Night of the Zoopocalypse! All Is Not Well When Zombies Invade!

Humour and zombies are abound in this sneak preview of Night of the Zoopocalypse! So where are the Penguins?

Release Date: March 7, 2025

These days, it’s very rare to hear about what Clive Barker is up to, and I’m certainly glad he’s not retired. And although his attempts to get some of his stories animated has been tough (I remember hearing about failing to get Thief of Always made a long time ago), it seems Viva Pictures have done what others could not move forward! Night of the Zoopocalypse is a story concept this author pitched some time ago, and the casting and trailer look awesome!

The art style reminds me of Illumination Pictures’ work (I see a lot of Scrat in it), and I fully expected the Jaws homage. As for whether this work will carry some of that dark edge Barker is famous for, hopefully this film will balance what’s needed to make this work accessible for all ages.

All The Deets on All The Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror Volume Two

Due to the huge amount of information presented, this breakdown on what will be offered in All The Haunts Be Ours Volume Two will be split into three articles.

Release Date: Nov 12, 2024

Everything fans of folk horror want to know but were afraid to ask is continuing to be explored in an all new continuation, simply titled All The Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror Volume Two. And when I own a copy of the first set, there’s no turning back! Not only am I a rabid completist but also this new collection offers recent movies that define what this genre is all about.

As for older works that can’t be easily found online or not available, half the list includes films making their debut on the optical medium. The care and attention put into these collections says it all. I’m particularly glad there’s a lot more to explore. What’s offered is an extension of the documentary that started it all, Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched Documentary (review link)

Halloween is Here with BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA, The Videogame

Nostalgic Horror Adventure “BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA” Haunts Steam on October 23, 2024! And for those who don’t get the pun, this one will ‘get ya’ (or that say gotcha?) hiding under the sheets!

Ban The Prologue of Gucha Gucha Fans of Japanese Horror will want to check out BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA! This gore filled treat looks like it’s honouring more than the craziness that’s found in Haus, but I feel there’s a lot more going on in this third-person psychological horror adventure developed by IchimatsuSuzuka. Published by Kodansha Game Creators’ Lab, this creepy looking video game will become available on Steam (PC) just days before Halloween!

After a strange creature assaults and kidnaps college student Garasu Yuki’s beloved dog Chocolat, she has only one lead: a slithering entity beneath the ground. To reunite with Chocolat, Yuki ventures into the dark depths of Mt. Utaga as night falls. Unveil the quiet town’s horrifying history while avoiding the monstrosities along the road.

From the Press Release:

As the story unfolds, the protagonist shifts to a young boy carrying his little sister through endless, identical corridors. Dodge the lethal attacks of a blood-soaked pursuer wielding a Japanese sword while searching for an escape route. As the clock winds down, help the boy and his sister navigate a way out for even the slimmest chance at survival.

Netflix is Preparing for Geeked Week!

Netflix has a live event for Geeked Week and it will take place in Atlanta, Georgia.

Netflix Geeked Week 2024 Watch Live on YouTube, Twitch and X on Sept. 19 at 5pm PT/ 8pm ET

These days, Netflix is the go to place for a lot of geeky content. When they’re bringing back a lot of fond properties along with cultivating new takes on others, I’m always there. After Terminator Zero (review coming soon), I’m certainly hooked! Last week, they posted a trailer for its upcoming Geeked Week celebration and while what I’m anxious for seems not necessarily there, that may be because I was multitasking at the time and missed that clip. Or rather, when will Netflix Canada do something to negotiate with CTV to get Star Trek: Prodigy on air?

This year kicks off on September 16 and culminates with Geeked Week Live, an in-person fan event at 8 pm ET on September 19 in Atlanta. Expect sneak peeks, news and surprises from titles including Squid Game, Arcane, One Piece, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Don’t Move, Wednesday, Cobra Kai, Monument Valley 3, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, Devil May Cry and more.

Three More Chinese Animated Films Hopefully Coming in Late 2024

Fans of Chinese animated films will want know if these works will gain international distribution or not.

Nezha from the Fengshen Cinematic Universe - Chinese Animated Film — Nezha from the Fengshen Cinematic Universe

There are not a lot of months left in 2024 for China to churn out more animated wonders for its citizens. Not everything is expected to get an international release, ‌but I’m hoping. That’s because of the works said to be coming out this year according to the website Xrender, one is more internationally known over others, and White Snake 3 has made its debut to only one part of the world fully aware and fans worldwide eager to see it!

But there’s more, and I offer my top three choices of films which has not been released yet, but deserve recognition. Not every work has their promotional material ready yet, but if that work is supposed to be coming out this year, the publicity team better start hyping these films up next month!

Ne Zha 2

At long last, a sequel to the 2019 film is coming! In the first instalment, this spunky demigod child had a lot to learn about whom to trust. It was an adventure I really loved (movie review) and wished a sequel would come sooner than later. After six long years, this continuation is finally getting made, but as for the plans of continuing the Fengshen Cinematic Universe, it may have been dropped when the pandemic changed the rules. Certain industries got hit hard, and Horgos Caitiaowu Picture, who helped produced this series of films, may have decided to change direction.
