Get Ready to Earn That Merit Badge... Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse - Film News

In theaters this Halloween

Some people might roll their eyes and say something like, oh great, another zombie movie. But... well, yes, another zombie movie. However, this one looks like it's trying to be a bit different. So far it looks to be a pretty fun movie. Hopefully it does well because we need more horror films in theaters, in wide release and Rated R preferably, please and thank you.  

Synopsis:

Three scouts and lifelong friends join forces with one badass cocktail waitress to become the world's most unlikely team of heroes. When their peaceful town is ravaged by a zombie invasion, they'll fight for the badge of a lifetime and put their scouting skills to the test to save mankind from the undead.

The horror-comedy was directed by Christopher Landon (Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones). The film stars Tye Sheridan (X-Men: Apocalypse), Logan Miller (Would You Rather), Joey Morgan, Sarah Dumont (Don Jon), David Koechner (Anchorman), Halston Sage (Goosebumps) and Niki Koss (The Appearing).

"Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" is scheduled for release on October 30, 2015.

Have You Been Naughty or Nice? Check out the Trailer for 'Krampus'

Better hope you're not on his naughty list

Legendary Pictures’ "Krampus," a darkly festive tale of a yuletide ghoul, reveals an irreverently twisted side to the holiday. 

When his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max (Emjay Anthony) is disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know, this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers. 

All hell breaks loose as beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own, laying siege to the fractured family’s home and forcing them to fight for each other if they hope to survive. 

The horror-comedy also stars Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, Allison Tolman, Conchata Ferrell, Stefania Lavie Owen and Krista Stadler.

Krampus and his mischievous underlings have been created by the combined efforts of Weta Workshop and Weta Digital, both renowned for their epic work on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies and King Kong, among many others.

Written and directed by Michael Dougherty ("Trick ’r Treat"), "Krampus" is co-written by Zach Shields and Todd Casey and produced by Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni, Alex Garcia and Dougherty. The film will be released by Universal Pictures.

"Krampus" will spread its yuletide terror in theaters on December 4, 2015.
