Lia Scott Price – A More Psychotic Level
24 May 2012 7:41 AM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
One of the hottest new trends in horror finds noted authors adapting their books to the medium of comics. Best-sellers like Stephen King, Clive Barker and Laurell K. Hamilton have all seen their work transformed into four-color fear. But the fun isn't strictly limited to household names.
The latest writer to see her scary stories get the graphic novel treatment is indie horror scribe Lia Scott Price. Known by a devoted cult following for her vampire trilogy novel, The Guardian, Revenant, and Dominion, Price has recently jumped to the realm of comic books with a series called Vampire Guardian Angels™.
Like the best horror, Price's work takes a fresh look at a familiar topic. But what sets her writing apart is its use of a universally beloved, sacred symbol as a jumping off point for terror.
"I turned our everyday guardian angels into vicious vampires," Price told me recently. "In the series, »

Cage And Rourke Head For Marble City
17 May 2012 5:02 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
This morning's other Mickey Rourke story sees him teaming up with Nicolas Cage for the action revenge noir Marble City. Director Ryuhei Kitamura promises "vengeance on a road filled with rage, bullets and ultra-violence," in a mash-up of Drive and Kill Bill. Drive Angrier, anyone?Marble City is one of those screenplays that's been knocking around Hollywood for years. Way back in 2006 it was being prepped as a vehicle for Dmx, before he left and was replaced by Ving Rhames. The director at that time was going to be Jim Vickers, a stunt coordinator on movies like Mr & Mrs Smith and Hancock (he was also, alarmingly, "kidnap consultant" on Borat). Since the film failed to come together at that time, Vickers has still yet to make his directorial debut, although he recently shot second unit on The Legends Of Nethiah.Kitamura, who's bagged the job this time around, made the »
Screening Details and Trailer for Clive Barker’s Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut
15 May 2012 2:56 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
This past weekend, it was announced that the extended cut of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed would be screening in Los Angeles this June. Continue reading for more details on The Cabal Cut, a teaser trailer, and information on the screening:
“Ever since it was first released, Clive Barker’s Nightbreed has been the subject of much debate. For nearly twenty years now, there have been stories of more Nightbreed, missing scenes, and special edition releases. These stories have always been conjecture and hearsay. Until now…
In 2009 Seraphim’s Mark Miller contacted Morgan Creek and found out that there may well be more to the Myth than anyone had thought. Two European encoded VHS tapes were discovered and sent to Phil and Sarah Stokes, who run Clive Barker’s website, Revelations. They viewed the tapes and saw what nobody had seen in almost 2 decades; additional Nightbreed footage. Phil and Sarah transferred the footage to DVD and, »

The “Cabal Cut” Of Nightbreed To Screen In Los Angeles June 10th; Trailer Online
13 May 2012 4:09 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
If you haven't heard of Nightbreed, it's Clive Barker's ambitious adaptation of his novel Cabal. It stars David Cronenberg as serial killing psychiatrist Dekker, and Craig Sheffer as his patient Boon, framed for his murders. Shot down by the cops, Boon is resurrected in the secret mythical city of Midian - "where the monsters go" - and joins its denizens as they defend the gates of the city against the "real monsters". It's a decent, underrated, but admittedly uneven movie, spawned from a far superior novel and Epic (remember them?) comic series. Apparently the film was drastically interfered with by its studio (they cut it down to under 90 minutes) and has always been the subject of controversy, and rabid fan speculation as to "what may have been". Now the full 145 minute "Cabal Cut" will screen for the very first time. Here is the story of The Cabal Cut's »

Icons Exclusive Interview: Director Darren Lynn Bousman
11 May 2012 9:46 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
*Editor’s note: This interview originally appeared on Icons Of Fright’s sister site Massive Hysteria back in September of 2010. With this week’s DVD/Blu-Ray releases of both Mother’S Day and 11-11-11, we thought we’d present it again to the Icons audience completely unedited and uncut. Check it!
Considering director Darren Lynn Bousman’s impressive body of work, which spans over 3 Saw sequels, the crazy rock musical Repo! The Genetic Opera, an episode of NBC’s short lived Fear Itself TV series and the upcoming remake of Mother’S Day, it’s a surprise that we never got him in the hot seat for an extensive Icons Of Fright interview. So, with the launch of Massive Hysteria, we decided that he would make for the ideal interviewee to kick things off in style!
Bousman invited Mh over to his place for our career spanning lengthy chat, »

6 May 2012 11:07 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
If you’re going to Kapow Comic Con then keep your eye out for independent creator, publisher and overall sicko, Adam Cheal. He’ll be showing off his controversial series, Zyklon B, which bursts into life with issue #1 later this month.
Here’s a sneak preview of Zyklon B, and a taste of what to expect from both the comic and its creator.
Simon Fisher is wrongly executed in the gas chamber at San Quentin. Using the power of the occult he is ‘saved’ when his physical form is mutated into the gas that takes his life – Hydrogen Cyanide – better known as Zyklon B. Simon, now living devoid of form and substance, is out for revenge on those who framed him…
Simon Fisher is pissed, and he’s made of poisonous gas. He’s not going to pull any punches, and neither does the comic itself, attracting controversy from the »

