The days of any kind of genre or cult fan meeting in one place to hang out and share in their enjoyment of whatever it is they enjoy are long gone. The “fan convention” has been replaced by over-stocked and over-priced celebrity worship gatherings. San Diego’s Comic-Con and conventions like Creations Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors are a who’s who of studio PR machines and washed-up horror “celebrities” in need of a paycheck. If George Romero was nice to you at this years L.A. weekend of horrors he should have been, because Creation paid him a lot of money to be there. Director Tim Sullivan is always looking for an excuse to talk about himself, and any aging scream queen will gladly give you an autograph for $25. If you’re really lucky she will even let you buy her a drink at the bar. You can also stand in line for shitty free handouts, or to see an exclusive clip for a movie you will be able to see two days later on the Internet. While I never understood the allure of any of these things, many horror fans look forward to any horror convention coming to their town. If you happen to live someplace that they never do come to, just start your own. As soon as it becomes successful Creation will show up to muscle you out of the way, just like they did to New Jersey’s Chiller Expo. If you are lucky enough to live in a some-what marketable area, Creation will slop together some half-assed piece of shit, act like they did you a favor while still charging you the same prices. Don’t get me wrong, there are some good times and great things to come out of these conventions from time to time but discussing those things is not my purpose today. Today is about the company Creation and why I never quite cared for them in the first place.

Wow talk about stumbling on something great! While I was checking out Transformer star Megan Fox naked (look really close at the second picture you can see her pubic hair) I noticed that the pictures were from a film called Jennifer’s Body. It turns out that Jennifer’s Body was written by Diablo Cody, the woman who wrote Juno, and who can also see naked here. The film is listed on IMDB.com as a “horror/comedy” and it is also directed by Karyn Kusama who directed 2005’s Æon Flux, talk about women power
Gory greetings! Welcome to a very special edition of Brain Hammer’s PICKS FROM THE CRYPT. This week’s PICKS are a terrible trio of cult classic 80’s exploitation flicks from the notorious Spanish writer, producer, and director Juan Piquer Simon. Juan grew up raised on a diet of classic American cinema in his native Spain and considers himself an adamant fan of fantasy, thriller and horror films. Juan Piquer Simon’s efforts are infamous for being so bad, that they’re actually good. Simon has even been called the Spanish answer to Ed Wood.
I’m a huge fan of his flicks, especially the ones featured in this column. Something about the horrible dubbing, the incoherent editing, the incomprehensible plots, the tacky synthesized music; it all adds up to create pure movie magic! For all of their many, many faults, Simon’s flicks are hysterically funny and entertaining as Hell. They also deliver the goods in the splatter and sleaze departments, with plenty of scenes of flesh ripping ferocity. In honor of the one and only Juan Piquer Simon, LET THE BLOODSHED BEGIN!!!

What all horror fans should do (the ones who can) is skip the “Summer Blockbusters” on June 6, 2008, and go see Dario Argento’s The Mother of Tears. Below we got a crap load of good looking pictures from the film. You can click here to see all the topless pictures from The Mother of Tears.

Frat House Massacre sounds like the perfect film for all the ex-high-school nerds who are still bitter about gym glass, hate Eli Roth, and those of you who are still offended by pretty women being stalked and killed in horror films. Turning the tables, Frat House leaves the popular “sorority house” stalking grounds for the lesser traveled male fraternity house, and features plenty of shirtless men being tied up, tortured and killed, but titty hunters don’t fret there is still plenty of female flesh to go around. To see what I am talking about check out the uncensored teaser trailer here or You Tube trailer after the jump.

After Dark Films making their own horror movies is like Britney Spears being in charge of her own career — you should all know how well that went. The HollyWood Reporter reports that: “After Dark Films is producing the first horror films set for its shitty 8 Films to Die For theatrical film series.” Okay I added the “shitty” part, but the majority of horror fans do agree on the fact, that the 8 Films series has been complete garbage up to this point.

Anchor Bay has managed to squeeze all 13 episodes of the Season 2 of Masters of Horror into a friggen’ human skull and are selling this bad boy for about $86.97 to be released on July 29th. It is being discounted to $60.99 if you pre-purchase it. But figure out early on if you want one of these because it is limited to only 15,000 units.
The Season Two Box Set features each episode in anamorphic widescreen (1.78:1) and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. Each disc has director commentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, still galleries, storyboards, trailers, and DVD-ROM screenplays.

I was just preparing to finish off my bottle of whiskey and write my Fangoria Weekend of Horrors 2008 L.A. report (where I was banned by the cunty people who work for Creation Entertainment) when this little anonymous tip was dropped on my lap. It seems Creative Group Inc., who owns Starlog and Fangoria filed under Chapter 11 on March 21. Bloomberg.com reports:

Eli Roth wants to put a stop to Internet grumbling about him “ditching the horror genre” after it was reported that his next movie would be PG-13 Sci-Fi film. Roth posted this response on his official My Space Blog:
Sometimes when you watch the kind of movies that you and I watch, you may get a little jaded. A little numb. You grow a little cold to all of the sex, violence and gore thrust on you by the seemingly never-ending lot of new Fulci and Miike wanna-bes. It’s OK, it comes with the territory. But sometimes - not often enough - but sometimes a movie and a filmmaker comes along that jars you out of your coma of depravity. Frontière(s) is that movie and Xavier Gens is that writer/director.
“Teeth” revolves around Dawn (Jess Weixler) a teenage girl on the verge of adulthood who discovers that she’s not like the other girls in at her high school. While the rest of her class is concerned with the average teenage issues: acne, college, boyfriends, etc. Dawn’s problem’s a bit more sensitive, for while the other girls might be worried about having to get braces on their face, Dawn might have to get a set for her crotch. That’s because she has “Vagina Dentada” which I think is Latin for “a cunt full of teeth.” You see, Dawn’s the type of girl that can spread her lips and smile a toothy grin that only a midget can appreciate.
Never having seen Misty Mundae naked is like never having seen the sun rise, but it just doesn’t feel right to have a section called Classic Horror Titties without her in it. So Horror Yearbook would like to welcome Misty Mundae (or Erin Brown) to our little family.
