10 Incredibly Sexy Stripper Scenes That Floored Us All
13 June 2013 9:05 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Other than Disneyland what’s the greatest place in the world? It’s a place where woman will do just about anything for a few dollars. That’s right; strip clubs.
On the same note strippers are American heroes. I can’t think of any other profession that I respect more, maybe adult film stars (I’m a pig, I know). Seeing as though real life strippers usually aren’t that glamorous we’re going to take a look at some of the greatest movie stripper’s scenes that blew us all away.
Now seeing as though I am a heterosexual male, don’t expect to see any Magic Mike or Full Monty entries on this list. This is strictly the hottest female movie strippers that we would empty our wallets for.
Let’s begin…..

35th Anniversary ‘Halloween’ Blu-Ray with New Commentary & Supervised by Cundey
12 June 2013 9:09 PM, PDT | Destroy the Brain | See recent Destroy the Brain news »
Anyone who knows me personally knows that I’m a Halloween fanatic. I have every release of the film on DVD. I also have a Beta tape of the film (I’m not selling it, don’t ask) and that nice VHS box set with the blood globe as well as the black 2-vhs set. I have spent hundreds of dollars on Myers masks…ok, you get it. 2013 is the 35th anniversary of Halloween and those notorious double dippers at Anchor Bay are getting ready to have us bust out our wallets again. However, at least it doesn’t seem like a double dip of re-hashed bonus features.
Dread Central dropped some information in the past two days about how John Carpenter & Jamie Lee Curtis just recorded a new commentary for the upcoming disc and then today, they stated that they learned that Dean Cundey, the director of photography, will be supervising the transfer. »

Dean Cundey Will Supervise Halloween 35th Anniversary Blu-ray
11 June 2013 3:56 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Well then, this is certainly some more good news when it comes to Anchor Bay's upcoming 35th anniversary Blu-ray of John Carpenter's Halloween.
Last week we told you that Anchor Bay was prepping another Halloween Blu-ray and that director John Carpenter has reunited with star Jamie Lee Curtis to record a new commentary track. Today we got word that the film's cinematographer, Dean Cundey, will be supervising the new HD transfer.
This is great news for anyone who considers the more recent Halloween transfers to have been lacking that certain special something. We'll keep you updated, but this latest news already makes the disc a must-own.
Halloween stars Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, Nancy Kyes, P.J. Soles, and Charles Cyphers and tells the tale of a psychotic murderer institutionalized since childhood who escapes on a mindless rampage while his doctor chases him through the streets.

Five Remakes That Are Just as Good (If Not Better) Than the Original Versions!!
10 June 2013 11:46 AM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Most horror fans can agree with the opinion that most remakes that are thrown to the masses on a regular basis these days never quite have the same impact as the original versions. While a couple of decades ago, remakes seem to have had more focus and weren’t such a taboo thing for fans (John Carpenter’s The Thing and Chuck Russell’s The Blob are two example of remakes done brilliantly right). These days good remakes (or “re-imaginings” as the studios like to say) are harder to come by, for every dozen A Nightmare On Elm Street-class remakes (yikes) there is usually only one Let Me In (while not perfect, it was pretty fun).
I thought it’d be fun to choose a few of my favorite remakes and write a bit about each one and why they are either as good as or in rare case, »

Anchor Bay Preparing 35th Anniversary Halloween Blu-ray!
6 June 2013 1:10 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
The greatest horror film of all time turns 35 this year, and Anchor Bay has something brewing that already sounds like a “must own” release. John Carpenter’s Halloween is set to receive a 35th year anniversary Blu-ray release courtesy of Anchor Bay, and they’ve revealed that Carpenter has reunited with Jamie Lee Curtis for a brand new commentary track!
No street date or additional extras have been announced yet, but I’m assuming/hoping a bevy of features are included along with a new transfer that reinstates cinematographer Dean Cundey’s signature blue hue. Stay tuned over at the Halloweenmovies Facebook page for more details as they come in!

