A few years ago, Sophie Thatcher was living in an infamous apartment complex in Bushwick, Brooklyn. A converted industrial building featuring a myriad of lofted bedrooms and communal living spaces, it’s a residence known for wild parties and housing a cohort of DJs and skaters with a tendency to ghost whoever they’re dating. 

Thatcher’s well aware that it’s a bit of a cliche that she used to live there before moving to the East Village and more recently LA, which is where she’s now based. Thankfully, it wasn’t long until she no longer had to deal with neighbors who weren’t taking the early days of the pandemic seriously. By late 2020, she found out Showtime gave a series order to the pilot she shot back in 2019 and shortly after was filming the rest of the season in Vancouver. Now among the stars of what became Yellowjackets — one of the most popular, acclaimed prestige dramas on TV, with more than a few of its own subreddits — she seems to be a far cry from those humble Brooklyn beginnings. 

It’s safe to say that Yellowjackets — which just aired its second season and follows the trauma of a girls’ varsity soccer team after they survive a flight crash in the wilderness — has become a pop culture phenomenon. While there’s bone-chilling body horror, shocking cannibalism and mysteries to untangle, the series’ appeal is that the real terror at its helm is having to navigate the world as a 16-year-old girl or a middle-aged woman. For many viewers, there’s a validation in seeing the experience of girlhood depicted as relentless as it can be.

That’s the kind of art Thatcher has always been drawn to. As a music fan and student of cinema, she’s long retreated into works with darker themes to help make sense of her own reality. “BoJack Horseman is [my] comfort show. I grew up with Elliott Smith. When people ask me if his music depresses me, I’m like, ‘No, it centers me. It makes me feel like what I’m feeling isn’t the end of the world and that I’m not fucking alone in feeling that,” Thatcher says. “That’s all I want to do as an artist. Whatever I was feeling with his music really early on, I want to do that for other people with acting and art and music.” 

She’s doing that already, from playing headstrong, troubled Natalie on Yellowjackets and her upcoming role in the Stephen King adaptation The Boogeyman to the music she’s quietly been working on. So while she may not have exactly set out to be the next scream queen, you can count on her and her artistic endeavors to help usher you through the darkness. 

“It’s a release people can find solace within,” Thatcher says of Yellowjackets. “There’s so many scales of emotions — there’s rage, there’s loneliness, there’s pretty much everything that people can connect to at any point in their life. And that’s why I think it has such a specific audience.”

While her character Natalie, or “Nat” (who’s played by Juliette Lewis in the present timeline), faces neglect, isolation, addiction and questions surrounding faith in season 2, she speaks to anybody who sought escapism to cope in their youth. More than an angsty teenager with an affinity for grunge, Thatcher portrays Nat with immense strength, even though she struggles to admit to herself that she doesn’t have to be so strong all of the time.

“There’s something scary about doing [a show like Yellowjackets] so early in your career,” Thatcher says. “It’s empowering [working with] these women who have been in their careers for 25 years and to see how this has revived their careers, but there’s also something scary about it because it’s like, ‘How do I not top this? How can I continue to match this?’” 

Now, she’s realized the series and portraying such a complex character has allowed her to set a bar for herself in what projects she takes on going forward. 

Taking on Nat has been a challenging experience for Thatcher, in part because she feels like a heightened version of herself and it can be especially vulnerable to explore that, then have it be perceived. “I have to distance myself from that and realize that part of the job is being vulnerable. When you’re doing the job right, people can sense that you’re being vulnerable, and that’s what they connect to,” she says. “But then it’s also knowing that Natalie’s in me, but that’s not me. That’s a small part of me.”

This season in particular was intense — but for other reasons, like the cannibalism of it all. Nat, for instance, becomes the target of a hunger-crazed hunting chase at one point, and the banquet hallucination in episode 2 was overwhelmingly realistic to shoot. Some castmates vomited, and Thatcher felt close to experiencing a panic attack. Ultimately, though, she says they were great at “turning it off” and kept things light on set by joking about whether they would eat each other. By the end of the season, she even experienced her favorite Nat moment to date.

