Last Week in Horror: June 22nd to the 29th

Last Week in Horror, the most interesting thing I came across was, against all conceptions, the first official poster for SAW V.  I think it is a magnificent poster and, for the first time in a long time, exhibits the staying power of horror icons.  Though the lack of nipples in it is quite weird […]

Last Week in Horror: June 15th to the 22nd

Last Week in Horror the only important thing that occured was the untimely passing of Stan Winston.  I recommend all fans head over and read Ain’t it Cool’s tribute to the man, which features write-ins from the artists’ friends, who range from James Cameron to Greg Nicotero to Alan Scott to Rick Baker to Fred […]

Stan Winston: 1946 - 2008

There are few icons themselves responsible for creating as many icons as Stan Winston did in his 62 short years. The extent of his gift to cinema is unquantifiable.
Tonight I’ll honor my favorite works of his, I hope others will as well.
Reported by AICN.

Last Week in Horror, June 8th to the 15th

Last Week in Horror, there was a ton of FRIDAY THE 13th remake tidbits.  Pictures of the Camp Crystal Lake sign, pictures of the hockey mask, talk of fan winks and mention that both the sack and the mask get play.  There is a teaser for Alexandre Aja’s remake of MIRRORS.  It is short and […]

Last Week in Horror: June 1st to June 8th

Last Week in Horror was all about attachments.  Brittany Murphy and Thora Birch join a “psychological thrilller”, which means the press release gave away the ending.  Remember Zack Snyder’s epic zombie project, the one promising to be the largest undead film of all time, ARMY OF THE DEAD?  Well, it now has a director.
And now […]

Last Week in Horror: May 25th to June 1st

Last Week in Horror, tragedy struck two of the genre’s more interesting studios.  Universal had a massive fire and Tartan US went out of business (but Tartan UK etc are still in business).  No real knockout announcements or trailers though.  And, to be honest I’m ridiculously tired right now, so I’m going to stop typing.

Last Week in Horror: May 18th to the 25th, 2008

Last Week in Horror, not a whole lot worth while happened. Some release dates got firmed up, some remake rights purchased and that’s about it. So instead of an intro-cap, this is all you get.
Oh, and Austin gets my seal of approval as being a great place, ya know, in case the argument […]

Last Week in Horror: May 11th to the 18th

Last Week in Horror we got a horn of plenty in the news department - and not just because set photos from JENNIFER’S BODY leaked. First off, not one, but two sentences in this post start with the words David Lynch. As if that wasn’t enough, one of those sentences contains the words […]

Last Week in Horror: 4/4 - 4/11

Last Week in Horror gamers the world over could breathe a sigh of relief, Gore Verbinski is directing BIOSHOCK from a John Logan script. Had you polled me a week ago on who I would want to tackle the 360 genre bender, I’d of come up empty handed, but this has all the airs […]

Last Week in Horror: 4/27 - 5/04

Last Week in horror seemed quite busy, though not a whole lot happened in the studio realm. Lots of little news to pepper the place, ranging from no longer relevant ‘rappers’ headlining what I can only assume to be an amazing movie called THE PIG PEOPLE to Hammer Films, of all joints, picking up […]

Last Week in Horror: 4/20 : 4/27

Last Week in Horror was either all remakes or all horror sequels [most redundant typo ever?]. IT’S ALIVE, HELL NIGHT, FRIDAY THE 13TH, THE FURY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME all had tidbits tidbitting about. However, I am quite sure the biggest news of the week was Eli Roth announcing his [temporary] withdrawal from […]

Last Week in Horror: 4/13 - 4/20

Last Week was a standard seven days for genre news. No breaking headlines, no juicy bits of intrigue. So instead of the normal pre-jump sum, I would like to express how many smiles I got out of an exchange in the latest Apatovian flick FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL in which 3 others dissect the […]

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

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 […]

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 […]

Last Week In Horror: 3/16 - 3/23

An odd barrel of news this week.  Of most interest to my person is the release date for Alexandre Aja’s next.  Then we’ve got Regal Cinemas bringing back red band trailers to all of its theaters.   Benecio gets some official Wolfey snaps.  And in my news travels I came across this, a poster that may […]

Last Week in Horror: 03/09 - 03/16

Last Week Sam Raimi went back to producing television.  A Verhoeven classic was on the receiving end of some rumors, while Charlize Theron sexied up a LADY VENGEANCE remake.  LOST BOYS 2 got a trailer, but who cares, because I think the real footage everyone has been waiting for is finally here:
THE GINGERDEAD MAN 2: […]

Is John Carpenter Out of “Fear Itself”?

An official press release has hit the webs with a list of directors, actors, writers and plot descriptions for NBCs forthcoming "MASTERS OF HORROR" redux, "FEAR ITSELF":  The lineup is pretty much what has been known for weeks, but most curiously is the absence of John Carpenter.  Carpenter would have been teaming up with AICN’ers […]

Last Week in Horror: 2/24 - 3/2

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 […]

After Dark Horrorfest Delays Frontier(s), Announces Final Lineup

I hope After Dark films keeps their Horrorfest going for years to come.  I may not agree with their corporate behavior, but I have profound respect for what they’ve done for the genre and for fans for two years running.  Anchor Bay and others may give the odd film a very minor theatrical release, but […]

The Last Christmas is a graphic novel created by Gerry Duggan & Brian Posehn about how Santa reacts to a zombie apocalypse.  From my review:

You Should be Watching “Reaper”.

"Reaper", the pilot of which aired earlier this week, was directed by Kevin Smith, of all people.  If you haven’t seen it yet, you really, really should.  The most apt comparison would be to call it a TV show channeling the spirit of Idle Hands.
It doesn’t have any of the gore or killer hand-ness of […]

Doppleganger Sighting: World’s Ugliest Dog / Brundle Fly

The article from whence the picture of the World’s Ugliest Dog was lifted claims the dog, Elwood, is, "often referred to as "Yoda", or "ET." for his resemblance to those famous science fiction characters".
This leads me to believe not enough people have seen the greatest horror film ever made.  If that masterpiece on the right […]
