Myriad Pictures announced it will begin production on Jeepers Creepers 3, the long gestating sequel in the popular horror franchise from writer and director Victor Salva. Cameras roll early next year in Vancouver with Jonathan Breck reprising his role as The Creeper and Brandon Smith as Sergeant Davis Tubbs.
If you’re a little hazy on either of those characters and/or the plot, it’s okay. It’s been 12 years since Jeepers Creepers 2. The new sequel is set during The Creeper’s final day of feeding and finds police task forces attempting to figure out monster’s origins to kill it.
Salva said:
Writing and directing a new Jeepers film, the first in over a decade, is incredibly exciting for me and I believe for Jeepers fans all over the world that have been asking for more.
FX has released a full-length trailer for “American Horror Story: Hotel,” the fifth season in the acclaimed anthology series from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. Premiering Oct. 7, the show runs 13 episodes and is inspired by the mysterious 2013 death of a Canadian tourist in L.A.’s haunted Cecil Hotel.
The story made headlines when surveillance video of the terrified hotel guest hiding in an elevator went viral. She was found dead soon after.
“American Horror Story: Hotel” stars Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Wes Bentley, Lily Rabe, Naomi Campbell, Mädchen Amick, Chloe Sevigny and—inexplicably— Lady GaGa, putting this season on track to be worse than the third, featuring Stevie Nicks.

The new season moves from New York to the town of Jarden, Texas where not a single soul was taken during the Sudden Departure. Returning are Justin Theroux, Amy Brenneman, Margaret Qualley and Chris Zylka as the Garvey family.
Also back are Christopher Eccleston as Reverend Matt Jamison and Carrie Coon as Slayer fan Nora Durst. “The Leftovers” premieres Oct. 4. The new trailer has balls… no, really, at the 1:13 mark. Big, hairy balls.

Unnatural arrives in theaters Oct. 16 as part of After Dark Film’s 8 Films to Die For.
Anne Hathaway is set to produce and star in The Shower, a sci-fi comedy that unfortunately has nothing to do with Hathaway soaping up for 90-minutes. The plot instead revolves around a bunch of women whose baby shower is interrupted by a meteor shower that turns men into bloodthirsty aliens.
It sounds pretty silly, but producers are describing the film as a mix of This Is the End, Bridesmaids, and the over-hyped Attack the Block. The script was written by Jac Schaeffer, who describes the story as “a story that is ultimately about female friendship, with a lot of ass-kicking along the way.”
Hathaway hath stayed away from our beloved horror genre, starring only in the 2008 thriller Passengers, Tim Burton’s awful Alice In Wonderland, and Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight Rises and Interstellar. The Shower has yet to secure a director.
