		<description><![CDATA[It boggles my mind that there are websites that will give the recent The Thing prequel a negative review for repeating the beats of the John Carpenter original, but will give Paranormal Activity 3 a positive review.  Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, Paranormal 3 brings a good amount of scares and jumps, and is mostly successful, but the movie rips off everything from the old BBC TV movie Ghostwatch (worth seeking out) to Poltergeist, Halloween:The Curse of Michael Myers, and even the first two movies in the franchise. The thing about PA3 is that it&#8217;s largely effective as a scary movie.  Until the last fifteen minutes, the film actually does a good job of racketing up tension and throwing a good jump scare at you every couple of minutes.  The problems with the movie actually don&#8217;t come from the acting or the scares, but from the very basics of the story and the direction.  It&#8217;s hard to go into too many details without spoiling things, so let&#8217;s talk a bit more after the jump, shall we? Remember&#8230;SPOILERS AFTER THE JUMP! Okay, so PA3 jumps back in time to 1988 and tries to explain the &#8220;weird stuff&#8221; that Katie and Kristi (from the first two movies) went through as kids (which they discuss at length in part 2).  So we get to see them as children and their first experiences with &#8220;Toby,&#8221; the demon (now named) who, ultimately, possesses Katie and steals Kristi&#8217;s baby son.  Their parents (who look a lot like Micah and Katie from the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember &#8220;Paul&#8217;s Horror Flix?&#8221; It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve reviewed any horror films for the site, and I kinda miss talking about films in my favorite genre, especially with Pauloween coming up in just a month and a half (as long time readers know, Pauloween is a month-long event, not just October 31st!).  Well, it&#8217;s about damn time we brought the tradition of chatting about our favorite scary flicks back to IoM, starting each Friday with FEARFUL FRIDAYS (check out previous horror reviews here). First off, Grave Encounters, a &#8220;found footage&#8221; horror movie due out October 18th on DVD. In the movie, a group of paranormal investigators, similar to television&#8217;s popular Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures shows, investigates a haunted hospital. Though the site housed some pretty tragic events when filled with the living, since it&#8217;s been abandoned, folks have been seeing eerie apparitions and hearing odd noises. As we&#8217;re told, this is the sixth episode of the aborted &#8220;Grave Encounters&#8221; tv series, and gathered from the raw footage filmed during their visit there. Full review after the jump. Grave Encounters is a genuinely creepy little movie. I&#8217;d heard relatively little about the movie, though it actually has shown at a couple of film festivals (including Tribeca) and been met with fairly positive reviews. I really feel that the flick would benefit from a push similar to the one Paranormal Activity received a couple of years ago. Especially since it largely would appeal to the same audience. The thing....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a confession to make. I didn&#8217;t like &#8220;The Walking Dead&#8221; anywhere near as much as everyone else seems to have. I mean, it was a good series, but I felt it dragged, and got unnecessarily repetitive &#8230; not good for only 6 episodes. Still, it&#8217;s strength (I felt) came from series showrunner Frank Darabont, who also directed the awesome pilot. Well&#8230;. This is a quite a bombshell &#8212; I have learned that Frank Darabont, the creator, executive producer and director of AMC&#8217;s smash hit The Walking Dead, is stepping down as showrunner of the series, which is now in production on its upcoming second season. The news is even more surprising given the fact that Darabont was on hand for Walking Dead&#8217;s Comic-Con panel just this past Friday alongside fellow executive producers Robert Kirkman, on whose graphic novel the series is based, and Gale Anne Hurd and appeared excited about Season 2. There is speculation that Darabont might be off the show completely, but I hear talks are still ongoing about him possibly staying on in some capacity. Darabont, who spent five years trying to get a TV version of the zombie saga off the ground and wrote and directed the AMC pilot, hails from the feature world, and I hear that he never quite adjusted to the daily grind of producing a TV series. (more at Deadline) That&#8217;s very curious, really. I&#8217;d imagine he&#8217;ll stay on in some capacity, as Frank seems to be really into the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, technically the first official trailer for the upcoming prequel/reboot to The Thing.  I love the original.  It&#8217;s in my top 5 horror films of ALL TIME.  The way they are approaching this new film &#8230; it&#8217;s impressive.  They hired a pretty girl/guy lead combo, but aren&#8217;t making the film (at least from the trailer) all about skin, like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre did (though I enjoyed the hell out of that one).  Not only that, they seem to have successfully tried to capture the essence of the time period of the original, save for one glaringly obvious CGI shot in the trailer (you&#8217;ll see it).  Damn, I can&#8217;t wait.

		<description><![CDATA[I applaud any director who goes through the effort of using creature effects to create their monsters, rather than going the CG-route.  It seems like CG is used for pretty much everything nowadays, even so far as using it instead of squibs for blood in movies.  Director Jon Knautz is big on the same line of thinking &#8211; his Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer features tons of great looking creatures that were done using makeup and prosthetics, not a computer. The problem with Jack Brooks ultimately boiled down to one main issue: it was boring.  It was a short film, but it took way too long to get to the punchline and, despite the punchline being pretty darn good &#8230; the slow parts just weren&#8217;t interesting enough to make it worth the wait.  Did The Shrine fair any better? In The Shrine, a group of young journalists investigate a cult said to practice human sacrifice, and end up uncovering a secret that could cost them their lives, starting with a giant mist just outside of town that never leaves or moves, and is too thick to see through.  Venturing into the fog, two of the party come across a giant horrific statue, and not long after they&#8217;re running from the villagers, who are out to make them their next sacrifice. The Shrine is definitely a slow burn.  Unlike Jack Brooks, though, you get a sense of dread throughout that helps keep the film interesting despite it taking its time to bring on....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So not many people know that, concurrent with production on Paranormal Activity 2, there was an alternative sequel being filmed in Japan, entitled Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night.  Released in November 2010, and directed by Toshikazu Nagae, the film follows a brother and sister in Japan who are dealing with strange happenings very similar to those from the American movies.  Pretty odd, huh?  Well, it&#8217;s an officially sanctioned sequel! In Tokyo Night, a young man named Koichi is welcoming his sister back from her trip to America.  While  she was there, she was in a car accident that left both of her legs broken.  Their father heads out on a business trip, and, not long after, the strangeness begins. With &#8220;two bedrooms&#8230;twice the fear,&#8221; does Tokyo Night live up to the standards set by the American films? The main issue with Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night is that, once you&#8217;ve seen something twice&#8230;well, the third time feels a little stale.  Let&#8217;s be honest, Paranormal Activity 2 was almost exactly the same movie as the first with some slight tweaks.  Oddly though, it was still supremely effective, and genuinely scary.  While Tokyo Night doesn&#8217;t fare quite as well as PA2, it&#8217;s also pretty effective, and the tweaks are just enough to make a difference, even when you&#8217;re wondering if you&#8217;re essentially just watching a remake of the original. And, despite the fact that we&#8217;re dealing with siblings instead of a couple, that&#8217;s pretty much the case.  The film repeats almost every incident of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Insidious, the new flick from Saw and Dead Silence director James Wan, has had kind of an odd marketing campaign, in my opinion.  I don&#8217;t get the slogan they&#8217;ve been using&#8230;&#8221;Insidious is&#8230;Insidious.&#8221;  Ummm&#8230;.okay?  Not  only that, but the trailer appeared to give away what I assumed was intended to be a twist &#8211; &#8220;it&#8217;s not the house that&#8217;s haunted&#8230;it&#8217;s your son!&#8221; With a reported budget of just under $1M, and a cast featuring Watchmen&#8217;s Patrick Wilson and 28 Weeks Later&#8217;s Rose Byre, Insidious comes to us from the producers of Paranormal Activity, and is written by Leigh Wannell, who also wrote the first three Saw movies, Dead Silence, and also stars in the film. So with a healthy horror pedigree, Insidious really should knock it out of the park right? Well&#8230;.. Insidious tells the story of a young family who have just moved into a new home with their two sons and a newborn daughter.  Renai (Rose Byme) is overwhelmed with trying to get the moved in, and husband Josh (Patrick Wilson) isn&#8217;t terribly much help, as his way of dealing with stressful situations is to just not, and he ends up spending late hours at his teaching job just to avoid dealing with the stress of being home.  Unlike most horror films where we get a slow burn until the middle of the film, Insidious starts things off pretty early.  Apparitions pop up almost immediately, and the couple&#8217;s son Dalton falls into a coma for no apparent reason. As....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ya know, I just can&#8217;t bring myself to write a long review of 51, another entry in the new series of After Dark Originals that had a recent premiere on SyFy Channel.  Unlike the first entry, Husk (review here), which was pretty damn great, 51 feels like what you&#8217;d expect to premiere on Saturday night on the SyFy Channel.  I really expected a Mega Shark or a Croctopus or whatever the hell to show up at any moment in all tv-level CGI glory.  Yes&#8230;it&#8217;s that bad. Starring a tv-level cast including Bruce Boxleitner, Rachel Miner, Jason London, and John Shea, and directed by Jason Connery (who also directed a pretty crappy flick called The Devil&#8217;s Tomb), 51 has tv-level everything &#8230; production values, acting, special effects and writing.  I think the only one who comes out of the flick relatively unscathed is Boxleitner, and maybe that&#8217;s just because, no matter how many people love the guy (present company included), I don&#8217;t think we really expect too much out of him to begin with. So what&#8217;s it about?  Well, the government has allowed a group of reporters &#8220;exclusive&#8221; access to Area 51, with the intent of making people think that there are no actual aliens there.  But then the aliens get out (duh) and there&#8217;s a midget alien, and a shapeshifting alien AND a Giger-esque alien &#8230; all in one movie!  Of course, by just throwing every cool thing you&#8217;ve ever seen in an alien movie, you end up not having....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know, usually the words &#8220;SyFy Channel Original Movie,&#8221; are not indicative of any kind of quality.  In fact, they&#8217;re more indicative of a lack thereof.  However, they&#8217;ve teamed up with After Dark to produce a series of After Dark Originals.  Since 2006, After Dark films has put on an annual horrorfest, featuring &#8220;8 Films to Die For,&#8221; with varying success.  Some shining moments have included great horror flicks like The Abandoned, Frontier(s), and Mulberry Street.  Of course, After Dark has also produced stinkers like The Hamiltons and Unearthed (with Charlie Murphy!). After a run in a couple of movie theaters in the middle of nowhere (seriously, it was pathetic), these After Dark Originals are now premiering on SyFy Channel and also being released on DVD, starting at the end of March.  The first out of the gate?  Husk, a scarecrow horror film and one of my most anticipated of the bunch.  But was it any good? Scarecrow horror movies&#8230;well, they&#8217;re usually shit.  Let&#8217;s be honest.  Has there ever been a good one?  And don&#8217;t say that one episode of &#8220;Supernatural.&#8221;  That doesn&#8217;t count. Scarecrows are friggin&#8217; creepy, and cornfields?  Perfect settings for scary happenings.  But there has never really been a successfully done film that combined the two (at least in my opinion). Well&#8230;until now anyway.  For a film that premiered on SyFy Channel on a Saturday night, Husk kicks all kinds of ass. Story is pretty simple &#8211; kids are on their way somewhere, car wrecks in the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Relatively new horror movie director Christopher Smith is definitely going to be someone to keep an eye on.  His first feature-length, Creep, was a creepy flick set in a subway and starred Franka Potente (Run Lola Run).  From there, he did the pretty damn great Severance (imagine Office Space meets Hostel), then his American debut, Triangle, featuring Melissa George in a &#8220;Twilight Zone&#8221;-ish tale of creepiness on the open seas. Black Death is his first period piece, starring Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings) as the leader of a group of knights tasked with investigating the tales of a small town practicing necromancy, returning the dead back to life.  They take a young monk with them as a guide. mild spoilers follow&#8230; If it sounds a lot like the recent Nic Cage-starrer Season of the Witch&#8230;that&#8217;s because it is.  Except, where Witch relies on CGI effects and demons flying around, Black Death instead focuses on genuine tension and a heaping amount of gore.  The film is relatively tense, but is more of a slow burn.  The first half of its 97 minute running time is really spent understanding the different characters and getting to know them.  There&#8217;s really no action at this point in the film &#8211; it&#8217;s entirely spent on character development, so that when (mild spoiler) they come across the town and sh*t starts to hit the fan, you really start to feel the loss. Black Death is certainly not a feel good film.  Characters are tortured and....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kaare Andrews does more than just draw pretty.  The artist behind the recent relaunch Astonishing X-Men and Spider-Man: Reign (a Dark Knight Returns-esque take on Spidey) is also a movie director.  His first feature length film is the low budget horror flick Altitude, starring Jessica Lowndes (&#8220;90210&#8243;) and Julianna Guill (Friday the 13th remake &#8211; the chick with perfect nipple placement). In Altitude, a group of teens decides to take a plane trip to  a concert, as one of them is now recently a licensed pilot.  The problem is, they end up navigating into a seeming unending storm, and suddenly, they&#8217;re under siege by a giant tentacled creature. I&#8217;ve been dying to see Altitude.  I mean, watching the trailer, it looks like Cthulu in the clouds, stalking a group of teens?  What can go wrong with that, right? Problem is, while there&#8217;s plenty of tentacled horror in Altitude, you may end up being a little disappointed at the true nature of the horror in the story.  That&#8217;s not to say it&#8217;s bad &#8211; in fact, I actually really enjoyed Altitude.  It&#8217;s just not exactly what I was hoping for.  Without giving too much away, I&#8217;m just going to put that out there as a warning to potential viewers. Kaare Andrews does a pretty great job on his directorial debut.  The film is solid, suspenseful, and good to look at, despite entirely taking place within the confines of a small plane.  Andrews manages to make the film interesting throughout &#8211; it....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: Bloody Disgusting So a while back we told you about how the Japanese division of Warner Brothers is working on Supernatural: The Animation, a 22-episode series from Madhouse (Batman: Gotham Knight and Death Note). The project is set to remake the best episodes from the live-action television show, as well as have original episodes that will show adventures Winchester brothers’ childhood (maybe some based on the Wildstorm comic series?), and episodes featuring side characters from the TV show. Jared Padalecki has signed on to voice Sam for all 22 episode of the English dubs, with Jensen Ackles only set to voice the final two (odd choice, there). Supernatural: The Animation is due out in in Japan on February 23rd, with an English US version I&#8217;m sure sometime in 2011. Check out a trailer for the series below! Supernatural &#8211; Japanese Animated Preview Uploaded by dreadcentral. &#8211; Classic TV and last night&#8217;s shows, online. I&#8217;m still trying to decide if this is awesome or not, especially with Kansas&#8217; &#8220;Carry On My Wayward Son&#8221; playing over Japanese dialog. What say you?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been really kind of excited for Rare Exports.  Despite the fact that I can&#8217;t think of a single good Christmas horror film off the top of my head (besides the original Black Christmas), I have a soft spot for films in that genre.  Something about the mixture of the holiday with the darkness of horror intrigues me, and of course, I have an affinity for horror movies with snow in them. So Rare Exports, a Finnish horror film, had me with my ears perked, anxiously awaiting its release.  I&#8217;d heard some good things about the film &#8211; that it was almost like a Goonies-esque movie about a child who&#8217;s father (and his father&#8217;s friends) kidnap Santa Claus for ransom.  Except that this wasn&#8217;t the Coca-Cola Santa we&#8217;re used to seeing &#8211; no, this was the Santa of legend, who spanked kids with a rod until they bled, and boiled naughty children in stew.  Not only that, coming to save Santa would be his diabolical elves, evil nasty creatures who killed people and children. So yeah&#8230;I was intrigued. I think it&#8217;s fair to say that, while I enjoyed Rare Exports, I also was disappointed by it.  Going to hit on spoiler(ish) material from here on out &#8230; you&#8217;ve been warned. I think the biggest problem with Rare Exports is that it just doesn&#8217;t feel worth it in the end.  The film takes a while to really get going and once it does, there&#8217;s really not much in the way of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kevin Smith has kind of been the talk of the town in the last year.  Between his Southwest Airlines incident, and his opinions about bloggers and media in general, as well as announcing that his next movie, about hockey, will be his last, he&#8217;s kind of been all over the internet.  Kevin Smith has put together a &#8220;horror&#8221; film that premiered at Sundance (to mixed reviews) called Red State. In Red State, three friends (including Kyle Gallner from the Nightmare on Elm Street remake) answer an online ad to have sex (simultaneously) with a woman in a remote area of the country.  She drugs them, and they find themselves trapped by an extremist religious group.  Check out a clip below from MTV. Movie Trailers &#8211; Movies Blog Red State is out on October 19th, but Smith is traveling the country showing off the film, and doing a Q&#38;A.  Check out the official site to see if he&#8217;s coming to your town.  I&#8217;ll be attending the March 15th showing in Washington, DC!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really, really enjoyed the first Dead Space video game.  I felt it was challenging (though sometimes a bit too challenging), genuinely creepy and scary, and, most of all, INTENSE.  I spent a good portion of the game on the edge of my seat, guiding Isaac through the abandoned space station, worried about what would be around the next corner, or how low my ammo is.  It&#8217;s a truly exciting video game experience, and I really recommend checking it out if you&#8217;re into the survival horror genre. That being said, the original animated tie-in movie, Dead Space: Downfall was really just a bit meh.  The animation was a bit rough, the story kind of generic, and ultimately just felt a bit throwaway.  I mean, it gave me a bit more insight into the events of the game (without having to read all the journals and stuff that you pick up during the game), but overall I just didn&#8217;t leave the experience feeling overwhelmed.  I was just &#8230; whelmed.  The Dante&#8217;s Inferno tie-in animated movie (from the same production company) really actually just kind of dragged for me, despite being a relatively short film.  So Dead Space: Aftermath didn&#8217;t have a lot going for it&#8230; But damn&#8230;this flick impressed the hell out of me. Dead Space: Aftermath tells what happens to a scientific team on the same planet that (SPOILER) Isaac destroys at the end of the first game.  They take a shard of the relic with them (the same relic....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite horror movies (of all time!) is a television movie named Ghostwatch, which aired on the BBC1 on Halloween in 1992.  It was a  horror mockumentary (like Blair Witch or Paranormal Activity), but was presented as &#8216;live&#8217; television. It was only aired once in the UK and caused a storm of controversy from folks who thought it was real.  Ghostwatch holds the record for the highest rated single drama in the UK of all time with a peak audience of 11.5 million viewers, and an estimated 30,000 calls to the BBC switchboard in a single hour. I&#8217;m not going to tell you much about the film and ruin it for you, but the basic premise is that a news crew investigates one of the most haunted areas in the UK, and ends up finding more than they bargained for.  Ghostwatch begs repeat viewings, as there&#8217;s a ton of hidden stuff in it, including multiple appearances of paranormal activity. I just discovered that the ENTIRE film is online, in one large chunk, for free, courtesy of Google Videos.  Give it a watch below (you can expand to the full window for easier viewing)! When you&#8217;re done giving the flick a watch, check out its Wikipedia page to see if you missed anything!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nicholas Cage is kind of going through a weird time right now.  I remember years ago when him being in a movie was a sign of the movie being at least some kind of quality.  Then, at some point, it turned into the realization that these films weren&#8217;t actually good&#8230;just guilty pleasures.  And then they became less pleasurable and, save for the National Treasure movies, Cage became kind of a joke, with his unusual hair pieces and his wacky roles and seeming inability to say no to a paycheck, regardless of the quality of movie. January is typically a breeding ground for mediocre or awful movies, so it seems appropriate that the newest Cage vehicle, Season of the Witch, would be released in this month, given his history.  But is it better than you&#8217;ve heard?  Or another in a stream of bad Nic Cage flicks? In Season of the Witch, two 14th century Crusaders, tired of the war and no longer a believer, travels across a land devastated by the Black Plague. The church thinks sorcery the culprit of the plague and asks the two knights to transport an accused witch to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence. A priest, a grieving knight, a swindler and an alter boy who wants to become a knight join the mission, but is the girl actually a witch?  Or just an innocent young girl fighting for her freedom? I&#8217;ve got to admit that I....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;She stuck a lipstick in her boob and it fell out of her pussy!&#8221; Yes, that line is uttered in the 2009 remake of Night of the Demons, a gore-filled comedic type horror film featuring a bevy of recognizable actors, including Monica Keena, Edward Furlong, Tiffany Shepis, and Shannon Elizabeth.  In it, a house party goes REALLY bad when dead bodies are found under the house and demons possess the party goers. It plays like Evil Dead 2, but with sex  It&#8217;s a horror movie that remembers what it&#8217;s like to not only be fun, but also to take itself seriously enough to make sure it has smart writing and decent acting. I&#8217;ve never seen the original Night of the Demons, but I know it&#8217;s something of a cult classic.  If it&#8217;s anything like the new one, that&#8217;s deservedly so.  The new Night of the Demons is absolutely the type of horror film that will pick up a devoted following, and lend itself to plenty of party viewing with your friends.  There&#8217;s tons of crazy sex and nudity, and some outrageous blood and gore.  The comparison to Evil Dead 2 seems entirely appropriate, as the film really does borrow some of its visual flair from the Raimi classic, but this flick is definitely dirtier with some absolutely gross out moments (nipple tentacles!) that are more fun than unsettling. I can&#8217;t imagine there&#8217;s a better recipe for a good horror film than humor, hot chicks, and gore, but there are plenty....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was really looking forward to Dark House.  I&#8217;m a big fan of the concept of amusement attractions gone wrong &#8211; stories like Jurassic Park, West World, House on Haunted Hill.  Dark House is the story of an eccentric amusement attraction owner who&#8217;s decided to purchase a local house, the scene of a horrific murder years ago, and convert it into a state of the art haunted house, with holographic ghosts and a live cast of actors to scare guests. As expected&#8230;things go horribly, horribly awry and before you know it people are getting hacked up in all sorts of ways.  But was this Dark House worth venturing into? Everyone&#8217;s been kind of praising this movie, so I expected a lot of it.  Recently released as part of Fangoria&#8217;s &#8220;Fright Fest&#8221; line of direct-to-dvd movies (kind of like Ghost House Underground), I quickly ran out to rent the movie and see how it was.  It stars Jeffrey Combs, who&#8217;s a personal favorite of mine, and with all of the high marks it was getting, it surely had to be good.  Or&#8230;not so much. In Dark House, the terror begins when the ghost of a woman who murdered children years before takes of the state of the art computer system and makes the holographic monsters capable of actually killing people.  And yes, it&#8217;s as stupid as it sounds.  From the moment the ghost pops up on a computer screen (via horrible special effects), the film goes wrong.  It&#8217;s like Halloween: Resurrection....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the mood for blood and boobs in glorious, glorious three dimensions? Looks no further than Piranha 3D! We finally get some horror this summer (the last horror film released theatrically, I think, was Nightmare on Elm Street back in April/May), at the very end.  I really am tired of seeing &#8220;Watch it in DIGITAL 3D&#8221; at the end of every trailer nowadays, knowing that most movie companies are converting movies post-production just to get the extra money that helped Avatar become the highest grossing movie of all time. Piranha was converted to 3D post-production, but I had high hopes that, unlike most 3D movies, Piranha would make the best use of its 3D.  In my opinion, even though the movies weren&#8217;t necessarily that great, The Final Destination and My Bloody Valentine were some of the best live-action uses of 3D I&#8217;ve seen since 3D became all the rage.  Horror in 3D is just about the only 3D worth paying the extra funds for &#8230; but was Piranha worth that extra $3.50 charge? Piranha features an all-star cast including Elizabeth Shue, Ving Rhames, Kelly Brook, Jerry O&#8217;Connell, Richard Dreyfuss and Christopher Lloyd.  Not to mention all the young kids who&#8217;s names I really don&#8217;t know.  The premise is simple &#8211; an earthquake opens up a crater to an ancient lake filled with deadly man-eating piranha.  Piranha show up, eat people, chaos ensues.  Really, that&#8217;s all you need to know.  Oh, that and&#8230; There&#8217;s more nudity in Piranha 3D than I&#8217;ve....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday night, a buddy of mine and I decided to finally have the horror movie marathon we&#8217;ve been talking about for months now&#8230;a Freakin&#8217; Fulci Friday Film Fest!  What did Freakin&#8217; Fulci Friday Film Fest entail? 3 Lucio Fulci Films &#8211; City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, and House by the Cemetary Italian beer &#8211; in this case, Peroni and Birra Moretti Italian food &#8211; pizza qualified because we were lazy With all three elements in place, we prepared ourselves to venture into the oddness of early 80&#8242;s Italian horror! Unbeknownst to me until that night (my buddy is much more involved in researching this stuff than I am), all three of these movies were released between 1980 and 1981, star the same leading lady (in fact, a good number of the cast is the same in each film), and apparently make up an unofficial Gates of Hell trilogy&#8230;which makes sense for the first two &#8211; not sure how the third one fits in.  So with a nice tall glass of Birra Moretti in hand, we started the show in chronological order, with&#8230;. City of the Living Dead The first entry in the Gates of Hell trilogy is City of the Living Dead.  Originally released in 1980 (1983 in the USA), City of the Living Dead was the first film Fulci’s made after his hit movie Zombie (aka Zombi 2.)  In City of the Living Dead, a priest hangs himself in a cemetery in the small town of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past Friday, the Robert Rodriguez produced Predators, the third entry in the popular franchise (not counting the AvP entries), was released, and fan enthusiasm is at an all time high for the franchise.  With mostly positive reviews and a decent box office opening, is this a revitalization of the beloved franchise? I loved the first two Predator movies, and with talent like Robert Rodriguez, and direction from Nimrod Antal (Vacancy), was definitely excited about this newest entry.  Does Predators live up to the hype?  After twenty years, does it bring life back to the alien hunters?  Or should they have been left dead? Warning: very MILD spoilers after the jump! First things first &#8211; I&#8217;m not an Adrien Brody fan.  Never really have been.  He&#8217;s just&#8230;funny lookin&#8217;.  And really, casting him as a bad ass mercenary that takes on the larger-than-life Predator creatures?  I didn&#8217;t see it.  Apparently, he lobbied for the part, and worked out to be in great shape for it.  And I have to admit to being wrong &#8211; he does a DAMN good job in Predators.  He&#8217;s appropriately gruff, and he really is imposing, and you can see why a group of killers would follow him. Predators begins with Brody&#8217;s character Royce falling through the air, his chute opening just in time for him not to die.  He quickly finds that he&#8217;s not the only one, though, and comes across a group of the world&#8217;s greatest killers &#8211; some honorable, some not so much.  After....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mean, it&#8217;s hard to say that a film is going to be good just by looking at the cast, but the upcoming remake of one my favorite 80&#8242;s flicks, Fright Night, seems to be shaping up pretty nicely.  The script review at CC2K seems to not think much of it, but let&#8217;s be honest &#8211; did the original really have that great of a script?  They say it&#8217;s &#8220;Disturbia with fangs,&#8221; but wasn&#8217;t the original just Rear Window with fangs?  And isn&#8217;t Disturbia just&#8230;well, Rear Window? Really, I think a cast like this can elevate mediocre script writing to cinema gold.  Just announced today are David Tennant as Peter Vincent, and Chrisopher Mintz-Plasse as &#8220;Evil Ed.&#8221;  I mean, not that Mintz-Plasse is cinema awesomeness, but he&#8217;s at least always fun to watch, and after seeing Kick Ass, I think he could pull off Evil Ed quite nicely.  And David Tennant as Peter Vincent?  I mean, that&#8217;s just inspired casting.  Also already announced are Anton Yelchin as Charlie (a role originated by William Ragsdale) and Colin Farrell as Jerry the vampire (Chris Sarandon’s part in the original). I have to admit&#8230;unlike most remakes, this cast seems to REALLY fit the roles in question.  As long as they don&#8217;t remake Fright Night 2 (fuck that movie), I think we might have a bonafide quality remake coming our way&#8230;besides, didn&#8217;t I say this would make a great remake?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m not a fan of novels that flaunt their influences, particularly when I’m familiar with the influences in question. It’s like paying to see a new band and discovering only after the set begins that you’re watching a cover band. The music may be competent, but if you wanted to hear those songs, you could just listen to the original stuff. It’s clear from The Devil You Know that Mike Carey really likes Raymond Chandler. I had that influence spotted from the first chapter; I didn’t need the name-check he provides in Chapter 22. The problem is Carey&#8217;s not as clever at dialogue or internal monologue as Chandler was. And Chandler had a lot more love for and knowledge of 1940s Los Angeles than Carey has for modern London. A tube-stop itinerary does not compelling reading make, nor does it tell you anything meaningful about London. When he gets out of his own way, Carey is a good storyteller. When most of the Hellblazer and Raymond Chandler residue is burned off, his talent for world-building and for scripting action scenes shines through. I enjoyed the descriptions of exorcism-by-music. The fights and chases were compelling, and I turned the pages as eagerly as anyone caught up in the action. Unfortunately, a story needs more than fights and chases, and that’s where the book falls down. There are problems in this book that a good editor should have fixed. For example, Carey makes a point of telling us how competent and worldly....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll all find out tonight at midnight (those of us attending a midnight Iron Man showing anyway), it appears as if, on the eve of Iron Man 2&#8242;s release, we may have news of a secret teaser? Insiders familiar with the trailer tell us that it shows a bunch of kids who are shooting a movie with a Super 8 camera in the seventies or eighties. When they develop the film, they notice that there&#8217;s an alien creature in the frame. Our sources also say that Super 8 is absolutely connected to 2008&#8242;s Cloverfield (possibly a prequel, but not a sequel). Interesting &#8230; as Ain&#8217;t it Cool News notes in the same article, it would be interesting for Paramount to advertise TWO alien &#8220;found footage&#8221; films simultaneously, with this and Orin Peli&#8217;s Area 51.  However, given the secrecy behind this project, do we even know it&#8217;s Abrams&#8217; related?  Maybe it actually is an Area 51 trailer? I remember when the Cloverfield trailer premiered, the entire internet was buzzing with theories and excitement about the movie, and what its title would eventually be.  I really dug Cloverfield &#8211; definitely curious as to what this trailer could mean, and looking forward to some answers!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t lie &#8211; I&#8217;ve got a little bit of mixed emotions on the news that the directors of Rec and Rec 2 are doing not one, but two more films: Major Spanish studio Filmax will produce two new [REC] films in the next couple of years called [REC] Genesis and [REC] Apocalypse from the same directors as the first two [REC] films. [REC] directors Paco Plaza and Jaume Balaguero will split directing responsibilities for the two films. Plaza will direct the first film Genesis, which much like the Batman and Star Trek franchises will return to the origin of the original infection that caused humans to turn into zombies. Paco Plaza and Luis Alejandro Berdejo (The New Daughter) will co-write Genesis with Balaguero actively involved in the development of the project. The film is expected to be delivered in the autumn of 2011. Apocalypse will be directed by Balaguero and will end the [REC] saga with the pandemic spreading to unknown proportions. Plaza will assist on the project, which is expected to be delivered in the autumn of 2012. Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m super excited about more entries in the series, and I&#8217;m happy they brought back these directors, who&#8217;s talent is the reason for the film&#8217;s lasting success.  My main gripe is the rather cliche-sounding storylines they&#8217;re going with.  A prequel and a global pandemic?  Of course, I&#8217;m sur eBalguero and Plaza will find a way to impress me more than these descriptions &#8211; I just....]]></description>

