Horror's Not Dead

"I promise to rip the smooth, white skin off American literature and expose the spreading tumor of spineless suburban mediocre fiction that is eating the weak, atrophied muscle of art and then to clean the wound I made with the chewing maggots of my words."

Last Week in Horror: 04/6 - 04/13

April 13th 2008 @ 9:50 am

Last week one of my most anticipated horror properties, the wonderful HACK/SLASH, finally got a writer, albeit an unproven. Sam Rami and Rob Tapert pulled a Dimension Extreme/After Dark Films and created release arm Ghost House Underground. FRIDAY THE 13TH cast some machete fodder. Oh, and, PROM NIGHT made over $9 million dollars on its opening day. That sound you hear? Blood boiling in the collective vein of horror fans everywhere.

And deserving a mention all its own on the front page. Uwe Boll has another video up (!!!!!), this time signing off with the pleasantry,

“If you write me, don’t write me with some, like, bullshit nicknames out of the internet. Write me with your name and address so I can track you down and rip you apart. Thank you.”

Be still my quivering heart. Be still!

    from what I understand, Fox’s hair will be covering her goodies in the topless scenes.

    goddamn tease.

    I’m more surprised that they are making a live-action Street Fighter movie…again…that isn’t about the ’star’ of the series…again…

    Yes, this is a horror forum not gaming/nerd, but it’s not like the first one is known for anything but failure. At least bad movies (ala Prom Night) are profitable (sometimes).

    And I’m guessing that the Troll remake is of the first? (No, I’m not gonna say the Nilbog comment was out of place, that would be a douche thing to do)

    Yeah, it looks like Troll 1 is being remade, not 2, but I still stand by Nilbog.

    And Yes, that STREET FIGHTER movie is doomed. Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li? Lame. At least they didn’t go with Jessica Biel, as was originally rumored.

    isn’t there also a Mortal Kombat remake script floating around out there somewhere with some actual push behind it?

    i, for one, CANNOT FUCKING WAIT for the Troll remake. especially considering Buechler himself is doing it.

    as for the Hack/Slash writer. that shit is bogus.

    Yeah, I’ve read those MK grumblings as well. I know Moriarty of AICN wrote some supposedly terrible, terrible, terrible script for it years ago. I’m more interested in F’in Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe!!