The scene is in the season finale. “With the exhaustion of wanting a little downtime and second season to be over, I felt this crazy mania on set I had never felt before — and hopefully it translated to the camera,” she says. “It’s this manic, glorious, grandiose scene, which was really fun to shoot. I went to my trailer and I cried after that. It was like, ‘I can breathe.’ I get that way sometimes, but that was one of the last moments I felt that way.”

That sense of relief is how she’s looking ahead at her career, too. While there are a couple more “very dark” projects she’s attached to that haven’t been announced quite yet, she’s ready to take on lighter projects, too. “I love sulking and living in that world,” she jokes. But even if it’s the “jaded, grittier” parts that she considers “fun,” she recognizes that’s a “headspace you can’t always live in.” 

So she’s been turning to music quite a bit, as both a passion project and to tap into those kinds of feelings that discovering Elliott Smith unlocked in her years ago. She sees it a bit differently from acting, which feels “more innate” to her because she’s been taking on characters or putting on plays since childhood. “Music gets to explore something further into my psyche and something far more personal, where it can be about me and it can be limitless, more abstract, something therapeutic,” she says.

It’s not the first time she’s tackled singing. When she was 18 years old, she made ambient, goth-noise music. Her new project is a stark departure from what she did in her parents’ basement, though. Nowadays, her music tends to sound a bit more mature and melodic.

“I know a lot of people say that they like to write when they’re feeling at their most vulnerable or the most low. Sometimes I want it to be, not exactly a blank slate, but to see where it lets me go,” she says.

It’s there that she finds a crossover between music and acting. “I like to improvise and start really raw. I find this with even going over lines for the first time for a character. I’m very fragile about when I do that, and I have to be in a really good headspace because the first time I ever set up a song or speak my lines, it’s very precious,” she says.

She’s not quite sure when she’ll release what she’s been working on, and feels a bit daunted by how many possibilities there are with music, but creating for the sake of creating has become important to her nevertheless. That even harks back to the best piece of advice she received from her Yellowjackets counterpart Lewis, who told her in an Interview Magazine feature “that it’s really important to finish your thought.” 

“It’s about initiating whatever you had in mind — and that’s it,” she says. “It’s so simple and so, so hard all at once.”

With Thatcher’s tenacity and immense feeling surrounding not just the power of art, but of creating, you get the sense that what she’s been working on will be quite affecting. 

In fact, it’s important to her to be surrounded by a creative community. For instance, she’s been working on music with her boyfriend, producer/Slow Hollows frontman Austin Anderson. “For me, it’s important to not just have actor friends. I like learning from my music friends that actually pursue it and do it seriously,” she says. 

And while she hasn’t quite “figured out” the LA scene yet, she’s remained embedded in the NYC music scene. She’s friends with and feels inspired by musicians like Shallowhalo and Harrison Patrick Smith (aka the Dare), so whenever she’s in the city, she tries her best to spend a night at a gig. “It’s really nice to see people getting the attention they deserve and for doing something so strictly theirs and so specifically theirs. It’s not like they’re following any trend or any scene,” she says. “They’re always going to label it a revival, but they’re doing their own thing.”

Thatcher’s doing her own thing, too. Whether on Yellowjackets as the fierce, misunderstood Natalie or with her to-be-released-someday singer-songwriter projects, feeling and creating a bit of light in the darkness seems to be the driving force.

Although the much-anticipated CW The Lost Boys TV series remains in limbo thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, fans of Joel Schumacher’s Peter Pan-inspired 1987 vampire film still have much to look forward to.

According to reports, musician G. Tom Mac, the man responsible for the original film’s theme song, “Cry Little Sister,” is nearing completion with plans for a Broadway musical based on The Lost Boys titled A Lost Boys Story. More than a mere retelling of the film’s story through song, A Lost Boys Story will provide the backstory of the vampire David, originally played by Keifer Sutherland, recounting his childhood and transformation as well as his introduction to the other Lost Boys.

“At 17-18, he hits the road, and that’s when he picks up the other vampires and basically creates a family with the three other guys,” Mac tells Syfy Wire. “They all come from different walks of life in Middle America, the Midwest, Arizona, and then they head to California. That’s when all the good stuff starts.”

Casting is currently underway in hopes of a 2022 premiere. Although none of the leads are locked in as of this writing, Mac revealed he’s in talks with veteran actor Malcolm McDowell for the role of head vampire Max who was originally played by the late Edward Herrmann.

