Horror News - Tobe Hooper and Ruggero Deodato!!

Here's a little fun news for you guys. I found out about this and had to fill you all in. True horror fans should be excited!

Ruggero Deodato, the man behind films such as House on the Edge of the Park and Cannibal Holocaust, is re-teaming with House star Giovanni Lambardo Radice (Ricky) to develop a sequel to House at the Edge of the Park! The original was released in 1980, so over thirty years later the two are back together. No word on what the story entails yet, however it is being written by Andrew Jones based on a story by Deodato and Radice. Here's hoping we see this one get off the ground! Remember, this is the man who's been promising us a Cannibal Holocaust sequel for decades.

Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist, Texas Chainsaw, The Mangler, Toolbox Murders) is now confirmed as the director of the new Djinn horror film. It's being described as an "Arabian haunted house thriller" that will begin shooting int he United Arab Emirates in March. The premise is described as follows: "It tells the story of a young Emirati couple who return home from the U.S. and discover that their new apartment in a luxury high-rise built on the site of an abandoned fishing village is also home to malevolent beings known as Djinn."
Fingers crossed everyone, as Hooper has been a little uneven lately.

I'll bring you guys more details as I find them. And, as usual, I check all my stories before I report them here. This has been confirmed several other places as well as bloodydisgusting.com who are always reliable.
