Brad Fuller Calls Elm Street Fans Idiots

13 July 2009 5:32 PM, PDT | From HorrorYearbook | See recent HorrorYearbook news

A Nightmare on Elm Street producer Brad Fuller had some interesting words for fans who think Jackie Earle Haley is not worthy of replacing Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. Jackie and Clement spent four hours a day painstaking applying all the make-up, appliances, texture before coming to shoot. And when we were all done at the end of the day they had to stay for at least another hour to take it off. For those of you keeping score at home that is 5 hours a day, on top of 12 hour shooting days. Those among you who are so closed-minded that you can't fathom anyone else playing the role, you are idiots. So much time and effort put into bringing Freddy back and you dismiss him before you've seen his efforts, it's just stupidity. See what we've done and then pass judgment; but there isn't a person out there who can

More info/exclusive pics from Robert Hall’s Fear Clinic

13 July 2009 10:25 AM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Filmmaker/FX artist Robert Hall sent along some additional information on his web series Fear Clinic, elaborating on his previous comments here.  This time, he’s got details on just who the genre heavy hitters in the cast, Kane Hodder and Danielle Harris, are playing, and also provided a new pair of exclusive behind-the-scenes pics (see ’em below).

The show, scripted by Aaron Drane, revolves around the genius Dr. Andover (played by Robert Englund), whose mission in life is to cure mankind’s phobias using his Fear Chamber, a device that can bring your worst terrors to life. “Danielle plays Susan, Dr. Andover’s oldest patient,” Hall explains, “whom he just can’t seem to cure of her scotophobia [fear of the dark], and it makes him obsessive. Kane plays Villatoro, a renegade orderly who works for Englund’s character and butts heads with him—often.” Other actors involved include Lucas Till from Hall

Robert Hall’s Fear Clinic update and pics

8 July 2009 12:52 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Fango received an update and from filmmaker and Fango blogger Robert Hall on his new web series Fear Clinic, as well as a couple of exclusive behind-the-scenes photos. The project, which we first told you about here under its previous title Fear Chamber, brings together two of horror’s biggest heavyweights, Robert Englund and Kane Hodder.

The project also reunites Hall with his Laid To Rest Dp Scott Winig (first photo, at right with Englund, Hall and Hodder), and co-stars genre fave Danielle Harris. “I believe that what we’ve done with this show—the amalgamation of horror talent and such—fills a much-needed void in horror programming right now,” Hall says. “It’s definitely an old-school approach in regard to the story and FX, but with a new-school flair, attention span and look.”

Hall will be directing over half of the episodes, and is very confident about what he,

Maxx FX and the Mystery of the Lost Monsters?

8 July 2009 8:56 AM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

A couple of days ago, a friend of mine sent me a link to a commercial (see it below) for a toy line called Maxx FX. The video was from the late 80's, and much like those "Zack the Lego Maniac" commercials featured a horrible soundtrack of canned beats and "jingle rapping."

The difference?

This toy line featured The Universal Monsters along with characters from Friday The 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, and Alien. So where was I when this happened?

Apparently I, like much of the public completely missed this one due to a marketing snafu on the part of Matchbox - the makers of Maxx FX. The set-up for the line was that "Maxx" was "entertainment's master of special effects, make-up, and the new man of a million faces." Each set would feature a 10" Maxx Doll based off of a Mego-style body, and a variety of costumes

Freddy wrapped on Elm Street?

2 July 2009 12:01 AM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Just a little tidbit out of the Elm Street reboot this morning, as producer Brad Fuller (Friday The 13th) has revealed that "freddy is wrapped."

The news trickled out via Fuller's Twitter page, where he's been dropping tiny details throughout the now two-month production. What that means is that Jackie Earle Haley has completed his portion of the filming, so all the would-be paparazzi hoping to spy a glimpse of the new Freddy Krueger can put the cameras away.

A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) will continue lensing in the Chicago area for just a little while longer, and is set for an April 2010 release. The film stars Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen, Bad News Bears) in the role of Freddy Krueger, taking over the glove from Robert Englund.  The genre-centric cast also includes Kellan Lutz (The Twilight Saga: New Moon,) Rooney Mara (Urban Legends: Bloody Mary), Kyle Gallner (Jennifer's Body), Thomas Dekker (Laid To Rest,

What's new on Elm Street?

30 June 2009 8:45 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been bombarded with "set photos" from the Platinum Dunes production of A Nightmare On Elm Street. Currently filming in and around Chicago, Illinois and across the border in Gary, Indiana (yes, the boyhood home of Michael Jackson), the production has been happening under the watchful eyes of curious onlookers, would-be paparazzi, and horror fiends alike.

While the "official" set visits have been occurring over the past few weeks and most of that coverage is currently "embargoed", the John Q. Public coverage keeps on coming.

On Monday, the crew of the Nightmare reboot returned to Gary yet again to film a dream sequence on Taylor Street. A few photos of the dilapidated housing were sent in last week (see them here) as maintenance crews prepped the block for filming. With filming complete in Gary (see the Post-Tribune's latest set report),  a few more photos have surfaced,

Old Freddy Endorses New Freddy in Nightmare on Elm Street Remake

30 June 2009 2:51 AM, PDT | From Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news

With almost every horror movie franchise being remade recently — Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre to name a few — Nightmare on Elm Street wasn't far behind. Robert Englund has been the only actor to appear in the series as Freddy, the dream-wandering psycho killer until Jackie Earle Haley was cast for the remake. In an interview with FearNet, however, Englund seems perfectly content to not be involved with the new Elm Street and sounds pretty excited about what director Samuel Bayer has in mind:

I really am looking forward to how they exploit the dreamscape with CGI and all of the new technologies that they have at their fingertips. That is something I think that is appropriate and that's what I'm looking forward to. My feeling is that [producer] Michael Bay — this guy has more money than God — would not put his name on this if he didn't have

We're not ones to toot our own horns...heck, who are we kidding, we love to toot, and today we've got something huge to toot about: a new original online series with a killer cast.  Fear Clinic stars horror legend Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger) as Dr. Andover, a maniacal genius whose experimental techniques for curing extreme phobias are probably not covered by your Hmo.