Mac also tells Syfy that A Lost Boys Story benefited from the input and blessing of filmmaker Joel Schumaker who passed away in June.

“There was nobody more engaged with my musical over the past few years,” Mac says of the late director. “He understood musical theater, and we would have many conversations. I knew he was ill, but he’d get on the phone for two to three hours and go over notes and various things. He was just a wonderful human being. Intense, but that was part of his incredible personality. Great guy, I certainly miss him.”

Fans of 2018’s Halloween can look forward to a bloody good time with the upcoming sequel Halloween Kills. According to a recent tweet from director David Gordon Green, the next chapter won’t be holding back.

During Blumhouse’s watch party for the 2018 film, Green cryptically alluded to a Halloween Kills scene he describes as “the most violent” one he’s directed. Co-star Andi Matichak, who plays Laurie Strode’s granddaughter Allyson, concurs. She tweeted, “Violence takes on a whole new meaning in Halloween Kills.”

Read more: Here are 10 of the most cliche horror movie tropes

Scheduled for an Oct. 15, 2021 theatrical release, Halloween Kills continues the saga of Strode and killer Michael Myers. It picks up from the events of the 2018 film, which we saw in a teaser this month.

Surviving cast members Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Charles Cyphers, Nancy Stephens, Kyle Richards and Matichak will all be returning. ’80s bratpacker Anthony Michael Hall is joining as grown-up Tommy Doyle, originally portrayed by Brian Andrews in 1978’s Halloween.

Fan-favorite Nick Castle will once again don the mask sharing duties as The Shape with actor/stuntman James Jude Courtney. Halloween Kills, the second in Blumhouse’s trilogy of direct sequels to John Carpenter’s classic, will be followed by Halloween Ends in 2022. However, we wouldn’t bet on that film being the end of Myers, nor will it mark the end of star Curtis’ horror career. The 61-year-old scream queen will be making her directorial debut for Blumhouse with the horror film Mother Nature sometime after Halloween Ends’ release.

Last May, it was revealed that Jigsaw would be returning in a “reimagined” reboot starring Chris Rock.

Rock is an executive producer alongside Daniel Heffner and series creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell.

“I’ve been a fan of ‘Saw’ since the first film in 2004,” Rocks said. “I am excited by the opportunity to take this to a really intense and twisted new place.”

Joe Drake, Chairman of Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group, also expressed his excitement for the reboot.

“When Chris Rock came to us and described in chilling detail his fantastic vision that reimagines and spins-off the world of the notorious Jigsaw Killer, we were all-in. Chris conceived this idea and it will be completely reverential to the legacy of the material while reinvigorating the brand with his wit, creative vision and passion for this classic horror franchise.”

Director Darren Lynn Bousman, who was the directorial mastermind behind Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV, returns to the franchise with the new film.

The movie follows Detective Banks  (Rock) as he is assigned to a horrible murder scene. The killer is targeting cops and leaves behind a red spiral, much like the one seen on the face of Saw‘s notable puppet Billy.

Samuel L. Jackson is also making an appearance in the film as Bank’s father.

The preview starts off normal enough with Banks and his partner on patrol. After chatting fro a bit, they get a call for all units available because an officer is down.

“A sadistic mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in Spiral, the terrifying new chapter from the book of Saw,” Reads the synopsis. “Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran (Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks and his rookie partner (Max Minghella, as seen in The Handmaid’s Tale) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game.”

After it was brought to light that we’re getting a new installment of the Scream series, fan theories have been going around as to what could happen in the new film.

One such theory bouncing around says Randy Meeks, played by Jamie Kennedy in the first three Scream movies, could have faked his death, and the actor is getting behind this.

It’s definitely an interesting theory given Meeks met his demise in the second film and only made a cameo in the third, which seemed to seal his fate. If the films continue the story laid out in the series so far, a plot like this could change the way the first four movies are viewed now.

Bloody Disgusting broke the news, revealing Gary Barber’s Spyglass Media Group is developing the next film. The reveal follows shortly after previously announced plans for Barber’s group to reboot Hellraiser.

