The RZ HALLOWEEN 2 teaser trailer is now playing in select NY & LA theaters. While it has yet to officially hit the internet, Entertainment Tonight aired it under the snipped-down guise of “exclusive clip” (which they always do), so here that is – when a better copy is up we’ll update this post. April [...]

Looking forward to the alternate ending, because the one they went with was the only buzzkill on the entire rollercoaster ride for me – specifically talking the final shot of the film here – the very moment they should have used to strengthen the presence of Harry Warden/The Miner, they wasted to set up [...]

It seems every day there’s news on a new horror film, remake or sequel that’s happening. Good to hear when something’s not happening though. Like MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D, which we told you back in February had ideas swirling between writer/buck-naked star Todd Farmer and director Patrick Lussier.
Quick update from Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors… Director [...]

The thing about reduxing THE EYES OF LAURA MARS is, in the interim since, the concept of a female that has psychic visions of a serial killer taking out his prey has been done to, pardon, death throughout 90’s made-for-cable thrillers, so this would need a new twist to bring something fresh to the original [...]

Rob Zombie has engineered a hell of a lot of security to keep HALLOWEEN 2’s new mask secret all through filming – a top feat, in this internet age. Now the time has come to reveal all – while we recently showed you the subtlety altered bloodied-up mask he wears at the continuation of the [...]

You got a purty mouth….
A remake of Tobe Hooper’s underrated 1981 monster/slasher hybrid The Funhouse has been bandied about for a couple of years now, so it’s ‘upcoming’ status isn’t really news. However, only recently the project seems to be gaining traction. Remake-mongers Strike Entertainment (production arm of Universal), who previously hit gold with the [...]

From the drunken lothario that brings you Horror Yearbook comes a news website dedicated to the upcoming A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2010). If you’re after all the latest on the Platinum Dunes reboot which stars Jackie Earle Haley (WATCHMEN) as Freddy Krueger, this is your first and last stop.

Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN 2 has finished shooting, so now decent materials should start pouring in. Throughout filming, Zombie seemed to spend his internet time building some sort of alternate in-film universe for the fictional music and TV acts featured in the flick.
So here are the only 3 pics that jumped out at me since filming [...]

Some of you may no doubt recall a remake of Terror Train was announced by Lionsgate a ways back, set to star the lovely former A-list darling Thora Birch. Imaginatively rechristened Train, the project strangely morphed into a knockoff of Hostel 2, and was relegated to the shelf, where it remains to this day.

100% less [...]

The official site for SORORITY ROW (2009) recently opened at the well-named thetapi-ordie.com – not much there right now but I did catch this clear look of the new birdcane! Although it isn’t as prominent weapon as in the original (who wants a straight repeat anyway, certainly not I), it fills me with warmth inside [...]
