Posted above is our first look at the Phantom Killer in producers Ryan Murphy and Jason Blum’s upcoming remake of the 1976 cult film The Town That Dreaded Sundown, based on the true story of the 1946 Moonlight Murders, a series of homicides committed in the Texas/Arizona border town of Texarkana.
The Town That Dreaded Sundown follows a copycat killer mimicking the Phantom Killer murders of the original film during its annual screening at Texarkana. Addison Timlin, best known for toplessly playing actress Sasha Bingham on Showtime’s “Californication,” toplines the film.
Timlin plays a busty high school girl with a mysterious and troubled past that could serve as the key to catching the Phantom Killer. The remake is directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (“American Horror Story”) and co-stars Gary Cole (“Veep”).
Maika Monroe (Labor Day) stars in Radius-TWC’s upcoming thriller It Follows. That’s her in the poster above, scared while strapped to a chair in her unmentionables at the edge of what looks like a pool, a chick with a broken wrist climbing out. What’s it mean? Don’t know. We were sold at the sight of the pink bra.
Okay… we know some of you actually need a little bit of plot to get excited about a movie so here goes… It Follows tells the tale of a 19-year-old girl who has an innocent sexual encounter, and is soon after “plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her.”
If a sense that someone or something is following you is all you feel after getting down and dirty with a stranger, chances are you came out on top. Thank your lucky genitals and move on!
A new trailer has gone online for Vertigo Releasing’s Monsters: Dark Continent, a sequel to Godzilla director Gareth Edwards’ 2010 feature film debut Monsters.

A soldier named Noah is sent to the Middle East to kill a rogue commando hiding in an infected zone.

Stunner Genesis Rodriguez is once again joining writer and director Kevin Smith on a horror project. The duo most recently wrapped Tusk, a twisted tale about a young blogger abducted by an old sailor looking to turn him into a walrus.
The new film is titled Yoga Hosers and marks the second entry in Smith’s “True North Trilogy,” a collection of Canada-set thrillers kicking off with this year’s Tusk.

Needless to say, things go badly when a bear and a horny woodsman start tracking them.
I’m guessing the boyfriend, who fancies himself a seasoned outdoors man, dies quickly, leaving Jenn to fight off both predators… in a clingy, low-cut tee that gets wet while she runs and falls into a stream, soaking her heaving bosom—and giving viewer’s a couple more reasons to care for her survival.