Piranha 3-D, starring Adam Scott, Elisabeth Shue, Christopher Lloyd, Eli Roth, Ving Rhames, Richard Dreyfuss, and more, is due out this August.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello there, boils and ghouls!  It&#8217;s time for another very exciting edition of PAUL&#8217;S HORROR FLIX!  Two very different horror films this week, as we delve into both the supernatural and the extraterrestrial with: The Fourth Kind The Reeds Are either one of these flicks worth your time?  Will they keep you up at night, looking past your bedroom door for ghosts and aliens?  Find out in my full reviews after the jump! The Fourth Kind I&#8217;m not entirely sure why I didn&#8217;t see The Fourth Kind in theaters.  It looked interesting enough, and has a decent cast, but I think maybe I was a little burned out on &#8220;pseudo-reality&#8221; flicks after Paranormal Activity (which I loved) was all over the place.  I&#8217;m not sure Kind was in the theaters very long, and what I did hear about it was relatively lukewarm, if not downright negative. Ultimately, my review isn&#8217;t going to dissent what I&#8217;ve already heard.  The Fourth Kind isn&#8217;t a horrible film, but it sure isn&#8217;t great.  The actors do serviceable jobs, but the main concept of the film, basically that Hollywood actors are reenacting real-life events, interspersed with some of the &#8220;real&#8221; footage, is interesting, if not entirely well done.  While I appreciate the subtlety of the quick glimpses given us of what is happening before all video footage, essentially, turns to static, it&#8217;s just a little too subtle.  I do appreciate subtlety, and I can appreciate a slow burn, but there should be a bit more....]]></description>

Anderson, the fourth film in the Resident Evil series, which features his return to the director&#8217;s seat after taking the last two off, has released a teaser trailer, and it looks all kinds of awesome.  The emphasis in the trailer, of course, is on the 3D technology they&#8217;re using, which is the same as James Cameron used for Avatar, except that they seem to be using it to create some &#8220;shit flying at the audience&#8221; moments that most 3D films seem to not bother with. Resident Evil: Afterlife is due out this September]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome back, boils and ghouls, to a very special edition of PAUL’S HORROR FLIX!  What&#8217;s so special with this week&#8217;s edition?  Well, how about the sequels to two of the greatest horror films OF ALL TIME?  Yes folks, this week we&#8217;re talking about the much anticipated sequels: Rec 2 The Descent: Part 2 How do you make sequels to some of the most intense horror films ever?  Do either of these films live up to the originals?  Or they ruin the memories of the films we&#8217;ve come to love?  Find out after the jump! Rec 2 REC 2 &#8211; English Subtitled Trailer Uploaded by dreadcentral. &#8211; Classic TV and last night&#8217;s shows, online. I love the original Rec.  It took two things that I&#8217;ve been sick of for a little while now, zombies and &#8220;found footage&#8221; movies, and combined them to make what ended up being an intense, excellent film that hasn&#8217;t seen compare since its release.  So when word came out that the original creators (and some of the original cast) were reuniting to create a sequel, I met it with nervous anticipation.  I mean, surely it would be great, right?  But how do you top the excellent original? One thing that always bugged me in trailers for the American remake of the original, Quarantine, is that they showed a scene not in the film itself &#8211; a SWAT-type team going into the apartment building and finding the video camera with the &#8220;found footage&#8221; that made up the movie. ....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reposted in the spirit of the holiday &#8211; Happy St. Patrick&#8217;s Day! What I love most about the Leprechaun films is how unabashed they are about not making sense. The only thing that can hurt a leprechaun is a four leaf clover! No, it&#8217;s wrought iron! No, it&#8217;s an amulet that turns him to stone!  No, it&#8217;s burning his gold! The leprechaun can&#8217;t hurt you if you have his gold on you! Oh wait&#8230;he can cut you open if you swallow a piece. And how the hell does he keep losing coins when he&#8217;s so obsessive compulsive about his gold?  Dude&#8230;stop carrying your pot of gold around uncovered if you don&#8217;t want money falling out.  At least he wised up in the third one and put it in a safe.  Which, might I mention, doesn&#8217;t make sense since they used a safe in part two to trap him (wrought iron). Poor Leprechaun&#8230;you thought Jason had it bad? In the first film he melted, got shot, then burned to death. In the second, he gets stabbed with an iron bar in the heart and explodes into little lucky charm bits!  I don&#8217;t even remember how the hell he died in part 3 and I just finished watching it. How the hell does this make any kind of sense. These guys seem to have an idea.  More after the jump. Leprechaun 1: Unlucky Charms (subtitles added by me!) Oh-kay.  You know&#8230;I&#8217;m confused.  So&#8230;I thought the beginning of the film took place in....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So a very special edition of Paul&#8217;s Horror Flix today!  Since I&#8217;m out of town (more on that on this week&#8217;s Funnybooks) this week, I&#8217;ve been unable to enjoy my typical horror movie goodness.  I know &#8211; ghastly!  But, alas, hotel wi-fi has afforded me the opportunity enough to cruise the net, spying on the newest horror trailers for all the monster-filled goodness coming our way! Tons of great trailers after the jump (with my thoughts), including a sneak peak at the new, very awesome-looking, Predators from Robert Rodriguez! I love Robert Rodriguez, so I&#8217;m really excited about this film.  I know he&#8217;s just producing it (directing duties fall on Nimrod Antal from Vacancy), but it seems like the film will have his hands all over it.  The full trailer is due out tomorrow (at the official site &#8211; guessing the trailer will be attached to Repo Men), but check out a sneak preview below: The new Nightmare on Elm Street looks visually interesting &#8211; the trick is making a character as iconic, but at the same time kind of passe, as Freddy Kruger, and make him appealing to a modern day audience.  I&#8217;m sure some changes have been made to the script I read (and talked about way back in April of last year) including, at least as far as I can tell, an expansion on the role of Twilight&#8217;s Kellan Lutz.  Will it be a boom or a bust? I recently saw Rec 2, and will be back....]]></description>

The Wolfman The Crazies Check out the reviews after the jump, and start saving up money for the matinee! The Wolfman Man, I&#8217;ve been dying to see this film.  Back in October, I visited Universal Studios Orlando&#8217;s The Wolfman haunted house, as part of their Halloween Horror Nights event.  It was one of my favorite houses of the event, and had be super psyched for this film, which has been the victim of many well-publicized delays and troubles.  The director hat changed multiple times, as did the score writer for the film (Danny Elfman, then not, then back to Danny Elfman), as well as delays for effects work and heavy editing to get to the first wolf transformation as soon as possible. I&#8217;d be lying if I said that all of these problems had no effect on the film &#8211; the film has HUGE flaws.  The pacing is definitely off &#8211; it races through certain scenes, and dead stops in others.  The acting is uneven.  Certain moments just reek of being cut down to fit a running time.  However, despite all of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello there boils and ghouls!  It&#8217;s time for another wild and wacky version of PAUL&#8217;S MOTHER FRAKIN HORROR FLICKS!  Hell to the yes!  The excitement is boiling over isn&#8217;t it?  You&#8217;re just sitting there, laptop on the sink as you wait for the body in your bathtub to be eaten away by the battery acid, just DYING to know what movies we&#8217;re going to talk about this week.  Well, horror hounds, wonder no more, for today you get THREE horror reviews, of classic (coughmostlyshittycough) 80&#8242;s horror madness! Madman The Funhouse Happy Birthday to Me! What are you waiting for?  A demonic incantation?  Continue reading after the jump! Madman So, really, Madman is entirely nothing special.  In fact, the good portion of it is laughably bad.  But, unlike a later laughably bad film that just ends up being awful, this one ends up having a certain charm to it.  From 1982, Madman tells the story of &#8220;Madman Marz,&#8221; a backwoods humungo redneck killer who has a thing for chopping up 30-something people who play teenagers. This movie ends up getting its charm from some wicked bad, definitely 80&#8242;s choices.  There&#8217;s a hot tub scene that involves a man and a woman wandering in circles aimlessly, looking at each other longingly, while 80&#8242;s love songs play in the background.  There&#8217;s a guy who has his initials on his giant ass belt buckle.  There&#8217;s a guy who gets lost at the beginning of the movie in the woods (after seeing the Madman in....]]></description>

