Are you ready 70s’ and 80s’ kids? Two horror scream queens from different generations have come together and co-founded what is now, MoonCats Motion Picture Company in three genre productions constructed for Domestic Distribution, Commercial Exhibition and Elevated Festival Programming.

Stacey Nelkin (Halloween III: Season of the Witch, The Twilight Zone) and Eva Hamilton ( Death Kiss, Black Goat) have formed a wicked partnership to bring fans of the genre the sort of retro content we nostalgic nuggets so desire. And so to boot, have launched an Indiegogo campaign for production funding hinting if the goal is met, a “VERY special tribute to Halloween III” will be made for fans.

Umm. Yes please.

In addition to several films already underway in the MoonCats company lineup that star both Horror alumni actresses’, next year’s slated October release Double Feature contains a double-horror anthology film intercut with vintage-style drive-in advertisements for an aesthetic feel.

Honestly? I’m so in.

THE SHED (2021) and KILLER VIDEO (2022), two short 35mm films both actively in development, will be shot on location in undisclosed rural locations between October of 2021 and March of 2022.

SYLVIA (2024) continues to actively develop as the company’s initial Feature Presentation, following the story of an aging model who reassumes power by taking over Miami as a legendary Cocaine Smuggler.

MoonCat additionally launches its Production Services Department, offering Promotional Content Services, Concept Packaging and Original Synthwave Licensing to Independent Genre Filmmakers.

“Chucky” TV Series Full Trailer From Comic-Con Revealed!

Image Leave a comment

It’s time to play… again. But this time over at SYFY in collaboration with the USA network for a series to premiere exclusively on the platforms just in time for the Halloween 2021 season!

Produced by Channel Zero‘s Nick Acosta and Child’s Play forefather Don Mancini, the show centers around a teenage artist (Zackary Arthur) who is struggling with his sexuality after coming out as well as dealing with the recent loss of his mother. As we can all can guess, this unfortunately causes some bullying for the young boy. He comes across Chucky at a local yard sale, and with him being an artist and all, buys the good guy for some parts for a sculpture- but umm, yeah the doll has other plans.

The cast of Chucky also stars Lexa Doig (Jason X) and Devon Sawa (Final Destination) as well as returning fan favorites Jennifer Tilly, Fiona Dourif, Alex Vincent, Christine Elise, and Brad Dourif, who once again voices the plastic tiny terror.

 Chucky will premiere Oct. 12 at 10 p.m. on USA and SYFY.

[VIDEO] The Deleted Scene From “A Nightmare On Elm Street” That Reveals Nancy Had a Sibling

[VIDEO] THE DELETED SCENE FROM "A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET" THAT REVEALS NANCY HAD A SIBLING

Man. The deeper impact this deleted scene from A Nightmare On Elm Street gives to the word “private justice”, should have been left in.

The fact that Freddy-Mania took over the 80s’ and the unforgiving character that lived off the blood of children became a pop-culture phenomenon, kind of blows my mind. I was totally a part of the Freddy Fandom as a kid and still am to this day. However, thinking back now as an adult how Freddy was mass marketed to children from bootleg toys, plastic Halloween costumes, horror hotlines, and even a stint on MTV, just goes to show he was a true force to be reckoned with the future of America.

Yes. We are the generation that holds a child-murderer as a GOD in the genre and we make no apologies for it.

But I kind of feel bad about it now and you might too after learning that Nancy wasn’t always an only child. In fact, Freddy killed him/her. And is what drove Nancy’s parents to the brink of madness in doing what they did to him.

Knowing this now, the final battle between Nancy and Freddy makes it that much more personal; as it would for just about anyone that had a family member killed by a son of a thousand maniacs. Why Wes Craven chose to discredit it entirely and keep this particular dialogue out of the scene between Nancy and her mother Marge in the basement (of which most of the rest was kept in the movie), I suppose we might not ever know. But it surely adds a lot more hatred between the characters. In the rough cut of the scene provided by YouTube Channel Gabi Ferretti below, it also hints Nancy’s friends’ Rod, Tina, and Glen also had siblings that were murdered by the cruelty of Krueger- which would lead us into the private justice and mob mentality nature of his origins. Also, it’s sort of full-circle that the remaining siblings are so close-knit now. Or were rather as they were picked off one by one in the movie.

This could have changed the whole tone of the film, but personally I feel like it should have been kept in. It just adds to the cruelty that really was Krueger. Then again, had they gone into a deeper explanation painting a picture of his pure evil, we may have never had lunchboxes with Freddy’s face on them as kids.

What do you think?
