FEARnet Prepping ‘Post Mortem’ Interview Series
12 November 2009 10:18 AM, PST | Tubefilter.tv | See recent Tubefilter News news »
Can you believe FEARnet is already onto its eighth original web series already? The Comcast-backed horror hub, which recently launched Fear Clinic, is now gearing up for Post Mortem with Mick Garris. The interview series will feature five minute episodes, in a "Charlie Rose of Horror" fashion, with various horror directors and other luminaries like Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven, Robert Englund and John Carpenter. Mick Garris might in fact be the Charlie Rose of horror, having a rolodex that reads like a who's who in the genre after creating The Fantasy Film Festival and Showtime's Masters of Horror anthology series. "There is nobody in the business who can bring to our audience what Mick can – an unprecedented knowledge of the industry from the ground up, and a network of A-List colleagues who are happy to share with him and our viewers their experiences, stories and insights about fear-inspired entertainment,” said FEARnet's President Diane Robina. »

Correction: Garris Hosting FearNet Series Post Mortem
11 November 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Correction: Garris wrote in to us to clarify that the show's episodes will run a half hour on FearNet's cable incarnation, while the webisodes will run five minutes. Filmmaker Mick Garris is returning to his roots: Interviewing fellow genre professionals. Before directing several Stephen King adaptions such as The Stand , The Shining and Desperation or creating the Showtime hit series Masters Of Horror , Garris hosted the local L.A. movie series The Fantasy Film Festival , which boasted a bevy of in-depth chats with directors such as David Cronenberg, John Landis and William Friedkin. Variety reports that Garris will now host Post Mortem With Mick Garris for FearNet, the site that most recently premiered the original web-series Fear Clinic in October. Already... »
Update: Mick Garris to Perform Post Mortems for FEARnet
11 November 2009 2:04 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
FEARnet is once again doing its very best to provide viewers and fans some really cool stuff to check out beyond its vast library of flicks and webisodic content.
Variety reports that the broadband channel is set to run "Post Mortem With Mick Garris", which will feature the creator behind the anthology "Masters of Horror" as he sits down with some of the genre's top writers, producers, and stars including Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven, and more.
Update: Each episode of "Post Mortem" will run about a half-hour in length and be sort of a "Charlie Rose of Horror" type show with five-minute webisodes being utilized as an adjunct to that.
The show and the webisodes will debut in December on the network, which is distributed via on demand, online, and mobile platforms. Look for more soon!

Bsb: In Praise of Fright Night
8 November 2009 10:40 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
When you scrape away the death obsessed subtext and technicalities of the process, watching and loving horror films should be just plain fun, exhilarating fun, a complete escape into another parallel world that echoes our own. If it's not, if you find yourself labouring to find that simple joyous eye of the proverbial needle, well then, perhaps you should just give up the pursuit of terror geekdome altogether.
For me, speaking as someone who was literally born into a world where the people that done made me loved dark movies and weird entertainments and fully endorsed my obsessions with my growing "id", horror films will forever be tied to the sweetest moments of my youth. From those secret late night, school night, TV movie binges to sneaking into R rated films after buying PG tickets, horror was my first rebellion against the mainstream so embraced by my peers and the »

Exclusive: Robert Englund - Checking into Fear Clinic Part II
3 November 2009 12:51 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
For someone like Robert Englund, whose character of Freddy Krueger became legendary in the pop culture lexicon, you'd think he'd relish the opportunity to step out from behind the mask (or make-up) in the FEARnet web series "Fear Clinic."
However, despite his long career, the actor still gets apprehensive about using his own visage on film.
Englund said, "What's really funny for me is that most people think that the makeup is restrictive for me (or even Kane), but it really isn't. In fact, I almost prefer being creative in makeup as opposed to just being myself on screen."
"I can do so much more with a character like Freddy than I can with a normal-looking guy in a suit. It's like the makeup brings out the character inside you and just pushes you beyond what you normally do when you're performing. I can change my voice and move differently. »

The Vampire Diaries 1.07 "Haunted" Recap
30 October 2009 12:03 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
After an intolerable and stress-inducing bi-week hiatus, The Vampire Diaries came back to us like a vamp to a love slave and my wrist was stretched out for more. The magazines and websites claimed that last night’s episode, “Haunted”, was going to change the game of the show, but despite the goodies and shocks we got last night, I felt like I had tasted a little bit of bad blood. But I don’t care. I really don’t. Why? Well for starters, the performances last night were phenomenal across the board. If nobody felt moved at all by any of the emotional scenes last night, then you might want to check your pulse. Secondly, the episode was co-written by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec, the executive producers of the show, as well as Andrew Kreisberg who wrote the story. Thirdly, the episode was directed by Ernest Dickenson; an »