I know I bag on Sam Raimi a lot (deservedly so), but I love all three of the EVIL DEAD flicks, and I&#8217;d love to check out one of these dates if I can swing it.  In fact, if you happen to live near Austin, they&#8217;re going to be showing a triple feature of all three EVIL DEAD flicks! Check out all the info and tour dates here!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John Carpenter&#8217;s The Thing has built a cult following since its release in 1982.  The film is a horror classic, hitting all the right notes with its manipulation of paranoia, isolation, and the sense of the unknown.  It&#8217;s natural that a studio would want to come along and steal some of that glory once again.  Rather than remaking The Thing once again, the studio has opted for a prequel that hits many of the same notes as the first film&#8230;but delves further into the mythos of the creature.  Is the early script draft by Eric Heisserer a resounding love letter to John Carpenter or just another insult to a horror classic (I&#8217;m looking at you Rob Zombie)?  Find out inside. Warning: SPOILER HEAVY! It&#8217;s safe to say that the script is good, really good.  In the original 1982 film, helicopter pilot MacReady discovers the remnants of a Norwegian base that had previously housed the alien being.  This base is the center stage for the prequel. Ennio Morricone&#8217;s score opens up the movie as we see the still white Anarctic landscape.  A group of men form a semi-circle around something deep in the snow that they have discovered. Cut to Kate Lloyd as she and a team of experts are being transported from McMurdo airport to the remote Norwegian research station (known as Thule Station).  The head of this team, Dr. Sander Halvorson, has been invited by his friend Edvard Wolner to research what they found near Thule Station. Some fan....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another week, another all-new, all-awesome edition of PAUL&#8217;S HORROR FLIX!  As promised, I&#8217;m back with a double dose of horror this week, and I decided to step up my game a little bit &#8211; sure, last week&#8217;s Demonic Toys 2 and Road to L had a small droplet of the red stuff, but this week&#8217;s contenders poured on ample amounts of what we like to see in our horror flicks &#8211; chunky, gooey, dripping blood and guts! The two contenders this week are Cabin Fever: The Director&#8217;s Cut, out now on blu-ray, and Doghouse (currently only available on import DVD).  How do they measure up?  Find out after the jump! Cabin Fever: The Director&#8217;s Cut I love the hell out of Eli Roth &#8211; he&#8217;s only directed three full-length films, but I&#8217;ve loved each one for very different reasons.  Cabin Fever, the film that introduced him to the world at large, is a fun low budget romp that was better than it had any right being.  Hostel I and II divided audiences, and unfortunately really contributed to the &#8220;torture porn&#8221; craze, but managed to elevate themselves above the rest with smart direction, good acting, and beautiful cinematography that most other films exchange for flashes of white light and quick cuts. Anyway, like I said, Cabin Fever is the start of Roth&#8217;s career and I remember seeing it in the theater, wholly unprepared for the film I was about to see.  It starts off as this fun, riotous comedy before quickly....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes folks, after a brief hiatus (our winter finale was on December 29th&#8230;heh), we bring you the new season of PAUL&#8217;S HORROR FLIX!  What&#8217;s changed this time around?  Well, how about a weekly column (every Wednesday) where you get not one, but TWO horror reviews every week!  Check in every Wednesday for your weekly dose of horror goodness! Today&#8217;s contenders?  Demonic Toys 2, the newest film from Full Moon Studios and the sequel to the original cult classic from the 90&#8242;s (with Tracy Scoggins), and Road to L, a mysterious, very hard to find Lovecraftian movie that&#8217;s garnered critical acclaim from other sites. Reviews after the jump! Demonic Toys 2 I do love Full Moon Studios films, but I&#8217;ll be the first to admit that, for every diamond in the rough they put out, there&#8217;s a piece of crap.  I loved Gingerdead Man, but the sequel was crap.  Skull Heads (review) was good, but Evil Bong 1 &#38; 2 were pretty stupid.  I recently re-watched the original Demonic Toys, made during the prime of Full Moon Studios, when the films were in a shared universe (Dollman vs. Demonic Toys) and movies were coming out, at least, once every other month.  It was kind of the golden age of Full Moon, and the start of a lot of careers. The original Demonic Toys had Tracy Scoggins as a cop who came across a warehouse where these evil toys were trying to unleash monsters from hell.  It was silly, of course, but....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, according to Variety, television station AMC has greenlit the pilot for a TV show based on Robert Kirkman&#8217;s The Walking Dead comic book.  We&#8217;re huge fans of The Walking Dead here at IoM (we even got Marvel boy-Jonathan Landreth reading the book!), so of course that&#8217;s an exciting enough prospect. Couple with it the fact that the pilot is set to be written and directed by director Frank Darabont, and you&#8217;ve got a recipe for damn fine television.  The last time Darabont took on a spooky tale, in Stephen King&#8217;s The Mist, we got one of the horror genre&#8217;s best films in years.  Here&#8217;s hoping he can bring the same quality to the small screen. My vote for lead character Rick Grimes?  None other than the star of The Mist, Thomas Jane.  I mean, sure, he&#8217;s a big screen star, but he&#8217;s also done some small screen stuff with HBO&#8217;s Hung.  He could do another TV show, right?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My brother asked me today who I felt would make a good female lead for the upcoming The Thing prequel, and I admit I have a hard time coming up with a realistic response.  Kate Lloyd is &#8220;In her late 20s to early 30s, pretty, bright-eyed, intelligent, she&#8217;s a graduate of Columbia and a Ph.D. candidate in paleontology (the study of prehistoric life). On the recommendation of her friend Adam Goodman, Kate is tapped for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by Dr. Sander Halvorson to join his research team in Antarctica, where an extraordinary discovery has been made. Upon arrival, Kate soon finds herself at odds with Halvorson about how best to proceed with the discovery &#8212; an alien spaceship with a mysterious and sinister frozen THING found nearby &#8212; specifically whether to transfer the specimen undisturbed to a more appropriate facility for analysis, or, per Halvorson&#8217;s wishes, to drill into the specimen&#8217;s ice encasement for a definitive tissue sample.&#8221; (Read more spoilerfic info at Spoiler TV) The prequel to the thing looks to be taking place at the Norwegian camp that got all kinds of messed up before Kurt Russel and crew came across it in John Carpenter&#8217;s The Thing.  As we know, obviously, the &#8220;thing&#8221; is thawed out and starts laying the smackdown on some Norwegian ass. So who would you suggest as a good female lead in this flick?  My vote?  Anna Torv, from Fringe.  Guess we&#8217;ll find out soon, as news seems to be coming out more frequently....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After hitting critical success with their film Undead, The Spierig Brothers were given not only more money to play with, but an all-star Hollywood cast to fill their toy box.  The result?  Daybreakers, a semi-apocalyptic vampire flick that tells the story of a world where humans are an endangered species, and the world&#8217;s vampire population needs to come up with a way to either come up with more blood sometime soon, or a cure to their vampirism. Daybreakers was released theatrically this past Friday nationwide, and stars Ethan Hawke, Sam Neill, and Willem Dafoe. Check out my review after the jump! Daybreakers is definitely an example of the visual flair that the Spierig Brothers have become known for &#8211; you get a mix of guys like Michael Bay, The Wachowski Brothers, Zach Snyder, and even a little Sam Raimi thrown in for good measure.  While this leads to a 90% excellent looking movie, you also, unfortunately, get the excesses that all of those directors are known for.  I found myself giggling at a couple of the melodramatic scenes, filled with loud, booming heroic music, beautiful sunsets with sillouetted characters walking towards it. Still, despite a bit of the feeling of being overdone, the film is definitely beautiful and, if not seen theatrically, certainly Blu-Ray worthy.  When you get past the visual flair though, you also get a pretty gripping story that, while not entirely original, is certainly interesting enough to keep you entertained.  I&#8217;ve never been a huge fan of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I worked at a local movie theater (AMC 24 in Hampton, Virginia) when the original Strangeland came out back in 1998 (damn, that long ago?).  I remember looking really forward to seeing this indy horror flick we were getting at the theater (which, unlike now, wasn&#8217;t quite such a common occurrence 12 years ago), and thinking that it looked really messed up.  Of course, I was disappointed in the final product when I first saw it, but repeat viewings of Strangeland have created in my a greater appreciation for the film.  I actually really enjoy it now and, if anything, it&#8217;s pretty ahead of its time for when it was released. Snider continued the story (well, actually as a prequel) in a Fangoria/Scream Factory mini-series called Strangeland: Seven Sins which was written by his son (and current Toy Story comic book writer), Jesse Blaze Snider. Well, it was revealed that, due to a tax credit in Ohio, Strangeland 2 (possibly titled Disciple) will probably be up and running in front of cameras in the next 90 days!  Pretty exciting stuff!  Sure, the original was 12 years ago, but Snider has been wanting to do this sequel for ages, so here&#8217;s hoping it&#8217;s as good as the original.  Given Snider&#8217;s friendship with Hatchet director Adam Green, it would certainly be great if Green had some type of influence over the sequel!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2009 wasn&#8217;t the greatest year for movies.  Highly anticipated flicks didn&#8217;t match expectations, and the hype engine managed to overhype a ton of mediocre flicks (I&#8217;m looking at you, Drag Me to Hell and Laid to Rest).  Still, if you looked hard enough, you would definitely find some diamonds in the rough, and it&#8217;s a true testament to the quality of Hollywood when you&#8217;ll notice that half of my top 10 films of the year&#8230;were either not released in theaters at all, or were given a very limited release. Just to set the record straight before we start, films I haven&#8217;t seen as of this writing that probably would have made the list are: Sherlock Holmes, Avatar, District 9, Moon, Fantastic Mr. Fox Now, let&#8217;s get started! 25. Terminator Salvation Though Terminator Salvation definitely wasn&#8217;t the film we were all hoping it was, which I thing influenced a lot of undue hatred for it, it&#8217;s actually still a good flick.  McG didn&#8217;t ruin the franchise &#8211; if anything, he should be commended for trying something new. I mean, how do you follow up the apocalyptic ending of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines?  Terminator Salvation is a great looking film and, despite being flawed, which I think actually comes more from heavy tinkering in post-production than anything else, a darn good flick.  Review here. 24. Blood Creek What&#8217;s that, you say?  Blood Creek?  What the hell is that?  Don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;ve never heard of Blood Creek.  It was only....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really enjoyed the first Phobia (aka 4bia) , a 2008 Thai anthology horror film featuring the work of some of the most popular Thai horror film directors.  It had some great ideas, but seemed to suffer from pretty poor special effects and uneven storytelling. Phobia 2, which actually features five stories, improves on the first film in every way.  The special effects are not only better, they&#8217;re actually really good.  The stories are consistently good across the board, and they all actually have a decent amount of scares to them. My full review after the jump! Unlike the first movie, in which the films all had some kind of connecting thread (though it was minimal), each story in Phobia 2 stands completely on its own and pretty much can&#8217;t take place in the same universe, it only makes sense to review each piece separately. Novice Fourteen year-old Pey committed a crime, so his mom decides to hide him in a Buddhist monastery to escape punishment. However, something deep down inside is bothering him. Will Pey’s Karma catch up with him? This story started off a little slowly, but once things picked up, boy, it gave me goosebumps.  The creature of the piece is incredibly creepy, and the sound effects really add to the scare factor.  The ending of the story falls a bit flat, though.  Still, this was a great way to start the film off and stands as the longest of the stories, at a full half hour....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember when we leaked to those semi-nude photos of Megan Fox way back when, and how much we were looking forward to Jennifer&#8217;s Body because of said photos?  Man&#8230;none of that was in the movie. Not that that was the only thing missing in Jennifer&#8217;s Body.  However, had that scene been as revealing as those photos, the film would have at least jumped up a notch in the awesomeness scale. As it is though, Jennifer&#8217;s Body fails at what it sets out to you.  What does it try to do?  Well, by the impression I got from watching it, the cast and crew thought they were making the next Scream, with Diablo Cody playing the part of Kevin Williamson. What they got was more Cursed than Scream. Full review after the jump! In Jennifer&#8217;s Body, Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried are best friends&#8230;kinda.  Jennifer (Fox) is kind of mean to her friend and really kind of a bitch.  Needy (Seyfried) might have lesbian feelings for her friend.  They go see a band in concert at a local hole in the wall, and Jennifer falls for the lead singer &#8230; of course she doesn&#8217;t know he&#8217;s a satanist in need of a virgin sacrifice!  Problem is, Jennifer&#8217;s not a virgin, and when you try to sacrifice a non-virgin&#8230;well, you end up creating a monster. Not that anybody expected great things from Jennifer&#8217;s Body.  After all, this is the same woman who wrote the annoyingly mediocre Juno, and it starred Megan Fox. ....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know what&#8217;s worse than not being able to see Rec 2 yet, despite the fact that the original Rec was probably one of my favorite films of 2008?  The fact that 5 minutes of it is now online, and it&#8217;s subtitled In FREAKIN&#8217; FRENCH! Although that would be stellar if I spoke French.  Alas, I do not, so I merely am able to enjoy the pretty pictures and spanish zombie action without fully comprehending what&#8217;s going on. Watch the first five minutes of Rec 2 after the jump!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the month of December, I thought I would brave the task of trying to watch as many Christmas-themed horror movies as I could get my hands on.  Not as easy task, mind you, as I can think of only one Christmas horror flick that people actually like (the original Black Christmas).  Still, there&#8217;s gotta be some diamonds in the rough, right? Guess we&#8217;ll find out. I started my search for good Christmas horror with a film that most undoubtedly was sure to suck &#8211; Santa&#8217;s Slay, with BILL GOLDBERG (yes, the wrestler) playing Santa!  Read my review after the jump! I almost had hope for half a second when Santa&#8217;s Slay started.  Seated around a dinner table enjoying a Christmas Eve meal were Fran Drescher, Chris Kattan, Rebecca Gayheart, and James frickin&#8217; Caan!  I mean, most of them aren&#8217;t the most talented people on the planet, but at least they were kind of &#8220;names,&#8221; you know?  My hope was quickly dashed, even quicker than the family was dispatched by Goldberg Santa in one of the most ludicrous scenes set to celluloid. See, in Santa&#8217;s Slay, Santa is actually the son of Satan.  A thousand years ago, he lost a deal with an angel, and the angel made it so that Santa had to be good for 1000 years, the giver of toys and happiness.  Well, the thousand years is over (heh &#8230; that was a Millennium quote) and now Santa&#8217;s back to his bad ass self, going to strip....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Christopher Smith, director of Creep (which I haven&#8217;t seen) and Severance (which I saw and mostly enjoyed) comes probably his biggest effort as a writer/director, Triangle.  A mystery/suspense in the vein of films of Crono Crimenes and even with a hint of Lost to it, Severance is definitely the type of film you can&#8217;t watch while messing with your laptop or doing other things, as you&#8217;re liable to miss some of the important key elements on which the film heavily relies. Check out my full review after the jump! Melissa George stars as Jess in Triangle, a damaged woman with an autistic son who is invited to go with her friends on a sailboat excursion for the day.  She&#8217;s out of it, though, and possibly a little off her rocker.  No one seems to like her, and there&#8217;s definitely something wrong with her head.  The poster for the movie gives a bit too much away, I think, and I even hesitated to put it here, but figured that you&#8217;ll have figured that little twist out less than twenty minutes into the movie.  Luckily, it&#8217;s not the only twist. When Jess and her friends are stuck in the middle of a freak storm, they are saved by an abandoned ocean liner.  At first, you may be thinking Ghost Ship, but the film takes a different turn as the ship turns out to not be quite as deserted as you may think. I enjoyed Triangle quite a bit.  The production values....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, a toy of him anyway.  We&#8217;ve got our first look, thanks to the guys at ComingSoon.Net. To the right (click to enlarge), you&#8217;ll see the first full look at what ol&#8217; Frederick (played by Watchmen&#8217;s Jackie Earle Haley) will look like in the upcoming Nightmare on Elm St. remake, directed by Samuel Bayer. I&#8217;m not entirely sure what to think.  I don&#8217;t think it looks bad, but it doesn&#8217;t look scary to me.  I get they were trying to go for a more realistic burn vicitm&#8217;s face, rather than the cheeseburger face we used to see in the original films, but the face itself just doesn&#8217;t give me the willies like I&#8217;m thinking they should. We&#8217;ll all get a look at Freddy in action in April, 2010, when the movie is scheduled to be released!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I kind of hate that everybody&#8217;s referring to the new The Crow movie as a remake.  Unless the lead character&#8217;s name is Eric Draven and he&#8217;s a rock star who dies and comes back to avenge his death, it&#8217;s really more of a sequel/reboot.  Still, I guess calling it a remake makes it so that people unfamiliar with the franchise won&#8217;t feel intimidated for not having seen the first four films (only one of which was good).  I love the original Crow, and it&#8217;s technically already kind of been remade on TV with that Crow TV series, Stairway to Heaven (with Mark Dascascos playing Draven), but I really feel like it should be left alone.  Sure, people say that about a lot of remakes&#8230;but how many original movies had the lead die during production? Anywho, producer Ryan Kavanaugh chatted with io9 and offered up some interesting tidbits on the remake/reboot, including: &#8220;He&#8217;ll have makeup, but it will be different. The best way to compare it is the first Batman and Batman Begins. In terms of their look and feel and character.&#8221; Don&#8217;t even get me started on how every superhero movie is not a Batman Begins. &#8220;It&#8217;s really a whole relaunch of the franchise, much more of a dark superhero type. We&#8217;re just relaunching it and making it with a much more present day character, someone more relatable to everybody. It will be an actor you&#8217;ve heard of, yes. We&#8217;re not ruling anything out. We&#8217;re looking at both, with the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Skeptic kind of reminded me of that movie Dragonfly.  It&#8217;s creepy, and has some relatively good scares, but the ghost itself isn&#8217;t out to hurt anybody, or kill people Grudge style.  That&#8217;s not really a spoiler for you out there thinking I just ruined everything &#8211; the film resides almost entirely on Tim Daly as its sole character, so you know if he dies, the movie&#8217;s over. In The Skeptic, Tim Daly&#8217;s aunt has just died, so he moves into her house to take some time away from his wife.  But the house may be haunted, which is something that a skeptic (oh&#8230;so that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s called that!) isn&#8217;t having an easy time accepting.  Then he finds out that his aunt may have been experiencing the same things in the house &#8211; but is it due to a family history of mental illness, or because the house is actually haunted? The Skeptic is actually a really good DTV entry in the haunted house genre.  The acting is definitely above average (even with Tom Arnold in it!), especially from Tim Daly (Superman&#8217;s voice in the animated series), which is good, because the entire film rests on his performance.  He does a really stand-up job though, and confidentally carries it.  There are some genuinely creepy moments, and actually some scenes that will give you goosebumps.  In addition, there&#8217;s actually a good &#8220;is he crazy or isn&#8217;t he?&#8217; vibe to the film. If you like a slow burn kind of horror film,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Courtesy of ShockTillYouDrop, we&#8217;ve got our first look at the cast of Resident Evil: Afterlife doing their thing on the set.  In the picture below, you&#8217;ll see Wentworth Miller  (from Prison Break) as Chris Redfield, Milla Jovovich as the hot chick Alice, Ali Larter as the other hot chick Claire Redfield.  Check it at right! Tons of news has been pouring out from the film, courtesy of Milla Jovovich&#8217;s Twitter page.  (Thanks to Matt) Filmed a fight scene with Wesker, resulting in Milla with a bleeding open wound. They are using new camera technology. Milla revealed that a new camera system had to be invented that was capable of taking a 3D camera really high and far away, in order to film a shot in the final scene. She noted that all the new exciting inventions will become standard in 5 years time. Filmed a scene where Milla did an aircraft landing on a ship. Filmed a big action sequence in a prison shower with Ali that involved &#8216;The Executioner&#8217; from RE5 the game. He is 8 feet tall and has a HUGE axe.

		<description><![CDATA[Though I was a little disappointed that the movie doesn&#8217;t seem related to The Wizard of Oz at all, it actually seems surprisingly good looking! And yes, that&#8217;s Cassidy Freeman (Mercy from Smallville).  The movie is still in post-production, but check out the description, courtesy of ShockTillYouDrop: Full synopsis: One Morning in New England, 1940, the entire population of Friar New Hampshire &#8211; 572 people &#8211; walked together up a winding mountain trail and into the wilderness. They left behind their clothes, their money, all of their essentials. Even their dogs were abandoned, tied to posts and left to starve. No One knows why. A search party dispatched by the U.S. Army eventually discovered the remains of nearly 300 of Friar&#8217;s evacuees. Many had frozen to death. Others were cruelly and mysteriously slaughtered. The bodies of the remaining citizens are still unaccounted for. Over the years, a quiet cover-up operation managed to weave the story of Friar into the stuff of legends and backwoods fairy tales. The town has slowly repopulated, but the vast wilderness is mostly untracked, with the northern-most stretches off limits to local hunters and loggers. In 2008, the coordinates for the &#8220;YELLOWBRICKROAD&#8221; trail head were declassified. The first official expedition into a dark and twisted wilderness will attempt to solve the mystery of the lost citizens of Friar&#8230;and reach the end of the trail.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know I&#8217;m not!  But, like an idiot, I&#8217;ll probably be there opening night anyway.  Assuming Lionsgate greenlights it &#8211; but is there any doubt? From I Watch Stuff, it looks like original series creators Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez are planning to team up again to break out the broomstick &#8230; or little wooden guys that hang from trees.  Those little guys were creepy, weren&#8217;t they? They&#8217;re now at the point where they&#8217;re ready to do a Blair Witch 3, once again sharing writing and directing. They&#8217;d pick up from where the original left off, pretending Blair Witch 2 never happened. The duo recently went on a drive through their original Blair Witch haunts, about a half hour from Sánchez&#8217;s Maryland home, looking for inspiration. They&#8217;ve worked up a treatment for a new story, which would involve original cast members Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams, albeit in smaller roles. Not sure how they plan on bringing back the original cast, ten years later. Even a film that takes place simultaneously would run into issues with their age. Hmmm&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here we go&#8230;the best of the best!  The top five horror films of all time! These are the films that will give you nightmares, change your life, and certainly changed the horror genre!  Ready?  Well, let&#8217;s recap before we jump in&#8230;. See numbers 31-27 here! Numbers 26-22 here! Numbers 21-17 here! Numbers 16-11 here! And, finally, numbers 10-6! The top 5 after the jump! 5. Seven I know, technically, Seven&#8216;s place in the horror genre is debatable  &#8212; could it really be more of a thriller?  Ultimately, I tend to think of Seven as a horror film, based on the sheer gore of the kills, and the viciousness and intensity of the film.  Man, Seven is one messed up film, and the ending shocked audiences everywhere.  Kevin Spacey had a one-two trick that year with this and Usual Suspects, but his performance here holds a special place in my heart.  The direction of Seven (by David Fincher) changed the look of films forever&#8230; 4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre In fact, a prime example of a film influenced by Seven is the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  Yes, the remake, and not the original.  The 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre shows what happens when you forego the jokes and just make a brutal, intense horror film.  This movie will have you on the edge of your seat the entire time.  And, of course, there isn&#8217;t enough love that can be given to director Marcus Nispel, who&#8217;s Seven-inspired look on this film set it....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here it is!  The best of the best!  Well, almost.  The second best of the best?  Here are numbers 10-6 on my list of the top 31 horror films of ALL TIME! There are sure to be some surprises in this one &#8230; See numbers 31-27 here! Numbers 26-22 here! Numbers 21-17 here! And numbers 16-11 here! 10. 28 Weeks Later Better than the original in every way, which I had though impossible after seeing the original.  28 Weeks Later is intense, and manages to truly surprise you and keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time, unsure of who will make it through to the end.  Brutal, intense, and a prime example of why everyone wants a 28 Months Later so badly. 9. The Blair Witch Project Admit it&#8230;you were freaked out after watching this.  The movie that singlehandedly killed the camping industry (not really).  But the Blair Witch Project really did fool half a nation who, for half a second, believed that the film was real.  And those who knew it wasn&#8217;t were still terrified.  You never see the witch, or what actually happens to the three friends who venture out into the woods, but damn if this wasn&#8217;t the film that changed the way horror was done.  Not only that, it&#8217;s an inspiration to low budget film makers &#8211; with a couple thousand books and some ingenuity, you can make one of the scariest movies of all time. 8. Alien Ridley Scott set out....]]></description>

