Spooky thriller The Pact gets a sequel

The Pact was hands down one of the best movies of last year. Don't believe me? Read my review , bitches! Done? Good. Suffice to say, I'm actually excited about a follow up to writer/director Nicolas McCarthy's indie flick. The Pact 2 will be written by Dallas Hallam and directed by Patrick Horvath. The duo apparently made a movie called Entrance that debuted at the L.A. Film Festival in 2011. Never heard of it. Will have to seek it out. The Pact 2 picks up a few weeks after the events of the original, following a woman whose carefully constructed life begins to unravel due to nightmares that disturb her waking life. No word yet on when cameras roll, but stick with us! We'll keep you in the loop. And if you haven't seen The Pact, seek it out. Well worth the watch.

Ruh-roh! Scooby Doo goes dark in Saturday Morning Massacre

Ever wonder what would happen if Scooby Doo and the gang were taken out of Saturday morning cartoons and dumped in the real world? Well, that's the premise behind director Spencer Parsons's upcoming horror parody Saturday Morning Massacre. The film follows four ghosts hunters who travel the country in a vintage van with their canine companion and investigate the paranormal. Sound Familiar? They get far more than they bargained for when they take on an old mansion with a twisted past. If done right, this could be a lot of fun. And the trailer below certainly holds promise. Saturday Morning Massacre is an official selection at this weekend's Los Angeles Film Festival, so our L.A.-based Basement Dwellers might want to check it out and let us know your thoughts. No word yet on a theatrical release, but we'll keep you updated. Until then, here's the trailer for your eye holes.
