Movie Hype: Big Bad Film Fest This Weekend, The Re-Edited X-Files: I Want to Believe - Vrach Frankenshteyn & Oh, That's What Jonathan Majors Does Now?

The X-Files: I Want to Believe - Vrach Frankenshteyn ...re-edit by original creator Chris Carter is now up on Hulu. In another mystifying action by an elder show runner, Chris Carter has now released his director's cut of the film, which by many accounts doesn't save it. And, this doesn't tie-in with the new pilot from Sinner's director Ryan Coogler or even the LEGO set. It just sort of came out now.

Decider's Jesse Hassenger goes over more of the details about it on her piece Wait, Is There a New ‘X-Files’ Movie on Hulu? Explaining the History of the ‘I Want to Believe’ Director’s Cut 

You might remember Jonathan Majors fell through a window while making a movie a few months ago. Well, Run Hide Fight: Infidels is that movie. In what looks Majors going fully MAGA, terrorists take over a "woke" college and he has to save it. It'll be out online September 16th, we don't see plans for a theatrical release.

Halloween 2026: Blumhouse Enter's The Snack Trade Collabs On Cheetos: The Flavor of Fear

 

 
Cheetos: The Flavor of Fear is supposed to be out August 31st. Details are scant if it'll be in stores or specially purchased online, but here's hoping for in stores. This new snack that starts off with a cinnamon sugar taste apparently fizzes the longer it's in your mouth and heats up. Sounds like a horror movie in your mouth with that twist. The special packaging reminds you it's Halloween time and a collab with Blumhouse. QR codes on bags have not been explained yet, but we're guessing they're for short online scares and/or a contest.
