- What else did you touch?

- Everything.

(upbeat music)

- Even though Fright Hype has shifted a bit

and lately we've been doing a lot of deeper

dives into topics like horror hosts and reboots

there's a lot of great horror on the way.

And sometimes it's nice to do a good old fashioned

here's a bunch of stuff that's coming up episode.

Now we're still more that a year away

from The Conjuring 3 but the franchise has expanded

and before we see the third Conjuring film

we'll actually get the third installment

in the spinoff Annabelle series

and this one will actually blur the lines a bit

as writer director Gary Dauberman has brought

Annabelle home to the Warren's Museum.

Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson reprise their roles

as Lorraine and Ed but based on the trailer

the film seems to focus on their daughter

played by McKenna Grace who you may have recognized

from Mike Doherty's insanely good

The Haunting of Hill House.

When one of her babysitters sneaks down

into her parents' big room of possessed stuff

she finds a creepy doll locked away

and promptly lets it out because of course she does.

You could see how that works out for her on June 27th.

Speaking of creepy dolls, I touched on the remake

of Child's Play a couple of months ago.

And while there's still some contention with this reboot

since it comes while the original Chucky timeline

is still going strong under creator Don Mancini

with the television series on the way.

The new installment got a huge boost off the news

that their version of Chucky will be voiced by Mark Hamill

who was good as Luke Skywalker but was better as the Joker.

Now the unpopular opinion is that

I'm okay with both versions and the fact that

a reboot is happening while the series is ongoing,

might just finally prove to people that remaking movies

doesn't make the other versions go away.

You can see Child's Play on

or plan your protest for June 21st.

While we are on remakes

The Craft is gonna be getting one.

Blumhouse is producing with actress Zoe Lister Jones

moving behind the camera to write and direct the film.

This one is still a ways out

but look for more as it comes.

For my next segue watch as I seamlessly move

from a remake of a 90s classic to an adaptation

of a book series from the 80s that I read in the 90s.

Like I said, seamless.

Being terrified by Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

is a bit of a right of passage of horror fans.

But it wasn't even the collection of Alvin Schwartz's

short stories as much as it was

Stephen Gammell's accompanying art work.

That art work looks to be translating

surprisingly well for the screen

in Andre Ovredal's adaptation.

We've seen some teasers and a trailer that seemed

to confirm that the film will somehow manage

to capture the disturbing imagery of the books.

So yay.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

makes it way to the screens on August ninth

which is a little less than a month ahead

of what is, based on the way things went in 2017

going to be the biggest horror event of the year.

We haven't seen any footage of IT Chapter Two

as of right now but since a clip has screened at CinemaCon

it seems likely that we'll be teased with a trailer soon.

Not soon enough but soon.

But you don't have to wait until

the summer for all your horror.

The Curse of La Llorona,

based on the Mexican legend of the Weeping Woman

and set within the Conjuring universe

is coming on April 19th.

Starring Linda Cardellini, Raymond Cruise

and Patricia Velasquez.

The eerie tale is the first film

of the Conjuring universe to not spin off

from one of the previous installments

the way Annabelle or The Nun did.

So I'm anxious to see exactly how they tie it in.

Like I said you can find out on April 19th.

So what upcoming horror has you most excited?

Let us know in the comments and remember

Fright Hype and Crypt TV are all over the internet.

Until next time keep the horror

on the screen and off the streets.

I'll see you then.