Wes Craven directed all four Scream films prior to his 2015 passing, also producing the second and fourth installments. Kevin Williamson (I Know What You Did Last Summer, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later) penned all but Scream 3. The screenwriter produced instead, and Ehren Kruger (The Ring, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen) wrote the script.

There aren’t many details at the moment, but Bloody Disgusting says Williamson hasn’t signed on to write the fifth film as of now. Deadline also confirmed the movie is going ahead, noting it’s unclear whether this will be a prequel, reboot or sequel.

Fans were initially sceptical about how the show could have a follow-up with the way the first season ended. The solution is apparently to make it an anthology like American Horror Story with the same cast playing different characters.

The new title suggests the series will be based on an 1890s horror story called The Turn of the Screw. The story involves a governess watching over two orphans following the death of their parents at Bly Manor. She begins seeing ghosts, and the situation gets sinister.

The Haunting of Bly Manor will be premiering on Netflix sometime in 2020, though no exact release date has been revealed.

The majority of both parts were filmed in Port Hope, Ontario, with select scenes being shot in Toronto and other spots throughout the Greater Toronto area. While big movie sets and celebrities are pretty normal to most Toronto residents, It has been a huge shakeup for Port Hope and has surely been an exciting thing for many residents of the area.

Port Hope’s marketing and tourism manager Kevin Narraway told Global News the residents enjoyed being a part of the film and expected over $1 million to be made for the municipality during filming. 

“I keep saying to people, ‘Enjoy it: The circus has come to town,’” Narraway said. “It’s a bit of make believe right now, and it’s not costing us anything. There is no new infrastructure we have to build. There’s not [fire] hydrants or services or electricity we need to run.”

With the second part of the movie arriving soon, we wanted to break down some of the locations used throughout both films. Take a look below for some history on the spots you can visit from the It movies. 

1. The sewer grate

 The most recognizable scene in any version of It is the opening sequence where Georgie gets his arm torn off by Pennywise. It’s the introduction to viewers who are about to experience what’s easily one of the most terrifying scenes to show It, even if it comes quickly. 

The sewer grate where this scene goes down is located in the Weston area of Toronto, just a short drive from the downtown core to the Northern suburbs in York. It was filmed near Springmount Avenue and William Street with the grate being custom-built into the street specifically for that scene. 

2. The Paul Bunyan statue

After the adult Losers’ Club return to Derry, they each individually walk through the town and have their own experiences being revisited by It. If the new film follows how the book goes, Richie Tozier will come face to face with a massive Paul Bunyan statue attempting to murder him. Based on the scenes in the trailer, we’re guaranteed someone will face the Bunyan statue, though they could change it up. 

The massive prop piece was hauled into Port Hope’s Memorial Park, a staple of the little town. The park often hosts free movie nights and has an outdoor stage for concerts, including free shows every Thursday during the summer. You can see the stage setup for those shows in the background of some shots too. 

3. The school

The school appears in a few different scenes throughout the film, but it wasn’t filmed at a real school. The filmmakers redesigned the Mount Mary Retreat Centre in Ancaster near Hamilton to look like Derry High School. The convent was originally built as Wynnstay Estate in 1925 on a 100-acre farming property and was later purchased by a Byzantine Ukrainian Catholic Congregation. A private school was eventually built but closed in the mid-’70s. Today it’s used for religious retreats and, of course, the filming of It. 

4. The library

Within the adult Losers’ Club, Ben’s the one who spends the most time at the library in Derry, and it’s well guaranteed they’ll be back there again in the second film. The library’s look actually comes from a few separate locations spread apart from each other. 

The exterior is Port Hope’s Town Hall with a new sign placed on the front lawn. Once inside, though, all of the clips are filmed at locations in Toronto. The upstairs library shots are done at Wycliffe College located in the center of the University of Toronto’s campus. The scene in the first It film where Ben ventures into the archives and is chased by Pennywise was shot at the West Toronto Masonic Temple.  

5. The Barrens

 The kids spend most of their time hanging out in the Barrens and finish forming the Losers’ Club during the rockfight down there. While the woodsy area looks like it could be ripped out of any small town, it’s actually located at Rouge Park in Toronto suburb Scarborough and touches into Markham and Pickering. 

