I will be traveling to Philly today and be back either Sunday or Monday. Since I’m planning on using this holiday as a mini vacation, I will not be updating the site. So I wanted to wish our readers, members and friends a happy Thanksgiving before I leave.
2012 will be our 5 year anniversary. I’m hoping Santa brings us a new site design and a few other surprises. Hopefully we can pull Horror Yearbook out of the grave next year.
A fun getaway turns into a journey to Hell for some unlucky teenage girls visiting an isolated house to rehearse and perform a play for their private movie club. Taking the trip with an adult chaperone, the girls learn that a previous club member supposedly went missing in the house, and another went insane! Shortly after they arrive, a mysterious videotape is found with footage of a violent killer wearing a Japanese ‘deigan’ mask. Is this footage faked—or real? Soon the girls’ food and equipment disappear, and one of the girls is hauned by ghostly visions of the masked demon. Someone–or something–is in the house, and gruesome death awaits those who cannot escape!
There are a lot of great horror, fantasy and action movies coming to DVD and Blu-ray this week! Check out the complete list below.
Return of the Killer Shrews reunites Bo Duke (John Schneider), Sheriff Rosco. P. Coltrane (James Best) and Deputy Cletus Hogg (Rick Hurst) from the Dukes of Hazzard. But don’t worry, the sequel to the 1959 cult classic isn’t all about denture cream and Depends. It also stars Jennifer Lyons (National Lampoon’s Dorm Daze 2), Jeneta St. Clair (Barely Legal) and Katherine Randolph (Girl Play).
There is no official release date yet. You can visit the official website for updates, and watch the trailer below.

Special features and other specs have not been announced. All three films will be available on February 27th.
It’s Friday and I’m going to walk my fat ass to the movie theater to see The Twilight Saga: Breaking the Hymen Part 1. Please enjoy this video of a trap in quicksand.
Wild Wolf Publishing has announced two new titles; The Darker Side of OZ by Scott Stanford and Night Figthers by Rob Smith. Both books are available at WildWolfPublishing.com as trade paperbacks or e-books.

It’s amazing that we even have a “Lost Tape genre” since the gimmick should’ve only worked once, but the success of Paranormal Activity has given it a new life. Bloody Disgusting recently published the trailer for Upper, a movie reportedly based on “found footage” Quentin Tarantino purchased and refused to release. And Dimension Films is currently working on The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes, about a team of investigators who mistakingly try to take on the Amityville Horror house.
Shark Night 3D was a disappointment as a movie and at the box office ($34 million worldwide). Unfortunately it turned out just to be a boring PG-13 version of Piranha 3D. However, it did manage to deliver Sara Paxton in a bikini and a Katharine McPhee sideboob… So it wasn’t a total waste of time!
Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman) from the Orphan is all grown up, and she’s fighting in The Hunger Games on March 23, 2012. Check out the new trailer below. If you haven’t read the books yet, you can get the Hunger Games Trilogy Boxed Set here.
“Homecoming” is hands down the most thrilling and well written episode of the season. Looking back on, it’s mind blowing everything that happened. Characteristic of The Vampire Diaries’ best episodes, there are constant twists and everyone turning on each other, even those they are closest to. You never really know what’s going on, keeping you on the edge of your seat until everything builds up to the final conclusion. In the end, you understand why and their driving force is nothing short of ferocious. Everything is at stake. For many of our characters this could be the end of eternity.
In 2011, there have been very few horror films that have actually delivered the goods. In fact, over the last decade, it has seemed that the best films have been coming from across the pond, most notably from Spain, France, and jolly old England. The English has been exporting plenty of quality programs to American audiences over the last few years spanning from The Mighty Boosh, both versions of the Office and an American remake of Shameless on Showtime to miniseries/films such as Dead Set, Colin, and the new film Panic Button which has definitely lived up to the hype it has had before this review.
Ordinary People dives in to origins, those of werewolves, vampires, and hybrids. Elena, Alaric, and Damon find ancient drawings in the tomb that give them quite a bit of insight. There are still so many questions left unanswered though. They find out that the symbols represent the originals: Klaus, Elijah, Rebecca, and one previously unknown original, Michael, the vampire turned vampire hunter and father of the other originals. They know Michael is the key in all this and now he has been awakened. They need to know more though and Elena believes Rebecca is the key.
I don’t really have celebrity crushes. The only famous chick I ever masturbated to was the lead singer of the Divinyls when I was 15, and I’m not sure why. I don’t even think she’s attractive.