In the Mouth of Madness The first of a couple of John Carpenter flicks on this list.  I remember seeing this film with the same friends I saw Tales from the Crypt Presents Demon Knight with (we had a little group of friends who would go see all the horror films at the local theater that didn&#8217;t ID us because we weren&#8217;t 17).  My buddy Nathan and I argued how much better Demon Knight was because of its humor, blood, boobs, and fun, and how this was just a boring piece of crap.  My tastes have matured a bit since then (though I still like boobs), and I see In The Mouth of Madness for the intelligent horror film that it is.  Though Carpenter tread similar material in Cigarette Burns, this ode to Stephen King truly sets you on edge the entire time.  It&#8217;s like a....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been of the opinion of &#8220;starting kids early.&#8221;  The sooner you can get them started on good horror fiction, the more likely they are to end up sick, twisted individuals like you and I!  But there&#8217;s a difference between starting them on something like Aliens versus something specifically made for children.  Sure, there&#8217;s Goosebumps and plenty of old seasons of Are You Afraid of the Dark to watch, but, ultimately, those are both child-friendly tales of classic urban legends and ghost stories that we&#8217;ve all heard, slimed up to appeal to the Nickelodeon audiences of the time. Still, there are some movies specifically made for kids that are both scary and relatively family friendly, and actually end up being both scary, and something that kids are likely to pop in every Halloween for years to come. Check out my top 5 kids horror movies after the jump! 5. The Batman vs. Dracula The Batman television show was better than it had any right being.  Though it had a weak couple of seasons (3 and 5, specifically), I think the series really found a great voice and differentiated itself from the previous Bruce Timm Batman series, while still managing to not suck when compared to it (I know some differ in my opinion on that one).  While supposedly a more child-friendly series than the previous incarnation, the series still managed some very adult themes and episodes (like a zombie one that was better than the recent Smallville zombie episode). ....]]></description>

ALL-NEW SCAREZONE EMERGES FOR THE FINAL WEEKEND OF HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO Guests Get the Chance to Inspire the Event’s 20th Year of Fear WHAT: An all-new terrifying scarezone will emerge from the shadows this week at Universal Orlando. Guests who are brave enough to walk the ominous NY alley will have the chance to inspire elements of next year’s 20th anniversary run of Halloween Horror Nights – the “country’s best Halloween event.” After experiencing the new scarezone, guests will have the opportunity to tell Halloween Horror Nights creators what scares them the most. In on-camera interviews or through other surveys, guests will be asked to share their favorite moments from the past 19 years of terror and what new fears they’d like to have piqued.  This feedback will be used to inspire what will be the most intense year of fear in the event’s history. Halloween Horror Nights: Ripped From the Silver Screen runs for only four more nights: October 28 – 31. At this year’s event, modern horror films are “ripped from the silver screen.” Never before has the event featured such a catalog of horror. Everyone knows “SAW,” “The Wolfman” and “Chucky.” And now everyone will get to live them in person. WHERE: Universal....]]></description>

Evil Dead II Sure, Evil Dead II really isn&#8217;t the best film in the world.  Really, we all love it because, for a while, it became this cult film that you were never able to see because it was always checked out at the video store.  But you always heard about the X-Rated horror movie that featured the guy chopping off his own hand and all that crazy sh*t like the laughing moose head.  Ultimately, Evil Dead II is both a product and a victim of overactive fanboys, including myself.  The promise of what Evil Dead II is may be better than the actual film, but that&#8217;s half of its charm.  The original Evil Dead and this sequel are inspirations for low budget filmmakers everywhere &#8211; its star is now a B-Movie legend, and its director has directed one of the top grossing films of all time.  Evil Dead....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know what I&#8217;m always saying about over-hyped films? Why the hell do people like this film so much?  I mean, for the first hour, literally NOTHING happens.  It&#8217;s not creepy, it&#8217;s not foreboding, there&#8217;s nothing really going on other than watching the babysitter run around the house.  I appreciate the call backs to classic 70&#8242;s horror in the opening credits and the film&#8217;s score, but, seriously, Babysitter Wanted was a millions time better than this.  And I like this film&#8217;s director, Ti West, quite a bit. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m  huge fan of the &#8220;slow burn&#8221; type of horror film.  No one is as patient as me when it comes to that kind of stuff.  But damn&#8230;this film wasn&#8217;t burning, it wasn&#8217;t even simmering &#8211; there was just nothing happening.  And then, when something does happen, it&#8217;s so over-the-top, it doesn&#8217;t even feel like we&#8217;re watching the same movie. I know it sounds like I&#8217;m being unfair on the film, but I was really looking forward to this.  Like I said, I love director Ti West (his The Roost is not only a good film, it&#8217;s inspiring for amateur filmmakers), but this film just was not working for me. In the film, Samantha is in dire need of money and ends up responding to an ad for a babysitting job.  She shows up at the house, where a creepy old couple (Tom Noonan amd Mary Woronov) let her know that the babysitting job isn&#8217;t so much for a....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[5 more days till Halloween, Halloween, Halloween … 5 more days till Halloween … SILVER SHAMROCK! Running every day until PAULOWEEN, I’m going to be listing my top 31 Horror Films of ALL TIME.  I know there will be disagreements, in fact I’m encouraging it!  Let me know if you agree, disagree, or think I’m leaving something out of my list!  Let me tell you, this list wasn’t easy to put together, especially when you’ve seen as many horror films as I have. See numbers 31-27 here! After the jump, check out my choices for 26-22 (sure to raise some eyebrows &#8230; I&#8217;m looking at you, Rob!)! 26. Paranormal Activity I know some of you are saying &#8220;too soon,&#8221; and others are probably wondering how this made it on my list, considering I only gave it an 8 on my Awesomeness Scale (and Rob hated it like herpes).  But, despite its predictability, Paranormal Activity was scary as f*ck.  I was thankful that I didn&#8217;t have to go home after the movie, but instead could spend the night in a hotel room (I was visiting Orlando).  I&#8217;m not sure I could have slept after watching this movie had I been in my own bedroom.  Sure, it&#8217;s not for everyone &#8211; if creaky floors, loud noises, and things moving unexplainably aren&#8217;t up your alley.  But if you&#8217;re more creeped out by what you don&#8217;t see, this movie will terrify you. In theaters nationwide, by popular demand.  Plus, it actually beat Saw in....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[6 more days till Halloween, Halloween, Halloween &#8230; 6 more days till Halloween &#8230; SILVER SHAMROCK! No, Halloween III: Season of the Witch is nowhere to be found in my top 31 horror films of all time listing, but another entry in that beloved series of films is! Starting today, and running every day until PAULOWEEN, I&#8217;m going to be listing my top 31 Horror Films of ALL TIME.  I know there will be disagreements, in fact I&#8217;m encouraging it!  Let me know if you agree, disagree, or think I&#8217;m leaving something out of my list!  Let me tell you, this list wasn&#8217;t easy to put together, especially when you&#8217;ve seen as many horror films as I have. After the jump, see numbers 31-27! 31. Ghostwatch It&#8217;s kind of funny, but three of my top 31 horror films of all time are actually TV movies.  Two of them have something in common, though &#8211; they both come from our friends over in jolly old England, where they&#8217;ve been doing horror right for ages now.  Ghostwatch is a 1992 TV movie that was filmed in a very documentary-style, following reporters as they taped a &#8220;live&#8221; broadcast from a supposedly haunted house, and the haunted hijinks that ensue.  Probably the most controversial British television events in years, to the casual viewer, this seemed all too real, almost like the original radio broadcast of War of the Worlds.  Even with a credit sequence at the beginning, viewers couldn&#8217;t tell the show wasn&#8217;t real,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm&#8230;something about this film intrigues me: I mean, don&#8217;t we all love Nic Cage in a &#8220;creepy uncle who touches you inappropriately&#8221; kinda way? In the supernatural thriller Season of the Witch, Nicolas Cage stars as a 14th century Crusader who returns with his comrade (Ron Perlman) to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence. A priest (Stephen Campbell Moore), a grieving knight (Ulrich Thomsen), an itinerant swindler (Stephen Graham) and a headstrong youth who can only dream of becoming a knight (Robert Sheehan) join a mission troubled by mythically hostile wilderness and fierce contention over the fate of the girl. When the embattled party arrives at the abbey, a horrific discovery jeopardizes the knight&#8217;s pledge to ensure the girl fair treatment, and pits them against an inexplicably powerful and destructive force. Season of the Witch comes out in March for some unknown reason. But I&#8217;ll be there! Can&#8217;t be any worse than Wicker Man.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All I have to say is&#8230;Thank God they didn&#8217;t stick with the original title of De2cent or whatever the hell it was.  It&#8217;s bad enough they found out a way to make a sequel to one of the best horror movies of the last decade to begin with.  I&#8217;ve heard mixed reviews on this one &#8211; some people say it&#8217;s as good as the first, others hate it.  The Descent 2 opens in the UK this December, and I&#8217;d expect us to get it over here in the US not long after.  Thanks to ShockTillYouDrop, we have a trailer AND a synopsis! In the film, Sarah (Macdonald) emerges alone from a cave system following an expedition with her five friends in the Appalachian mountains. Distraught, injured and covered in the blood of her missing companions, Sarah is incoherent and half-wild with fear. Skeptical about her account of events and convinced Sarah&#8217;s psychosis hides far darker secrets, Sheriff Vaines forces her back into the caves to help locate the rest of the group. Trapped by falling rocks, the rescue party are driven deep into the caverns, and as one by one the fate of the missing girls is revealed, Sarah is forced to confront her deepest fears.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scary Madison Productions. Just those words should kind of scare you &#8211; the combination of Adam Sandler and horror films has wielded an unholy union of direct to DVD horror.  But, sadly, that&#8217;s the scariest thing about the film.  Because The Shortcut isn&#8217;t really scary or funny, despite attempts at being both. Full review after the jump. So, in The Shortcut, two brothers new in town are trying to get acclimated to their new surroundings, but the younger brother comes home one day after being threatened by a crazy old man on the way home from school one day.   As it turns out, the crazy old man may be responsible for a rash of missing dogs in the area.  So one night (like over halfway into the damn movie), the older brother and some of his friends decide to sneak into the old man&#8217;s house to find out what&#8217;s really going on and what, if any, urban legends are true. The thing about The Shortcut is that it&#8217;s (mostly) competently made and acted.  The actors all put in a pretty decent job, and, visually, the film may not be blu-ray material, but is certainly a higher quality DTV.  However, the fault in the film lies in the fact that&#8230;well, it&#8217;s just not scary.  Nothing really happens until the last 15/20 minutes of the film and, even then, the payoff is certainly not worth it. Despite some (poorly executed) gory bits when things (finally) happen, the film could have been a....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How could you not want to?  The iconic classic, from Full Moon Pictures masermind Charles Band, is now available to view, in FULL, for FREE at Hulu!  If you&#8217;re one of the few folks out there who don&#8217;t know what Puppet Master is about&#8230; In the 1930s, a puppeteer summoned magical powers from ancient Egypt to bring his dolls to life. He then subsequently committed suicide. In the present, another suicide at the same Bodega Bay Hotel brings a group of psychics together to find and destroy the newly reanimated and murderous puppets. The film has quite a loyal following, and with good reason.  It&#8217;s quite a special little film, and, despite its low budget, still pretty darn good. Catch up before Axis of Evil comes out next year!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Long story short, The Cottage is a great horror/comedy that fans of films like Shaun of the Dead, Severance, and Evil Dead really need to say.  Hell, any horror fans in general will find a lot to enjoy in this film, with its quirky humor, plentiful gore, and fun storyline. Full review after the jump! In The Cottage, Andy Serkis and Reece Shearsmith play two awful kidnappers who kidnap the daughter of a gangster (Jennifer Ellison &#8211; DAMN!) in an effort to get money that they can use to buy a boat and retire.  However, the gangster, onto their plan, sends some Chinese hit-men to take them out.  Doesn&#8217;t really sound scary yet, does it?  Well, when the sh*t hits the fan about halfway into the film, it doesn&#8217;t let go as the kidnappers (and kidnapped) come across an abandoned farm&#8230;that may not be so abandoned. Imagine the very-American Wrong Turn made by a bunch of crazy Brits with dark senses of humor, and you might have a good idea of what you&#8217;re in store for with The Cottage.  Andy Serkis, finally playing something other than CG characters (and no, I don&#8217;t count his Popeye-esque role as the ship&#8217;s captain in King Kong), does an excellent job, as do the rest of the cast.  They manage to make you laugh while all of these horrible things are happening to them.  This is a horror comedy that gets it right &#8211; there&#8217;s tons of great humor, but the film never lets....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sadly, it&#8217;s been revealed that the upcoming sequel to 30 Days of Night, Dark Days, will end up as a direct to DVD entry, rather than a theatrical film.  I wonder if that&#8217;s more budget-driven, or because Melissa George chose not to reprise her role as Stella.  Still, thanks to Bloody-Disgusting, we can see that the film did manage to pull in a pretty decent cast, as filming has officially kicked off! Turns out Mia Kirshner, from &#8220;The L Word&#8221; and of being HOT fame, plays the lead vamp &#8220;Lilith&#8221;. In addition, Rhys Coiro (Billy from &#8220;Entourage&#8221;), Harold Perrineau (&#8220;Lost&#8221;, 28 Weeks Later), Kiele Sanchez (A Perfect Getaway, Insanitarium, &#8220;Lost&#8221;) and Diora Baird (Texas Chiansaw Massacre: The Beginning) are appearing in the film. The film involves Stella getting revenge on he vampires behind the assault on Barrow, Alaska, that left all of her family and friends either dead or&#8230;well&#8230;yeah, just dead.]]></description>

A new trailer that gives away more of the film than you should see is now available on the official site. See this movie!  And let us know what you thought!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again&#8230;.HELL TO THE YES! Those awesome dudes from Nox Arcana, who we talked to here, told us about an album they were working on with Jeff “Buzz” Hartz called Zombie Influx, an industrial/techno album inspired by good music to listen to while zombies&#8217;re munchin&#8217; on your guts! Nox Arcana have collaborated with Jeff Hartz of Buzz-Works to create Zombie Influx, a creepy audio experience that creates the terror and panic of a zombie invasion through the use of frantic emergency news broadcasts, ambient sound effects and ominous cinematic music. A lifelong fan of George Romero&#8217;s classic zombie films, as well as Sam Raimi&#8217;s Evil Dead series, Jeff was inspired to create Zombie Influx as a tribute to the movies that warped his mind. Co-written and produced by Joseph Vargo and engineered by William Piotrowski, the music incorporates the retro feel of George Romero&#8217;s classic zombie films with the darkwave soundtracks of movies like Return of the Living Dead and Resident Evil. Listen to the track Doomsday here! 06Doomsday Check out more info on Zombie Influx on the official Myspace page, and make sure to buy a copy through iTunes or Buzz-Works (where you can hear even more songs)! In addition, they&#8217;ve announced a new CD, entitled Winter&#8217;s Eve, that&#8217;s due out around November! Also, another new Nox Arcana CD is already well underway. Joseph Vargo reveals that the next album will once again celebrate the winter holiday season, but from a different perspective. &#8220;The story revolves around an ancient....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Corey Feldman is set to star in an online series of Webisodes for Netflix, produced bv Roger Corman, which is set to premiere two days before Pauloween.  Think about that for a second.  Re-read that sentence. Corey Feldman.  Roger Corman. What sick genius gods have given us such a tremendous pairing? Oh, and it&#8217;s directed by JOE DANTE! The webisodes will be available at Netflix.com/Splatter, and because Corman knows what we all want, we’re being given the option, as viewers to choose the creative direction of the series by voting on the fate of its characters. The series is three episodes, premiering on Oct 29, then following up with episodes on Nov 6 and 13. The series follows rock-and-roll legend Johnny Splatter, a musical genius who accumulated as many hit records as he did enemies on his climb up the fame ladder. His sudden death, ruled a suicide, brings a small circle of professional parasites and hangers-on to his Hollywood Hills mansion for the reading of his last will and testament. But as his &#8220;frenemies&#8221; come to pick the bones clean, Johnny has returned for a deadly encore long after what they thought was his final curtain. Heh…can’t wait.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This sounds like an awesome idea &#8211; let&#8217;s make it happen! Want to be in a cool new horror film? You can play a victim &#8211; hell, you can even play one of the survivors! Dr. Bonesaw is the name of the film, and they&#8217;re trying to raise $63,000 to make it.  How?  Well, by asking the victims for money!  &#8220;As a sexy and promiscuous young medical staff begin falling victim to Bonesaw&#8217;s blade, the body count will include plenty of great deaths throughout the hospital, and those victims will be played by Kickstarters. The movie will be 90 minutes of gross-you-out gore, golden one-liners and a hot murderous maniac with a bonesaw hand, and we want you to be more than just someone who gives us money &#8211; we want you to be part of the movie.&#8221; Right now, the deadline is a little soon to try to make the over $46k that they&#8217;re trying, but ya never know.  The more of you guys who give to the project, the more likely it is to happen!  Check out more here!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the nice, quiet town of StoneWater Falls, Virginia, there are many secrets.  There&#8217;s the story of Rennie, the rapist that the town hung up like a scarecrow and keep him alive, to this day, feeding him just enough to waste away from his place in the cornfield.  And of course there&#8217;s the tales of the lagoon where children go &#8230; and never return.  There&#8217;s dozens of tales of mystery and murder in StoneWater Falls, but none quiet so bloody as the tale of Paul Laniati, the town butcher.  See, StoneWater Falls is a small town, with almost as many secrets as residents, and the reason for so many of their secrets is that they don&#8217;t allow &#8220;riff raff&#8221; in their town.  It&#8217;s hard to keep an idyllic little town like StoneWater Falls idyllic, but guys like Paul make it easier for the town&#8217;s residents.  See, he&#8217;s got a little red phone behind the counter of his store that rings whenever a &#8220;delivery&#8221; comes in.  And these deliveries can be anything, really &#8230; a fresh cut of beef, some chicken from the local farm, some teenagers drunk behind the movie theater, a homeless man who&#8217;s wandered into town, those annoying brats next door &#8230; all will be served at Paul&#8217;s Butcher Shop! The elaborate tale of Paul&#8217;s Butcher Shop is the theme behind this year&#8217;s Pauloween party at my house.  See, I had a Pauloween party a couple of year&#8217;s ago that was a blast and I&#8217;ve been trying to....]]></description>

