The Tremors 3: Back to Perfection episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? was Written by Cody Hamman, Narrated by Adam Walton, Edited by Jaime Vasquez, Produced by Andrew Hatfield and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

Subterranean creatures become two-legged, gliding Ass Blasters in the second sequel to Tremors. Kevin Bacon isn’t there to fight them. Neither is Fred Ward. But Michael Gross is still around and ready to save the day… in a movie that didn’t have quite enough money or time to bring its monster action to the screen. Today we’re talking about Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (watch it Here). And we’re going to find out What the F*ck Happened to This Horror Movie!

Directed by Ron Underwood from a script he crafted with Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson, the 1990 film Tremors is one of the greatest creature features ever made.

The seventh film in the cult classic Tremors series Tremors: Island Fury began filming in Thailand last week. And to celebrate the beginning of principal photography, the official Tremors Instagram page shared a fun video intro with Gross looking like a homeless Santa Clause. And before you say anything, I know what you're thinking. Is that Napoleon Dynamite and Flaca from Orange Is the New Black hanging out with the South Bend Shovel Slayer on vacation? And to that question, I have to say, yes, crazy as it sounds, yes that is Jon Heder and Jackie Cruz hugging all up on the new My Name is Earl version of Burt Gummer.

And speaking of Cruz, the My Own Worst Enemy and Kourtney & Khlo&#233 Take Miami actress also took to Instagram to share a pic of herself getting all kinds of chummy-chummy with Tremors: Island Fury and What Happened to Monday,...

Rejoice, Tremors fans as today we have word that Universal has just given the green light to the seventh entry in the creature feature series, Tremors 7! But that's not all. Oh, no. Today we also learned that franchise mainstay and all-around badass Michael Gross aka Burt Gummer aka the maniac with All the guns, will be returning to his classic role once again. Gross himself took to Facebook to announce his involvement with the seventh film in the series, writing this.

"Tremors fans will be delighted to know I have just agreed to the terms of a contract for a Seventh film. My best estimate is that Burt Gummer will begin his hunt for Graboids and other nefarious forms of wildlife in the fall of 2019.

Gross has played Gummer more than a few times by this point so his involvement shouldn't be a shock to anyone. It's still an utter joy,...

In this, the sixth film in the long-running Tremors franchise, Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) and his son Travis Welker (Jamie Kennedy) are called to a research facility in the frozen tundra of the Canadian Arctic. They find themselves up to their ears in Graboids and Ass-Blasters investigating a series of deadly giant-worm attacks. Burt begins to suspect that Graboids are secretly being weaponized, but before he can prove his theory, he is side-lined by Graboid venom. With just 48 hours to live, the only hope is to create an antidote from fresh venom – but to do that, someone will have to figure out how to milk a Graboid.

Ok, so we’re on the sixth film in the series and the second to feature Jaime Kennedy… Which is not a...

Gun lover Burt Gummer and his son head north to the arctic tundra for their latest fight against the Graboids in the new trailer for Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell, coming to Blu-ray, DVD, Digital, and VOD platforms on May 1st from Universal 1440 Entertainment:

Press Release: Universal City, California, February 6, 2018 – Get ready for a wild and lethal adventure in the next chapter of the beloved cult-classic Tremors franchise, Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell, arriving on Blu-rayTM combo pack, DVD, Digital and On Demand on May 1, 2018 from Universal 1440 Entertainment, the original content production arm of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Tremors patriarch Michael Gross (“Family Ties,” “Suits”) reprises his iconic role as Graboid-hunting Burt Gummer along with Jamie Kennedy (“The Cleveland Show,” Scream franchise) as Burt’s son Travis Welker in this all-new terrifying yet hilarious movie filled with even more quick-witted humor, screwball antics and action-packed thrills than ever before.

While these pictures may not include any monsters – nor anyone that looks particularly chilly – the first images from Tremors 6: A Cold Day In Hell are entirely on-brand for the iconic horror-comedy franchise, which is now in its 28th year.

Featuring Michael Gross as Burt Gummer – the only character to have appeared in every Tremors project released so far – they reveal plenty of guns being aimed out of buildings, pneumatic drills and some tense ‘don’t walk on the ground!’ shots. Mostly, though, we can see that Gross and his cast are having a great time, and that’s really what this franchise is all about.

The premise for the series is gloriously simple. Back in 1990, we saw the tiny, desert town of Perfection ravaged by monsters called Graboids that live under the sand. With the action then led by Kevin Bacon’s Val McKee and Fred Ward’s Earl Bass,...

Tremors fans must be wallowing in the warm light of riches, as the franchise continues to have big plans of the future. Not only are we getting the return of Kevin Bacon in a new Tremors TV show, the movie franchise is continuing on as strong as ever with the sixth installment Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell. Today we have a first look at this exciting sequel, starring Michael Gross and Jamie Kennedy.

Universal Pictures Home Entertainment division announced the sequel in 2017, when production kicked off almost exactly one year ago today. Now, the movie is finished, and a trailer should be on the way soon. Universal offered this official synopsis.

"Intrepid creature hunter Burt Gummer and his son Travis find themselves in a remote hotbed of giant man-eating worms in the newest action-packed entry in the wildly popular Tremors franchise."

The movie was shot in Cape Town, South Africa,...

While Kevin Bacon is reprising his role as Valentine "Val" McKee in a new Tremors TV series pilot episode for Syfy, Michael Gross is gearing up for the release of his sixth Tremors movie, A Cold Day in Hell, which is teased in a batch of new images.

