'Insidious: Chapter 2' Poster
12 June 2013 9:59 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Oops: I've been informed I was wrong and it's not a doll, but a baby. I'm an idiot. Carry on... James Wan and his screenwriter partner Leigh Whannell love them some creepy dolls. The director even adopted the Twitter name @creepypuppet and beyond their Saw franchise, even Dead Silence centered on creepy ventriloquist dummies going rogue and the first poster for Insidious: Chapter 2 continues the tradition. The film serves as a sequel to the duo's low-budget, 2011 surprise hit and reunites the original cast of Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye and Ty Simpkins, following the haunted Lambert family as they seek to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world. Insidious 2 hits theaters on September 13. Check out the poster (via Yahoo) below. »

Freaky New Poster For James Wan’s ‘The Conjuring’
23 May 2013 5:15 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
After bringing us the horror and violence of Saw, Dead Silence, Death Sentence and Insidious, director James Wan will soon set out on the Fast & Furious roads and a change of pace with the seventh adventure of the action franchise. However, Wan will first attempt to scare the hell out of us again with the fact-based spook story, The Conjuring.
The film centres on the real-life paranormal investigative husband and wife team Ed and Lorraine Warren’s most notorious case. The couple made a living supposedly ridding the homes of ghouls and ghosts during the 1970s and 1980s. This particular tale sees them visiting a Rhode Island farmhouse that appears to have unwanted guests hanging about (literally).
Not that I believe any of the occurrences but I do love good fright flick and the trailers and posters for this one have been very effective. This latest one-sheet certainly sending the shivers down the spine, »

Sum 41's Pain In The Back
12 April 2013 7:43 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Just when it seems Sum 41 singer/guitarist Deryck Whibley's re-occurring back pain was fine it has acted up again and has now caused the group to pull out of their current Canadian tour supporting Billy Talent.
"Sorry to all you skumfuks that were planning on seeing us at these last few shows on the Dead Silence Tour with Billy Talent," the group wrote on its Facebook page last night. "Deryck re-injured his back and isn't able to perform. We want to thank Billy Talent for bringing us out with them. It's been a great ride!"
"Its unfortunate that sometimes great nights end with bad news," Sum 41 bassist Cone McCaslin said in a string of tweets. "Extremely bummed out we are unable to finish this cdn tour. My sincere apology to all our fans who were coming to see us. Wanna thank @billytalentband 4 having us on their tour. »

The Conjuring trailer – a paranormal thriller without a trick
11 April 2013 9:33 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A mysterious force, a creepy doll and a terrifying ghost … it will take all your special powers to stop falling asleep
Say what you like about James Wan, but you can't deny that the man loves a spooky doll. He directed Saw, a film about a spooky doll. He directed Dead Silence, a film about a spooky doll. He directed Insidious, a film where a family gets turned into spooky dolls and then a demon listens to the Tiny Tim album God Bless Tiny Tim while living in a house made entirely out of spooky dolls.
But all relationships must come to an end, and this must be why James Wan is about to release The Conjuring. The film marks brave new ground for the director, because The Conjuring isn't about a spooky doll at all. It's about a conjuring. Let's take a closer look at The Conjuring's trailer to see what's going on. »

James Wan Tapped for Fast & Furious 7
10 April 2013 8:54 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Universal is now negotiating with Saw creator James Wan for the seventh The Fast and the Furious flick. Justin Lin has directed the last four installments, so it's probably time for him to think about something other than cars and muscles for a while. Wan, in addition to writing and directing Saw, helmed the thrillers Insidious, Dead Silence, and Death Sentence. Fast 7 is expected to see returns from Vin Diesel and Paul Walker at the very least. »

James Wan to Direct 'Fast and Furious 7'
10 April 2013 7:29 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
He became a name to watch with the low budget film Saw in 2004 and his two follow-up films, Dead Silence and Death Sentence, didn't exactly light the world on fire though the latter seemed to have its admirers. Then, in 2010, James Wan's Insidious made $97 million worldwide on a budget of only $1.5 million. This year he returns to theaters with The Conjuring at Warner Bros. in July and Insidious: Chapter 2 will also hit theaters this September. What's a horror director with a burgeoning career to do next...? Direct Fast and Furious 7? That's exactly what's happening as Deadline reports Universal Pictures has begun negotiations with Wan to direct the seventh film in the franchise, which continues with Fast & Furious 6 on May 24. It was announced only days ago Fast & Furious, Fast Five and Fast 6 director Justin Lin would not be returning for Fast 7 and he has already given Wan his endorsement. »

'The Conjuring' trailer: Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga investigate some seriously spooky paranormal activity
2 April 2013 4:14 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
"Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville." Scared yet?
The trailer for the new film "The Conjuring" has just been released, and it looks like it could be director James Wan's most unsettling film yet, which is truly saying something when you consider this is the man responsible for "Saw," "Dead Silence," and "Insidious."
The movie stars Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as real-life paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren, best known for their work on what would later be immortalized as "The Amityville Horror." But, as the trailer implies, there was one case out of the thousands they investigated that proved to be so disturbing, they preferred not to talk about it.
Called to help a small-town family, led by Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor, terrorized by malevolent forces in their secluded farmhouse, the Warrens "find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives."
Appropriately, the film matches that terror, »