The above video was directed by the guy who brought us Hatchet (which kicks ass) and Spiral (which also kicks ass), Adam Green.  He does a short film every year that usually have a horror/comedy spin (like last year&#8217;s The Tivo).  Check them all out here!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hell yes, you heard me right.  This week on the official Star Wars website, to celebrate the release of this week&#8217;s book Death Troopers, they&#8217;re &#8220;kicking off a week&#8217;s worth of content showcasing some fantastic artwork contributions made by several well-known artists in the Star Wars community.&#8221; What&#8217;s Death Troopers?  It&#8217;s a horror novel set in the Star Wars universe!  Yes, the undead have infested the galaxy far, far away and they&#8217;re munching on a pack of clone troopers! When the Imperial prison barge Purge–temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves–breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict, and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back–bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine. And death is only the beginning. The Purge’s half-dozen survivors–two teenage brothers, a sadistic captain of the guards, a couple of rogue smugglers, and the chief medical officer, the lone woman on board–will do whatever it takes to stay alive. But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting aboard the Star Destroyer amid its vast creaking emptiness that isn’t really empty at all. For the dead are rising: soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry. Read an except of Death Troopers here!  And read more about....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Being Human&#8221; is a show broadcast on BBC America.  For those of you who haven&#8217;t seen it, the basic premise is that a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost are roommates in a rented house in Bristol.  The main impetus for this arrangement is that each of these individuals is seeking to separate themselves from their supernatural cultures, to live as normal a &#8220;human&#8221; life as they possibly can. My initial thought about the show was kind of a &#8220;here we go again&#8221; reaction.  We&#8217;ve all seen plenty of vampire/werewolf/ghost tropes parading through popular media, and I&#8217;ve generally been of the opinion this genre has had all the originality wrung out of it long ago.  I&#8217;m really glad I didn&#8217;t listen to that inner voice as &#8220;Being Human&#8221; really took me by surprise&#8230;in a good way. The show has moments of genre-deviation that keep it unique.  For example, there&#8217;s George Sands, played by Russell Tovey.  George is a werewolf.  A very typical beastie, as far as the supernatural part of him goes, but what makes him stand out is his human side.  George&#8217;s human persona gives us no clue that he possesses a more bestial nature. While some famous werewolves look a bit animal-like when the full moon has set, George is pasty-white and rather nerdy.  He is thoughtful, compassionate, and truly frightened by his affliction.  He is on the verge of panic when the full moon is ready to rise, genuinely afraid of the damage that he might unwittingly inflict....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came home yesterday from work to find a nice big envelope waiting for me.  I picked it up and looked at it oddly &#8211; I hadn&#8217;t ordered anything.  I felt around the package a little bit &#8211; there was a DVD in it.  A DVD from Full Moon Features?  Could it be?  I tore open the envelope and looked inside&#8230; Hell to the yes! I&#8217;ve been looking forward to this movie ever since it was announced, and knew, the second I had it in my grubby little hands, there was no way I was going through this weekend without seeing it!  So I popped the flick in my DVD player, kicked my feet up, and got myself ready for Charles Band&#8217;s newest film&#8230;SKULL HEADS! Review after the jump! So what&#8217;s Skull Heads about?  Well, despite what you may think, it&#8217;s not really like another Puppet Master/Demonic Toys, but more like the movie Dangerous Worry Dolls, where the dolls/creatures don&#8217;t really kill people throughout the film and kind of drive the story, but moreso that they are an element to the story, which focuses on weird people doing weird things.  In Skull Heads, the story focuses on a hermit family &#8211; they don&#8217;t venture out of their castle, and they don&#8217;t like interaction with the outside world.  The film starts with the father strapping his daughter (the yummy Robin Sydney) to a torture room table to punish her for having a cell phone. See, this damn kid wants to communicate....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Released last week on DVD was this year&#8217;s batch of Ghost House Underground titles.  Unlike last year, in which we got EIGHT brand new horror films (I&#8217;m assuming inspired by After Dark&#8217;s 8 Films to Die For), we only get four films this year.  However, this year the films seem to be of a slightly higher quality, and with some bigger name stars.  I already reviewed one release, The Children, way back when.  Check that one out here (I loved it). Of the four film&#8217;s released this year that I hadn&#8217;t seen already, I was most excited about Seventh Moon because of an interesting cast and crew, and a unique premise. In Seventh Moon, Melissa (Amy Smart) and Yul are honeymooning in China during the &#8220;Seventh Moon&#8221; festival.  According to ancient mythology, the dead are freed to walk among the living during the seventh full moon of the year.  When their taxi driver leaves them in a remote, abandoned village, it isn&#8217;t long before they realize that they are the ones intended to be the sacrifice for the hungry ghosts! With solid acting and directing (from Blair Witch and Altered director Eduardo Sanchez), Seventh Moon, along with The Children, give me a lot of fath in this year&#8217;s batch of Ghost House Underground titles.  Seventh Moon is an intense little film that was made for not a lot of money, with very few cast members and probably a very minimal budget.  But it works.  The scares are good, the action....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seriously? They&#8217;re already remaking Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Looks like the whole Platinum Dunes deal to make more Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies fell through (no tears shed from me after that crappy prequel movie), and Twisted Pictures, the folks behind the Saw franchise, have picked up the rights to do multiple pictures. Their plan is to bring the story into present day for a 3D Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot scripted by Stephen Susco, writer of the American reduxes of The Grudge. Kinda makes me sad.  The remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME.  The fact that the guys behind Saw want to take this franchise over doesn&#8217;t inspire a ton of faith in me.  The last couple of Saw films have been DTV quality &#8211; I wouldn&#8217;t wish that on my beloved Leatherface.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most horror fans are quick to write off Hollywood films nowadays, as it&#8217;s become chock-full of CW cast members looking to make a quick buck in the off season in neutered horror where we get no gore, no nudity and, sadly, no fun.  Watching the trailer for Sorority Row, it&#8217;s easy to write it off as another lame PG-13 snore fest, not worth the $5 matinee price. Watching a trailer like that, it&#8217;s easy to remember the recent remake of Black Christmas, the mean-spirited film that piled on the gore and lost much of the charm and dread of the original film.  Still, it was filled with pretty ladies!  Just like Sorority Row.  However, whereas Black Christmas lost so much of its fun and humor in bleakness and mean-spiritedness, Sorority Row manages to have an old-school fun horror film sensibility.  It won&#8217;t win any awards for it&#8217;s originality, or hell, even for anything, but it does manage to be a pretty decent horror flick overall. Full review after the jump! In Sorority Row, a prank goes very, very wrong.  A college kid cheats on a girl, and her sorority sisters come up with a way to get him back &#8211; by faking his girlfriend&#8217;s death.  Who the hell does that kind of stuff?  Well, apparently the girls of Theta Pi do!  While trying to mess with this guy though, they make a mistake &#8211; in order to hide the body, the girls say that they need to release the air....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Bloody Disgusting, Bloody Disgusting exclusively learned today that Victor Garcia (Return to the House on Haunted Hill) has been taped to direct Mirrors II for 20th Century Fox. In addition, we got our hands on the synopsis that they&#8217;re working with: &#8220;After losing his fiancee in a car crash, for which he blames himself, suicidal Max Matheson reluctantly takes a job as a night watchman at his father&#8217;s Mayflower Department Store. When his co-workers are killed off in gruesome and horrible ways and Max begins to see a mysterious young woman in all the store&#8217;s mirrors, desperate to communicate with him, he fears he&#8217;s losing his mind, or that he may be the next victim.&#8221; The screenplay was written by Matt Venne and will shoot in Baton Rouge, LA this November. The description screams direct to DVD sequel to me, actually.  I&#8217;m guessing no return performance from the Kief.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, while I was on &#8220;on assignment&#8221; in Florida (that&#8217;s the IoM word for &#8220;vacation&#8221;), I missed not one, but TWO episodes of television&#8217;s best show, Supernatural! So you get Supernatural Saturday on Thursday (in time for tonight&#8217;s new episode!).  Both &#8220;Free to be You and Me&#8221; and &#8220;The End&#8221; were mythology-centric episodes of the series, which makes for four in a row. &#8220;The End,&#8221; the much hyped &#8220;zombie&#8221; episode, ended up being something entirely different (which we&#8217;ve kind of come to expect from the show), while &#8220;Free to be You and Me&#8221; involved Dean and Castiel going on a buddy cop drama to find God. Check out my review of both episodes after the jump! After the events of &#8220;Good God, Y&#8217;all,&#8221; Sam and Dean are no longer hunting together.  Sam is having visions of his ex-girlfriend, Jessica (she dies in the first episode), while also trying to live a &#8220;normal&#8221; life, having taken up a bussing job at a local bar.  The visions of Jessica tell him that he will never change despite his efforts.  Meanwhile, Dean continues hunting on his own and teams up with Castiel to find the Archangel Raphael.  See, God&#8217;s been missing, and, according to Castiel, Raphael knows God’s location. When they Raphael&#8217;s vessel, they lure him out, but Raphael claims that God is dead. Sam is dealing with hunters who want his help, but find out that he&#8217;s the one responsible for letting the Devil loose upon the world.  After fighting them off,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I promised 31 horror movie reviews as part of Pauloween Horror Nights – here’s #4! So after many years bouncing around in the WB Vault, Trick &#8216;r Treat finally came out this week (look at the date on the calendar) and, sadly, it was a straight to DVD premiere. Still, better to have this film released on DVD than not at all. Rather than getting into all of the crazy details surrounding the mystery of this film&#8217;s delay, let&#8217;s jump into the important part, shall we?  Is Trick &#8216;r Treat worth the hype and the wait? While I won&#8217;t go on record saying this is the best horror film of all time, or even the best Halloween-based horror film of all time (can you really beat Carpenter&#8217;s Halloween?), I will say that Trick &#8216;r Treat is a great film, and captures the spirit of the holiday better than any other film I&#8217;ve ever seen. Trick &#8216;r Treat is packed with jack-o-lanterns, orange leaves, cool costumes, and creepiness.  It perfectly puts you in the mood for the Pauloween season.  I can see this becoming a yearly ritual, much like the Awesome Household&#8217;s yearly viewing of Nightmare Before Christmas. Trick &#8216;r Treat is an anthology film but, unlike Creepshow, these stories aren&#8217;t necessarily told separately.  We pop in and out of tales, and they are mostly told out of order.  They do have some connections (mostly superficial), but all make for great spooky stories on their own.  Trick &#8216;r Treat is the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes folks, I&#8217;m not making this up.  There is an Evil Dead: The Musical.  It&#8217;s true &#8211; here&#8217;s the official site. The coolest part is?  It&#8217;s coming to my area, Norfolk, Virginia! Evil Dead: The Musical unearths the old familiar story: boy and friends take a weekend getaway at abandoned cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, &#8220;camp&#8221;; takes on a whole new meaning with uproarious numbers like &#8220;All the Men in my Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons&#8221;, &#8220;Look Who&#8217;s Evil Now&#8221; and &#8220;Do the Necronomicon&#8221;. Buzzing chainsaws and dancing demons add to the frenzy, slaying audiences with a tale of lust, love and dismemberment. October 16 &#8211; November 8, 2009 Friday and Saturday at 8:00pm Sunday at 2:30pm Not sure when I&#8217;ll be going, but you can be damn sure I will be!  Buy tickets at the Generic Theatre website (make sure to ask for the Splatter Zone)!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After attending the opening night gala for Universal Studios&#8217; Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando, Florida, I was worried that, after such a pleasurable experience, I wouldn&#8217;t really be able to enjoy Busch Gardens&#8217; Howl-O-Scream event, a mere hour away.  I wasn&#8217;t really digging the whole fashion-show-themed House of Vayne storyline (I mean, aren&#8217;t we all a little sick of vampires?) and the majority of the houses were recycled houses from previous years (which is usually my one major gripe about the event both in Tampa and in Williamsburg, Virginia). Luckily, my fears were unfounded.  Celebrating its tenth year, Busch Gardens&#8217; Howl-O-Scream event may not have the type of production design you&#8217;ll see at Universal Studios, but what they lack in finances, they make up for in great scares and unique attractions.  The event this year really made it feel like you couldn&#8217;t escape the scare &#8211; there were very few &#8220;dead zones&#8221; in the park &#8211; that is, areas where nothing scary was set up.  Even non-scarezone areas had scareactors hidden, and they stepped up the game in unexpected scares.  This year was definitely a fantastic year for the event &#8211; check out my full review after the jump! Entering the park a little before 6, my wife and I attended Club Envy, one of the two main &#8220;waiting queue&#8221; events this year.  Typically, rather than just hoarding every guest waiting for HOS into a specific area of the park (which they do also), Busch Gardens (heretofore refered to as....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Though Paranormal Activity may be hitting it big right now, not everyone realizes that the film has seen a long road to finally make it to the big screen.  Activity was actually completed in 2007, and is just now seeing a release (albeit a very odd one).  Well, looks like director/writer Oren Peli is getting geared up to start production on Area 51, a &#8220;found footage&#8221; film about a group of teens who sneak into Area 51, with disastrous results. Paranormal Activity cost $11,000 to make.  Area 51 has an initial budget of $5mil.  Quite a jump! Check out more info and quotes from Peli at ComingSoon.  And check out our Paranormal Activity review here!]]></description>

From the classics to the controversial, this 4th Annual calendar features pinups of all varieties: cover model Jana Jordan getting paranormal with a TV set, sultry scream queen Justine Joli in the most vintage of psychotic shower scenes, Bobbi Starr sewn together (literally) in a more naked version of Frankenstein, as well as Aria Giovanni, Kayla Jane Danger, Karlie Montana, Mosh, and Zoli Suicide getting their scream on. Sexy, not scary. Nerdcore 2010. The calendar is printed on high quality paper (suitable for keeping it for years to come), and measures 12 inches wide x 18 inches tall.  And the best part about it?  NERD DATES &#8211; &#8220;Regular and nerdy holidays, including over one hundred important holy days for geeks, including: Major movie releases; conventions like San Diego Comic-Con, Alternative Press Expo, etc. ; anniversaries for major franchises and cult classics; birthdays for of genre favorite creators, actors, writers, and directors; and key fictional happenings, from obscure to awesome.&#8221; So what are you waiting for?  Pick one up today!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE!  Paranormal Activity is opening this coming weekend in Boston, Charlotte,  Cincinnati, Cleveland, El Paso,  Hampton Roads metro area,  Indianapolis, Kansas City,  Pittsburgh, Portland,  Salt Lake City,  (Canada),  &#38; University of Massachusetts Amherst!  These showings WILL sell out, so get your tickets early! Paranormal Activity has become something of a phenomenon.  Released in a select few theaters, and with midnight showings only, the film has uniformly sold out almost all of it&#8217;s showings, and has garnered wider and wider releases every weekend since its release.  I was able to get my hands on tickets to a midnight screening over the weekend of Paranormal Activity at Universal Citywalk Theaters in Orlando, FL. Paranormal Activity is an amalgamation of every haunted house/possession movie you&#8217;ve ever seen.  It&#8217;s extremely predictable, and each seen is telegraphed to the point that you know exactly what&#8217;s going to happen before it happens. It&#8217;s also traumatically frightening in spite of this. Full review after the jump! Let me start off with a bit of the story of the experiece of seeing Paranormal Activity.  Because of the crowds, the theater was a bit of a mess.  We got there about an hour and a half early (we were told to be there AT LEAST an hour early), and no line had formed.  By 11, a line had begun, but it wasn&#8217;t really organized &#8211; we were blocking the ticket booth, and the entrance doors to the theater.  The manager (I think) formed everyone into a pseudo-line, and made....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much has been said about the American remakes of Asian horror films &#8211; typically, they&#8217;re not as good or people are just sick of seeing the same thing over again, and, of course, there&#8217;s the whole &#8220;there&#8217;s no more original ideas in Hollywood&#8221; argument.  But little is said of the reverse &#8211; as much as Asian Horror inspires American horror, so does American horror inspire Asian Horror!  In recent years, overseas (and not just in Asian countries), we&#8217;ve seen a plethora of American-style slasher films, including, most notably, films like Cold Prey 1 and 2 and Frontier(s). Just as the &#8220;torture porn&#8221; style of American films is on its dying breath, it&#8217;s begun invading shores overseas.  In France, we&#8217;ve seen films such as Inside and Martyrs (review), and in Asian countries, we&#8217;re now seeing films like the Japanese Grotesque and the Taiwanese Invitation Only.  While Grotesque has disgusted people for it&#8217;s vile nature and emphasis on uncomfortable gore over story, Invitation Only takes another route &#8211; it almost literally is a Taiwan-based version of the movie Hostel, with similar humor, scenes, and a resolution. More after the jump! Ordinary young men and women often dream of the unreachable life of the world’s idle rich. Wade, Richard, Hitomi, Holly and Lin certainly do. They have all received an invitation to an exclusive party held by a group of rich &#38; famous people,obviously addressed to them by mistake.But all the same, they attend. It is the best party ever, a wishing game....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I promised 31 horror movie reviews as part of Pauloween Horror Nights &#8211; here&#8217;s #1! The announcement of two sequels in the Ju-On franchise worried some people, I think.  After all, the last couple of films in both the Japanese franchise and the American franchise it inspired, The Grudge, left much to be desired (so much so that The Grudge 3 wasn&#8217;t even released in theaters).  Were people finally tired of thin, long black-haired Asian women who burp to scare them? Well, then they announced that not only one, but TWO sequels were coming to the popular franchise, Shiroi Roujo (Old Lady in White) and Kuroi Shoujo (Girl in Black).  There were quite a few questions surrounding the sequels &#8211; two sequels simulatenously?  Would they be two parts of one movie?  Would they be feature length? Well, I still haven&#8217;t seen Kuroi Shoujo, but to answer the final question, Shiroi Roujo is a 60-minute long film.  It&#8217;s like a made-for-cable TV show, essentially, and filmed with similar production values.  Don&#8217;t expect any of the fancy camera work or expensive special effects &#8211; this is a low budget Ju-On film.  In fact, it really does feel (save for some violence), as if it was made for television. Unfortunately, one of the first things to go in the budget cuts were the scare factor.  Whereas my wife refuses to see any of The Grudge movies because the first one scared her so bad, this film has a ghost, and it does kill....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I took a break from theme parking this evening and instead decided to attend a movie down here in Orlando, Fl.  Instead of hitting some of the wide release horror flicks out right now, I decided to hit up something that I could probably only see in very few places.  Since Paranormal Activity is sold out at the only theater playing it in the area until NEXT WEEKEND, I decided to check out Joel Shumacher&#8217;s Blood Creek, which pretty much got the shaft from Lionsgate, and was given a release similar to Midnight Meat Train &#8211; that is, being released in a handful of second run theaters throughout the country with next to nothing in publicity. I got lost both going to and from the theater last night &#8211; that&#8217;s how damn hard this place is to find!  But I was determined, and even though I got there less than a minute before showtime, made it in time (and for a measly $2.50 ticket price!). In Blood Creek, Henry Cavill (The Tudors) plays Evan Marshall, a paramedic who lives in a trailer behind his sick father&#8217;s house, and who is still reeling from the disappearance of his brother two years prior.  They were on a fishing trip and got separated in the woods, and though Evan followed his brother&#8217;s screams, they never found him.  To help himself accept the loss, Evan even had a tombstone created.  Of course, this was premature, as one night, Evan is woken up by....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And no, we don&#8217;t mean the end of the series, but more episode four of the current season, which is titled &#8220;The End,&#8221; and looks to involve running zombies.  Since zombie are all the rage this year, supposedly Smallville will also feature a zombie episode sometime this season. From ShockTillYouDrop (spoiler warning if you&#8217;re behind on your episodes): Sam tells Dean he wants to rejoin him in the battle of the Apocalypse. Dean tells Sam that they are better off apart in fighting evil on their own terms. Later, Dean awakens five years in the future in an abandoned city. There he is attacked by humans who have been infected with a demonic virus that turns humans into mindless, flesh-eating zombies. Zachariah appears to Dean and explains that this is the world that exists as a result of Dean refusing to help the angels fighting Lucifer. Dean meets up with a future Dean, who tells him that the virus is the Devil&#8217;s endgame for destroying mankind. Check out a ton more pics at STYD!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: ComingSoon This almost sounds like a David Cronenberg movie (but not Existenz&#8230;screw that movie).  David Cronenberg, who directed the remake of The Fly back in 1986 (with a naked Jeff Goldblum and a big-haired Geena Davis), is apparently going to write and direct a remake of that film. If you&#8217;ve never seen the 1986 The Fly by Cronenberg (often cited as one of the greatest horror flicks ever), it involved a scientist (Goldblum) who was trying to perfect teleportation, but accidentally gets his DNA mixed with that of a fly.  It was kinda like this: This is almost like when they got the guy who directed The Ring to direct the American remake of The Ring.  Except much, much worse.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Apocalypse is finally here (for those of us who were anxiously awaiting it) on television&#8217;s Supernatural and the sh*t has officially hit the fan.  Old friends are back, new friends are made, and the world is going topsy-turvy. If you&#8217;re trying to avoid spoilers, this week&#8217;s episode of Supernatural involved Sam and Dean trying to save their friends (I won&#8217;t say who) in a town full taken over by demons as part of the ongoing Apocalypse.  An overall solid episode (about as strong as last week&#8217;s, really), tensions are flaring high because of recent events and a very emotional ending sets up for an interesting storyline in the next couple of episodes. So let&#8217;s talk about the newest episode, &#8220;Good God Y&#8217;all&#8221;, and hopefully have plenty of talkback so you guys can tell us what you thought of the episode! Spoiler-filled discussion after the jump! Before that, though, am I the only one who&#8217;s sad that Katie Cassidy&#8217;s hotness is being wasted on Melrose Place instead of here on Supernatural?  Just sayin&#8217;. Though the episode was a strong one, this season of Supernatural is definitely taking a cue from some other popular serialized shows, and is delving full on into mythology episodes regularly, rather than the &#8220;monster of the week&#8221; formula.  Quick summary?  From Wikipedia: Bobby is still in the hospital and is quite bitter about being in a wheelchair. When Castiel arrives, Bobby orders him to heal him, but Castiel says he&#8217;s been cut off from Heaven. He....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seems like we have a lot of fans of the Winchester Brothers here on IoM, so for the fifth (and possibly final?) season of Supernatural, I thought we&#8217;d try something new &#8211; SUPERNATURAL SATURDAYS! We&#8217;ll talk about the newest episode (starting with this week&#8217;s season premiere, &#8220;Sympathy for the Devil&#8221;), and hopefully have plenty of talkback so you guys can tell us what you thought of the episode! Spoiler-filled discussion after the jump! So finally, we get a good season opener for Supernatural What I&#8217;ve found with the show is that I typically don&#8217;t like their season premieres, but usually enjoy the following episode.  For example, Season 2&#8242;s &#8220;In My Time of Dying&#8221; was a bore (the hospital episode), but it was followed by &#8220;Everybody Loves a Clown,&#8221; and, well, the title speaks for itself. Season 3&#8242;s &#8220;The Magnificent Seven&#8221; introduced the Seven Deadly Sins&#8230;and killed them in the same episode.  It was a damn good episode, but felt like wasted potential.  The follow up episode, however, &#8220;The Kids Are Alright,&#8221; featured one of the bloodiest death&#8217;s I&#8217;ve ever seen on television.  And the rest of the episode kicked ass too. Season 4 started with &#8220;Lazarus Rising,&#8221; which wasn&#8217;t horrible, but it wasn&#8217;t exactly as good as &#8220;Are you there, God?  It&#8217;s me, Dean Winchester.&#8221; This season starts off with a bang (quite literally) in &#8220;Sympathy for the Devil,&#8221; which I&#8217;d say may not be as good as Season 3&#8242;s opener, but is still pretty darn good.  The Devil gets....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It took me WAY too long to see Orphan.  Released a week before The Collector (check out my review of that one here), I made the mistake of seeing that God awful piece of crap instead of seeing this smart, beautifully-filmed suspense thriller (it&#8217;s hard for me to call this a horror film).  Orphan is an example of the varying range for Dark Castle Entertainment, which started as a company specifically to remake old William Castle films, Tales from the Crypt-style, and has actually moved past making &#8220;fun&#8221; horror films (I think the last one was House of Wax) and more into the thriller territory.  The last Dark Castle horror film, The Reaping, was so awful that I regretted watching every minute of it. Trailers for Orphan give the impression that it&#8217;s a 2009-edition of The Good Son, replacing Macauly Culkin with Isabelle Fuhrman.  A crazy kid who&#8217;s just born bad, and kills/beats up other kids.  Actually, the film ends up being much more than that and, even though it&#8217;s not supernatural (I&#8217;m not ruining anything &#8211; there&#8217;s not even a hint of the supernatural throughout the entire film), still manages to bring something new to the &#8220;scary kid&#8221; genre. Read the rest of my review after the jump! Kate Coleman (Vera Farmiga) is still reeling from the stillborn death of her third child.  Her love life with husband John (Peter Sarsgaard) is strained, at best.  Her kids are trying to forgive her for her past alcoholism, but things just....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At GenCon, I picked up the Zombies!!! board game, a game I first played at Fear the Con 2. Zombies!!! is a lot of fun because &#8211; well, zombies &#8211; and because it has characteristics of some of my favorite games. There&#8217;s the strategy and forward-thinking of chess.  Truly, you need to be considering not just where you want to be in the next turn or two, but also where the zombies will be.  Because each player has control of the zombie horde&#8217;s movement &#8211; at least a portion of it &#8211; you also have to be mindful of what your fellow players may do. There&#8217;s a huge element of player-screwing-player in the game.  Like Sorry! and zombie fiction and film, survivors will at some point turn on survivors. There&#8217;s a lot to like about the game.  For instance, the game board is built during game play.  At the beginning of each turn, the player draws a city map tile and places it as they like.  The layout of the game world while familiar from game-to-game is always different. The goal is to be the first to either kill 25 zombies or to make it to the helipad all the while, the board becomes more and more populated with the undead horde. One of the reasons I bought the game is that I thought my wife &#8211; who loves board games, but is not a &#8220;gamer&#8221; &#8211; would enjoy it. We tried it out last night with another couple. Ravenous....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hell to the yes! Looks like a director has been named for the upcoming sequel to 30 Days of Night, Dark Days. The original, directed by David Slade (who&#8217;s doing the next Twilight film&#8230;ugh), was an excellent adaptation of the Steve Niles graphic novel and one of my favorite movies of 2007.  Though I&#8217;ve never been able to get into the comic series because of the art, I&#8217;m extremely excited about the sequel to the movie. Looks like Melissa George, who played Stella in the original (and who&#8217;s character is the main protagonist of Dark Days), will not be returning.  Dark Days focuses on Stella &#8220;as she heads to Los Angeles after surviving the vampire attack in Barrow, Alaska. She intentionally attracts the attention of the local vampire population in order to avenge the death of her husband, Eben, during the Barrow incident.&#8221; That was a spoiler for the first movie, by the way.  Sorry about that.]]></description>