50 Influential Scream Queens: Part 1
27 October 2009 5:54 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Given man's unwavering fascination with woman, it's no surprise that the female star acts as the anchor to a dominant portion of horror pictures. I mean really, who wants to see a bare chested man tearin ass through the woods screaming at the top of his lungs while a bladed assailant nips at his heels? I don't - I know that much, although I'm certain there are plenty of men who would disagree (and that's okay with me, to each his own!). The simple fact remains however, women bring a unique appeal and certain sensual atmosphere to film that no man ever could. And it's not all about gratuitous T&A.
There's a comforting quality in the hands of the heroine; a fascinating maternal strength that, as a man I cannot genuinely relate to. I can however admire, and in many cases it's nearly impossible to not admire the lone »

Fright Exclusive Interview: Tony Todd Talks Splatter

Tony Todd Talks Splatter
Conducted by Phil Fasso and Mike Cucinotta on October 26, 2009
So we're sitting here in The Frightquarters waiting for Tony Todd to report in. We interviewing him via telephone so no need to repeat his name five times. We tried it, it didn't work. (Ok, ok... we only got to 4 and turned the lights on.)
A funny thing pops up on our telescreen: An old doc on 'Bride of Frankestein', hosted by Joe Dante, starring Clive Barker and featuring Bill Condon, all of whom have worked with Todd. Barker and Condon having been involved in 'Candyman' and 'Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh', and Dante having recently directed him in 'Splatter', a new 3 episode web series, produced by Roger Corman and debuting exclusively for free on Netflix on October 29th.

Exclusive: Richard C. Matheson on 'Splatter'
26 October 2009 3:30 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Richard Christian Matheson may come from genre royalty (his dad Richard Matheson's long list of credits include the novel I Am Legend, many classic episodes of The Twilight Zone and much, much more), but he's a very accomplished horror writer in his own right, having penned numerous acclaimed books and stories, as well as episodes of Tales from the Crypt, Amazing Stories, Masters of Horror, and Knight Rider. Richard's most recent project, arriving just in time for Halloween, is a web series for Netflix called Splatter, about a rock star back from the dead to torment his so-called friends. Splatter brings together an insane amount of horror talent. Matheson wrote the script, directed by Joe Dante, produced by... »
Rotten Thoughts: Should Hooper Return to the Chainsaw Franchise?
23 October 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Within the last year, original Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper switched representation and found a home at Evolution Management, a robust firm that reps many folks working in the genre today. Great news, I thought, for Hooper who hasn't done a feature since Mortuary and, since then, directed two episodes of Masters of Horror . He's still attached to From a Buick 8 , the Stephen King adaptation, but that seems to be running low on gas. Being housed at Evolution is the best thing for him right now. He'll have some guidance. And maybe the fellas there will set him on the right track. Distance himself from the stigma of his '90s output and make "A Tobe Hooper film" mean something. Now, it's no secret Evolution shares the same offices as Twisted... »
Director William Malone Talks Next Project -- Phoenix Dust
22 October 2009 12:46 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Recently we caught up with William Malone at the La Screamfest to get the early word on his next project. Best known for directing The House on Haunted Hill, Parasomnia, and "The Fair-Haired Child" episode of Masters of Horror, we're looking forward to what Bill has cooking next. Which is ...
"I've got this project," Malone tells Dread. "It's a big budget sci-fi film called Phoenix Dust, so I'm working right now on a promotional film for that, and that's been taking up a lot of my time. Lots of green screen in it, but it's got everything people could want ... monsters, robots, half-naked chicks ... what more could you want?"
Ummm ... Catholic schoolgirls riding mechanical bulls? Did I just type that? Never mind. Anyway ... look for more on Phoenix Dust soon.

HorrorFest 2009: 'The Hills Run Red'
18 October 2009 7:00 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Welcome to HorrorFest 2009. When my first "Masters Of Horror" episode aired, reviews were generally pretty good, but there was a vocal percentage of the audience that immediately accused my partner and I of being "rip-off artists." The particular sources I saw cited most often were Roman Polanski's "The Ninth Gate" and the Theodore Roszak novel Flicker. Thing is, I hadn't read Flicker. I'll cop to having read and admired Throat Sprockets, a great Tim Lucas novel, but even that is something I just admire in terms of taking film seriously as a source of horror, and not as any direct inspiration. ... »
Derek Mears Officially Joins the Cast of Predators
17 October 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Actor Derek Mears officially confirmed rumors this weekend at a horror con that he has been cast in Robert Rodriguez's Predators . One can only presume that he'll be playing one of the many Predator warriors the sequel, shooting in Texas, has to offer. We saw Mears earlier this year in Friday the 13th as Jason Voorhees. He's also appeared in The Hills Have Eyes 2 and Masters of Horror . Predators finds stars Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins and Alice Braga being kidnapped and whisked away to the Predator home planet where they are hunted.

