"Petticoat Junction" was the unofficial second part of the Paul Henning Hooterville trilogy, a trio of 1960s sitcoms about the clash between city slickers and country bumpkins. In 1962, Henning created "The Beverly Hillbillies," a series about hillbillies who, when they strike oil, move to Beverly Hills. In 1965, he inverted the formula with "Green Acres," a show about millionaires who move to a farm to learn about country living. Sandwiched in between the two was "Petticoat Junction," which debuted on September 24, 1963. "Junction" took place at the Shady Rest Hotel, overseen by the lovable widowed hayseed Kate Bradley (Bea Benederet). She and her uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan) would run the hotel and oversee the shenanigans of her three daughters Betty Jo, Billie Jo, and Bobbie Jo.
"Petticoat Junction" takes place in the same universe as "Green Acres," as both shows make constant references to common fictional cities that the characters visit. There were a few supporting crossovers,...

Bloody Disgusting is reporting that Victor Garcia (Mirrors 2) is re-shooting additional shots for the upcoming horror movie Hellraiser: Revelations. The consensus is that Garcia will be shooting three extra days for additional footage and adding additional deaths to the film.
The movie was shot in two weeks and has been been surrounded by much controversy due to concerns about the franchise not including original cast members or a true sign off from the story's original creator Clive Barker.
Hellraiser: Revelations stars Devon Sorvarin (The Dark, The Realm), Steven Brand (as "Dr. Ross Craven"), Sanny Van Heteren (as "Kate Bradley"), Tracey Fairaway (as "Emma"), and Daniel Buran (as "Vagrant") in Dimension Films' low budget sequel. Garcia is working from a script written by F/X maven Gary Tunnicliffe.
Early Synopsis:
Pinhead is back and in his chamber of soulless delights. He thought he had two willing participants in Steven and Nico.

Similar to what's going on with Children of the Corn: The Dweller, word just broke that the next chapter in the Hellraiser franchise, Hellraiser: Revelations, is undergoing some reshoots of its own.
According to Bloody Disgusting Victor Garcia (Mirrors 2) is getting back behind the camera for three days of additional photography on Hellraiser: Revelations. Casting is under way with implications of adding some more deaths to the standalone film.
Being that Hellraiser: Revelations was shot in just two weeks, any little bit of extra shooting time should only serve to better the overall film, which, if it weren't for Garcia's involvement, we'd have absolutely no hope for.
