Did anyone even attend After Dark Films’ Horrorfest this year? And after their track record, are horror fans willing to give original movies created by them a chance? Lionsgate and NBC Universal’s Syfy seem to think so.

Seven of the eight films have been filmed and are in post-production. They include Husk, Fertile Ground, Scream Of The Banshee, Prowl, The Task, Re-Kill, Seconds Apart and 51.

Sigourney Weaver and Alicia Silverstone to Star in Vamps
Published by March 17th, 2010 in NEWS. 0 CommentsAlicia Silverstone is still alive? Who knew! The Clueless (yes you have to go that far back to find something worth mentioning on her resume) star will team up with Krysten Ritter (Veronica Mars) and Sigourney Weaver for Amy Heckerling’s vampire comedy Vamps. Weaver must have agreed to this crap before Avatar was a hit.
Silverstone and Ritter are playing two younger vampires partying it up in New York City. The poop hits the fan when one of them falls in love. Weaver will play Ciccerus, the vampire who turned the two into vamps… Basically another vampire flick trying to cash-in on Twilight craze, and something our Editor will love!

Published by March 17th, 2010 in DVD/Blu-ray RELEASES. 3 CommentsYAY! Dark Night of the Scarecrow is finally coming to DVD! Writer J.D. Feigelson told HYB that VCI Entertainment will be releasing the DVD sometime around Halloween.
DNotS made our Top Ten Made for TV Horror Movies and has been called, “the creepiest made for TV horror flick ever made,” by our own Brain Hammer.
I just got back from two weeks of heavy, heavy drinking in San Francisco and El Cerrito and I need time to recover. Here are a few quick important news stories until I return tomorrow.
True Blood season will premiere on June 13.
Porn star Sasha Grey returns to the horror genre with Richard O’Sullivan’s Hallows Grey told HorrorSquad.com, “Hallows basically takes the standard kids-in-the-woods-running-from-a-killer genre and flips it on its ear. The deaths aren’t random. They’re not cookie cutter. Each character dies in a fashion relating to the way they live their life. I’m less interested in gore-for-the-sake-of-gore (although there is gore in this film and plenty of it) than the psychology behind the characters and how they react to what happens.”
Here is the special sneak peek at Predators that was shown at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas on Friday night. There are also reports that the trailer will be released on March 18th. Very exciting stuff!
A bold new chapter in the Predator universe, Predators was shot on location under Rodriguez’s creative auspices at the filmmaker’s Austin-based Troublemaker Studios, and is directed by Nimród Antal. The film stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they’ve been brought together on an alien planet… as prey. With the exception of a disgraced physician, they are all cold-blooded killers – mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members – human “predators” that are now being systemically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators.

The Women of Elm Street Nude: Freddy vs. Jason
Published by March 12th, 2010 in Classic Horror Titties. 0 CommentsIt’s Friday and I’m on my way to see Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, but before I go here is our final Women of Elm Street Nude, before the new Elm Street hits theaters on April 30, 2010.
This time we have Monica Keena in a deleted scene sex scene. Tammy Morris going nude in the shower as the body double for Katharine Isabelle. Odessa Munroe from Final Destination 2, and Jacqueline Stewart (below) for Freddy vs. Jason — the last time Freddy Krueger was on the big screen.
The German film Last Call’s tagline should be “The perfect horror movie for black people,” because it encourages the audience to use their cell phones in theaters.
Last Call uses a “voice recognition software” to create a choose your own adventure horror film, where an audience member can communicate with the protagonist using their cell phone. We all know how the voice recognition crap works from calling our bank or other businesses. It’s fucking annoying, so why would we want to pay $10 to do it while watching a movie? You just know this shit is lame.

After.Life opens April 9, 2010 and stars Liam Neeson and Christina Ricci.
After a horrific car accident, Anna (Ricci) wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn’t believe she’s dead, despite the funeral director’s reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. But Anna’s grief-stricken boyfriend Paul (Justin Long) still can’t shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot isn’t what he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late; Anna may have already begun to cross over the other side.
