Shooting has begun in South Africa with Dennis Iliadis directing. Wes Craven, Sean Cunningham and Marianne Maddalena are producing. Click the image below to see several more "test" shots on Shock Till You Drop's website!
We had posted a news story about this several months ago, but now thankfully Paramount Home Entertainment has finally confirmed it! The hit series DEXTER: SEASON TWO will be released on DVD on August 19th, 2008, just in time for the premiere of SEASON THREE on Showtime. We've also heard that recent Icons interviewee KEITH GORDON will be directing the first episode of SEASON THREE. Gordon helmed several episodes of DEXTER previously, so his return doesn't come as a surprise. You can read our FRIGHT exclusive interview with KEITH GORDON (where we spoke extensively about his work on DEXTER) by clicking HERE or on the frame below. No DVD cover image or special features announced yet for the boxed set, but it's definitely coming on August 19th. We'll keep you posted on more when we hear it!
Things were so hectic at this past weekend's LA FANGO show, that sadly I missed Clive Barker's panel. However, SHOCK caught it, and the big scoop of the panel was the announcement of the next BOOKS OF BLOOD adaptation making it's way to the big screen. Anthony DiBlasi is writing and directing DREAD based on Barker's short story. The flick is currently casting and looking to shoot by June. Barker's Seraphim Films is producing DREAD. According to SHOCK, "Eclipse adapted Barker's story for the comic book medium in the '90s with writer Steve Niles and artist Dan Brereton." As for the synopsis? "In the story, Quaid, a student of philosophy, is obsessed by his own nightmare of an ax-murdering clown so he concocts a series of experiments to observe firsthand how other people react to the things that most horrify them. But while Quaid slowly unpeels the psyches of his imprisoned and tortured captives like a reeking onion, his own dread waits, just beyond his control." With MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN right around the corner, and DiBlasi at the helm for this new flick, count us excited for DREAD!
SHOCK's Ryan Rotten caught up with Michael Felsher (who's produced the supplemental material on several horror DVD releases) at this past weekend's LA FANGO show. Felsher is currently working with MGM to bring us a new and improved DVD edition of Stan Winston's directorial debut PUMPKINHEAD. Felsher told SHOCK that he's hard at work on new interviews with PUMPKINHEAD actors Lance Henriksen and Brian Bremer (who plays Bunt), as well as Tom Woodruff (who played PUMPKINHEAD) and Alec Gillis over at Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (both protégés of Stan Winston). The DVD release is still a ways off from a set date, but it's definitely coming and we'll keep you posted on when!
At this past weekend's LA FANGO show, the Anchor Bay Entertainment table debuted quite a cool little item. For display was the new MASTERS OF HORROR SEASON TWO boxed set, which will feature all 13 episodes of the Showtime series. (And include all of the existing discs special features.) While last year's set came in the amazing mausoleum box (I still stare at it on my counter), the new boxed set will house all 13 episodes inside a human skull! Of course, I didn't have my camera handy at the con, but thankfully Ryan Rotten over at Shock Till You Drop did! So below is one of his pics of the new boxed set. Click on the photo or HERE for another look! (Thanks Ryan!)
At last weekend's LA FANGORIA WEEKEND OF HORRORS show, actor Tony Todd (most famous to genre fans as CANDYMAN) confirmed that he's not returning as Mr. William Bludworth (aka "Death") in FINAL DESTINATION 4. (Which is currently lensing.) Todd's character appeared in both the first and second FINAL DESTINATION films, and he made a cameo appearance, ala a voiceover in the 3rd, but it looks like we won't get to see Todd in this new 3D outing. The new film brings back the team behind FINAL DESTINATION 2, including director David Ellis. (SNAKE ON A PLANE) No word on the release date yet but we'll keep you posted!

Director Tim Sullivan got back in touch with us to let us know the great effort that all the fans have put forth to help get retired actor Robert "COUNT YORGA" Quarry back on his feet after an encounter with an lecherous fan. Read inside to get the good word from the Sullivan, the horror director with so much heart he's probably got 3 more in the fridge.

