Horror's Not Dead

"The end is near. I hear a noise at the door, as of some immense slippery body lumbering against it. It shall not find me. God, that hand! The window! The window!"

    That site for The Return still says November, and according to the IMDb message boards, it’s moved to January elsewhere, but not in the States.

    Who knows? Perhaps it’ll grow better with age and everyone else will get to see something infinitely more tolerable than the trailer promises.

    I haven’t clicked on it, but “Poltergay” is the greatest title ever.

    Also, they already remade Near Dark, it was called The Devil’s Rejects and it didn’t have vampires.

    i have a rhetorical question to ask about Day of the Dead, but can’t voice it without spoiling something.

    although… from the trailer and clips i’ve seen… this thing spoiled during pre-production.

    why, steve miner? why?

    Eh, you can’t really spoil anything that’s over a decade old, plus if you’re reading a site like this and haven’t seen Day of the Dead, you either don’t care enough to have a spoiler matter or you deserve to be spoiled.

    involving a certain character named Captain Rhodes.
