Big news from us here at Blood Moon Rising! After a two-year delay due to COVID, Blood Moon Rising is once again producing its annual Halloween event Blood Fest this year. That’s right, Blood Fest returns with a new venue and returning to our roots as an adult nighttime show. This year Blood Fest will play The Keystone Stage 125 W, Lackawanna Ave Olyphant PA 18447, featuring the rock bands Coventry Carols led by BMR’s old friend Soda and Running in Flip Flops. We will be having our yearly costume and scream contests plus a haunted house. So join me, your stage host Dark Soul on Saturday, October 22, from 8 pm until midnight, the witching hour. Tickets can be ordered right from the Keystone Stage’s website at www.TheKeyStoneStage.com for $15 before the event and $17 at the door on the night of the event.
In upcoming horror movies news, the last Halloween movie hits this October season along with a host of horrors that arrive in late 2022 and early 2023. Prey For The Devil is one such movie about a school where young priests learn the art of exorcism. Ghostface returns once again in the 6th installment of the Scream franchise coming in March of 2023.
The Evil Dead return in the 2023 release of The Evil Dead Rise and will be the 5th film under the Evil Dead franchise. Horror director Sam Raimi will not be returning to helm this new chapter in the Evil Dead and that’s too bad. The new Rob Zombie’s take on The Musters is going directly to DVD and Blu-ray and it seems is not getting a theatrical release but will be buried among the rest of the new DVD releases of 2003. I guess even Zombie himself didn’t have any faith in this doomed project.
Just in time for its 50th Anniversary, the horror masterpiece The Exorcist is getting yet again a Sequel to the 1973 classic. Haven’t we done that before people? If you really want to count the 1977 and 1990 films ….I wouldn’t but yes a new follow-up to the 73 classic is on the way…..even the Devil is not happy!
