About the Novel

Lewis always dreamed of living in an old house full of secret passageways, hidden rooms, and big marble fireplaces. And suddenly, after the death of his parents, he finds himself in just such a mansion–his Uncle Jonathan’s. When he discovers that his big friendly uncle is also a wizard, Lewis has a hard time keeping himself from jumping up and down in his seat. Unfortunately, what Lewis doesn’t bank on is the fact that the previous owner of the mansion was also a wizard–but an evil one who has placed a tick-tocking clock somewhere in the bowels of the house, marking off the minutes until the end of the world. And when Lewis accidentally awakens the dead on Halloween night, the clock only ticks louder and faster. Doomsday draws near–unless Lewis can stop the clock!

Since the rise of a few scary clown flicks lately, Roth figured an attraction focused on a killer clown made perfect sense for a modern thrill ride in Hollywood. And I would have to completely agree with the idea because the timing is just right. Although it’s not affiliated, it’s a nice build up to highly-anticipated rebooted of IT.

Entitled Terror Tram, the intense attraction will expose horror hounds to the fabled legacy of serial killer clown “Hollywood Harry,” the story of a former jovial celebrity clown turn depraved murderer, and the minefield of carnage he left behind.

Roth stated,

I’m thrilled to be part of ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ again. We wanted to completely fabricate an original story that brings together our absolute freakiest, scariest most disturbing ideas. The ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ team is the best in the business. Their production and execution is unmatched and I know this ‘Terror Tram’ experience will blow away all expectations, and haunt guests for the rest of their lives. ‘Halloween Horror Nights is the must-see event for any horror movie fan— it’s like the Super Bowl for scary movies, and is my favorite event of the year.

Terror Tram will begin spooking fans out on Friday, September 16th, 2016. Tickets are expected to be sold via the official Halloween Horror Nights website.

Now, the original movie has been remade, and while it looks awesome, is there really a need for it? Other than for a cash grab? It doesn’t look all that different, fans are undoubtedly going to prefer the original, and there are plenty of newer movies like this that aren’t piggy backing on an existing franchise.

The Green Inferno is a wild, fun ride that took us deeper into the Amazon than anyone has ever taken a film crew.

The film stars Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, and Aaron Burns. In The Green Inferno, “a group of student activists travels to the Amazon to save the rain forest and soon discovers that they are not alone, and that no good deed goes unpunished.”

A film based on Steve Alten’s megalodon science fiction novel, MEG: A Novel of Deep Terror, has been entrapped in development hell since 1997. At one point, New Line Cinema bought the rights from Alten to have a MEG movie released to theaters in 2008. But that turned out to be a huge disaster after New Line cancelled production in July 2007. Afterwards, Alten’s relationship with New Line ended and the movie rights reverted back to him.

Fortunately, Alten hasn’t given up on his quest to have MEG adapted to the big screen and it finally sounds like the movie is moving forward again at Warner Bros. with Gravity Pictures recently joining the producing team that consists of Atelles Entertainment and Maedey Productions. Better yet, the movie now appears to have a director in place. According to Variety, Cabin Fever and Hostel director Eli Roth is in talks to helm the giant shark movie. There’s no official word if they railed him in for the sharp-toothed project yet. But we’ll keep Yellers updated on Yell! Magazine.

For those unfamiliar with MEG: A Novel of Deep Terror, you can read the official synopsis below.

MEG: A Novel of Deep Terror

Carcharodon megalodon apex predator of all time, the most fearsome creature that ever lived a 70-foot, 60,000 pound Great White Shark. Hundreds of 7-inch serrated teeth filled jaws that could swallow an elephant whole. It could sense its prey miles away, inhaling its scent as it registered the beat of its fluttering heart, and if you ever came close enough to see the monster…it was already too late. For Navy deep-sea submersible pilot Jonas Taylor, it nearly was too late. Years ago, on a top-secret dive seven miles down into the Mariana Trench, Jonas came face to face with an ancient monster everyone believed extinct. Having barely escaped with his life, Jonas must prove to the world that Meg still exists. When an opportunity to return to the trench presents itself, he takes it, intent on returning topside with a 7-inch tooth! But man s presence in this unexplored domain releases one of the sharks from its purgatory, and now Jonas is the only one who can stop it.
