Jeffrey Reddick

We're just a few days away from September 30th start of the Big Bear Horro-Fi Film Festival, and a few announcements have come out over the past few days with regard to additions to the lineup along with news of a world premiere taking place at the event.

We told you yesterday that starting on Saturday, August 13th, several copies of the original Final Destination sold in the WB Shop on Blu-ray or DVD will be signed by series creator Jeffrey Reddick. Nice, right? Even better, Dread Central, in association with Warner Bros., has one autographed Blu-ray to give away to a lucky reader. Super nice!

As if Dread Central hasn't had the opening of Final Destination 5 covered thoroughly enough up to now, how about leading you to some more cool swag?

Are any of you guys familiar with a term called "hagging"? It's said that when you wake up in the middle of the night and find yourself frozen and unable to move, there's a spirit on your chest weighing you down. Speaking as someone who has had this experience, I can tell you first-hand its pretty frightening.

Don't fill up your Halloween dance card just yet. Filmmaker Alex Bram is presenting some of the most promising new voices in horror at the second annual Carnival of Darkness Film Festival. Filled with haunting and disturbing short films from across the world, the fest takes place at LA Film School on Thursday, October 28th.

So you wrote this killer script but you have no friggin' clue what to do with it, whon to show it to, or even if you should show anyone at all. Everyone working in this biz has been in your shoes at one time or another, and now some of them are ready to tell you all about it!

Just a few days back we told you guys about the possibility of Toolbox Murders 2, which was apparently being written by Jeffrey Reddick (Day of the Dead redux). The story came from Fangoria, so of course Reddick got in touch with them to set the record straight:

Here’s a project I never expected to hear about again: Toolbox Murders 2, the sequel to Tobe Hooper’s 2003 remake of the 1978 original. Fangoria got to chatting with long-time second unit director and FX vet Dean Jones recently, who revealed that he’ll be helming Toolbox 2, possibly as early as May.
