a sequel, Oleff responded that an IT Chapter 2 script may not even be in the works yet – “I don’t think they’ve written the script yet. So, they’re trying to gather all the ideas and parts from the book that they wanna put in and all of that.”

The general consensus remains however, that should everything go according to plan, we’ll all be happily throwing our money at New Line Cinema again on September 6th, 2019.

IT Sequel, Who will fill The Losers’ Club Shoes?

Besides Bill Skarsgard and the current Losers’ Club cast, there has been no official word on casting for the Losers’ adult counterparts that will be essential to Chapter 2. But there has been a lot of exciting speculation.

IT: The Losers' Club

Who will fill the young Losers’ Club shoes? From left to right: Stanley Uris (Wyatt Oleff), Richie Tozier (Finn Wolfhard), Mike Hanlon (Chosen Jacobs), Bill Denbrough (Jaeden Lieberher), Beverly Marsh (Sophia Lillis) & Ben Hanscom (Jeremy Ray Taylor)

Fans have pegged Jessica Chastain as a favorite to play an adult Beverly Marsh. Muschietti seems fond of that idea as well, especially since they already have a friendly working relationship from his previous horror flick, Mama. Jessica Chastain is also apparently a huge fan of IT and loves Muschietti’s interpretation, so in the words of Muschietti himself, “it feels like the planets are aligned in that sense…” As for the rest of the casting, according to Muschietti “There are a lot of ideas for the rest of the cast that I’m playing with, but it’s a bit too premature to say those names right now.”

Jessica Chastain, possible candidate for the IT Sequel

Fans peg Jessica Chastain to play an adult Beverly. Nothing has been confirmed as speculation grows.

While it’s too early for the Muschietti’s to confirm anything, that hasn’t slowed down fan speculation, even among the current cast of the Losers’ Club. In an interview with Variety, Jaeden Lieberher, the actor that plays young Bill Denbrough, has said he would love to see Ewan McGregor take on the role.

Jeremy Ray Taylor who plays young Ben Hanscom in The Losers’ Club has stated he would love to see Guardians of the Galaxy’s lead Chris Pratt fill his shoes and Chosen Jacobs, the young Mike Hanlon, has listed another Marvel star, Chadwick Boseman of Black Panther fame, as his choice for his grown-up counterpart.

Speculation for the rest of the cast has included Jake Gyllenhaal as Bill Denbrough, Batman V Superman’s Scoot McNairy to play an adult Stan Uris, lovable John Krasinski for his similarities to John Ritter’s portrayal of Ben Hanscom, American Pie’s Jason Biggs as the wisecracking Richie Tozier, Jordan Peele, director of the ultra-terrifying Get Out as Mike Hanlon, and Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul as Eddie Kaspbreak.

Should any of these come to fruition IT: Chapter 2 has the potential to be a huge, star-studded event. When asked about potential casting for the next installment, Muschietti simply said the following; “I cannot talk about it. Some things said on the web are not totally wrong. That’s all I can say.”

Changes to the IT sequel

Muschietti and Skarsgard have both been very careful when comparing their IT with the 1990 miniseries. Skarsgard has said in multiple interviews that he never wanted to simply recreate Tim Curry’s performance in the original, stating the following; “I knew that I was never going to be able to do that, so I’m going to do something completely different and hope people appreciate both performances.”

IT Remake of Pennywise: Curry versus Skarsgard

“I knew that I was never going to be able to do that, so I’m going to do something completely different and hope people appreciate both performances.” – Bill Skarsgard

Muschietti has also been open to discussing potential changes to the story for the sequel. When asked about Mike Hanlon’s character, who later goes on to be the only member of the Losers’ Club who stayed behind in Derry, he said the following; “My idea of Mike in the second movie is quite darker from the book. I want to make his character the one pivotal character who brings them all together, but staying in Derry took a toll with him. I want him to be a junkie actually. A librarian junkie. When the second movie starts, he’s a wreck.”

In addition to a darker version of the adult Mike, speculation has also swirled about the return of Henry Bowers, the abusive tormentor of the Losers. In the novel, Henry is controlled by Pennywise and admits to killing the missing children. He is eventually admitted to Juniper Hill Asylum where he spends several years before escaping with help from Pennywise where he can further torment the now adult Losers. Spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen the new IT-eration.

In the 2017 version of the film, we see Henry fall to his assumed doom down a sewer pipe after a physical altercation with Mike. As he never reappears, it’s possible that he too has joined the leagues of other deceased children in Derry, however that may be a bit too much speculation.

“Never Found the Body”, aka “Never Say Die” is a common trope in horror films that can basically be boiled down to “Never assume a character is dead unless you see the body.” In this case, especially with Pennywise’s previous use of Henry as a vessel to create havoc for both the children and adult Losers, it’s possible that Henry could reappear to take on his adult role in Chapter 2.

Going Forward…

New Pennywise from Stephen King's IT Remake

We’ll keep you updated on any new developments on the sequel, but we want to know what you’d like to see in Chapter 2?  Who would you like to see in the role of the adult Losers? What parts from the Stephen King’s novel were you disappointed didn’t make the first film? What flashback sequences are you hoping will brought back in the second installment?

Police in Tennessee’s Green County Sherriff’s Department are getting frightened calls from neighbors reacting to a fantastic early Halloween decoration. The Halloween decoration depicts a man’s bloodied body cleaved in half underneath a shut garage door.

Joseph Lovergine’s early Halloween decorating has frightened several but also amused quite a few as the police have released the following on Facebook, “THIS IS A HALLOWEEN DECORATION! Do NOT call 911 reporting a dead body. Instead, congratulate the homeowner on a great display.”