Unveiled exclusively by Screen Rant, the new Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell images feature Gross as survival enthusiast and massive sandworm slayer Burt Gummer, as well as Jamie Kennedy as his Travis B. Welker, Gummer's right-hand man who joined him on his adventures in Tremors 5: Bloodlines.

Did you know they're still making Tremors movies? Because they are and a sixth movie in the long-running franchise is on the way in 2018. The movie has been in the works for a while now and will see star Michael Gross return once again as Burt Gummer, doing what he does best; hunting Graboids. Now, the movie has been given an official PG-13 rating by the MPAA. In addition, Tremors 6 has been given an official title.

The new Tremors flick is officially titled Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell. The title refers to the setting in the Canadian tundra. As for the PG-13 rating? That shouldn't come as a big surprise, as every movie in the franchise to date has been given the same rating. Tremors 6 has earned the rating for, "creature violence, gore, crude humor, and language." That sounds like a Tremors movie alright.

In Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell,...

Sorry, Graboid fans, but if you've been waiting to see Tremors 6 next year, the wait just got quite a bit longer. The Tremors movie was originally scheduled to arrive on January 30, 2018, but franchise star Michael Gross has revealed that Tremors 6 has officially been pushed back to summer 2018. Though, the exact date, or reason for the change, has not yet been revealed. Here's what he had to say about it.

"This next Tremors film is scheduled to arrive in May, 2018."

Michael Gross made the reveal while replying to a fan on his personal Facebook page who had asked about the release date for Tremors 6. Michael Gross regularly provides updates on the movie, via his Facebook page, and he recently revealed that he was recording some dialogue for the movie. In the comments section, it was revealed that we now have to wait another four months for some new Tremors action.

Clear your calendars, lovers of monsters and B-movies, because Tremors 6 is on the way. And now we know when you will be able to see it. Just don't expect to be seeing it in a theater near you, as it will likely be direct-to-video, but still. Thanks to franchise star Michael Gross, it has been confirmed that Tremors 6 will rear its head from the sand, and maybe even the ice this time around, in January 2018.

Michael Gross, who (usually) plays Burt Gummer in the Tremors franchise, took to Facebook to announced that Universal has settled on a release date for Tremors 6. The movie is now set to arrive on January 30, 2018. That will put it right in the heart of a pretty slow time during the year in terms of movie releases, so that could pay off. But the movie won't really be relying on box office since...

Earlier this year, it was officially announced that Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) and Travis Welker (Jamie Kennedy) will go up against more Graboids in Tremors 6, and now Gross has revealed the release date for the sequel.

According to Gross' recent Facebook post, Universal Studios is planning to release Tremors 6 on January 30th, 2018 (on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD, as per the previous press release below).

No other updates are known at this time, but we'll keep Daily Dead readers posted on further details as they are revealed. In the meantime, we have the previous press release with the official synopsis and casting info:

Press Release: Universal City, California, February 16, 2017 – Intrepid creature hunter Burt Gummer and his son Travis find themselves in a remote hotbed of giant man-eating worms in the newest action-packed entry in the wildly popular Tremors franchise. Currently in production in Cape Town, South Africa, this outrageous horror comedy finds the pair at a remote research station where they come under attack by what Burt fears could be weaponized Graboids.

*full disclosure: a Blu-ray screener of this film was provided by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment for review. Director: Don Michael Paul. Writers: M.A. Deuce, C.J. Strebor, William Truesmith and John Whelpley. Cast: Michael Gross, Jamie Kennedy. More than ten years after the last Tremors film, Tremors 4: The Legend Begins, (which is actually a prequel) the flesh-hungry graboids are back for more blood! Too bad nobody cares. This fifth film in the series is a sequel to Tremors 3: Back to Perfection. Even with the return of franchise star Michael Gross ("Family Ties") as Burt Gummer, and the addition of another horror franchise star, Jamie Kennedy, (Scream series) almost nothing is salvageable from the wreckage of this unnecessary fifth installment. Admittedly, this viewer has not seen any of the Tremors sequels, but thoroughly enjoyed the 1990 original, so was hoping for at least some cheesy B-Movie-type entertainment. Unfortunately, entertainment was not high on the agenda.

Back in July, Universal Studios Home Entertainment released the first trailer for Tremors 5: Bloodlines, which revealed that this new sequel will debut on Blu-ray and DVD October 6. With the release now just a few days away, we have an exclusive gag reel that you can check out before picking up this all-new sequel. Michael Gross, who has starred in every Tremors movie, returns as Burt Gummer, who is seen flubbing his lines alongside his new co-star Jamie Kennedy in these bloopers you can't see anywhere else.

Michael Gross returns as Graboid hunter extraordinaire Burt Gummer, with Jamie Kennedy as his new tech-savvy second-in-command,...

Sci Fi Channel is developing Chariots of the Gods, a six-hour miniseries based on the best-selling book by Erich von Daniken that is being executive produced by Oscar winner Irwin Winkler and written by veteran sci-fi series scribe John Whelpley. The enormously popular book introduced the theory that Earth was visited by extraterrestrials in ancient times. Described as Raiders of the Lost Ark meets The Da Vinci Code, the project centers on a soldier returning from his tour of duty who brings with him an artifact that holds the key to uncovering one of the greatest secrets in human existence -- that aliens have been interfering with human genetics since ancient times. Rob Cowan and David Winkler also will executive produce. The project was brought to Winkler Films by executive producers Ken Hawryliw and Jim Gutteridge. Sci Fi is expected to announce the mini as part of its overall development slate today during the network's upfront presentation.
