AITH Horror Vids of the Week: Astronaut’s Wife, Freddy vs. Jason, UFO Show!

Every Friday we welcome the weekend by gathering all of the latest additions to our JoBlo Horror YouTube channel (check it out and subscribe HERE) together in one place. It's time for the AITH HORROR VIDEOS OF THE WEEK!

This week, we gave some positive attention to the 1999 thriller THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE in the latest episode of THE F*CKING BLACK SHEEP, followed FREDDY VS. JASON's decade-long journey through development hell for WTF HAPPENED TO THIS HORROR MOVIE?, and released the premiere episode of our new series, THE UFO SHOW! All of these videos can be seen below.

THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE (1999) – The Black Sheep

Johnny Depp was going mainstream in the mid/late '90s. Tag to that to a young Charlize Theron who was had just killed the screen in DEVILS ADVOCATE and you get a sure hit with THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE right? Wrong. This big-budget genre film failed to ignite audiences and saw a pathetic return. Twenty-one years later, THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE has been left in the past to be forgotten. Yet this slow-burn thriller has aged exceptionally well. Allow us to defend THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE!

The film is about: After an explosion in space and subsequent two-minute radio-out period, two astronauts return home to their wives. Slightly it's revealed that they're not the same as they were.

FREDDY VS. JASON – WTF Happened to this Horror Movie

FREDDY VS. JASON was a mash-up of genre icons that fans had been hearing about for since the mid-1980s, but the film didn't hit the big screen until 2003. In the latest episode of WTF HAPPENED TO THIS HORROR MOVIE, we claw and machete deep into the years the project spent in development hell. Tap the video and find out exactly why it took so long for Freddy and Jason to go mano et mano on the big screen

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?