 

Awesome Halloween Decorations

Just some clothes stuffed with paper and a little fake blood went a long way. When police arrived, they actually grabbed the boot to find it was a Halloween decoration. They reacted well and so have the neighbors after the initial scare.

The response the police have received prompted them to share the awesome Halloween decoration on Facebook and caution neighbors and passersby not to overreact.

The Halloween season is upon us. It’s time to start decorating and get in the spirit.

Is Jeepers Creepers Real?

While most horror franchises are made from tales of creepy ghosts, vampires, and imaginary monsters, Jeepers Creepers is originally based on a true story. Well, some of it at least. The winged monster and other details are stretched quite a bit, but yes, the opening story of Jeepers Creepers was indeed based on the real-life misdeeds of a man named Dennis DePue.

DePue’s Grisly Crime

In 1990, Dennis DePue was on the run. DePue had murdered his wife and left her body behind an empty schoolhouse. He was never charged and the truth behind the murder may never be known. Many people postulate that DePue’s wife filed for divorce and he killed her in a fit of rage. He would never have been discovered, but an unlucky turn of events led to him becoming the main suspect.

Sadly, DePue had previously beaten his wife, Marilyn DePue, in front of their three children. Afterward, he told the children that he was going to the hospital. Instead, he took their mother to the schoolhouse where he shot her in the head. He assumed that he would not be bothered because few people drove down the isolated Michigan road. On April 15, 1990, DePue reported his wife as missing. His neighbors immediately suspected him as the DePue’s marital decay was well known.

Eerie Scene Becomes the Opening for Jeepers Creepers

Dennis DePue - Jeepers Creepers Murderer

Dennis DePue and his wife Marilyn

While DePue was disposing of his wife’s body on an isolated road, Ray and Marie Thornton happened upon DePue and witnessed the act. The Thornton’s were playing a license plate game while on their drive when they first noticed DePue’s van. The van was pulled over at a church when Marie Thornton noticed DePue moving what she described as a bloody sheet from his van.

Once they passed by, DePue quickly began to follow them very closely for several miles. Eventually, DePue gave up. However, the Thornton’s turned the tables and went back to investigate only to find DePue changing his license plates on the side of the road. They saw blood in the van when they drove by which convinced them to return to the church where they had seen DePue and the bloody sheet. They would eventually report their findings to the police.

Later on, the scene of the Thornton’s following the murder was told on Unsolved Mysteries. It would eventually be recreated in the opening scene of Jeepers Creepers.

Unsolved Mysteries Jeepers Creepers Opening Scene Similarities

The early scenes of Jeepers Creepers copied nearly the exact dialogue, including the license plate game and the chase scenes from the “Unsolved Mysteries” episode. Interestingly, film director Victor Salva credited Steven Spielberg’s Duel as the inspiration rather than the Unsolved Mysteries episode. He may have thought no one would make the connection, but the similarities were noticed by viewers.

Dennis Depue’s Demise

After discovering that Dennis DePue was also missing, the police began investigating him in his wife’s disappearance. He disappeared into hiding and the case initially went unsolved. In 1991, the episode of Unsolved Mysteries showcased the murder which caused Dennis to panic. He left the hideout that he had lived in for 11 months and fled to Texas. While in Dallas, he took on the name of Hank Queen and tried to start a new life. The police ultimately discovered the ruse, and Dennis DePue fled to Mississippi. The manhunt ended when DePue took his own life leaving many questions unanswered.

Early in the morning on March 21, 1991, Dennis DePue was found slumped over his steering wheel. The chase started in Louisiana after Mississippi police were notified about a van with stolen Texas tags. The police set up a roadblock on the Interstate 20 bridge, and officers were told to shoot out his tires. DePue managed to make it through the roadblock with just two tires damaged, and he turned off the freeway. He shot at the deputies and rammed a police car. Realizing the risk, Sheriff Paul Barrett told his deputies to take DePue out.

They caught up with the vehicle as DePue opened fire again. When the shots died down, the deputies approached the vehicle to find DePue dead. The van was filled with bullets and clothes. From the angle of the shot, it was apparent that DePue had shot himself. In the movie, the murderer continues his killing spree. The real killer died long before the movie ends in a police chase that ended in a suicide.

Much to the delight of horror fans everywhere, Jamie Lee Curtis is returning to the James Cameron’s 2017 installment of the horror franchise, Halloween. Curtis tweeted on Friday, September 15;

“Same porch. Same clothes. Same issues. 40 years later. Headed back to Haddonfield one last time for Halloween. Release date 10/19/18”

Curtis is a welcome sight, back to team with horror master John Carpenter, who will be co-producing the 10th installment in the franchise.

Carpenter has been quoted on his return to the Halloween franchise, “38 years after the original ‘Halloween,’ I’m going to help to try to make the 10th sequel the scariest of them all.”

Curtis made her debut on the big screen as Laurie Strode in Carpenter’s 1978 flick that started it all, Halloween. This will be her fifth appearance as Laurie Strode in the franchise, following 1981’s Halloween II, 1998’s Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, and 2002’s Halloween: Resurrection.

2018’s Halloween reboot is being directed by David Gordon Green and Danny McBride of HBO’s Eastbound and Down and co-produced by Blumhouse Productions, the production company behind Get Out, The Purge, Paranormal Activity and Insidious.

With heavy hitters like this on board and a little over a year left before the film is expected to hit the big screens, we’re excited to keep you up to date on new developments! Stay tuned!
