Toronto Supermarket Filming, Eli Roth's 'Thanksgiving' Slasher, and Horror Industry Updates

Toronto's Masellis Supermarket on the Danforth was transformed into a filming location for Patrick Dempsey's latest series, likely 'Memory of a Killer,' scheduled to wrap in December 2025. Dempsey, known for roles in 'Grey's Anatomy' and others, was praised by the supermarket owner for his down-to-earth personality. The supermarket, a local staple for 66 years, garnered excitement from fans and community members. Meanwhile, Eli Roth's 2023 horror film 'Thanksgiving' has been recognized as one of the strongest slashers of the century, blending '80s horror tropes with modern themes, including social commentary on consumerism and viral videos. The film features a masked killer inspired by historical tragedies, brutal kills with various weapons, and a plot reminiscent of classic '80s slashers like 'Friday the 13th' and 'A Nightmare on Elm Street.' It balances modern horror trends—such as social media influence and technology—with traditional slasher elements, making it a potential franchise starter with a sequel in production. Despite mixed fan reviews, critics and audiences praise it for its homage to holiday horror and its fresh take on the genre. Roth's film is noted for its dark comedy, morbid holiday themes, and the ability to enjoy it year-round. Additionally, Roth's outspoken comments about hiring women on his film crews and his upcoming projects continue to generate discussion in the horror community. The industry also features new horror releases and trailers, including 'The Strangers: Chapter 3,' 'No More Time,' and 'Alpha,' alongside reviews of recent horror games and movies. Eli Roth's influence remains prominent, with ongoing projects and a legacy of blending horror with dark humor and social commentary.
