You are spot on. They were! The director did confirm that he was holding treats or tennis balls off camera in scary scenes.

Last summer, I visited the set of PREDATOR: BADLANDS and learned so much about the myriad of creatures, weapons, and unconventional characters featured in the film.

"My pitch was that it was like Chewbacca and C-3PO, the movie."

Out today on Shudder is V/H/S/HALLOWEEN. One of its segments was inspired by SFX legend Rick Baker, who also appears in the anthology, and pitched as an R-rated Goosebumps episode:

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

Please don’t purchase this BFI 4K of Herzog’s remake of “Nosferatu”.

Not only is the cover art redone with A.I. but the entire film is A.I. scrubbed beyond recognition.

Easily one of the worst releases of the year.

Let’s hope Scream Factory’s version is better.