Yesterday I paid a visit to Robert Quarry to deliver all the goodies you guys have sent for his new Crypt. It was an amazing day, made even more so by the presence of none other than Hucklebilly himself, Ryan Fleming, and my tremendously kind and talented colleague, Joe Moe (producer and co-writer of RED VELVET which wowed everybody this past weekend at the Fango con). Joe wrote an amazing update to TEAM QUARRY this morning, so I figured I would “hand the microphone over” and let him take it from here. Bleeding Love………. Tim
Hey, gang!
A spectacular Sunday at Bob's! I left the RED VELVET booth at the Fangoria Con early to meet Tim Sullivan and Ryan Fleming (who plays Hucklebilly in Tim’s 2001 MANIACS) at the Motion Picture Home. When I got there at 3PM , the guys had already stacked heaps of presents all over the room. Tim had taken the time to wrap each and every gift that wasn't already wrapped. It literally looked like Christmas in April with all the dozens and dozens of boxes big and small(many of which were CDs and DVDs from the movie studios and other loving and generous individuals).
Bob was ecstatic to see all the stuff. Tim had gone beyond the call of duty and put a copy of every single e-mail note he'd received from all of Bob’s fans and contributors into bright, colorful envelopes which he attached to each present. In addition to printing out these emails, Tim somehow found photos on My Space of everyone who wrote them so that Bob could associate the gift giver with the gift. (He also compiled a separate bound booklet of all these letters to remind Bob just how loved he is.)
Bob opened letters and cards and was baffled whenever money fell out - as it often did. Some of the notes were read aloud and I got choked up hearing them on more than one occasion. Ryan passed each gift to Bob and Tim acted thrilled and surprised every time one was opened (even though he'd wrapped all of them)
My job was assembling items that needed to be constructed (a gorgeous sofa, an entertainment center,CD/DVD tower). I had brand new 8X10 photos printed and Bob really loved them! I was touched when he took one with him to dinner to show it off. I knew then that he really did approve and would be happy to sign them and send them out as THANK YOU’s to everyone kind enough to contribute. Bob was so excited and energetic, but eventually his legs began to hurt, so for the rest of our visit we made him lie down and tell us where to put items and how to arrange things.
We straightened up and arranged furniture as best we could on this one visit, promising to return and bring more and do more later in the week. We left at around 8PM feeling very accomplished and proud of everyone in our amazing community of caring folk. I took pictures of the event which Tim uploaded to his site.

As much as Bob has received, because he is literally starting from scratch, there are still several very crucial items that he requires. The registries are still up, so continue to give to the Count! We’ve all moved houses. It’s the most stressful time for anyone. And a vulnerable time for dear Bob. This outpouring of love really sustains him. I know we’ll have that little room looking like a palace in no time, thanks to all f you!

Per Bob’s direct request, he asked that his home address NOT be given out, and that all fan mail correspondence be sent to the following address:
ROBERT QUARRY C/O NEW REBELLION ENTERTAINMENT
1366 _ RIVIERA AVENUE
VENICE, CA 90291
Once Bob is rested, we plan to have him sign one of his new photos for each and every one of you who has contributed even a penny. He WILL get back to everyone.Tim and I will take this task upon ourselves and at our own expense to express our personal gratitude for your support and trust in this effort to keep Bob healthy and happy. We feel so lucky to be part of a family that takes such good care of their own.
Meanwhile, anyone who would like to purchase a photo signed by Bob should simply make out a check for $22.50 (postage included) to ROBERT QUARRY, and mail it to the above address as well. All proceeds naturally go directly to Bob.
Finally, get out the word that Bob has directed Tim to be his official spokesperson for the immediate future. That simply means that, if anyone is making claims or proclamations on behalf of Bob, we can all turn to Tim and know that he is will give you the real word or set the record straight per Bob’s implicit instruction.
Mahalo (thanks) to all of you for your Kokua (help). Aloha (big sloppy kiss, 1960’s style)! I only wish you could have been their to experience, first hand, the incredible impact you’ve had on Robert Quarry’s life. Joe Moe 
Several weeks back, we heard about a unique new movie that will have genre vets Danielle Harris (HALLOWEEN 4), Heather Langenkamp (NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) and Ellie Cornell (HALLOWEEN 4) each directing a segment of an anthology film called PRANK. Producer Anthony Masi recently posted the following teaser posters (featuring all 3 directors) on his My Space page. Check them both out below! We know for sure that Danielle Harris's segment stars JC Brandy (HALLOWEEN's other Jamie Lloyd), Kathleen Kinmont, Coby McLaughlin, Dana Daurey, Edward Bell, Abby Dalton and Jennifer Blanc. We'll keep you posted when we hear (and see) more!
We've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Bruce Campbell's latest directorial flick MY NAME IS BRUCE since we first heard about it! Now, dozens of images from the Dark Horse Pictures production have made their debut on Campbell's official website. MY NAME IS BRUCE is about a small town in South Oregon that summon Bruce Campbell to fight off demons, not realizing that he's just an actor and not the Deadite-slaying Ash character he plays in THE EVIL DEAD movies. Presumably, he shows up and hilarity ensues! Check out a ton of pictures below! Well keep you posted when we hear the official release date!
The front cover image for the upcoming expanded DARK CITY: DIRECTOR'S CUT DVD has been posted on DVD Active's website! The highly underrated sci-fi cult-classic, directed by Alex Proyas (THE CROW) hits DVD stands on July 29th, 2008. A Blu-Ray disc is set for that date as well. DARK CITY stars Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly, and William Hurt. (This one's still among my all time faves.) Check out the images below!
Like it or not, the Platinum Dunes remake of FRIDAY THE 13TH is coming fast! Recently, it was announced that Nana Visitor, who played Major Kira on STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE will be the new Pamela Voorhees. At the recent Starfest show in Denver, she told fans that a cast of her head has already been made for the film. For those of you whom has seen the original FRIDAY THE 13TH, (yes, the one where Jason's mother was the killer) you already know the fate of Mrs. Voorhees. (Psst. She gets decapitated!)