An American Werewolf In London, Army Of Darknes and Van Helsing Blu-ray Reviews
10 October 2009 10:01 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Halloween brings out the ghosts, ghouls and reissues of Haloween favorites and “favorites.” Universal, one of the great studios for catalog Blu-ray releases has put out two cult-classics, and one film that might strain to be some day. My reviews of An America Werewolf in London, Army of Darkness and Van Helsing after the jump.
John Landis has a great and awkward career, one that started with promise and mutated into saggy but somewhat enjoyable enterprises. It’s hard to say if the joy is gone because his first episode of Masters of Horror suggested that the man still has some game. An American Werewolf in London may not be his best movie (it’s hard to argue between it, Animal House and Trading Places), but it’s one of the great modern horror films.

Happy birthday to 'Eclipse' star Jodelle Ferland and (belated) to 'New Moon' star Noot Seear!
9 October 2009 8:39 AM, PDT | Twilight Examiner | See recent Twilight Examiner news »
Today, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse star Jodelle Ferland celebrates her 15th birthday. Ferland, though not long in the tooth, has had a very prolific and successful career in films and television. She started acting at the far-from-ripe age of five years old in the television series Cold Squad. Since then, Ferland has appeared in films such as Tideland, Silent Hill, The Messengers, Good Luck Chuck, and Case 39. She has also appeared in television shows like Kingdom Hospital, Masters Of Horror, and Smallville. Though she is best known, like her friend and Eclipse co-star Cameron Bright, for her "young but creepy" .. October 5th, The Twilight Saga: New Moon actress Noot Seear turned 26. She, a long-term, successful model-turned-actress, has just recently made her way into the realm of films (though she did also appear on an episode of Cold Squad as well). With her great »

John Carpenter’s Riot with Nicolas Cage No Longer Happening
8 October 2009 3:17 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Over the past year or so, horror master John Carpenter has finally decided to shake off the cobwebs and start moving forward on a number of feature films after taking an 8-year hiatus from the director's chair (not counting his two recent episodes of Masters of Horror). While he is reportedly in the middle of production on a horror/thriller called The Ward starring Amber Heard, it appears that one of his other upcoming projects may have unfortunately fallen by the wayside. Screen Rant [1] reports that the proposed John Carpenter/Nicolas Cage team-up [2] Riot (previously titled Scared Straight) is now officially dead in the water. The news comes courtesy of actress Katie Chonacas, who was also going to be an executive producer of the film. "I don’t think the film Riot is happening anymore, it was part of a two-picture deal however, Nic Cage has the option to replace Riot with another film. »

Beware the Mongolian Death Worms!
6 October 2009 2:08 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
We now have a new favorite title for a Syfy original movie: Mongolian Death Worms! But bear in mind that they didn’t make up that moniker; it seems the Mongolian Death Worm is a cryptozoological species that has been reported and investigated for decades now, which makes it a surprise that Syfy didn’t catch up with it sooner.
The Worm supposedly ranges from 2 to 5 feet long and lives under the sands of the Gobi desert, from which it emerges to kill its prey via either spitting caustic acid or launching electrical shocks. As for its movie incarnation, Mongolian Death Worms recently lensed in Dallas, TX for Ogre and Wyvern director Steven R. Monroe, who scripted with Sea Beast’s Neil Elman.

Opening Case 39
5 October 2009 9:19 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
The plot device of adults protecting children is a time-honored subject in horror films. An omnipresent evil plotting and casting its inky tendrils toward the young and innocent has been seen in films as diverse as John Schlesinger’s Santeria-inflected The Believers, the Dean Koontz adaptation The Servants Of Twilight and Chuck Russell’s misguided Bless The Child. The defense of youth inspires the most protective of emotions in audiences, and the latest film to tap into these specific emotions is Paramount’s supernatural thriller Case 39.
Directed by German up-and-comer Christian Alvart, who first attracted attention with his serial-murder saga Antibodies and subsequently helmed this fall’s sci-fi chiller Pandorum, from a script by Pulse’s Ray Wright, Case 39 stars Oscar-winner Renee Zellweger, Deadwood’s Ian McShane and ubiquitous young actress Jodelle Ferland. After numerous delays (and release in numerous other international territories this winter), the film will open in U. »
