AITH Horror Vids of the Week: Leviathan, The Crow 2, Ghostface, Short Film

The first nine months of this year were a long, hard road, but now that we've reached October it's time for a full month of Halloween fun. On this first Friday of the Halloween season, we're doing what we do every Friday: gathering all of the latest additions to our JoBlo Horror YouTube channel (check it out and subscribe HERE) together in one place. It's the AITH HORROR VIDEOS OF THE WEEK!

This week we took a look at the 1989 aquatic horror film LEVIATHAN with an episode of THE F*CKING BLACK SHEEP, featured writer/director Dominic Grose's short film OTHER as part of our horror short film showcase, dug into the behind-the-scenes issues on THE CROW: CITY OF ANGELS to find out WTF HAPPENED TO THIS HORROR MOVIE?, and went BEHIND THE (MOVIE) KILLER with an investigation of the SCREAM franchise's iconic Ghostface. All of these videos can be seen below.

THE CROW 2: CITY OF ANGELS (1996) – WTF Happened to this Horror Movie?! 

After the mammoth success of THE CROW in 1994; of course a sequel was bound to happen. THE CROW CITY OF ANGELS (1996) looked promising at first (the book The Crow – City of Angels : A Diary of the Film promised a much better picture).

The original intent was to create a very different kind of film when compared to the original, out of respect for the late Brandon Lee. Alas the Weinsteins (aka Harvey and Bob Weinstein aka meddling producers) got in there (again) and went scissor happy in the edit, structuring it to look more like a pale copy of the original instead of a film that stands on its own.

Director Tim Pope and screenwriter David S. Goyer, eventually disowned the movie, as the final product did not represent their intended vision. Follow us behind the scenes as we get a taste of the sequel that could have been and figure out WTF Happened to this Horror Movie?!

SERIES M.O. Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster, but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?
