Danielle Harris Vs Victor Crowley in Hatchet 2

4 December 2009 10:33 AM, PST | HorrorYearbook | See recent HorrorYearbook news »

Rob Zombie may be the best thing that ever happened to Danielle Harris! Harris' (who played "Jamie Lloyd" in Halloween 4 & 5) career has really taken off since Zombie casted her in his remake in 2007. She is currently starring in Fear Clinic with Robert Englund and it has just been announced that she will be going head-to-head with Kane Hodder in Hatchet 2. She will be taking over the role originated by Tamara Feldman in the first film, but what I really want to know is if her breasts will also be making an appearance! Harris did show off her Ta-Tas in Rob Zombie's Halloween, so Adam Green would be a fool not to feature her nude again! We will keep you updated! »

Rob Zombie Speaks Out on 'Hellbilly 2'

3 December 2009 10:02 AM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

In a recent interview with MTV News, Rob Zombie talked frankly about his long-awaited new album Hellbilly Deluxe 2, the delay in the album's release (it was originally set to drop last month), and why his band's not performing too many of the new songs on the current tour… not yet, anyway. Lots of important info below, so flip it over! It was basically Rob's sudden departure from long-time label Geffen Records that forced the change in release plans for Hellbilly Deluxe 2. Now that he's with Roadrunner, the release schedule got moved from November 17 to February 2, despite the fact that Rob and his band – guitarist John 5, bass player Piggy D and Tommy Clufetos on drums – have already embarked... »

Rob Zombie Says New Songs 'Are Connecting In An Amazing Way'

Singer has been touring ahead of Hellbilly Deluxe 2 release because of last-minute label change.

The typical plan for a band with a new album is to drop the single, maybe get a video out there, put the album in stores and then hit the road for a tour. But because of a last-minute decision to move from Geffen Records — the label he had been with since he fronted White Zombie in the early '90s — to Roadrunner, Rob Zombie's new album, Hellbilly Deluxe 2, has been pushed from its intended release date of November 17, 2009, to February 2, 2010, even though Zombie is already on tour.

Though two singles have made their way onto the Internet and radio ("What?" and "Sick Bubble-Gum"), Zombie has refrained from playing much of the new album while on the road. But he hasn't let that get him down. If anything, »

Rob Zombie Brings New Songs, Scares To New York Show

2 December 2009 7:00 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

For a guy who claims he does not like to be the center of attention, Rob Zombie is an impressive showman. At a show Tuesday night (December 1) at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom, Zombie transcended his role as the frontman of a rock band and became a twisted carnival barker, borrowing moves from great metal singers, gilded age illusionists, sideshow hype men and horror film producer Val Lewton. The result was not only 90 minutes of Zombie's patented industrial metal stew but also a fully-realized sight and sound experience.

Following a clip from his recently-released animated film "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto," Zombie stormed the stage to pound out the spooky "What Lurks on Channel X?" before turning up the BPMs for "Superbeast." "I heard that New York was kind of mellow tonight," Zombie taunted between songs, further escalating the already-rabid sentiment among the fans in the pit. With the help »

Eli Roth To Produce Sci-Fi Movie

1 December 2009 3:19 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

Eli Roth, mainstream cinema’s most outrageous goreteur, is taking time out from torturing tourists and killing Nazis, and putting on his producer hat for an alien invasion flick. Described as “Cloverfield-esque”, the film features havoc and mayhem (what else?) when some, er, aliens turn up on Earth and try to kill us (the big meanies). The script is by Ben Magrid.

Most Roth fans are still hoping to see Thanksgiving (white meat, dark meat: all will be carved) Roth’s highly original take on the slasher film. First appearing as the second best trailer (after Rob Zombie’s Werewolf Women of the SS) for the Grindhouse doube-bill, it so captured the imagination of fans, that they demanded he make it.

It’s been a rapid climb for Roth (one-time assistant to David Lynch), and whilst he’s no great actor (like his friend Quentin), his brand of horror has proved highly influential. »

Focus Features: Putting A Bad Year Behind Them

Terrifyingly Gnarly # 19 - Teenage Filmmaker Jd Lifshitz Gets Killed On The 4th Of July

26 November 2009 2:34 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

So it’s April. It’s the Los Angeles stop of this past year’s Fango Weekend of Horrors. In the midst of experiencing L.A. and being so close to this horror industry for the first time, I’m standing at the Fangoria booth just kind of throwing words around with attendees and colleagues, about movies, music, comics and well, geek stuff.

