31 May 2012 3:48 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
As Ridley Scott’s Prometheus arrives in cinemas, returning to the world he first created in Alien, and with Agent J and K back for another Men in Black outing that is tearing up the box office right now, it’s time to look back at What Culture’s top ten Sci-fi films featuring aliens!
The only criteria for the list is that the movie features aliens somewhere. Enjoy!
10 – District 9
As well as being responsible for bringing Lord Of The Rings to the cinema screens, Peter Jackson was also half of the team behind one of the greatest aliens-living-on-our-planet films ever; District 9.

17 May 2012 11:16 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
"I met him…15 years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes...the devil's eyes."
"I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply ... evil." –Dr. Sam Loomis (Halloween, written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill)
There is an upper echelon of horror directors that fans of the genre hold in a sacred reverence. Rightfully at the top of the list are the filmmakers who created the most iconic and memorable of our favorite films. One could argue that just the fact that John Carpenter created Halloween would put him into »

After giving fans so many horror stories to fall in love with for over 30 years now, there's not much that hasn't already been said a million times regarding John Carpenter's contributions to our beloved genre, which is why for Indie Horror Month we decided to let the man speak for himself.
Last month Dread Central headed over to Carpenter's office for an exclusive video interview with the iconic filmmaker, and during our chat we heard from him on a multitude of topics ranging from his earliest film - Dark Star - to his latest directorial effort - The Ward - and pretty much everything else that has happened in between.
In Part One of our video interview, Carpenter talks about his experiences working on his early independent horror features including Dark Star, Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween and The Fog as well as more on his transition to the »

Dread Center and yours truly caught up with filmmaker Greg Beville this week to get the lowdown on Blackstar Canyon, an indie horror feature currently in pre-production which he wrote and will direct. Read on for the first details.
“We plan on shooting mid-summer 2012 in Newhall, California, on the Red Epic,” said Beville of the status of Blackstar Canyon, which is set to star Halloween series vet Danielle Harris as well as actors Brian Krause, Tiny Lister, Tippi Hedren (The Birds) and Belinda Balaski (The Howling). “The cinematographer will be Ricardo Gale (Touching Home),” Beville continued, “and Ty Mitchell ("Andy" in John Carpenter’s The Fog) will serve as camera operator.”
Having previously scripted the upcoming feature The Night Watch for Electric Cobalt Entertainment - the production house behind Blackstar Canyon - Beville described the latter as “a cross between Darabont’s The Mist and Repo Man, where hillbilly werewolves meet Hindu mythology. »
