Chilling First Trailer for BLACK PHONE 2 - "Dead Is Just a Word" — GeekTyrant
Universal Pictures has released the first trailer and poster for Scott Derrickson's horror film Black Phone 2 , and it sees the return of Ethan Hawke's villainous character The Grabber, who is haunting Finney (Mason Thames) and Gwen (Madeleine McGraw) from beyond the grave. This looks like it's going to be a pretty creepy sequel. I loved the first film, and I'm excited to see how the next chapter of this story plays out! The director previously described the film as 'a high school coming-of-age movie in the same way that the first movie was a middle school coming-of-age film." The creator of the story, Joe Hill, said: "There have been some really, really good conversations about a sequel. And the thing is, as soon as I saw the mask, which was designed by Tom Savini and Jason Baker, as soon as I saw the mask I thought, 'If this film is a hit, there'll be a sequel,' because the mask is so iconic. 'It is like Freddy Krueger's glove, it is like Michael Myers' mask, it is this thing where it's the imagery, iconic imagery, that haunts people's sleep. 'And, look, in horror, guys like Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger, and Frankenstein, and Dracula, none of these guys stay buried. They all claw their way out of the grave for a sequel and then a threequel." He continued, "There have been talks about how to do a sequel that wouldn't suck. How to do a sequel that doesn't cheapen the film that came before, that's still scary, that's still intense, that feels organic. 'And those conversations have been pretty good. But if I were to provide any details, Scott and [writer C. Robert] Cargill would lock me in the basement in the film, and that's it. 'And the phone doesn't work. As you know, the phone doesn't work. I can't call anyone to get out. So I would decline to offer any real granular details about the possible sequel." The Black Phone 2 in theaters on October 17, 2025.

Ryan Coogler hosts 'Sinners' screening in Mississippi town where film is set
Hundreds of people packed inside a local auditorium Thursday to see the hit film ' Sinners,' set in their community and steeped in Mississippi Delta culture. The special screening of the blockbuster horror film included an appearance by Director Ryan Coogler and was made possible by a community petition. 'I have family from Mississippi — my uncle, my grandfather — and I had never been until working on this script,' Coogler said, addressing the crowd. 'It really changed me, just to come here.' The movie, starring Michael B. Jordan as twins, is about two brothers coming home to Mississippi to launch a juke joint. It's also a supernatural vampire flick that blends elements of drama, action and music. 'Sinners' composer Ludwig Göransson, actor Miles Canton and others who worked on the film also attended the screening. 'Anytime that filmmakers take the time out to pay homage to the Delta, especially, because we're the root of music, the blues culture, that means a lot,' said Brandice Brown Williams, a theater teacher who brought two of her students to the screening. The film is set in 1930s Clarksdale, Mississippi, but current day Clarksdale doesn't have a movie theater, making it difficult for people to see the film about their hometown. Community organizers decided to change that, starting a petition to invite the cast and crew to Clarksdale and to collaborate on hosting a public screening. 'The love you have for Southern folk, Mississippians and Clarksdale came to life through your commitment to writing us right,' community organizer Tyler Yarbrough said. 'We are ready. We are waiting. And we would be proud to welcome you back to where it all began.' During the screening, the crowd was expressive — in response to various scenes, they gasped, laughed and cheered. Afterward, Coogler and others stayed for a Q&A. One attendee, Cindy Hurst, praised the film, calling it a "really good visual representation of the beauty of the Black culture.'

Ceiling collapses in Argentine theatre during 'Final Destination' screening
A movie theatre in Argentina gave some moviegoers a real-life scare during a screening of the new horror film Final Destination: Bloodlines when part of the ceiling suddenly collapsed, reported Deadline. An Argentine digital publication, Infobae reported that the incident took place on May 19 during a 9 pm show at Cinema Ocho in La Plata, Buenos Aires. Around 40 people were watching the sixth film in the Final Destination series when debris from the roof of theatre No. 4 fell onto the audience. "A really loud noise was heard... At first, we thought it was part of the movie because we were so engrossed; but immediately after, a piece of rubble fell on me," 29-year-old Fiamma Villaverde, who attended the screening with her daughter and a friend, told the outlet, as per Deadline. According to the publication, videos shared from the theatre show a large hole in the ceiling and debris scattered on the floor. People can be heard talking in shock as the screening came to an abrupt halt. Villaverde later said she suffered bruises and trauma from the falling debris. She has since missed work and plans to take legal action. "I just lost days off work," she said. An X-ray confirmed her injuries. According to Deadline, local reports also suggest that recent heavy rainfall may have weakened the ceiling structure. The theatre has yet to release a statement. Final Destination: Bloodlines, which opened on May 16, has been a big success at the box office and received positive reviews.
