A new Friday the 13th documentary, His Name Was Jason will air on the Starz network the first week of February, 2009. Anchor Bay will then release it on DVD for all you Voorhees enthusiast out there.
Crystal Lake Memories editor, Daniel Farrands will direct the doc that follows the longest running slasher franchise.
Mirrors manages to resist the simple ghost story clichés and predictability. Even though it is not among the greatest, it still severely squashes the vast majority of mediocre films that have premises that are not all that different. It accomplishes this by having a solid story and doesn’t feel the need to reveal it in a big twist. Instead, it gradually is revealed to us at piece by piece at the same time our main character is learning and discovering the information for himself and learning what he has to do to stop what will otherwise be the inevitable.
If you are a regular reader of Horror Yearbook then you know I am a huge Full Moon fan. So Charles Band’s plans to release six new sequels to such classics as; Puppet Master, Head of the Family and Demonic Toys is very, very exciting news to me. Band also plans on releasing sequels to his newer classics Gingerdead Man and Killer Bong The titles for the new films are:
The Hollywood Reporter reports that Tom Cruise may star in Sam Raimi’s next comic book adaptation, Sleeper.
There was a rumor floating around that X-Files 3 would be going straight to DVD. I didn’t even know they had plans for a third film, however, on Biglight.com’s Blog (the people who made X-Files: I Want to Believe) there is a post about why there should be a third film (read below). Some websites are reporting that the site denied the straight to DVD rumors but I couldn’t find it. I also have no idea who wrote this but it just sounds like some hardcore fan’s wishful thinking, instead of anything official The mystery may never be solved…
Horror-Movies.ca got their hands on the casting news for Wrong Turn 3. It will star: Janet Montgomery, Tamer Hassan, Chucky Venice, Mac McDonald, Jake Curran, Mike Straub, Tom Frederic, Gil Kolirin and Tom Mackey. You probably don’t recognize most of them because there is nothing to recognize them from. The writer of Harpies, Declan O’Brien will direct.
The third Wrong Turn will follow the mutant, Three Finger. No word on if he will be the only one or not, but the plot will follow the same formula as the first two…Teenagers go into the woods and the killing begins…
Below is the poster for Paddy Breathnach’s (Shrooms) new film Freakdog.
2008 may be the year of the zombie; there was George Romero’s Diary of the Dead, Poultrygeist, mentally challenged zombies and now Ninja Zombies!

We were just talking about Killer Reptile movies on our message board, and then I stumbled over the cover art for Tara Reid’s new movie Vipers. How quick can you put it on your Netflix que? I got it on mine in 30 seconds, but you will have to wait until September 23 to see it, but good things come to those who wait.
This time Moronic Mark battles a cricket and a totally unique yet mind-numblying awful flick with grown men in Halloween masks. There’s also a shitload of naked women in it (many are quite spankeriffic), yet he still can’t reccomend it cause it’s 85 minutes of torture.
If there is one thing I am sure of, it is that the Red Cross doesn’t want my alcohol-thinned, disease-infested blood, but maybe they will still take yours. Here is yet again another — Saw V Blood Drive poster.
I don’t know how I missed this but Horrormovies.ca reported on Aug 13, that the new horror/comedy Jennifer’s Body did have a Megan Fox nude scene, but they CUT IT!
