Last Week in Horror: 3/30 – 4/6

Weak week for news.  Quite a few theatrical trailers, so that is a plus.  The HELLRAISER remake gets all shook up.  WB puts TRICK ‘R TREAT up on the auction block.  ’80s horror hotties are tapped for a project, as gimmicky as it is, that sounds cheesy awesome.  The two biggest news items of the week or the ones lacking hard details: Pegg and Wright combo it up again while the long awaited DARK CITY director’s cut gets a little closer.