Derek Mears plays Jason Voorhees. The flick is set for a release date of Friday February 13, 2009!
A trailer for the remake of Larry Cohen's cult-classic IT'S ALIVE has surfaced on You Tube! Based on the 1974 original feature of the same name, this new take stars Bijou Phillips (last seen in HOSTEL II) and was directed by Josef Rusnak. James Murray and Skye Bennett co-star. Millennium Films produced the feature, but there's no release date set as of press time. We'll keep you posted! Check out the trailer below!
Yea, we don't do too much reporting on video games, but I can't resist linking to this review over at Joystiqs. This almost, almost makes we want to buy a 360, because if there's two things I wanted to be when I was a kid it was a Friday the 13th camp counselor and a Ghostbuster. (And we all remember how much the "Friday the 13th" Nintendo game blew. Ok, yes, I realize that was 20 years ago. I'm still bitter, damn it!)
From their review: "The Ghostbusters animation, graphics, settings, and physics look great. The original cast has reassembled to record for this game. It's even being written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. But the biggest thing I didn't see was that story, and that narrative is an important part of Ghostbusters. We'll find out how well the script and setting hold up with its October, 2008 release."
Check this link here to Joystiqs for the full review, to find out if bustin' makes them feel good, and more screenshots. The game will be available in October for 360, Wii, and PS3.

This is just too great not to share with you fiends. Our buddy Brian Collins from Bloody-Disgusting/ Horror-Movie-A-Day sent us an email directing us to a vintage You Tube clip of Freddy Krueger pimping the VHS release of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS. It features some pretty funny Freddy footage I'd never seen before, as well as a clip from Robert Englund's appearance on the Joan Rivers show. ENJOY!!!

It's official! An article at The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Paul Solet's GRACE is about to be made into a feature length film, courtesy of Leomax Entertainment! Solet (who's short with Jake Hamilton MEANS TO AN END was featured on the BLOOD DRIVE 2 DVD) is writing and directing with Jordon Ladd (GRINDHOUSE, CABIN FEVER) set to play the lead Madeline. The article states GRACE is a "psychological horror film that follows a woman who discovers her "unborn" child has come back to life." The article neglects to mention that the baby dies in utero and Madeline carries the dead infant to term, only to realize that something is terrible wrong with newborn Grace upon her birth. Leomax's Ingo Vollkammer, Ariescope Pictures' Cory Neal and Adam Green (HATCHET, SPIRAL) and Dark Eye Entertainment's Kevin DeWalt are producing. Check out our interview with Paul Solet below, as well as the original short film and making-of for GRACE!
A few days ago, we posted the theater listings for Dario Argento's latest flick MOTHER OF TEARS, which opens in limited release on June 6th, and continues hitting up theaters through July. Those wonderful fiends at Bloody-Disgusting have posted the latest full trailer for the feature, which stars Asia Argento, Daria Nicolodi, Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni, and Udo Kier. Have a look for yourself below at Argento's latest!
Bloody-DisgustingTV has posted the first theatrical trailer to QUARANTINE, starring DEXTER's Jennifer Carpenter, HOSTEL's Jay Hernandez and Johnathon Schaech. The film was directed by John Erick Dowdle (THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES). It's actually a remake of the Spanish horror flick [REC]. You can check out the trailers to both QUARANTINE and [REC] below, along with the film's official synopsis. QUARANTINE opens October 17th, 2008 in theaters.
Synopsis: Television reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew's videotape.
Love it or hate it, no film is safe from Hollywood's constantly remaking claws, including the cult classic THE STEPFATHER, the original which featured LOST's Terry O'Quinn in the title role. The update is currently in production with director Nelson McCormick (he just remade the new PROM NIGHT) from a script by Joe Cardone. The only upside to this sure-to-be PG-13 flick is the decent cast. Dylan Walsh of NIP/TUCK plays the title role in the remake, and is joined by Sela Ward, Penn Badley, Amber Heard, Paige Turco, Braeden LeMasters, Skyler Samuels and Jon Tenney. THE STEPFATHER will hit theaters on October 16, 2009, so we have a whiles to go on this one.
Why don't we take a look at the original trailers for both THE STEPFATHER and (the underrated Jeff Burr sequel) THE STEPFATHER 2? Check 'em below!

