- [Woman] I'm sorry.
- What else did you touch?
- Everything.
(upbeat music)
- Even though Fright Hype has shifted a bit
and lately we've been doing a lot of deeper
dives into topics like horror hosts and reboots
there's a lot of great horror on the way.
And sometimes it's nice to do a good old fashioned
here's a bunch of stuff that's coming up episode.
Now we're still more that a year away
from The Conjuring 3 but the franchise has expanded
and before we see the third Conjuring film
we'll actually get the third installment
in the spinoff Annabelle series
and this one will actually blur the lines a bit
as writer director Gary Dauberman has brought
Annabelle home to the Warren's Museum.
Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson reprise their roles
as Lorraine and Ed but based on the trailer
the film seems to focus on their daughter
played by McKenna Grace who you may have recognized
from Mike Doherty's insanely good
The Haunting of Hill House.
When one of her babysitters sneaks down
into her parents' big room of possessed stuff
she finds a creepy doll locked away
and promptly lets it out because of course she does.
You could see how that works out for her on June 27th.
Speaking of creepy dolls, I touched on the remake
of Child's Play a couple of months ago.
And while there's still some contention with this reboot
since it comes while the original Chucky timeline
is still going strong under creator Don Mancini
with the television series on the way.
The new installment got a huge boost off the news
that their version of Chucky will be voiced by Mark Hamill
who was good as Luke Skywalker but was better as the Joker.
Now the unpopular opinion is that
I'm okay with both versions and the fact that
a reboot is happening while the series is ongoing,
might just finally prove to people that remaking movies
doesn't make the other versions go away.
You can see Child's Play on
or plan your protest for June 21st.
While we are on remakes
The Craft is gonna be getting one.
Blumhouse is producing with actress Zoe Lister Jones
moving behind the camera to write and direct the film.
This one is still a ways out
but look for more as it comes.
For my next segue watch as I seamlessly move
from a remake of a 90s classic to an adaptation
of a book series from the 80s that I read in the 90s.
Like I said, seamless.
Being terrified by Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
is a bit of a right of passage of horror fans.
But it wasn't even the collection of Alvin Schwartz's
short stories as much as it was
Stephen Gammell's accompanying art work.
That art work looks to be translating
surprisingly well for the screen
in Andre Ovredal's adaptation.
We've seen some teasers and a trailer that seemed
to confirm that the film will somehow manage
to capture the disturbing imagery of the books.
So yay.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
makes it way to the screens on August ninth
which is a little less than a month ahead
of what is, based on the way things went in 2017
going to be the biggest horror event of the year.
We haven't seen any footage of IT Chapter Two
as of right now but since a clip has screened at CinemaCon
it seems likely that we'll be teased with a trailer soon.
Not soon enough but soon.
But you don't have to wait until
the summer for all your horror.
The Curse of La Llorona,
based on the Mexican legend of the Weeping Woman
and set within the Conjuring universe
is coming on April 19th.
Starring Linda Cardellini, Raymond Cruise
and Patricia Velasquez.
The eerie tale is the first film
of the Conjuring universe to not spin off
from one of the previous installments
the way Annabelle or The Nun did.
So I'm anxious to see exactly how they tie it in.
Like I said you can find out on April 19th.
So what upcoming horror has you most excited?
Let us know in the comments and remember
Fright Hype and Crypt TV are all over the internet.
Until next time keep the horror
on the screen and off the streets.
I'll see you then.
