Fangoria has a great follow-up on yesterday’s Bad Biology story, including a few words from Frank Henenlotter himself.
Looks like Jorge Olguín is about to become the hardest working man in horror. According to Twitch Film, the director has been offered Open Grave and the Prom Night remake, presumably after he takes care of the other two or three films he’s in the middle of.
DVD
Fangoria also reveals news on an upcoming edition of Spider Baby, directed by one of my all-time favourite directors, Jack Hill.
Interested in the future of the direct-to-DVD horror market? let DISContent hook you up.
Interviews
Film Ick has a partial transcript of the Hot Fuzz web chat with Shaun of the Dead stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, as well as director Edgar Wright. While it’s mostly about the buddy cop genre, horror does sneak it’s way in on occassion.
Question - “Do you prefer policeman or zombies?”
Edgar Wright - “Not sure, but we don’t really care for the Zombie cops in Dead Heat”.
Television
CBS has picked up two new horror pilots. Twilight is about a vampire private investigator and causes me to wonder why I shouldn’t just ditch this blog and get into screenwriting if it’s that easy. And Babylon Fields is a comedic drama that concerns the social ramnifications of the dead returning to life. Wacky! What we see here is the final nail in the coffin for the recent surge in genre television.
Comics
KISS has finally decided to solidify their long-held position as the masters of comics and have start their own comic company. The first two titles will be KISS 4K, an autobiographical tome concenring the band’s transformation from average rock stars to warrior spirits, and KISS Girls, because that’s their favourite pastime.
Clips of the Day
In honour of the upcoming remake for Day of the Dead, The Abbatoir has thrown together some of the greatest zombie trailers and faux-trailers of all time. There were even a few surprises waiting for me, and I thought I had seen them all.
Misc.
It looks like I’ve finally landed my first scoop among the various horror news sites, as a story I covered over a month ago finally makes the rounds. It’s nice to finally be giving back after so many months of taking.