Cassadaga DVD review
2 May 2012 1:38 PM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
The latest in the line of direct-to-dvd horror movies from the After Dark stable is a supernatural/torture porn hybrid called Cassadaga.
Having seen a few of their ‘Originals’ (link to previous reviews, Scream Of The Banshee and The Task, I wasn’t expecting much - however this was a little more coherent and even contained some scares. Whether this is down to the fact that it wasn’t made by a newbie (director Anthony Diblasi previously made the Clive Barker adaptation Dread) I can’t say, but it certainly felt more like a ‘real’ film.
Cassadaga stars Kelen Coleman as Lily, a deaf art teacher who loses her younger sister in a car accident in the early stages of the film. Spurred on by this tragic event Lily decides to enrol in a course at Cassadaga University and finds board at the house of an old lady named Claire »
Review: Penumbra
1 May 2012 8:43 AM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
Penumbra is a paranoid thriller in the mode of Rosemary’s Baby and Repulsion, with a decidedly darkly comic streak that manages to unsettle and frustrate in equal measure. The film is an Argentinean film from the Bogliano brothers, recently released in a small number of theaters and now available on VOD.
Marga (Cristina Brondo) is a workaholic who has taken time from her increasingly busy job to show an apartment she owns in hopes of renting it. When the man she has agreed to show the apartment to offers her four times the worth of the place, she reluctantly agrees on the spot, with only one caveat: they must wait for this mysterious tenant to show up to look at it. After shuffling around an appointment to secure the rental, strange things begin to happen around her. Is it due to the impending eclipse she keeps hearing about? Who »

SyFy Channel to Adapt Stephen King's 'The Eyes of the Dragon' (Wow!)
24 April 2012 3:10 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Like most horror freaks of a certain age (and younger), I grew up on a steady diet of Stephen King horror novels. (Yes, also Clive Barker and Robert McCammon, but we're getting off-base here.) But then in 1987 I grabbed his latest book, which was a fantasy story that Mr. King wrote for his daughter, Tabitha. It was (and still is) called The Eyes of the Dragon, and it's a book I've re-read at least three times over the years. According to Entertainment Weekly's Inside TV, the adaptation will be penned by Michael Taylor and Jeff Vintar (I, Robot, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within). Mr. Taylor has written for just about every science-fiction TV series out there, plus he does have some experience with Kingly adaptations: he produced and wrote several episodes of the...

Time Out Poll: "The 100 best horror films"
14 April 2012 1:58 AM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Time Out London's "100 best horror films" blowout is more than a list; it's a microsite unto itself: "We polled well over 100 horror enthusiasts — with big names like Roger Corman, Guillermo del Toro, Simon Pegg, Clive Barker and Alice Cooper, and horror legends like Coffin Joe, Kim Newman and Tom Six — and came up with a definitive top 100 list." Click on those names to see the individual ballots. "The result may surprise you: while the top ten may be stuffed with big hitters, the full list is wonderfully unpredictable and packed with oddball leftfield choices."
A couple of notes on the top five:
The Exorcist (1973). Tom Huddleston calls up William Friedkin: "To be frank with you, [writer] Bill Blatty and I never set out to make a horror film. The idea never crossed our minds." Tol's notes; and take a look at the storyboards at OutNow (scroll down).

‘The Cabin In The Woods’ Feedback from Readers of the Site!
13 April 2012 7:12 AM, PDT | Destroy the Brain | See recent Destroy the Brain news »
This past Monday, Destroy the Brain invited some lucky readers of the site to go see The Cabin in the Woods before its theatrical release. Since I was a huge fan – and I think you will be to when you see it – of the film, I wanted to hear back from the people that went to see it. While we didn’t hear from everyone who went, a few readers were kind enough to lend us some feedback in what they thought. I gave the film a 10/10 review (read here). Rarely do I give those types of scores out so, I’ll be honest, it got me a little self conscious. But, I firmly believed in my review so that is why the rating still stands.
Here are some of the people’s feedback after they saw the film on Monday.
Lauren Halvorson says:
(The) Cabin in the Woods was fantastic and completely unexpected. »

Clive Barker's Plans for the Future: More Books and TV Projects
9 April 2012 8:55 AM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »
Writer, film-maker and artist Clive Barker may be in for a return to the public eye in more ways than one. After his near-death experience while in a coma—induced from a toxic shock during a visit to the dentist early February—he is back. After a few weeks of rest, he is ready to take the world by storm again.
The news of "Cabal" (aka "Nightbreed") being developed for cable television is as exciting as having sex with a female cenobite. Some may not want it, but the pleasure and pain will be exquisite. The movie was widely panned and many cuts were made. The latter contributed to distorting what this filmmaker wanted.
And just maybe, after his real life trip to the “dark side,” he may inject a new form of night terror into this tale about how humans and monsters should get along. The amount of time »

Join Occupy Midian and the Push for a Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut Release!
6 April 2012 10:05 AM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Not that long ago, a copy of Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut was unearthed - the long-thought-missing version of Clive Barker's film which has been making the rounds on the convention circuit. The push to see this extended cut has been called "Occupy Midian" and is growing by the day.
North Carolina's Mad Monster Party played host to this incarnation and, according to Seraphim Films' Mark Miller, "With the help of Russell Cherrington, we assembled a composite cut of Nightbreed in house. As you likely know, a few years ago we found some VHS copies of Mark Goldblatt's original dubs of Nighbreed. Well, Russell came up with the brilliant idea of taking those tapes and editing them into the official WB DVD of Nightbreed. The end result was a http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/nightbreed/film with a running time of 2 hours 35 minutes. After that, we made some mixing tweaks, »
