In theaters: October 8th

Rogue Pictures have decided to strategically move the release date of Wes Craven’s latest, My Soul to Take, and thus avoid going up against fellow 3D horror flick, Saw 3D on October 29th. Now, opening three weeks earlier, My Soul To Take will hit theaters on October 8th.

The film’s first trailer, according to ShockTillYouDrop, will be hitting sometime in the next few weeks with it debuting in front of Piranha 3D and/or The Last Exorcism a week later. Stay tuned for more!

Originally, it was pitted to go up against Paranormal Activity 2 on October 22nd, but instead opted to go up against Wes Craven’s latest, My Soul to Take, which also arrives in 3D.

Throughout their illustrious career, however, they have earned big bucks and an insane amount of accolades to go along with it. And while they may know how to get some great work out of some top flight directors, they haven’t had much luck with the horror genre. These films, in particular, are often plagued with problematic production schedules, being jerked from release date to release date, and of course, poor timing (“Grindhouse” on Good Friday, “Halloween: Resurrection” in July, “Wolf Creek” on Christmas Day; etc.).
