What's Up at the Squads
Filed under: Horror », Sci-Fi & Fantasy », Fandom », Lists »
We've some new writers shaking things up now and later at both Sci-Fi (not SyFy) Squad and Horror Squad, so this seemed like as good a time as any to shine a light on a couple of features making the rounds there.
Over on Sci-Fi: Erik updated us on the progress on a fan-made Star Wars re-creation that involved nearly 500 fans each tackling a scene, Peter Hall shared the original short film behind this week's feature-length 9, and Scott made a list of his top 100 sci-fi films of all time in the name of all that is twisting knickers.
Meanwhile, on Horror Squad: yours truly helped fill in the details regarding the shelf-sitting sequel to Cabin Fever, Peter Hall linked us to a free-for-all radio play incarnation of the clever and creepy Pontypool, and Weinberg made a list of his top 100 horror films of all time for the sake of causing ulcers the world over.
Gruesome New Pics From 'Cabin Fever 2'

When we first brought you pics from the set of Cabin Fever 2, it was kind of hard to make out what was going on. We knew some sh*t was going down at a prom, but we were unable to clearly see with our own eyes what sort of madness director Ti West was cooking up for the sequel. As you're probably already aware, the first Cabin Fever featured the directorial debut of Eli Roth. For practically no money (something like $1.5 million), Roth managed to scrape together a pretty decent horror flick; it went on to do good business at the box office, earned Roth a gig helming Hostel and the rest is history. Now, almost four years later, a second Cabin Fever is heading our way -- but this time, Roth handed over the reigns to West and newbie scribe Joshua Malkin.
Like Dread Central before, it appears Fangoria was at the same set visit, on the same day, while they were shooting the same scene. However, Fangoria has some much better images of the action taking place -- pics that include a group of prom patrons sprawled out on the floor, while a bucket full of red stuff is thrown all over them. God only knows what's going on in this scene (the folks from Fangoria aren't allowed to say), but I think it's safe to say no one is getting lucky after this dance. As far as plot goes, we're being told the flesh-eating virus from the first film returns; only this time, it decides to throw on a suit and party it up with a bunch of unsuspecting teens. Says West about the sequel: "Everything is quite gross and pushes the limits as far as they can go at times. It will be interesting to see what people think, because it's nothing like the first." Yum, looks delicious.
First 'Cabin Fever 2' Stills Come to Life

The splatter-fest started by director Eli Roth and his film Cabin Fever continues for director Ti West in the sequel to the film -- cleverly titled Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever. Matt Bradshaw recently brought us news of the sequel when filming began in North Carolina; we got casting news concerning the appearances of comedian Judah Friedlander, actor-director Larry Fessenden and the surprise return of original cast member Rider Strong, who's character apparently didn't die in the first film. We also got some plot details; the sequel's story concerns the return of the mysterious flesh eating virus as it infects a high school prom. Naturally, during the course of the film, blood, gore and nudity ensue.Now, thanks to Dread Central, we can add production stills to our small but growing cache of info about Cabin Fever 2. Over at the site they've posted a couple of pictures from their recent visit to the set. Among other things, the pictures show director West covered in gallons of fake blood and a very realistic shot of a poor student's hand being removed to stop the spread of the virus, giving us an indication that this film will not only continue the bloody scenes from Cabin Fever but will up the blood amount. The first Cabin Fever was a pretty cleaver horror movie that proved you don't need a huge budget or big stars. From what I can tell so far, the sequel looks to be shaping up as a worthy successor.