The best thing about both?  You can vote!  No more watching stupid lousy films that you skipped over win awards &#8211; you can vote for films that sure as hell aren&#8217;t going to win &#8220;Best Picture&#8221; at the Oscars &#8211; films like The Uninvited, Dead Snow, and Watchmen. So what are you waiting for?  Make your voices heard!  Vote for the Spike Awards here and the Reaper Awards here!  The Spike Awards premiere on Spike TV October 27th at 10pm.  The Reaper Awards will not be televised, but I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll be able to see them somewhere eventually.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bloody hell. Bloody f*ckin&#8217; hell. Halloween 3D, the third film in the franchise that has tried everything it can to kill my love for the franchise, is in development for release in 2010, according to the L.A. Times. I guess it&#8217;s primarily because The Final Destination actually beat Halloween II at the theaters this weekend &#8211; typically theaters with at least one 3-D screen earn 3.25 times as much as those that show the movie in 2-D only.  Sounds like Zombie won&#8217;t be returning for the threequel (thank goodness for small blessings) and the proposed director has a &#8220;different take&#8221; on the franchise.  Let&#8217;s hope it involves the film being scary.  And how the hell they&#8217;re going to follow up the ending of part II is going to be interesting.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Friday August 28th was the day many horror fans have been looking forward to for quite some time &#8211; the battle of two big titans in the horror arena &#8211; Michael Myers (The Shape) and Death itself!  Both Halloween II (from Dimension) and The Final Destination (from New Line) were scheduled to be released on the 28th, and neither one would give up their spot and move to another weekend.  What we had was probably (for us anyway) the most interesting battle of the summer &#8211; would Michael Myers win, despite the piss-poor reviews of the first film?  Or would people rather enjoy the 3-D of The Final Destination, even though, like Halloween, the last film was pretty poorly reviewed? Box office numbers are still being tallied, but how did the films measure up?  Was there a need for a fourth Final Destination, albeit with the addition of 3D?  Did Rob Zombie do a better job this time with Halloween II, since he didn&#8217;t have to specifically remake an already-iconic film? Well, truth of the matter&#8230;both films suck.  Though they manage both manage to have a couple of bright spots, ultimately neither film is worthy of a horror fans time, despite much gore.  Really, you&#8217;re better served staying home and watching the first films in both franchises.  Still, learn more about my thoughts after the jump! Returning the director of my favorite film in the franchise, The Final Destination brings back David R. Ellis from Final Destination II (and....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having seen the trailer for Universal&#8217;s upcoming The Wolfman film, I can say I&#8217;m sufficiently hyped.  Though you pretty much see the ENTIRE damn movie in the trailer, it sure does look pretty awesome.  I&#8217;m really disappointed that it was delayed from its original November release date to February 2010, but horror-type movies typically do better in February than they do in November, so maybe it was a smart move. Remember when Columbia Pictures did those kinda remakes of the classic Universal monsters, but kept them closer to the original books?  We had the masterpiece that was Bram Stoker&#8217;s Dracula, followed by the just-as-excellent (IMHO) Mary Shelley&#8217;s Frankenstein, and then they ended it with &#8230; that piece of sh*t that was Wolf.  I understand that The Wolfman isn&#8217;t based on a novel, per se, but still!  That movie was not only nothing like the original, it was crap!  Well, looks like we will finally get a good Wolfman movie.  I hope this does well, so we can finally see that Creature from the Black Lagoon flick they&#8217;ve been teasing us about for years. Check out the trailer for The Wolfman below (warning &#8230; may be blocked at work if your job sucks.  Just sayin&#8217;)!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really hope that Universal Studios Orlando will have this, as I probably (read definitely) won&#8217;t be able to attend the Halloween Horror Nights event in Hollywood.  Sounds like, in addition to the already announced haunted maze based on Saw, the &#8220;scarezone&#8221; based on Shaun of the Dead, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show musical show, Universal Studios Hollywood, as part of their Halloween Horror Nights, will also be featuring a haunted maze featuring my FAVORITE slasher, Michael Myers! The official press release: Universal Studios Hollywood’s “Halloween Horror Nights,” beginning a 16-night run on October 2, will present an all-new “live” attraction based on the classic horror/slasher film franchise, “Halloween” and the film series’ murderous antagonist, Michael Myers, per an agreement reached between the theme park and Compass International Pictures. “Halloween: The Life and Crimes of Michael Myers,” an interactive horror walk-through experience, will be the first attraction based upon the “Halloween” films to be created by a U.S. theme park. A replica of Michael Myers’ house will be constructed for the attraction and his most memorable atrocities will be brought to life. Larry Kurzweil, President and Chief Operating Officer, Universal Studios Hollywood, said: “The addition of the classic ‘Halloween’ film franchise to this year’s Halloween Horror Nights event underscores our intent to break new creative ground with outstanding horror icons and raise the intensity level of our Halloween experience. This year’s Halloween Horror Nights will be the most impactful live horror event ever to be presented in a theme....]]></description>

Every second of the trailer has someone famous in it, which is pretty cool &#8211; Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Doug Jones, Charles Dutton, and Lucas Black!  Yes, THAT Lucas Black.  He needs to say &#8220;no way buttwipe, this is mine!&#8221; in every film he&#8217;s in.  If you don&#8217;t get the reference&#8230;I&#8217;m not going to explain it to you! While I like the concept, I&#8217;m not entirely sold on the film, especially the old lady crawling over the wall scene&#8230;just seems a bit&#8230;silly? What do you guys think?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fan favorite zombie comic series The Walking Dead is on its way to series television.  According to Variety, cable channel AMC is inches away from sealing the deal with Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont to bring the show to its network. Holy crap! Y&#8217;know, I think this would make a great TV series. The Walking Dead tells the story of surviving the zombie apocalypse.  Like the best zombie stories, it&#8217;s not about the undead.  The story revolves around how people react when their lives are at risk and the niceties of civilation have crumbled around you.  When law and order fall away, who can you trust?  What do you value? Robert Kirkman&#8217;s The Walking Dead published by Image Comics is written in broad story arcs, well-suited to the hour-long format.  The characters are great, demonstrating evolution and change.  If the show&#8217;s creators stay true to the source material, this thing will rock. No word yet on when we might expect to see the pilot.]]></description>

Well now you can!  If you live near Orange County, California.  Sinister Pointe, the creators of last year&#8217;s Saw haunted house, have a maze this year based on the town of Silent Hill!  Hell to the yes!

If you&#8217;re anything like me, you are constantly plagued with unwelcome demons showing up at your front door.  I mean, WTF?!?  Can&#8217;t these sons-of-bitches call first?  And why do they always show up when Idol&#8217;s on? Thankfully, with one of these nifty Devils Trap Doormats inspired by Supernatural, you can restrain the rude visitors from hell and deal with them at your leisure. One of our favorite writers, Greg Rucka, guests on the Comics Related podcast.  Cool stuff.  Rucka&#8217;s good peeps! Just in case there&#8217;s not enough terror in your life, there&#8217;s instantTERROR! Ryan Reynolds, who played Dead Pool in this summer&#8217;s Wolverine: Origins, was also cast in the upcoming Green Lantern film.  Well, I wonder what those two characters  &#8211; a Marvel and a DC &#8211; have to say about that&#8230;? &#8230;And to top it all off, a love song to our dear, elder god&#8230;]]></description>

