Brett DeJager’s supernatural slasher flick Bonejangles sure has some die-hard fans. Especially considering we just got word that the film’s sequel is heading our way. Yes, our buddies over at PopHorror just debuted the poster and some first-look stills from the upcoming sequel. You can check out the poster to the right and the stills […]

After slaughtering nearly all the local police force, the legendary immortal serial killer Bonejangles has finally capture. With Bonejangles now detained and heavily sedated, the four surviving officers need to transport him to a secure facility. On route, the police van breaks down in a cursed town called Argento(!), overrun by zombies and controlled by a succubus witch and to make it worse Bonejangles escapes.

There are plenty of horror comedies, but it is always difficult to get the right balance between the two. Bonejangles thankfully follows in the footsteps of the Hatchet series, by creating a mix of ridiculous laugh out comedy and enough bloody gore to keep most horror fans entertained. The violence in the film is played out...
