The Duo stopped off at Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition) today to chat about the Horror, which goes way back to the start.
Both Whannell and Shaye were kind to greet Fans in and out of the venue, Whannell insisting on seeing our Snap before letting me keep it. Shaye gave a friendly reminder to see the Movie when it hits theatres via eOne Films on Friday, June 5, 2015.