The French movie FRONTIER(S) is set for a limited theatrical run on May 9th from After Dark Films followed immediately by a DVD release on May 13th. Both the theatrical run and DVD versions of the film are rated NC-17!

Synopsis: Yasmine, her ex-boyfriend and his two friends are entrenched in the Paris riots, stealing a large sum of money before they head for the Danish border. On their way, they check into a motel where things appear to be too good to be true (easy attractive women and free rooms). But looks are deceiving as this motel rapidly turns into a house of horrors run by a Neo-Nazi family that never lets people check out.
Earlier today, we posted a story about the highly underrated and unbelievably talented filmmaker Larry Fessenden landing the gig to direct an episode of NBC's upcoming horror series FEAR ITSELF. Now, the official Glass Eye Pix site has posted the DVD artwork for both versions of Fessenden's latest movie THE LAST WINTER. When I say both versions, it's because Blockbuster Video has an exclusive deal to release THE LAST WINTER on May 20th. It'll be available everywhere on July 29th. The flick stars Ron Perlman, James LeGros, Connie Britton, Kevin Corrigan and Jamie Harrold. Check out the DVD art below, along with the theatrical trailer!

A few days ago, an on-line petition appeared on the internet with the simple goal of reaching one million signatures so that filmmaker Uwe Boll would stop making movies. From what I understand, I believe Uwe admitted he'd quit if one million people told him to. Well, today, the good Dr. Boll has taken a swing back (and not in the boxing ring this time!) with his own on-line video message to fans and haters alike! Publicity stunt for POSTAL? Or pure genius at work! You decide! (And by the way, while most of his movies may not be all that good, POSTAL is in fact rather hilarious in a Troma-kinda way.)
Check out our interview with UWE BOLL from 2006! Just click the frame!
And our FIRST LOOK review of POSTAL:
Media Blasters provided FANGORIA with the specs on the upcoming DVD release of MACHINE GIRL (which we first reported on HERE), due out June 3rd. The article explains "Written and directed by Noboru Iguchi with makeup FX by Yoshihiro (EXTE) Nishimura, the movie stars Minase Yashiro as a high-school girl whose brother is killed by a gang of bullies under the employ of a ninja yakuza family. When she herself is left minus an arm after an encounter with the baddies, she has her missing limb replaced with a machine and teams up with a chainsaw-wielding woman to seek revenge." Read the specs on FANGO's post. Check out the trailer below, along with a clip from Bloody-Disgusting's site!
Book review:
A trailer for the sequel to 2006's REST STOP: DEAD AHEAD has made it's way on-line. The new film REST STOP: DON'T LOOK BACK was directed by Shawn Papazian from a script by John Shiban (who directed the first movie). Dare I say this one looks far better than the original? Take a look for yourself below, and while you're at it, you can check out our FRIGHT exclusive interview with the writer/director of the first REST STOP John Shiban by clicking the frame below! REST STOP: DON'T LOOK BACK hits DVD shelves in October courtesy of RAW FEED.
Anchor Bay Entertainment has acquired Stevan Mena's new mockumentary/comedy BRUTAL MASSACRE for a limited theatrical release, followed by a DVD release, according to The Hollywood Reporter. As the article mentions, "The feature stars David Naughton ("An American Werewolf in London") as a director trailed by a docu crew on a horror film set where Murphy's Law rules. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" star Gunnar Hansen, "Dawn of the Dead" star Ken Foree and three female leads from "The Evil Dead" round out the cast." Also starring are CLERKS star Brian O'Halloran and comedian Gerry Bednob (40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN) Check out our FIRST LOOK review by clicking the logo below, and also take a peek at the trailer!
Wow. I remember seeing DARK CITY in theaters multiple times upon it's release in 1998. It's one of my personal favorite films. Now, it looks like we can look forward to a new re-release, complete with additional FX, new score and a different cut! Bloody-Disgusting chatted with screenwriter David Goyer and he confirmed, "It's coming out fairly soon [and will] probably have limited theatrical, but I'm not sure. I have seen almost all of it and I took part in an over hour long making-of." Besides addition FX work, Goyer also revealed, "[They re-did] the score and the cuts a little longer. All of the parties involved did fairly lengthly interviews with us, they'll be included on there." DARK CITY was directed by Alex Proyas (THE CROW) and starred Rufus Sewell, William Hurt, Jennifer Connelly and Kiefer Sutherland. The teaser trailer is probably still one of my all time favorite trailers. (See below!) We'll keep you posted on when this new version will get a re-release!
Ah, those Lynch's. The trailer for Jennifer Lynch's new film SURVEILLANCE has made it's debut on-line. Lynch (David's daughter) made her directorial debut back in 1993 with BOXING HELENA. Her new flick (produced by David Lynch) features Bill Pullman, French Stewart, Julia Ormond, Michael Ironside & Cheri Oteri!? You can check out the creepy trailer below!