Watch: One-Hour Doc Follows John Carpenter's Prolific Horror Career
6 June 2013 10:51 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
It's impossible to talk about horror films, specifically the slasher genre, without mentioning director John Carpenter, the man behind the classic Halloween. Plus, the filmmaker made waves with his remake of The Thing and cult classics like They Live. Though the later years of his career haven't offered much in the vein of quality, there's no denying the man's influence over horror, and filmmakers in general, working today. So how about taking a look back at Carpenter's prolific career with an hour-long documentary called John Carpenter: Fear Is Just The Beginning. It's from 2004, but it's still very interesting. Watch it! Here's John Carpenter: Fear Is Just The Beginning via The Film Stage: Complete with interviews from collaborators like Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween), Kurt Russell (Escape from New York) and the equally influential horror filmmaker George Romero, this is a truly fascinating look at a filmmaker who is usually private, »

John Carpenter’s Halloween is due for a 35th anniversary blu-ray release, but no one seems to be sure when, or from whom, it is coming.

Watch: 1-Hour 2004 Documentary 'John Carpenter: Fear Is Just The Beginning...The Man And His Movies'
6 June 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
There is no doubt that John Carpenter is already one of the titans of genre filmmaking, and one whose influence is still being felt today, even if his most recent efforts haven't quite matched his career highs. But really, getting into the same ballpark of movies like "Dark Star," "Halloween," "Assault On Precinct 13," "The Thing," "They Live" and more is no easy feat. And the fact that Carpenter is the man who made all those movies himself (and more), is frankly a testament to his talent. Well, get ready to celebrate that talent with the 1-hour documentary "John Carpenter: Fear Is Just The Beginning... The Man And His Movies." The 2004 film is a nice journey not only through his films, but through the life of Carpenter, from the days before his making movies to tracking his rise and more. Featuring interviews with key cast members (it kicks off with Jamie Lee Curtis, »

Original Halloween VHS Goes for Big Money on eBay
4 June 2013 11:35 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
In news that makes me sick to my stomach (mainly because I owned this), the original 1979 VHS tape of John Carpenter's classic Halloween from Media Home Entertainment has sold for an astronomical $13,220 (plus $3.77 shipping of course).
The sale ended on May 31st, and the item's description follows... "This is a Halloween Media VHS tape. What you see in the picture (below) is what you get if you decide to bid and win it."
Bidding started at $20.99, lasted seven days and garnered 52 bids in total among three different bidders, one of whom bid it up to $200.00 by himself, followed by another user who brought the bid up to an uncontested $1,000.00. Suspicious? Yeah, the bidding history on the item seems a little fishy, that's for sure.

Hollywood Myths: Jamie Lee Curtis Was Born a Hermaphrodite
4 June 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Some myths have a greater shelf life than others. From the salacious to the downright nasty, Hollywood has been the source of a lot of compelling fiction, and we're here to set the record straight about how one juicy bit of hearsay snowballs into a big fat whopper of a lie.
Today's tawdry tidbit involves actress/ children's book author/ "True Lies" hottie Jamie Lee Curtis and whether or not she was born with some extra equipment … you know, down there? Without inciting some crazy "birther movement" for her to reveal her birth certificate to the press, we'll delve into this rumor with as much grace as the Internet will allow.
History
On November 22, 1958 a future scream queen, Baroness of Haden-Guest and Golden Globe winner named Jamie Lee Curtis came bouncing into the world at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Hollywood, California. She was the second daughter of power couple Tony Curtis »

Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween and More: Horror Video Games that Time Forgot
31 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Licensed games are always an iffy discussion over here at FEARnet. For every game that does justice to its cinematic source material (Chronicles of Riddick, The Walking Dead: The Video Game), there is a seemingly endless supply of dubious cash-ins that use their cross-media inspiration to help push mediocre products (The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct). Sadly, this practice is nothing new, as horror movies’ inherently taboo nature made them prime for adaptation to the video game market even in the industry’s infancy. Let’s take a glaring look back at some of the earliest adaptations of movies to microchips…the Lost Licenses!
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Atari 2600)
Home video game consoles were still in their very first generation when The Texas Chainsaw Massacre hit the Atari 2600. Tobe Hooper’s grimy classic offered plenty of gruesome scares and unsettling images that stuck with the viewer long after the last reel had finished, »
