Weekly Horror Haul: ‘The Strangers 2’ Is Actually Happening; New ‘Halloween’ Movie Isn’t a Remake – Collider.com

Howdy, horror folks! Welcome back to my weekly horror hook-up; a one-stop spot for all the horror movie and TV news of the week, from casting news to trailer debuts, reviews, interviews and more. Basically, if its in horror and its worth knowing, Ill round it up here for your convenience.

This week was a BIG one for horror, including some major updates on the genres most beloved franchises. First up, RIP Jason Voorhees. For now, at least. I have no doubt he will rise again in true Voorhees style. Paramounts Friday the 13th reboot is officially dead in the water after a lengthy, troubled pre-production. But now that weve got the sad news out of the way, lets get to the Holy Shit! stuff. Blumhouse and Miramax are finally moving forward with their new Halloween franchise and theyve recruited Pineapple Express helmer David Gordon Green to direct and co-write the script with Danny McBriceand its all got John Carpenters blessing (He might even do the music!). McBride has even offered some updates on where the film fits into the established franchise mythology.

Theres also finally forward motion on the long-discussed The Strangers 2, which I had honestly completely given up on. Bryan Bertino returns to pen the script, butJohannes Roberts (The Other Side of the Door)will step into the directors chair. Plus, updates on Luca Guadagninos Suspiria, Jeremy Saulniers Hold the Dark casts up, and more.
