I’m going to shoot through the remake news as quickly as possible.
You’ve probably already seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake prequel trailer. Final Girl has a handle on the poster.
The 40-Year Old Virgin 2 : Wicker Man trailer is up as well. The less said about that the better.
The Stepfather is stepping up to the plate. Somehow it makes me even more sad to see some of the minor classics up for remakes than it is to see the majors.
The only remake on this list that has me the least bit excited is the possiblity of a made-for-TV Wolfen movie. I have a particular fondness for the low-budget aesthetic of the television movie. It often adds to the lurid quality of the film. That and the original Wolfen, though probably too slow and confusing for a 7 year-old, creeped me out enough that I even tried to read the novel.
And finally, some behind-the-scenes for the upcoming Black Christmas remake. For the record, Black Christmas is my favourite horror movie, behind only Night of the Living Dead and the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, so I have no hope that this will come to any good. Regardless, whether you’re actually interested or morbidly fascinated, there are a few neat tidbits in there for you.

I just bought a 1072 made for tv movie named GARGOYLES .I saw the Gargoyles movie on tv before ,but thought it was earlier then 72. does anyone know if that movie in 72 was a remake from an earlier movie , maybe from the late 50s or early 60. I seem to trmember the clothes the daughter being from an earlier time. she looks younger then the one I saw on tv. I thought I saw it when I was a child mot a grown married person like I was in 1972. if any one knows please write me at kn_monkey@webtv.net