Fright Exclusive Interview With A Nightmare on Elm Street 4′s Tuesday Knight!!
2 April 2013 3:53 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
In my opinion, A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master was always one of the better sequels in the Elm Street saga. It was when the series hit its creative peak, due to the genius directing of Renny Harlin (Prison, Deep Blue Sea, Die Hard 2), the always entertaining performance of Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger, and the addition of a fresh set of Elm Street kids. One of those kids, Kristen, was played by Tuesday Knight, who took over the role originated in A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors by Patricia Arquette. Call me crazy, but I’ve always thought that Knight did a superior job as Kristen, and though her time in the film wasn’t as long as some of the others, she added more to the character that I found to be one-dimensional in The Dream Warriors.

The Conjuring Presents Spooky First Trailer
28 February 2013 7:56 PM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
I catch a lot of heat for my vocal praise of horror director James Wan, being told things like “anyone who blindly follows the guy who started the Saw franchise is a moron” and so forth, but the man has never disappointed me – except for Dead Silence, which I’ve blocked from my memory – so it never happened (la la la, I can’t hear you). I mean yes, most of the Saw films aren’t anything special, but the original is – which also happens to be the only one Wan directed. I mean honestly, you have to do Something right to see two directorial releases in the same summer blockbuster season, which Wan has in The Conjuring and Insidious Chapter 2.
But which should we be more excited for? The sequel to his outrageously delightful (and I mean that in the most terrifying way) haunted house thrill ride of a film, »

The Conjuring TeaserTrailer Demonic Little Girls in the Basement

Ever since James Wan burst into the horror scene back in 2004 as the director and story writer of Saw and the followed it up with Dead Silence in 2007 and Insidious in 2010 it has been very clear that he brings a new take to horror a different point of view that is both extremely creepy and very original. Since our early preview and knowing that Wan premiered footage of The Conjuring at New York ComicCon last year weve been hungry for more details and from the looks of this teaser trailer from this 2013 upcoming horror movie he just may be about to do it again. »

"Evil Dead" star goes to a strange, "Dark Place"
6 February 2013 7:13 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
In A Dark Place, from director Bharat Nalluri, finds a young American woman (Levy) swept away to England where she'll work as a governess on a large estate for, once again, a porcelain doll, THR reports. The family who hired her treats said doll like their own son, and once they've gone away for a spell, the governess begins to suspect it may, in fact, be alive.
Dead Silence (which is really enjoyable!) seems to have put a damper on the dummy/doll come-to-life angle. A shame, as even just the concept is kind of endlessly eerie. "Bring it back," I cry! Maybe In A Dark Place will do so. »

Maria Bello and Frank Grillo to Figure Out What Killed Some Ghost Hunters for Producer James Wan
24 January 2013 10:00 AM, PST | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
James Wan likes to make movies about dark houses where things go bump in the night. And that's fine with us because he's pretty damn good at it. Dead Silence and Insidious are both fine spook-house flicks, and the director has two more on the way: this summer's The Conjuring and Insidious 2. We can now add a third, untitled movie to the mix. It was previously going under the moniker House of Horror, but now Variety says it's just an "untitled James Wan presents thriller from Dimension Films." But the title on the poster doesn't matter nearly as much as what's in the movie, and thankfully we've got a few more details there. It's based off of a story Wan came up with that involves a detective and a psychologist interrogating a sole survivor...

Billy Talent Cancel European Dates After Loved One's Death
18 January 2013 10:04 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Billy Talent have been forced to cancel eight dates on their European tour after the death in the band's inner circle.
"I have 3 things tattooed on my forearm. Friends, Family and Music," singer Ben Kowalewicz wrote on the band's site. "They are the 3 most important things to us. We have lost someone who was very close to us and it's been the most surreal week we've ever experienced. We are not the type of band that cancels shows and never have been in our 20 years together but we feel under the circumstances, that we have to pull out of the remainder of this tour.
"It's a very hard thing to do for us as we don't like to ever let our fans down but we honestly feel that right now we have to be with our friends and family to get through this. We will make it up to you all we promise. »

FEARnet's 2013 Horror Cinema Preview
15 January 2013 5:00 PM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
It may not seem like it, but 2012 was actually a pretty good year for horror films. (Check this piece I did for Twitch.) It just wasn't a very good year for Hollywood horror flicks. If you chose to focus on imports and indies, however, there was no shortage of quality scary flicks worth watching. But like all the best nerds, horror nerds want to know what's coming up Next! So I ran through the calendar and put together a horror cinema preview for 2013. I've actually seen a few of these (thank you, film festivals) and will include a link to my review when they come up.

Texas Chainsaw 3D (Lionsgate) -- Billed as a direct sequel to the original film, which means it wants us to ignore some pretty crappy sequels, this 3D experiment offers the lovely Alexandra Daddario as Leatherface's latest quarry. Expect lots of gore and buzzing »
