Last year, we learned that the home video distribution company Vinegar Syndrome is getting into making original productions, teaming up with the production company Not the Funeral Home, which brings the world the Shudder streaming series The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, on the first of their Vinegar Syndrome Originals. That film is called Eight Eyes – and given the working relationship Not the Funeral Home has with Shudder, it’s no surprise to hear (via Screen Daily) that Shudder has picked up the North American streaming rights. A release date has not yet been announced, as the deal just happened.
Directed by The Last Drive-In director Austin Jennings, who also wrote the screenplay with Matthew Frink, Eight Eyes has the following synopsis: A mysterious local crashes a couple’s vacation through the former Yugoslavia, pulling them deeper into his web of psychic rituals.

Shudder announced a while back that they had renewed The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs for a supersized sixth season that will make sure legendary drive-in critic and movie host Joe Bob will be an even more consistent presence on the streaming service throughout the year. The season 6 action kicked off with a special (A Tribute to Roger Corman) that aired last Friday, and on March 29th the season will really get rolling with its new approach. In the previous seasons, Joe Bob would host double features on a weekly basis. This time, episodes will air every other Friday night, and instead of the usual double features, Joe Bob will be presenting “single titles and surprises”. Single titles every other Friday is how Shudder intends to spread the episodes out over a longer period of the year. In anticipation of this new season of blood, breasts, and beasts, JoBlo...

Nicolas Cage will pick up this year’s Cheval Noir Career Achievement Award at Fantasia.
“He is one of the most individualistic and captivating screen presences in the last 40 years. Beyond his unique charisma, the kinds of atypical characters he’s been drawn to and what he can bring to them is so special and rare,” artistic director Mitch Davis told Variety.
“Audiences lose their minds when he goes to these energetically extreme places: ‘Vampire’s Kiss’ was my first experience with that and I was absolutely floored. But they are also transfixed by the quiet, textured qualities he brings to more somber characters. He’s a one-of-a-kind treasure in American film.”
Throughout the years, Cage has been embracing genre cinema, admitted Davis. And it has embraced him back.

Just a few weeks ago, the Shudder streaming service released a special edition of their series The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs that was called Joe Bob’s Haunted Halloween Hangout and had legendary movie host Joe Bob Briggs sharing the screen with fellow legend Elvira. For the last few years, it has been tradition for Shudder to release a Joe Bob special around Halloween – and it’s also tradition for them to release a Joe Bob special around Christmas. That tradition continues this year, as Shudder has announced that the new special Joe Bob’s Ghoultide Get-Together will premiere Friday, December 16, at 9pm on Shudder TV. The special will then be available to watch on demand as of Sunday, December 18.
Joe Bob’s Ghoultide Get-Together has the following synopsis: Joe Bob celebrates Christmas the drive-in way, complete with The Last Drive-In’s third annual holiday auction with proceeds going to charity.

We suspected that this special would be the one legendary movie host Cassandra Peterson, a.k.a. Elvira, said she would be appearing on – and now it has been confirmed! A promo has been released for the special, which is called Joe Bob’s Haunted Halloween Hangout, and it shows Peterson interacting with Joe Bob Briggs, who is something of a legend himself.

Last night, horror fans around the world tuned in for the live stream of A Very Joe Bob Christmas on Shudder, a nine hour event, which featured Joe Bob Briggs' signature intros and commentary, special guests and four of the Phantasm films. These live stream marathons have been some of my favorite horror events of the year, instantly bringing me back to the days of staying up late watching MonsterVision, but I also love it because it's recreating the drive-in experience for an all new generation of horror fans and introducing people to horror films they might not watch otherwise. If you couldn't catch the live stream or had technical difficulties, the entire event is now available on demand.
