Last week the house that Freddy Krueger built fell to the business wayside.  Ellen Page must have received a talking to from Halle Berry and Hilary Swank and subsequently broke Sam Raimi’s heart.  Stephen King started making a musical.  A Christian themed horror screenplay was a disaster on eBay.  A very nice looking Swede vampire film got a US chaperon.  One of the best horror films of ‘07 got a speedy retail date.  And, of course, the trailer for STARSHIP TROOPERS 3 is live at 6, All Net, All Channels. 

Do you have what it takes to be a citizen?