Up to the table comes the young J.D. Lifshitz, who, now 17, was a 16 year old kid in a short sleeved button down, a baseball cap and surprising knowledge of all things horror (it’s nice when the kids have had some history lessons). After high fiving over many joint favorite films and the fact that we’re both from New York, J.D. tells me about his slasher script, which he’s all gung ho that he’ll make. I tell him if he ever gets »

DC Comics Explores the Blackest Night

25 November 2009 11:58 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Marvel Zombies was a heavily promoted event in our comic universe. While the moments within the pages were skillfully worked into the canon of Marvel continuity, it's primarily seen as light, spoofy fun. Now, DC take a turn. Get ready for the Blackest Night!

This event has been going on for some time now, so this article isn’t for those already knee-deep in new comics every week. This is for the rest of you who wouldn’t normally know that dead people across the DC universe are rising from the graves and ripping the hearts out of the ones they loved! Got your attention? We’ll take a look at the comics leading up to complete chaos for the Justice League and nearly everyone they know and identify which books are worth hunting down to complete the big picture and which can be left behind.

Rob Zombie Still Wants To Make Tyrannosaurus Rex

25 November 2009 3:11 PM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

Rob Zombie wants to make a mark for himself outside of the horror genre. Here's more: Zombie, whose real name is Robert Cummings, was attached to 2008's "Punisher: War Zone" until he realized he wasn't interested in directing the action film. He hopes his next film will be another action flick, "Tyrannosaurus Rex," which is about a washed-up boxer who gets into the world of underground fighting after he's released from prison. There has also been talk of Zombie remaking "The Blob." Although it probably won't happen since everyone hated his "Halloween" remake, I think revisiting the "Blob" would be awesome. Here's to inserting white trash characters yelling at each other, and giving the Blob a demystifying, text book serial killer background wherein you see the mound of Jello torturing little animals. The good news is that Zombie says he won't be back for any more "Halloween" movies. [For the record, I think his "Halloween 2" is »

Rob Zombie Wants To Break Away From Horror, Hopes Tyrannosaurus Rex Will Be Next Film

25 November 2009 5:00 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

With four horror pictures under his belt, Rob Zombie is starting to feel that audiences may be pigeonholing him somewhat. Though he's currently on tour and has a new album out at the beginning of February, he's obviously already at work on his potential next projects and is hoping to mount something to break our preconceptions of him a little. So, to that end, he's said once again that he's hopeful his underground fighter  film Tyrannosaurus Rex will be the next Rob Zombie joint out of the pipe and not the Blob remake he's also already attached to. Seeing as the Blob picture has yet to be greenlit, and as far as we know might never be, he could well get his wish. Zombie was telling The Chicago Tribune that he doesn't want to paddle in the horror pool too much right now, saying: If you go down that road too far, »

'Funny People' Takes The Stage, Tom Hanks Finds His 'Demons' And More, In The DVD Report For Nov. 24

24 November 2009 4:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

It's hard to believe, but Judd Apatow, the mega-filmmaker who has changed the face of Hollywood comedy, has only directed three films. Having made his mark in television ("Freaks & Geeks," "Larry Sanders") and some screenwriting, Apatow finally exploded into the theatrical world on the back of 2005's "The 40 Year Old Virgin." "Knocked Up" would follow in 2007, and then in 2009, "Funny People," a decidedly more mature comedy that straddled serious dramatic elements. Now arriving on DVD and Blu-ray, will the pic -- which stars Adam Sandler as a dying comedian who mentors younger upstart Seth Rogen -- finally grab a wider fanbase than it found in cinemas?

"Funny People" features a strong audio and video transfer, and comes in both theatrical and unrated versions. Extras are plentiful as well, with the two-disc edition featuring filmmaker commentary, on-set diaries, gag reels, deleted and extended scenes, featurettes on subjects like stand-up, vintage prank »
