Horror's Not Dead

TREEVENGE Online! TREEVENGE Online! TREEVENGE Online!

The kind gentlemen at Twitch have once again gifted the Internet with something it doesn’t deserve.  For the sake of convenience I’ve embedded the brilliant arbor horror short film TREEVENGE below, because that’s just how Twitch rolls, but do please click on over to show some appreciation to the champs who share such gems.  It’ll be the best 16 minutes of your day, I guarantee it.

Last Week in Horror News: January 4th to the 11th

Theatrical Trailers and Clips

• THE UNBORN – Clip
• THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT – Trailer

• THE THAW – Trailer

Studio News and Attachments

• People are incredibly, incredibly, incredibly stupid.  As in, complete fucking morons for believing that not only is GHOSTBUSTERS 3 secretly filming, but that they built a giant walking pile of trash.  Takes no genius to instantly peg this as viral marketing for the GB game.
• Kerr Smith makes no attempt to hide MY BLOODY VALENTINE’S open-ended ending, sequel inevitable.
• Josh Brolin keeps talking JONAH HEX, praises new director Jimmy Hayward, mainly because he isn’t those ‘CRANK guys’.
• Kate Beckinsale is in the new UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS after all…as archival footage.
• PERKIN’S 14 director Craig Singer has another user-generated horror movie set up at Warner Brothers.
• In case there was a doubt, HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT is rated PG-13.
• Joss Whedon doesn’t seem to care what Tom Cruise has to say about his CABIN IN THE WOODS movie.

Remakes

• There is an official site for LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT up.  Does anyone ever actually go to these sites?
• Not horror, but because I admire both director’s involved, Danny Boyle has been approached for a SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE remake.
• FRIGHT NIGHT remake gets locked up in favor of doing a HELL NIGHT remake.  Still no one cares.

Indie, Foreign and Random News

• The short film TREEVENGE has a fantastic clip out.  Since this was a slow week for Indie horror, its awesomeness toplines this section.
• Haven’t listened to it yet myself, but AICN recommends this POLTERGEIST podcast.