Anyway, I really enjoyed the third film in the franchise, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.  I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;d like to see another prequel to the series &#8211; I think I&#8217;d like to see the story move forward, rather than retreading material we already know about. What say you guys?  Ready for some more leather-clad Kate Beckinsale?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I hear the word Zombieland, I think of a theme park where adult and child alike can go, pay their parking and for tickets, and enter a world of fun and amusement where every step they take is a mad dash away from the undead, hot on their heels and hungry.  Who needs roller coasters when you can instead run for your very life and, perhaps, even lose it at the hands of a running zombie?  Or, instead, drive around the park while little Johnny hangs out the window with a baseball bat and takes swings at zombie noggins.  See, in Zombieland, there are no cotton candy stands or funnel cakes, just sweet, sweet&#8230;..brrrrrrraaaaaaiiiinnnssssss&#8230;. Alas, the movie Zombieland appears to not be about any of this.  Instead, Woody Harrelson and that kid from Adventureland battle zombies with Abigail Breslin and that chick from Superbad and they kill zombies in uproariously funny style.  It sounds like I&#8217;m being saracastic (I usually am), but Zombieland does look like a lot of fun and you can bet, when it comes out in October, I&#8217;ll be there to see it! Behold below the NSFW (seriously, it&#8217;s got naked zombies and, for some reason, a lot of car related injury and/or death) trailer for the flick. UPDATE (thanks to StingRay): When you first click PLAY, you&#8217;ll see three tiny little boxes in the window &#8211; it&#8217;s asking for your birth date to make sure you&#8217;re old enough to see zombie boobs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve talked at length before about my fascination with &#8220;dark&#8221; fairy tales.  I absolutely love it when a fantasy tale I was told as a child is reinterpreted and either brought back to its darker origins, or made even darker.  2008&#8242;s &#8220;Bloody Mary&#8221; theme at Universal Studios&#8217; Halloween Horror Nights even in Orlando was a perfect example of this &#8211; they had dark versions of many popular children&#8217;s stories, including The Wizard of Oz.  Zenescope&#8217;s Grimmy Fairy Tales does something similar, taking the original tales of many classic tales, like Cinderella, and turning them into dark, bloody tales. So I&#8217;m pretty damn excited to hear that someone as talented as Leonardo DiCaprio may have similar tastes, as it appears his production company Appian Way has begun development on a Little Red Riding Hood-based gothic movie, to be written by Orphan screenwriter David Leslie Johnson. From the Variety article, The best-known version of the story &#8212; in which a wolf disguises himself to fool a girl delivering food to her sick grandmother in the forest &#8212; was published in the 19th century by the Brothers Grimm. Earlier oral versions of the tale, which date back to the Middle Ages, are far darker and sometimes involve a werewolf rather than a wolf; the first published version, by Charles Perrault, concludes with Red Riding Hood eaten by the wolf, with no happy ending. I actually wrote a comic book mini series I entitled The Woodsman, that explored the Woodsman&#8217;s life years later after....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been trying for years to find a good scary movie with a scarecrow as the slasher.  What seems like such a perfectly easy concept is apparently not.   I&#8217;ve seen so many bad scarecrow movies &#8211; Scarecrow, Scarecrow Slayer, Scarecrow Gone Wild&#8230;was the last good scary movie with a scarecrow Dark Night of the Scarecrow, made 28 years ago FOR TV? Well, every time a new one comes out, I get a little hopeful.  Scarecrows are kind of like that abusive relationship &#8211; I keep coming back hoping they won&#8217;t beat me, but they never fail to.  Still, maybe there was a bright beacon of hope? Messengers 2: The Scarecrow was released on July 21 and, despite the fact that the first film had absolutely nothing to do with scarecrows, and wasn&#8217;t particularly any good, I was kind of wondering about a DTV sequel.  From what I&#8217;d read, the film was supposed to be a prequel to the original, telling the backstory of the John Corben character, a farmer who&#8217;s life took a turn for the worse on the farm that both films are set on. So&#8230;was it any good?  Did I finally get a scarecrow movie worth a damn?  And what the hell did the scarecrow have to do with a film who&#8217;s initial outting was all about Japanese-style scares set on a farm? Find out after the jump! In Messengers 2: The Scarecrow, Norman Reedus (Cigarette Burns) plays farmer John Rollins, a down-on-his-luck farmer who has used up....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a piece of sh*t. That&#8217;s the short, abbreviated version of my review for The Collector, the directorial debut of Feast I-III/Saw IV-VI writer Marcus Dunstan, who co-wrote this film with his scriptwriting collaborator Patrick Melton. I&#8217;ve read all over the net on how great this film is and how Dunstan is a fan made good and how he&#8217;s the &#8220;real deal.&#8221;  I have no dislike of Dunstan as a person &#8211; his and Melton&#8217;s Cinderella story (they won Ben Affleck and Matt Damon&#8217;s Project Greenlight) is truly something great, and I mean no harm or try to take anything away from them.  F east was an excellent time which, I felt, had nothing to do with their script and entirely to do with the director, John Gulager.  Turns out, after watching Feast 2 and 3, they&#8217;re all kind of lacking in the talent department. More harshness after the jump. SPOILERS ON, by the way&#8230; So, in The Collector, handyman guy Arkin (Josh Stewart) is working for a rich family and, unbenkownst to them, scoping out their house to later rob them.  See, his wife is on the hook with some loan sharks, and she has until midnight to pay.  After a hard day at work at this rich family&#8217;s house, he buys his daughter a teddy bear, visits with his wife, then comes back to steal the money in their safe.  Unfortunately, in the short time that he&#8217;s been gone, a serial killer has&#8230; added four more locks to....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know that rumors usually don&#8217;t pan out, but I think we were all hoping this would, despite as improbably as it sounded.  Well, according to Variety, Ridley Scott is attached to return as the director of the next Alien film, which will be a prequel: The film is set up to be a prequel to the groundbreaking 1979 film that Scott directed. It will precede that film, in which the crew of a commercial towing ship returning to Earth is awakened and sent to respond to a distress signal from a nearby planetoid. The crew discovers too late that the signal generated by an empty ship was meant to warn them. I&#8217;ve heard early rumblings about a potential space disc jockey storyline, or something to that effect.  While I&#8217;d prefer to see a sequel to the franchise, rather than a prequel (both AvP films were technically prequels), I&#8217;ll take what I can get!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I interviewed Full Moon Studios creator Charles Band back in April (read it here), he told me that, due to his goal of getting a movie out once a month for the rest of the year, that he probably would not be doing his awesome and popular FULL MOON HORROR ROADSHOW in 2009.  If you haven&#8217;t attended one of these events, you&#8217;re totally missing out.  Even if you&#8217;re not a fan, or don&#8217;t know much about Full Moon Studios movies (and seriously, who hasn&#8217;t at least seen Puppet Master or Pit and the Pendulum), there&#8217;s a ton to like here for anyone who just enjoys fun movies and horror films.  When I went to the Full Moon Roadshow in Charlotte last year, there was much talk of Evil Bongs and Poon-Tang tribes, naked women in cages, Monster bras, and Gary Busey.  We had a blast (and they serve liquor ). This year, Ideology of Madness (namely me) will definitely be attending the October 17th date in Richmond, VA (assuming that the dates on that calendar stick &#8211; you know things are subject to change), and man&#8230;we&#8217;ve got some great ideas for you guys!  We will definitely be giving away some tickets for the event and anyone attending the event in an Ideology of Madness t-shirt (didn&#8217;t know we had t-shirts?  Click here!) will get a free movie of their choosing !  How cool is that? For more Full Moon goodness, check out the videos below!  We&#8217;ve got some more....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That lovable dude Danny DeVito (I love that guy!) has recently started up a new project devoted to his love for our beloved horror genre &#8211; a website for short horror films &#8211; THE BLOOD FACTORY! Including a ton of great talent, and tons of bloody goodness (the site is definitely NSFW), this looks to be a dark, scary ride for fans of the genre.  In fact, here&#8217;s their manifesto: &#8220;At The Blood Factory, the predators are our heroes, and we love them because of their vile natures and evil ways. But our love doesn’t end there. We extend it to you, our fans: we vow to feed your ravenous addiction to horror movies with heaping plates of blood and guts, drizzled with adrenalin-pumped sweat from slaughtered human prey. And for dessert, we may even carve up a corpse or two. So, friends, welcome to The Blood Factory! Welcome to the killings! Curious? Sure you are! Check out more information on THE BLOOD FACTORY, and their first couple of films, at the official site and watch a video from Danny DeVito here!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Looks like Production Weekly is reporting that Paul W.S. Anderson, the director of the original Resident Evil, is on board to write and direct Resident Evil: Afterlife, which may give credence to rumors that this would be the last in the franchise.  The release date of the film is set for Sept. 17, 2010. This comes after recent news that not only is Anderson not on the big Castlevania movie anymore, but it&#8217;s looking to be directed by super-talented Dead Silence director James Wan.  More on that story here. Tell you the truth, I&#8217;m excited about both of these announcements!  The first Resident Evil movie is still my favorite of the three, and I love James Wan&#8217;s directing style &#8211; Dead Silence is one of the most visually interesting US horror films to come along in quite some time.  Plus, it&#8217;s got a special place in my heart because Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights did a haunted house based oin the movie back in 2007.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, the DTV horrorfest that was Ghost House Underground was a real treat for me.  Eight direct to DVD horror films, all pretty decent in quality, were released simultaneously by the Sam Raimi-backed company, including No Man&#8217;s Land: The Rise of Reeker, Room 205, and Brotherhood of Blood.  This year, GHU looks to only be releasing four films, but they&#8217;re stepping up their game by releasing 4 films that fans have been waiting for, and including a Blu-Ray release of all four films! The films are The Children (check out our review here); Offpsring, based on the Jack Ketchum book; The Thaw, an environmental horror film about a prehistoric parasite released because of global warming with Val Kilmer; and Seventh Moon from Blair Witch director Eduardo Sanchez, and starring Amy Smart. Check out the picture below of all four titles, which are now available for pre-order on Amazon at $13.99 each for the DVD&#8217;s, and $20.99 for the Blu-Ray versions.  Last year, though, Best Buy had a better deal than Amazon, so you may want to wait for that.  Look for them to hit store shelves October 6th, 2009!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before you think we&#8217;ve gotten into porno reviews here at IoM, let me be the first to tell you that Lesbian Vampire Killers is a horror/comedy in the vein of Shaun of the Dead, Fright Night, Idle Hands, and similar goretastic comedies.  With its premise incorporated into its title, Lesbian Vampire Killers joins this year&#8217;s Dead Snow as a double feature of horror/comedy that we get pretty rarely nowadays.  It&#8217;s not a parody, but a wholly new tale that pays homages to past vampire tales, without falling into the usual trappings, and without feeling like a retread. Check out the trailer below, and the rest of my review after the jump!  (warning: trailer is NSFW, but it&#8217;s probably blocked at work anyway because they have something against lesbian vampires) Jimmy (Mathew Horne) has just been dumped for the eighth time by on-again/off-again girlfriend Judy (Lucy Gaskell).  His buddy Fletch (James Corden) has been fired from his job as a birthday clown for punching a seven-year-old in the face.  After getting trashed at the local pub, they decide that what they need is a vacation, to get out of town for a bit for some R&#38;R.  As it turns out, they end up in Cagwich, an old town where, thousands of years ago, Carmilla the Vampire Queen cursed the residents of the town so that, on their eighteenth birthday, all the girls of the town would turn into lesbian vampires.  The resident vicar&#8217;s (Paul McGann) daughter (Emer Kenny) is due to....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know what makes me happy?  When a group of twenty/thirtysomething women go spelunking in an abandoned cavern, only to be met by cannibalistic creatures who start to pick them off, quite bloodily, one by one. No, I&#8217;m not a sicko (well, I kinda am) &#8211; I&#8217;m referring to one of the best horror films of the past decade, The Descent. Well, after quite a long wait, The Descent 2 (thankfully not called The De2cent) is finally getting a release date.  In the UK, anyway, where it&#8217;s set to be released October 9th, 2009, according to 24framespersecond.  No word on the US release date just yet, but I&#8217;m hoping for a release date close the UK one. Distraught, confused, and half-wild with fear, Sarah Carter emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where she encountered unspeakable terrors. Unable to plausibly explain to the authorities what happened &#8211; or why she&#8221;s covered in her friends&#8221; blood &#8211; Sarah is forced back to the subterranean depths to help locate her five missing companions. As the rescue party drives deeper into uncharted caverns, nightmarish visions of the recent past begin to haunt Sarah and she starts to realize the full horror and futility of the mission. Subjected to the suspicion and mistrust of the group and confronted once more by the inbred, feral and savagely ruthless Crawlers, Sarah must draw on all her inner reserves of strength and courage in a desperate final struggle for deliverance and redemption. The Descent: Part 2 &#8211;....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since Eli Roth announced that he was no longer helming the film adaptation of Stephen King&#8217;s Cell, I kind of lost interest in it.  After all, the book itself, about how a virus transmitted via cell phone turns everyone into 28 Weeks Later-type zombies, just didn&#8217;t connect with me.  By the time it was released, it felt unoriginal, as if someone had taken one of the many recent zombie movies, and just thrown Stephen King-esque characters into it. Unfortunately, the news just doesn&#8217;t appear to get better for this adaptation as, according to Fangoria, Cell will now premiere as a four-hour miniseries.  I&#8217;m guessing that the violence/language/sex quotient of the tale will depend on whichever station picks up the rights to air the show (my bet is either on ABC or SyFy).  John Harrison, responsible for the new Books of Blood movie based on Clive Barker&#8217;s book, is scripting the Cell adaptation, and makes special note of how well the opening chapters of the book will make for a great first thirty minutes.  Now to concentrate on the other 3 1/2 hours, and we&#8217;re set!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reading this month&#8217;s issue of Rue Morgue, I came across an article about an upcoming book entitled October Shadows: A Celebration of Halloween in Art.  Apparently, each Fall, there&#8217;s an art show exhibiting art that pays homage to the traditions of Halloween &#8211; the stuff that reminded us of Halloween as kids, like pumpkins, witches, vampires, etc. In recent years, we have taken Halloween and made it more adult.  Movies are getting darker and scarier, Halloween events are getting gorier and less fun.  But, ultimately, what made us love Halloween in the first place is just how fun it was, and the imagery present in the art show (see some pics at the official site) are reminiscent of the fun side of Halloween.  A little creepy, but a lot of fun.  And the iconography of the Jack-o-Lantern?  Better than that stupid other holiday with the jolly red fat man! This fall, October Shadows: A Celebration of Halloween in Art will be making its debut in art book form, so you have a nice little centerpiece for your coffee table.  The book features art from Rick Baker, William Stout, Dan Bereton, Gris Grimly, Michael Dougherty&#8230;the list goes on and on, but do you really need any other excuse?  Pre-orders begin on July 15th! Check out the official site for more info!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Click on the image below for my full review! Made in 2007, Dead Wood tells the story of four friends taking a trip to the woods, hoping to get out of the city for a weekend for a peaceful, relaxing weekend.  After hitting a deer and getting attacked by bees, instead of going home, they decide to stay the night, waking up to find a mysterious girl sitting by their campfire, looking for her boyfriend. One by one, they&#8217;re hunted down by something, but what? Dead Wood was made for what is almost literally, NO budget, by three directors (David Bryant, Sebastian Smith, and Richard Stiles), and really, it succeeds where most other low budget fair fails &#8211; it actually manages to be scary.  Not over the top scary, mind you.  The lack of a budget does lead to some issues with acting, and the camera image isn&#8217;t exactly high-def quality, but it&#8217;s a worthy effort on the part of all involved. The film does take a while to get off the ground, establishing the characters before the story gets going.  It&#8217;s very deliberately paced, trying to infuse a mystery while keeping things suspenseful.  While I appreciate the ambiguity of leaving certain things unsaid, I think that the story could have used a bit more touching up.  You have to suspend belief WAY too much &#8211; if each of my friends starts disappearing while hanging out with a mysterious girl, I&#8217;m apt not to still hang with her.  Maybe it&#8217;s....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: SuperheroHype! So says original Blade movie director Stephen Norrington and actor Stephen Dorff, who played villain Deacon Frost in the original movie that introduced Wesley Snipes as the titular vampire hunter.  Apparently, the prequel trilogy would star Dorff once more, and focus on Deacon Frost, potentially leading up to the events of the original Blade film. Apparently Dorff came up with the idea (shocker).  The last film Norrington directed was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. If it were April, I&#8217;d swear this news was an April Fool&#8217;s joke.  Another Blade film, and not a reboot?  How the hell is thing going to work?  I can&#8217;t lie &#8230; I&#8217;d much rather see another Blade film starring the cast from the excellent TV series.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had high hopes for Blood: The Last Vampire.  Though I thought the original anime upon which this new live-action film is based is actually a bit overrated, I enjoyed the premise.  The storyline, set in an American Air Base located in post-WWII Japan, has a hundreds of years old vampire hunting girl named Saya, who hunts hematophagous bat-like creatures called chiropterans for a secret organization known as the Red Shield.  The movie changes things a little bit &#8211; &#8220;The Red Shield&#8221; is now &#8220;The Council,&#8221; and Saya is given a sidekick &#8211; a human named Alice who gets pulled into the war with the vampires. Directed by Chris Nahon (Kiss of the Dragon with Jet Li), the live action film stars relative newcomer Gianna Jun as Saya, Allison Miller as her friend Alice, and even Colin Salmon (Resident Evil) makes an appearance as Powell the gym teacher. So how did the film turn out?  Check out my full review after the jump! Due to be released in selected theaters this Friday (see the listing of theaters at the official site), Blood: The Last Vampire has a lot to live up to.  The original anime movie and follow up series, Blood+, have a very dedicated following. The film has some great ideas, but ultimately manages to do just about everything wrong.  I know that sounds harsh, but how do you mess up a film about a japanese schoolgirl killing vampires?  Well, make Blood: The Last Vampire, I guess. I&#8217;ll start....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Megan Fox may not be the best actress in the world, but there&#8217;s no denying that she&#8217;s probably the hottest thing in Hollywood right now.  Everywhere you look, you see Megan Fox&#8217;s big blue eyes on some magazine cover, or some billboard, or on the poster above my bed, Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street-style. A loooooonnnngggg time ago, we linked to some NSFW pics of Miss Fox in her newest movie, Jennifer&#8217;s Body, featuring a script from Juno&#8217;s Diablo Cody.  In it, Fox plays Jennifer (duh), a high school cheerleader who gets possessed by a demon and starts munching on guys.  I&#8217;m impressed by the cast &#8211; I didn&#8217;t realize this flick also had Amanda Seyfried, Adam Brody, J.K. Simmons, Kyle Gallner, and the man himself, Lance Henriksen, who most certainly should be doing a Millenium movie instead. According to Cody and producer Jason Reitman, this is the trailer they prefer, as opposed to the green band trailer being released with Bruno this Friday.  The red band trailer below (from the awesome guys at ShockTillYouDrop) has some suggested nudity, some violence, and some profanity&#8230;so don&#8217;t play at work (assuming those bastards at work haven&#8217;t already blocked the video!).  I think the trailer still gives away waaaaayyyy too much, but that&#8217;s kind of par for the course with trailers lately, isn&#8217;t it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matt&#8217;s Update: Greg Stechman, who is now co-producer and development executive on the film, seems to have been correct in saying to IoM previously that the movie will film by the end of the year.  Stechman says they are closing in picking a director for the new installment in the successful Resident Evil film franchise.  Despite what is written in the original article, &#8220;Afterlife&#8221; will not be the title.  Hopefully Stechman will have the sense to include Jensen Ackles in this movie. According to Shock Till You Drop, we&#8217;ll be getting a new Resident Evil flick, this one titled Afterlife (wasn&#8217;t that the original title for either part two or three) on September 17, 2010. That&#8217;s really not a very far out date, and the Resident Evil flicks are typically pretty special effects intensive.  My hope is that they would bring back Russel Mulcahy.  His Resident Evil: Extinction proved that the man still has directing chops, despite the fact that the film didn&#8217;t quite feel like Resident Evil.  Still, the games haven&#8217;t for a while either. Keep an eye here for more Resident Evil news as soon as we hear it!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wish I had a direct line with Robert Rodriguez.  I&#8217;d call him at all hours of the day and night, asking him about his newest projects, and begging him to make me some Sin City Breakfast Tacos (buy the special edition DVD if you don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m talking about).  Of course, that may be why I don&#8217;t have a direct line to him.  That, and he doesn&#8217;t know who I am. Anywho, Harry Knowles does have a direct line to Rodriguez, which I&#8217;d imagine is like the Batphone, only shaped like a mariachi guitar.  Given all the hubbub surrounding the rumors that Nimrod Antal would be directing the next film in the Predator franchise, Predators, he thought he would get the low down straight from the source. As it turns 0ut, yes, Nimrod Antal, of Vacancy and the upcoming Armored, is directing Predators.  Sounds like they&#8217;re still going with Rodriguez&#8217;s original take on the screenplay,though: it still involves a very intense group of people stranded on a Predator planet discovering unspeakable horrors (that are not always from outside their group). So like the original movie, the title does have a double meaning. Which helps explain the rumored Ah-nuld cameo in the movie.  Perhaps he&#8217;s been fighting on the planet this whole time? Read the full interview with Robert Rodriguez here!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, the guys who used to be Freddy and Jason.  As excited as I am for FearNet&#8217;s upcoming FEAR CLINIC web series with Robert Englund and Kane Hodder, can&#8217;t help but think I would be pretty excited seeing Jackie Earle Haley and Derek Mears starring together in something. Anywho, back to what&#8217;s actually happening.  Those awesome dudes at FearNet (don&#8217;t know about FearNet, click here to check out FREE FOOKIN&#8217; HORROR MOVIES!) are premiering, in October on both their website and VOD networks, FEAR CLINIC, starring Englund and Hodder in a story about Dr. Andover, who is a crazy doctor obsessed with curing phobias.  The poor victim of his wicked experimentation?  None other than the adorable Danielle Harris, who keeps calling me and asking me to meet her for dinner.  And by that I mean her lawyers call me and tell me to stay at least 100 yards away from her.  Same difference.  Actually, now that I think about it, I think Danielle did have problems with stalkers a couple of years ago, so that&#8217;s not as funny as I want it to be.  Sorry Danielle (call me)! Directed by Robert Hall (Laid to Rest) with effects from Almost Human (Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles and Laid to Rest), sounds like we might have a pretty interesting project on our hands!  FearNet&#8217;s previous web series, a prequel and semi-sequel to 30 Days of Night, pretty much kicked @$$.  Let&#8217;s hope this one follows suit. Keep an eye out for FEAR CLINIC....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems like a week doesn&#8217;t go by where I&#8217;m not talking about a remake.  I&#8217;m too bummed about the idea to write about the remake/reboot of An American Werewolf in London, so instead I&#8217;ll focus on a remake of a film I&#8217;ve actually NOT seen!  I know&#8230;shocker. Guy Pearce (Memento) and Bailee Madison (Bridge to Terabithia) are joining Katie Holes in the upcoming remake of Don&#8217;t Be Afraid of the Dark, which is set to be directed by Troy Nixey (the superb Latchkey&#8217;s Lament) and produced by Guillermo Del Toro and Mark Johnson. The original Don&#8217;t Be Afraid of the Dark was an early 1970&#8242;s made for TV flick about a girl who moves in with her father and his girlfriend and finds out that there are demons living with them. Pearce plays the dad, Holmes plays the girlfriend, and the young girl is played by Madison. I&#8217;m definitely interested to see what Nixey can do visually with this film.  If you haven&#8217;t seen Latchkey&#8217;s Lament (check out more info here), you &#8216;re missing out on an excellent short film that shows that Nixey is definitely from the same school of filmmaking that Del Toro does.  Plus, I&#8217;m a big fan of Guy Pearce, and I think it&#8217;s about damn time he&#8217;s been in a big Hollywood production &#8211; jeez, when was the last time he was in a Hollywood picture?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, we already know how much I love Universal Studios Orlando&#8217;s Halloween Horror Nights event every October.  However, I&#8217;d be lying if I didn&#8217;t also admit that, a mere hour and a half away in Tampa, Fl, lies another Halloween event just as good.  Busch Gardens Tampa&#8217;s Howl-O-Scream may not have the kind of big budget houses you see at Universal Studios, but damn if they don&#8217;t give it their all in innovation and scareactors.  Howl-O-Scream&#8216;s houses are all very elaborate and, most importantly, long.  I love it when a haunted house takes more than a minute or two get through, and Howl-O-Scream&#8217;s houses are all very lengthy, which adds to the overall effect of being trapped in a nightmare world.  Sure, they don&#8217;t usually have the licensed characters, but I think that helps them to be more original.  2007&#8242;s Death Jockey and 2008&#8242;s Raven Twins were not only great creations, they were creepy. This year&#8217;s event looks to be pretty interesting.  A preview video at the official site shows a woman walking out into an audience, before they begin their bloodcurdling screams.  What&#8217;s the theme this year?  Still too early to tell.  Still, Behind the Thrills has some information.  Sounds like the icon will be a model of some sort, who&#8217;ll walk the runway at the front of the park.  The Plastic Surgery House, an original house for this year, will be the main house (the one fault I have on Howl-O-Scream is that, at least last year, most....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t lie, despite liking the actor chosen to the Devil in season five of Supernatural, I&#8217;m a little disappointed.  See, according to EW.com, Mark Pellegrino (from Lost and Dexter) will be playing Lucifer when Supernatural comes back on September 10, 2009.  Again, I like Pellegrino &#8211; he played a great sleaze on Dexter, and I have no idea who he played on Lost.  But my disappointment comes in that, given how Supernatural seemed to try and do things a little different from the norm, and the way season five ended, I was actually expecting the Devil to be a big monster, something truly epic.  Instead, it seems like we&#8217;ll get the more common sleazy-guy kind of Devil.  Couldn&#8217;t we have gotten something more akin to Tim Curry in Legend?  Maybe that&#8217;s asking for too much, given budgetary constraints.  Still, it&#8217;s Supernatural, so I&#8217;ve got faith. Besides, shouldn&#8217;t they just Ray Wise?  He played the Devil so well in Reaper.  I smell a crossover! What Would Jared Padalecki Do?]]></description>

