Last Week in Horror, September 28th to October 5th

Last Week in Horror we finally started to see some marketing material for studio backed films and I couldn’t be more saddened?  Why?  Well, of the four studio clips, three are for remakes and the other is a PG-13 teen shocker that I’m going to guess will most heavily be advertised on MTV and MySpace.
Oh [...]

Last Week in Horror, September 21st to the 28th

Last Week in Horror I realized that the studio horror future is looking grim.  No, not talking quality, talking quantity.  I haven’t come across a new, full trailer for a theatrical studio picture in weeks now.  I’m sure that will change in October as, THE WOLFMAN, FRIDAY THE 13TH, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, and, well, a [...]

Last Week in Horror: September 14th to the 21st

Last Week in Horror found no shortage of minor announcements, but enough of which excite me in earnest.  In the world of TV, Goyer and “TREK” vet Braga sell an intriguing hour long series premise to ABC, HBO renews the proven cool “TRUE BLOOD” and Sci-Fi orders full the unproven “WAREHOUSE 13″.
A few pieces of [...]

Last Week in Horror, September 7th to the 14th.

Last Week in Horror was predisposed to minor updates of news already established.  Survival horror game CLOCK TOWER is still looking to roll, this time with a PROM NIGHTer climbing the stairs.  Danny Boyle mentions a 28 X LATER again.  Minds behind the remake of MY BLOODY VALENTINE have already begun the mulling of a [...]

Last Week in Horror, August 31st to September 7th

Last Two Weeks in Horror I was paying no attention to what was going on, but I’m back home now.  I’m running on a scant few hours of sleep and an internal clock set ahead 7 hours from its current location of Eastern Standard Time, so the below is just a cursory check-up on some [...]

Last Week in Horror, August 17th to the 24th

Last Week in Horror, TRICK ‘R TREAT got teased around a bit more.  Turns out you can see it in theaters, for free even, but one day only.  After that, enjoy waiting for the unannounced DVD.  Of utmost importance, though: We may finally see MONSTER BLOOD, SAY CHEESE AND DIE, or, dare we hope, IT [...]

Last Week in Horror, August 10th to the 17th

Last Week in Horror, folk got all in a huff over talks that CANDYMAN was not only being remade, but that the titular ghost of a murdered slave would be as white as the slave-drivers what killed ‘em.  Just talks, folks, just talks.  Though, I suppose that is how it always starts.
Magnet Releasing announced a [...]

Last Week in Horror, August 3rd to the 10th

Last Week in Horror was rather slender in the news department.  MTV hosts a trailer for THE HAUNTING OF MOLLY HARTLET, which hits theaters this Halloween, sure to fall away soon after.  Warner Brothers does some further flip flopping on Michael Dougherty’s debut film, one I’ve been wanting to see for a while now.
Some SUSPIRIA [...]

Last Week in Horror, July 27th to August 3rd

Last Week in Horror was some kind of post-ComicCon orgy of news.  Either this was all left over from the con and took a week to rise to the top or PR folk knew their news wasn’t big enough to rock a convention and thus waited a week.  Whatever the case, I feel like this [...]

Last Week in Horror, July 20th to 27th

Last Week in Horror was a helluva week.  Not that anything too chest pounding happened, but it was privy to the San Diego Comic-Con, which of course means that the web was inflamed with lice like news tidbits.  But you know what?  In all the huff,  the only thing that really jazzed me was Aronofsky [...]

Last Week in Horror: July 13th to the 20th

Last Week in Horror we got our first look at the new Jason.  Several new announcements for novel adaptations.  I suppose enough people enjoyed it that Romero is quickly back to work on a sequel to DIARY, I sure wasn’t clammoring for one.  Other than that, not much major news breaks or insights to current [...]

Last Week in Horror: June 6th to the 13th

Last Week in Horror was the slowest week of the year.  Very little happenings and what was worth mentioning is vague on the details.  Joss Whedon teams back up with Drew Goddard for a ‘cabin in the woods’ genre flick called, well, CABIN IN THE WOODS.  Other than that, no real news to speak of.  [...]

Last Week in Horror: June 29th to July 6th

Last Week in Horror, The items of most interest to me belong to genre brother Sci-Fi.  Alex Proyas’ latest film, KNOWING, finally got a trailer, albeit a derivative, uninvolved one.  But I love DARK CITY so much, even Nicholas Cage’s forehead couldn’t keep me away.  Same goes for Keanu Reeves’, well, entire self in THE [...]

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 [...]

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: 3/23 – 3/30

Another week of non-major news.  WORLD WAR Z gets a whole heap of critical internet buzz.  Sam Raimi’s return to horror, not so much.  Radha Mitchell, who a lot of people hated in SILENT HILL, but I’m a fan of, joins a kick ass sounding robot flick.
Not a whole lot else, unless you’ve been [...]

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: [...]

Last Week in Horror: 3/2 – 3/9

A slow week for horror news.  SUSPIRIA gets an unexpected director for its remake.  ROSEMARY’S BABY will be buried within the Dunes.  All Animals vs All Humans for Columbia Pictures.  And a ton of Indie trailers, including a movie starring Robert Englund and Jenna Jameson.  You’ll never guess which one it is in the list [...]

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 [...]

This was just a plain boring week in posters.  I like the vibe of the Girl Next Door poster, which is an adaptation of a Jack Ketchum novel.  Past that, though, there really isn’t anything going on.  The Lake Dead poster in the compilation above is cool, but who knows about the actual movie.