The majority of the scenes in the Barrens were shot down there. But, there’s an extended scene with the group jumping off a cliff into water at a quarry. The filmmakers took the set out of Rouge Park for this part and headed to nearby Elora. Specifically, the Elora Gorge, a popular local tourist attraction in the conservation area.

 Pennywise’s house was built from scratch just for the movies in nearby Oshawa. Even during the day, the house has an eerie look and brought tons of attraction to the area. Much like the Derry Library, though, multiple locations were used to pull together the shots completed at the house. 

The interior was actually filmed at 450 Pape Ave. in Toronto where the historic Cranfield House is located. The massive mansion acted as a social aid center for decades before being abandoned and later used for films. While most people were excited about the filming of It happening there, local residents were not too happy and filed numerous noise complaints, even staging a protest against the set. 

7. Kenduskeag Stream

 A notable spot that comes up in a number of Stephen King works is the Kenduskeag Stream, and while it pops up in many scenes, the real creek doesn’t show up in the It movies. Instead of the sprawling Maine stream making an appearance, Port Hope’s Ganaraska River plays the part. The river flows into the nearby harbor which eventually leads into Lake Ontario. 

8. The sewers

 The dark, grimy sewers where the kids battle Pennywise is also near Lake Ontario with the set being built at Pinewood Studios. Pinewood is the largest film and TV complex in all of Canada located right in Toronto, hosting numerous famous movies over the years. 

The building was made in the mid-2000s and since then has seen everything from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World to Pacific Rim to Suicide Squad. The sewer scenes in the first It film were crucial to the story’s development and will no doubt be a huge component of the forthcoming film as well.

 In Chapter One, Ben gets bullied by Henry Bowers and his gang, eventually getting cut with a knife and chased through the Barrens after falling off the backing near a bridge. That bridge is actually far away from the majority of the other filming locations, residing near Waterloo in West Montrose. 

Distinctly along the Grand River, also known as the Kissing Bridge, it’s not only the last remaining wooden-covered bridge in Ontario, but it’s also the oldest bridge of its kind in Canada. It also makes an appearance in the ’90s horror film In The Mouth Of Madness.

According to Production Weekly (via ComicBook.com), Netflix is planning to start shooting the fourth season as soon as this October.

The news lines up well with what actress Cara Buono, who plays Karen Wheeler, said recently. The actress made some comments about the release, saying “We start shooting Season 4 in October,” causing fans to speculate a 2020 release.

This filming schedule is definitely possible. Filming in October would put the fourth season two months ahead of season three’s production schedule which took 14 months total.

Given the season’s snowy conclusion, the Duffer brothers could be in for delivering us a special Christmas gift.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Duffer’s revealed the Stranger Things gang could be leaving Hawkins, IN.

According to the pair, the fourth season already feels “very different” from season three. They added that they will “open up a little bit” in terms of plot, which means we might be seeing a lot more than just the Hawkins pool and mall.

“I think the biggest thing that’s going to happen is it’s going to open up a little bit, not necessarily in terms of scale, in terms of special effects, but open up in terms of allowing plotlines into areas outside of Hawkins.,” Matt Duffer said in the interview.

This is all very exciting news, particularly if you’re invested in finding out the fate of a certain character who could or could not be in Russia as of the final scene of the third season.

According to Sun Journal, the new owners are starting to experience paranormal happenings that could relate to the horrors that happened there in the 1970’s.

“We had doors opening, footsteps and knocks,” new owner Cory Heinzen explained. “I’ve had a hard time staying there by myself. I don’t have the feeling of anything evil, [but] it’s very busy. You can tell there’s a lot of things going on in the house.”

In case you’ve forgotten, The Conjuring is based on the true story of the Perron family who sought help from the late Ed and Lorraine Warren for the paranormal events going on in their house.

Apparently, the couple is planning on letting the public come to enjoy the haunted house themselves. They’re looking to preserve the home while also adding extensive renovations allowing tourists to spend the night in the home.

“This whole journey has been both scary—for many reasons other than paranormal—and exciting all at once,” Jennifer Heinzen added. “I love that we have the opportunity to share the home with others.”

The series is returning with its third installation Sept. 11, 2020. Director Michael Chaves has been hyping fans up for the new movie for a little while now ahead of its release.
