Another week is coming to an end, and that means it's time for us to gather all of this week's additions to our JoBlo Horror YouTube channel (subscribe HERE) together in one place. It's the AITH HORROR VIDEOS OF THE WEEK!
Over the last five days, we have released a new episode in our DEADLY DUOS series, this one focused on Stuart Gordon and Jeffrey Combs; our TALES FROM CREEPYPASTA series told a story of exorcism and justice; we asked WTF HAPPENED TO THIS HORROR MOVIE? about Wes Craven's CURSED; we shared James Abney's and Josh Moskowitz's horror short FADE OUT; and THE KILL COUNTER has tallied up the number of victims in John Carpenter's Stephen King adaptation CHRISTINE. And all of these videos are embedded below!
STUART GORDON & JEFFREY COMBS – Deadly Duos
Deadly Duos is Arrow in the Head’s series dedicated to featuring the iconic pairings of filmmakers who have worked together multiple times in horror films. Actors and directors, producers and composers, no matter the role or the era, every episode is a journey through the most beloved and classic (as well as obscure and forgotten) pairings that have made for the most memorable films in horror history.
In this episode, we explore that darkly comical horror world of Stuart Gordon and his many glorious collaborations with beloved genre staple Jeffrey Combs. From Re-Animator to Edgar Allan Poe, these two have created some truly iconic horror work. Heads up for Deadly Duos!
I SURVIVED AN EXORCISM – Tales From Creepypasta
Synopsis: How much would you sacrifice to bring justice for the murder of your only child?
Creepypastas are the campfire tales of the internet. Horror stories spread through forums like reddit and blogs, rather than word of mouth. Whether you believe these scary stories to be true or not is left to your own discretion and imagination. Narrated and edited by Freaky Attractions.
CURSED – WTF Happened to this Horror Movie
Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster, but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs.
In the latest episode we look back at what happened to director Wes Craven's Cursed (2005). With Kevin Williamson of SCREAM fame having written the screenplay and Special Effects master Rick Baker behind the making of the beast – it looked like a sure fire masterpiece on our hands. Then the Weisteins came in and did their thing i.e. ruined the film with their dumbass creative decisions. What happened with CURSED is a travesty. So join us as we answer the question of WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?
FADE OUT – Short Horror Film
Synopsis:"Fade Out" is written along the lines of films like "You're Next" and "The Final Girls." The story is about an actress in her late twenties named Marcie who's considering the idea of pursuing a different career, given her experience with low budget projects with no pay. When her friend refers her to an easy, paying gig, Marcie decides to give it one more go before calling it quits for good. When crew begins to go missing, unbeknownst to the inexperienced director, her only option is to begin to investigate the disappearances. But when the killer finally reveals himself, she's forced to become the cliché "final girl" in real life and lead the remaining crew and talent to safety. Now, with time running out, Marcie must escape the fateful cabin alive, or she will die doing what she hates most in the world; acting.