DAYBREAKERS is due out January 8, 2010!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Richard Kelly, director of Donnie Darko (which was great) and Southland Tales (which was not), is finally releasing his newest movie, THE BOX. Based (loosely) on the short story &#8220;Mirror, Mirror,&#8221; by Richard Matheson, which was also a Twilight Zone episode, in THE BOX, Norma and Arthur Lewis are a suburban couple with a young child who receive an anonymous gift bearing fatal and irrevocable consequences. A simple wooden box, it promises to deliver its owner $1 million with the press of a button. However, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world&#8230;someone they don&#8217;t know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the crosshairs of a startling moral dilemma and face the true nature of their humanity. Check out the trailer after the jump! The Box is due out in theaters October 30th!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Holy crap! All this time, I&#8217;ve been making fun of how disgustingly stupid Jaws: The Revenge was when, in reality, it was all true!  Released back in 1987, the titular shark stalks Ellen Brody and her family to the Bahamas, Cape Fear-style. Well, apparently, shark researchers have determined that great white sharks stalk their victims, like a serial killer. They were focused. They stalked from a usual base of operations, 100 yards from their victims. It was close enough to see their prey, but not close enough to be seen and scare off their victims. They attacked when the lights were low. They liked their victims young and alone. They tried to attack when no other sharks were around to compete. They learned from previous kills. And they attacked from below, unseen. Unmentioned in the article is just how much of a stalker the shark really is.  Apparently, sharks are known to follow their victims home with their headlights off, then wait in the bushes until the victim gets in the shower before crawling through the window and masterbating on their bed pillows.   Er&#8230;so I&#8217;ve heard&#8230;cough cough&#8230;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Latino Review, Nimród Antal may be the final contender to take on the director&#8217;s role for the upcoming Robert Rodriguez PREDATORS project.  With his upcoming flick Armored due out this September (and with a helluva cast &#8211; Laurence Fishburne, Matt Dillon, Jean Reno, Amaury Nolasco, and Milo Ventimiglia), and looking mighty good, seems like this rumor may have a bit of truth to it.  Antal&#8217;s last film was the thriller well-received Vacancy, with Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson, which was much better than it had any right being (despite a crappy ending). I&#8217;m a little bummed that another one of the contenders, Neil Marhsall, doesn&#8217;t seem to have been chosen for the project.  I just recently watched Marshall&#8217;s Dog Soldiers again (this time on Blu-Ray!), and he has really grown as a filmmaker &#8211; after Dog Soldiers, he moved on to the excellent The Descent, and then the kick @$$ Doomsday.  Maybe, if they don&#8217;t get Ridley Scott to do that Alien prequel they keep talking about, Marshall might be a pretty good choice for that one!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I tell ya&#8230;sometimes, they really do get it better overseas than we do here.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I loves me some good ol&#8217; US of A, but when it comes to horror, you can&#8217;t really beat some of the great stuff being released in England, or in Spain, or Korea.  Case in point?  Imago Mortis, from Italian director Stefano Bessoni.  Released already in Italy with an upcoming release in Spain, there&#8217;s still no US release date set, sadly.  Starring Geraldine Chaplin, Imago Mortis tells a pretty gruesome tale: They say that in the 1600s, long before the invention of photography, a scientist named Girolamo Fumagalli was obsessed with the idea of reproducing images. He discovered that by killing a victim and removing the victim&#8217;s eyeballs, it was possible to reproduce on paper the last image imprinted on that person&#8217;s retinas. He named this technique &#8216;thanatography&#8217;. Today, the same kind of gruesome ritual and abominable crime recurs within the walls of an international school of cinema. How can that premise not be cool?  Especially when paired with this excellent trailer, and the poster above (courtesy of Aullidos)? Keep an eye on IoM for more US release information (or a review if I can get my hands on an import disc) as soon as we can get it to you!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Update: The story was originally published on Apr 7, 2009.  DEAD SNOW is now available on IN DEMAND stations nationwide and in limited release theatrically.  Check out a listing of theaters at the official IFC site! Who would have thought that Norway would be a place where we&#8217;d find good horror?  Cold Prey 1 and 2, Rovdyr, the upcoming SKJULT (Hidden), and now Dead Snow.  Coming this June from IFC Films in limited theatrical release and VOD, Dead Snow is a Norwegian horror comedy that really packs on as much humor as it does gore. Though not quite as good as Cold Prey (which it will undoubtedly be compared to, even though the two films are nothing alike), Dead Snow is really more like watching Norway&#8217;s version of Cabin Fever, if you threw in Nazi Zombies. Check out my full review after the jump. In Dead Snow, a group of medical students meet up for an Easter vacation in the mountains to basically party up at a cabin for a long weekend.  They do the usual &#8211; tubing through the snow, drinking beer, having sex in the outhouse (yeah, it&#8217;s as gross as it sounds)&#8230;then an old guy comes upon the cabin while hiking through the snow.  After insulting their coffee, exposition guy then proceeds to tell them about the history of these mountains &#8211; how back in WWII, Colonel Herzog and a band of Nazis were cruel to the residents and the residents banded together, chasing them into the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The trailer for Zombieland was released today and, man, this flick looks REALLY good!  It cracks me up that Jesse Eisenberg from Adventureland is now in a film called Zombieland.  I&#8217;m thinking his next film should be called Pirateland, or, even better, Ninjaland.  What&#8217;s Zombieland about? Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn’t have fears. If he did, he’d kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they’re about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other. Check out the trailer below, or in high definition here!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230;according to his Twitter account (and a Shock Till You Drop interview), Rob Zombie&#8217;s upcoming Halloween 2 had an original cut that was a bladder busting FOUR HOURS LONG.  Recent cuts have gotten the film down to just under two hours.  Which begs the question&#8230;how do you cut TWO HOURS out a movie and still have it make sense?  What the hell is on the cutting room floor that you can still have a two hour long movie that cohesively tells a story?  Was that extra two hours that unneccessary?  Did it involve Frodo and his friends bouncing up and down on the bed cheering?  Or a lot of &#8220;epic walking?&#8221; Guess we&#8217;ll find out on the eventual DVD/Blu-Ray. Four hours.  Damn.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know, sometimes you just can&#8217;t make this stuff up.  Courtesy of those awesome guys at Dread Central, we now know that Ti West, the very talented director of The Roost and Cabin Fever 2 (still unreleased), has just been tapped to direct the direct the follow up to The Haunting in Connecticut (check our review here), aptly titled The Haunting in Georgia (though I was hoping for Another Haunting in Connecticut).  Filming should start this September in Canada, actually, so they&#8217;re not wasting any time in getting this one moving. &#8220;The film is based on the true story. Once moved into their modest home situated on what was once an Old South plantation, a young couple grows concerned when their daughter begins encountering mysterious strangers that no one else can see. Their fear is heightened when they themselves become witness to terrifying phenomena in and around the house, giving clues to unlock a chilling mystery that has remained a closely-guarded secret for generations.&#8221;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t get him in the light. Don&#8217;t bathe him. Don&#8217;t feed him after midnight. Seriously?  Who the hell would buy a pet that you couldn&#8217;t bathe? It&#8217;s hard to revisit a film that I loved so much as a kid and review it as an adult.  I had three stipulations when trying to choose a film to watch tonight - It had to involve a masked guy killing beautiful teens. It had to be Rated R, or Unrated in a way that wasn&#8217;t too sadistic (wasn&#8217;t in the mood for torture porn). It had to be no longer than an hour and forty minutes. Of course, I walked by the DVD case for Gremlins in Paulbuster Video and the decision was made for me.  I haven&#8217;t seen Gremlins in years.  The second film I remember being vastly different from the original, which was directed by Joe Dante and I remembered being a perfect example of one of those &#8220;horror family films&#8221; that they just don&#8217;t make anymore.  They try &#8211; you get things like Monster HouseThe Monster Squad, Goonies, Beetlejuice, Poltergeist, Ghostbusters, Critters that wish they were as good.  But compare them to movies like &#8230;I mean, the list goes on and on.  There have been more recent films in the same &#8220;flavor,&#8221; like The Frighteners, but none that are really family friendly (man&#8230;love The Frighteners). It&#8217;s amazing how times were different back then.  You could have the cutest character in a film where people die on Christmas, and it....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Courtesy of Shock Till You Drop, we&#8217;ve got some pretty sweet Platinum Dunes news! Platinum Dunes, the main guys to go to for good horror remakes, recently talked about a follow up to their Friday the 13th remake. Written by the same guys who wrote the remake (Mark Swift and Damion Shannon), there isn&#8217;t a complete script yet (technically there&#8217;s not even a green light on it yet), but there&#8217;s a tentative release date set of August 13, 2010.  According to Fuller, &#8220;If we&#8217;re going to do another Friday the 13th we want to present something audiences haven&#8217;t seen before and one of the things they haven&#8217;t seen before is Jason in the snow. We just want to bring things they haven&#8217;t seen before,&#8221; although that does not mean, &#8220;the [entire] movie will not be set in the snow.&#8221;  Though, honestly, I&#8217;d be okay with an entire snowbound Jason movie. When talking to Fuller, it was palpable that he wants to see improvements made the next time out. &#8220;If we were vulnerable in Friday the 13th, I think our vulnerability is people think our kills were not clever enough,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So whatever we need to do to make our kills feel clever in our second film is what we&#8217;re going to do. I think turning [Jason] into a space-going astronaut is the direction we&#8217;re going to go in. But that&#8217;s a criticism goes to my heart. I feel I failed the fans in that those kills were not original....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love stories like this.  Shot for a budget of $10,000 and shot in Orange County, NY, Kids Get Dead is a new independent horror film that&#8217;s not only an homage to slashers like Friday the 13th, but also to shows like USA Up All Night, and the experience of recording old movies on VHS and using the same tape over and over.  In fact, according to writer/director/producer Michael Hall, &#8220;it appears that the movie was ‘taped over’ some of my own home movies,” he continues, “complete with VHS static, fake commercials and vignettes with our own horror hostess, Candy Adams [Goodspeed]. It’s kind of like a GRINDHOUSE for the cable/VCR generation.”&#8221; (Fangoria) Kids Get Dead is definitely low budget, but looks like a lot of fun!  I&#8217;ll be ordering a copy soon, so keep your eyes here for a full review!  Meanwhile, check out the official site for more!  And order the film for yourself at Film Baby!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Click the below image for the full review! I  was pretty excited about Plague Town.  I had read about the movie in a recent article of Fangoria and was intrigued how, despite a limited budget and resources, it seemed as if it was shaping up to be a pretty good looking, creepy film.  I was able to pick up a Blu-Ray of the film relatively cheaply (cheaper than the DVD edition even) on Amazon, and I was ready and gearing to go. Really, I shouldn&#8217;t buy into hype. That&#8217;s not to say that Plague Town is a bad film.  It&#8217;s just not a very good one.  It never seems to actually overcome it&#8217;s limitations and I couldn&#8217;t help but feel that, throughout the entire film, in the hands of a more skilled director with a little bit more dough, Plague Town could have been something special. In Plague Town, a family trying to trace their Irish roots gets lost in the Irish countryside, and end up being stalked by a group of bloodthirsty kids and their messed up parents.  While I will say that, given the generic nature of the storyline, the film didn&#8217;t feel generic, it just never really felt fully fleshed out either.  I never really felt like I was seeing a &#8220;plague town,&#8221; and I know that was primarily budget limitations.  There were kids running around in the woods, but no real town.  There was a house or two strewn about in the countryside, but it just....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those awesome, awesome dudes at Fangoria have even more Trick R Treat news for us today!  Looks like the DVD will be out just in time for Halloween, with &#8220;a standard-edition DVD which will pretty much just have the movie, and then the Blu-ray disc will have all the special features, ’cause that’s the way things are moving these days. There will be a documentary, the animated short film, SEASON’S GREETINGS, that kind of inspired the feature, deleted scenes, outtakes, all sorts of fun. And there will be a few different audio commentaries that are still in the works; I don’t know exactly who’ll be on them yet, but definitely me and hopefully some of the cast,&#8221; according to writer/director Michael Dougherty, who totally needs to hold a screening in Virginia &#8211; you guys would buy tickets, right? Dougherty goes on to say that his next film is an animated project that &#8220;involves big monsters.&#8221;  Let&#8217;s pray it&#8217;s better than the cinematic equivalent of a wire hanger abortion that was Monsters vs. Aliens.  I kid &#8230; it wasn&#8217;t that bad. Anyway&#8230;check out the original animated short Season&#8217;s Greetings that inspired the movie Trick R Treat below!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, it was almost most meant to be, according to this article at HissTank.  Before Channing Tatum was cast as Duke in Stephen Sommers upcoming G.I. Joe (read our script review&#8230;oh wait, you can&#8217;t!  Darn Paramount.), Jared Padalecki was considered for the role.  Thankfully, he turned it down for Supernatural, because he knew that G.I. Joe was probably going to suck.  Kidding&#8230;it was totally because of Supernatural commitments. The source, an artcle at the Sunday Mercury website, is actually a recap of a recent Winchester Bros. appearance at a sold-out Supernatural Convention in Birmingham, where Padelecki and co-star Jensen Ackles go on to talk once again about the potential for a sixth season of Supernatural, and the fact that Padalecki hopes they die at the end.  Of course, everyone hopes to die at the end of the story &#8211; Edward James Olmos hoped the same for Battlestar Galactica, and even Daniel Radcliffe, prior to the release of the seventh Harry Potter book, was hoping for Harry to bite it.  So&#8230;don&#8217;t hold your breath for a sad ending. What Would Jared Padalecki Do?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I know&#8230;typing things in all CAPS is annoying.  But when the prize is winning something as sweetly awesome as a SIGNED COPY OF NOX ARCANA&#8217;S UPCOMING ALBUM BLACKTHORN ASYLUM, sometimes all CAPS is warranted! If you haven&#8217;t checked out our interview with Nox Arcana, your life is sadly incomplete.  Complete yourself here!  Then come back and enter to win a signed copy of the album that Joseph Vargo says is &#8220;ominous, creepy and unnerving with brief moments of haunting respite to ease the mounting tension and dread.&#8221;  How the hell can you not want that?  A little more about the story of Blackthorn Asylum: We set Blackthorn Asylum in the 1930s and revisit the dark domain of H.P. Lovecraft. The plot builds upon Lovecraft’s short story “From Beyond” and adds some creepy new twists. Blackthorn is a sanitarium for the criminally insane that is run by a doctor who conducts horrible experiments on his patients in an attempt to extract the physical essence of evil. No one knows what happened, but for some reason the place was shut down and abandoned, and is now believed to be haunted by the tormented souls of the dead. There are also dark rumors that something unnatural was unleashed by the doctor’s diabolical experimentation, and whispers tell of a dark force that dwells in the shadows of the forsaken asylum. How do you win the awesomeness?  Walk on coals?  Stick needles in your eyes?  None of the above, my dear friends!  All you....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: Hollywood Reporter/Fangoria Horror westerns are hard to do.  And by that, I mean that while the idea is great, I&#8217;ve yet to see a movie that did a good job with the idea.  Still, with the talent behind the upcoming movie Priest, I have a feeling we may finally be in for a good one.  &#8221; PRIEST is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires and follows a warrior priest (Bettany) who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.&#8221; Signed to play the titular character is Paul Bettany of The Davinci Code and A Beautiful Mind.  Also attached to the movie is Twilight&#8216;s Cam Gigandet (who was also in the underrated Never Back Down), as a &#8220;young wasteland sheriff who is part vampire. He partners with Bettany to save the girl he loves, the niece. That latter part has yet to be cast.&#8221; Priest is adapted from the storyline of a very interesting looking manhwa of the same name, with a script by Cory Goodman (The Brood) and directed by Scott Stewart (the upcoming Legion).  It&#8217;s due for release in August 2010. Learn more about the original series here!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Click the image below for our full review! I can honestly say that I&#8217;m sure why a film as good as Sam&#8217;s Lake sat on a shelf somewhere for four years before finally being released.  Filmed in 2005, but released on DVD in April of this year, Sam&#8217;s Lake may not be a perfect film, but it&#8217;s a pretty damn good one, and definintely better than the typical DTV fare. Sam (Fay Masterson) and a group of her friends (including Sadrine Holt, from Resident Evil: Apocalypse) take a retreat to the lakeside cottage she grew up in.  They meet up with Sam&#8217;s childhood friend Jesse, and at a bonfire they decide to start telling ghost stories.  It isn&#8217;t long before Sam reveals the story of  nearby cabin &#8211; apparently, a young boy was committed, but came back to murder his family, before disappearing and never being heard from again.  Typical ghost story, right?  Well, this one isn&#8217;t an urban legend.  And apprently, this story might be about to repeat itself&#8230; Sam&#8217;s Lake isn&#8217;t for the horror fans looking for a quick and easy horror flick.  It&#8217;s not necessarily the most thought-provoking film or anything like that, but it does take a while to get going.  In fact, the length it takes to get moving might be a bit too long, as you&#8217;re sure to figure out the film&#8217;s integral plot twist before it comes out.  If you don&#8217;t, it&#8217;s a great one.  If you do, it still leads to a....]]></description>

Fresh from the just-finished TRICK &#8216;R TREAT panel at FANGORIA&#8217;s East Coast Weekend of Horrors (currently in-progress), our own Sam Zimmerman just phoned in an update on the film straight from filmmaker Michael Dougherty (X2, SUPERMAN RETURNS) and star Dylan Baker (FIDO, SPIDER-MAN 3).

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that everywhere a horror fan such as myself looks, there&#8217;s a new story about Sam Raimi&#8217;s return to horror, Drag Me To Hell.  Not just critics, but horror fans alike are touting its greatness.  It&#8217;s been called one of the best horror films of ALL TIME, already! I finally got a chance to see the movie this weekend.  Is it the amazing horror film that fans have been waiting years for?  Check out my full review by clicking the graphic below! In Drag Me to Hell, Christine (Alison Lohman), a loan officer, is trying to get an important promotion at her bank.  She&#8217;s put in a pretty tight spot when her boss tells her that a boss needs to be able to make &#8220;tough decisions.&#8221;  Not long after, an elderly gypsy woman comes in, needing an extension on her loan.  To impress her boss and get the promotion, Christine refuses the extension, and the gypsy woman curses her &#8211; in three days, she&#8217;ll be, quite literally, dragged to hell. I wouldn&#8217;t say I hated Drag Me To Hell, but I think it&#8217;s way overrated.  Everyone is saying this is one of the best horror films they&#8217;ve ever seen, and certainly one of the best they&#8217;ve seen in years.  I just&#8230;don&#8217;t see it.  In fact, I&#8217;d say that Drag Me To Hell is downright stupid. Sure, it&#8217;s been said in many interviews that Raimi&#8217;s intention was to make a &#8220;stupid horror film.&#8221;  And I&#8217;d say, in response, mission accomplished. ....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, Final Destination 4 (which is being released in the awesomesauce of Digital 3D) is now going under the moniker, THE FINAL DESTINATION.  Which I take to mean that this is the final one in the series.  Which makes me sad because I&#8217;m sure it will have nothing to do with the rest, nor will it really have a satisfying resolution to the mythology of the series, if such a thing is even possible.  Still, it has a surprisingly violent trailer, and it looks like there&#8217;s going to be a lot of 3D blood flying at us August 28.  And some 2D blood, since this comes out the same day as Rob Zombie&#8217;s H2.  Check out the trailer below!

Ju-on: Kuroi Shojo, written and directed by Mari Asato, stars Ai Kago as a nurse named Yuko who cares for a young girl who has a strange cyst inside her body. The cyst turns out to be the leftover grudge of an unborn baby and begins to spread to the people around them, driving them mad.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love Eli Roth.  I love Eli Roth like I love lucha libre wrestling.  Even though he&#8217;s only done three movies, they sure are damn good (I&#8217;m sure someone will disagree!).  Cabin Fever totally caught me off guard, and I loved every minute of it&#8217;s craziness.  Hostel is a definitive moment in modern horror. Hostel II&#8230;not so much.  I loved the hell out of it, but being released in the middle of the summer season, and a DVD-quality leak showing up on line weeks earlier, led to a really poor box office performance.  Since then, other than a mock trailer for Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez&#8217;s Grindhouse, Roth has been relatively quiet.  Sounds like he&#8217;s coming back in a big way though, with a major acting role in this summer&#8217;s Inglorious Basterds, and a slew up upcoming films under his production company, Arcade.  The most interesting of these projects?  One called Cotton&#8230; COTTON concerns a troubled priest, disillusioned by years of defrauding poor believers. Roth elaborates: “Cotton Marcus is a preacher who’s been doing fake exorcisms all his life, and decided to make a documentary about himself to expose what he does to clear his conscience. He wants to come clean, show all the tricks of his trade and talk about why people need exorcisms—the psychological benefits—even though they’re faked. His dad did it before him and at 40 years old, he’s starting to feel guilty about cheating people out of money. ‘Yes, I’m a fraud, I did it for....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Supernatural series creator Eric Kripke has said since the beginning of the best show on television that he has always planned Supernatural to be a five-season series.  It was written with that in mind, and that&#8217;s why certain things introduced in the very first episodes are just now paying off with the way season four ended (I&#8217;ll try not to ruin it for those still catching up).  So, with the impending season five starting up, we&#8217;re all set to strap ourselves in for the finale of the tale of the brothers Winchester, right? Well&#8230;maybe not so much. I have heard the CW wants Supernatural to go on, but Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Eric Kripke want to leave after this season. And with Lucifer rising, it seems the show is near its end. Can you shed any light on things? &#8211; Morgan MATT: Yes, CW boss Dawn Ostroff has indicated that she may &#8220;override&#8221; Kripke&#8217;s longtime plan to end Supernatural after five seasons. And while the series&#8217; creator isn&#8217;t signed on beyond this season, its two leads are. In fact, Padalecki just told io9, &#8220;My best guess is that Supernatural will go beyond Season 5&#8243; -possibly sans Kripke. Inconceivable, you say? Smallville minus original bosses Al Gough and Miles Millar, I say. Many shows continue on after the creator leaves, and I&#8217;m sure fans will be in an uproar about the very thought of this.  I, myself, am not really happy at the idea of continuing the series after the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is old news at this point, as pretty much everyone has heard about the upcoming Alien movie.  Originally announced as a &#8220;reboot,&#8221; it&#8217;s now been revealed that the movie is a prequel (another word for &#8220;reboot that doesn&#8217;t negate what came before&#8221;).  It&#8217;s still too early to tell if this will also respect the continuity established by the Alien vs. Predator movies, but it does appear that Fox is intending to revitalize both franchises separate from each other, which I&#8217;m thankful for.  Remember when we were dying for an AvP movie, and now we stay up late at nights praying that they won&#8217;t make another one. According to this interview with Collider, Tony Scott has confirmed that the movie will be directed by commercial director Carl Rinsch, and it&#8217;s a prequel to the original, which begs the question of how sequels will be done.  Will we have a series of prequels?  Will we eventually see these lead into a remake, or will be see storylines that occur simultaneously to the events in the original films.  While the inclusion of Ridley and Tony Scott as producers helps others think that this might not be a totally bad idea, I&#8217;m not sure that either one&#8217;s film output for the last ten years really warrants that level of faith. Still, I&#8217;m happy to see a new Alien film, and with Robert Rodriguez&#8217; Predators on the horizon also, it might finally be a good time to be a fan again!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It wouldn&#8217;t be fair of me to tell you about a super great film like End of the Line (check our review and interview with the movie&#8217;s director) and then not provide you a super cool opportunity to check it out for yourself, would it?  Well, we&#8217;ve got something even cooler than just winning a copy of the movie&#8230;how about winning a copy of the movie SIGNED BY DIRECTOR/WRITER MAURICE DEVEREAUX? How cool is that?!?! How do you win this slice of awesome pie?  Super simple!  Just send an email with your name and address to paulkaponte@gmail.com.  The winner will be chosen next Thursday, June 4th!   Trust me, this movie is totally worth it and there&#8217;s no easier way to get it than this! DVD will be the Region 1 US edition, so unless you have a region-free DVD player, contest is open to US residents only, 18 years of age and older. Good luck!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the day, one of my favorite games was Pacesetter&#8217;s Chill: Adventures Into the Unknown. Originally published in 1984, it was a horror game very much in the vein of the Universal monster movies&#8230; Dracula, the Mummy, werewolves, and the Frankenstein monster.  I loved this game.  My players did, too. The Vampires supplement was awesome. We played modern era games as well those set in the Nineteenth Century.  They tromped across the Scottish Moors hunting the undead and battled lycanthropes in the streets of Dallas.  Crazy fun. I had heard some time ago that a  group had bought the rights to the game and were revamping it.  Other Worlds Creations has the property and is currently raising money to fund the release: OWC is proud to announce the Fundable fundraising effort for Chill 3rd Edition! The link below has all of the information about this fundraiser. If you&#8217;ve got any questions not covered there, please post to one of the lists or email me privately at hyrum@otherworlds.cx . We hope you&#8217;ll participate so we can finally get the game out. We&#8217;ve been working on this for years and, inspired by the fine folks at Pagan Publishing and Arc Dream Publishing, we&#8217;re hoping that this fundraiser will tell us if there&#8217;s still enough interest in the game to finish it and then print a limited edition full color hardcopy edition of the game. Curious, this fund raising effort is. On the Fundable site the folks at OWC state: We&#8217;re using....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you read my review of End of the Line here, you&#8217;d know that I absolutely loved the movie, saying it was (to quote myself) one of the &#8220;absolute best DTV movies I’ve ever seen,&#8221; and I stand by that.  End of the Line is intense, scary, violent and, most of all, really, REALLY damn good. I was given a chance to sit down with director Maurice Devereaux lately and we talked about the film, what went into making it, and some of the craziness that awaits you when you catch this film!  Warning, there are definitely spoilers in this interview! I loved End of the Line and found it a truly unique horror film.  What can you tell us about the thought process that went into crafting the story?  Why did you choose to use religious fanatics as your antagonists? Thank you for the kind comments and interest in my film. End of the line is a combination of my reaction to 9/11 and my life long mistrust of religious leaders. For me there’s something particularly scary about religious fanatics, regardless of their beliefs. Because unlike typical “villains”, who would want money or something and that, deep down, they know they are doing something bad (and can feel guilt or even empathy), fanatics, in their minds, are “heroes” in their own minds, they are doing what’s right under “God’s will”, so it is near impossible to reason with them. Could you imagine trying to “reason” with the 9/11 hijackers....]]></description>
