Review: The Theatre Bizarre (DVD)
7 May 2012 9:18 AM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
In the tradition of movies like George Romero’s Creepshow, Trilogy of Terror and Asylum comes The Theatre Bizarre, a collection of six short films with plenty of blood to fling around, but sadly not much else. The film opens with a woman who enters an abandoned theater and encounters Udo Kier, playing an automaton host who introduces these six stories to an audience of just one.
Mother of Toads is the first story, presenting a nod to Lovecraft transplanted to France. Catriona MacColl plays a street vendor who entices a young man with the promise of getting his hands on a copy of the fabled Necronomicon. He takes the bait, leaving his girlfriend behind at their hotel and discovers too late that he must pay for his curiosity. The short seems to be inspired in part by the film The Maze, one of the first 3-D horror films that »

New Trailer for Ombis; Interview with Special Effects Artist Phill Beith
4 May 2012 10:31 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Production on Ombis is in full swing, and there's lots of new stuff to share: Teaser Trailer #2, a video interview with makeup FX artist Phill Beith, and a photo from The Buffalo Comic & Pop Culture Con with John Amplas, star of George A. Romero’s Martin, Creepshow, and Dawn of the Dead.
Ombis is currently a quarter of the way through filming, and the cast and crew have been traveling around the Western New York area gathering interest in the film, which is how they met up with Amplas, a particularly special encounter for the film's director Adam R. Steigert, as it was Romero's Dawn that inspired him to go into the film business.
Synopsis:
DefTone Pictures Studios’ Ombis is a 1950's styled sci-fi movie set in modern times. It's the tale of an invasion of an alien virus which lands via meteorite in the small town of Metzburgh. Metzburgh »

Check Out The Cuddly-Scary Poster For 'The ABCs of Death'
4 April 2012 10:36 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Entertainment Weekly has just debuted the poster for September's ambitious horror anthology "The ABCs of Death," which corrals twenty-six directors (among them Ti West, Ben Wheatley, and Nacho Vigalondo) and has them each tackle a way to die. But instead of going with the obvious – maybe a collage of stills from the movies – the poster goes in the complete opposite direction, with a baby in the middle of the image that wouldn't be out of place in those obnoxious E*Trade ads.
Of course the baby is surrounded by a presumed "angel of death," its raveny wings outstretched, holding a book of the "ABCs of Death." Oh now we get it! Entertainment Weekly explains that Kaare Andrews, a comic book artist and writer who is prepping his feature film debut (a "Cabin Fever" prequel, undoubtedly going direct-to-video, called "Patient X"), designed the poster, which makes sense given that the angel »

From Father’s Day to figurine – Creepshow’s Mr Grantham!
1 April 2012 2:07 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Shrunken Head Studios have announced the (very) limited edition release of a 1:6 scale collectible figure of the decomposing Mr. Grantham from the classic George Romero & Stephen King collaboration Creepshow. The figure comes with a 30 point articulated body, a film accurate sculpt of Mr Grantham’s rotten old mug, hands, chest and shoes – complete with posable jaw.
And the pièce de résistance… a healthy helping of “cake”. (or in this case Aunt Sylvia’s head) Complete with seven candles, frosting and serving tray! Just check out the pics:

Here Are the Four Stephen King Stories That Will Appear in the Anthology Flick 'The Reaper's Image'
16 March 2012 11:45 AM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
It’s been over two decades since we’ve had a theatrically-released anthology film based on Stephen King stories (Cat’s Eye and the two Creepshow films were released way back in the ‘80s), but that’s about to change. Mark Pavia is hard at work on an all new anthology film featuring tales of terror from the master of horror, and blog The Fire Wire has the inside scoop on what titles we can expect when the film is finally released. The new project, entitled The Reaper’s Image, is set to feature a little something for everyone. Packing in four of King’s tales, the goal is to mix the author’s modern work with stories from earlier in his career. Two of the featured spine-tinglers were chosen by Pavia, two by King. Here are the selections...

'Halloween 3D' Stalled, Michael Myers Inconsolable
8 March 2012 12:23 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
"My Bloody Valentine" and "Drive Angry 3D" collaborators Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer wrote the script for "Halloween 3D," which was slated for this fall, except Dimension Films' Michael Myers tale has been killed off for now.
The 3D entry in the popular slasher franchise has been bumped from the box office schedule with no news of a future release date. The story picked up after Rob Zombie's "Halloween II" film and centered on Laurie Strode in a mental hospital. Supposedly there was a lead part for "Creepshow" actor Tom Atkins.
Michael might be stopped for now, but there's more terror waiting for you past the break in this week's Horror Bites.

Kristen Bell, Lily Collins, Logan Lerman and Others Added to Cast of ‘Writers’; Stephen King Making Cameo
8 March 2012 11:13 AM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Variety reports that Writers, a drama which set Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly in the lead roles back in January, has staked out the rest of its primary cast — and, to the surprise of yours truly, it’s actually pretty solid. In no particular order, Kristen Bell, Lily Collins, Logan Lerman, Nat Wolff, Liana Liberato, Rusty Joiner, and Patrick Schwarzenegger (his dad is famous) are throwing their acting hats into the ring for writer-director Josh Boone. Stephen King is making a cameo, too, hopefully to recite one of those Entertainment Weekly articles about how he hates cycling through channels on his TV.
Telling “the stories of family members and their love interests over the course of one tumultuous year,” Kinnear will star as “a famous novelist obsessed with his ex-wife (Connelly),” while Collins will play “their collegiate daughter who’s pursued by a fellow writing student (Lerman)”; Wolff will appear »

Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel: George A. Romero
10 February 2012 1:25 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
"They're coming to get you, Barbra. There's one of them now!" And with those words, it began. The zombie apocalypse, whether it's in Pennsylvania, Atlanta, or anywhere else in the world, originated in the Evans City Cemetery 30 miles north of Pittsburgh in Night of the Living Dead when Bill Hinzman shuffled into frame.
As we sadly say farewell to Hinzman, zombie infected patient zero (and also Josephine Streiner who greatly contributed to the film), we honor the man who single-handedly began the undead infestation: the great George A. Romero.
As influential as all our favorite directors have been ... Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper ... it's arguable that no one has brought more to the horror genre than Romero. Sure, each of these directors gave us some iconic character, no less than Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers and Leatherface, but Romero gave us zombies. Not a specific zombie (although Bub from Day of the Dead »

'The Theatre Bizarre' Review
30 January 2012 5:08 PM, PST | MoreHorror | See recent MoreHorror news »
by Colleen Wanglund, MoreHorror.com
While I’ve seen more than a few indie horror anthologies of late—some good, others forgettable—the anthology film seems to be making a comeback. Like the classic George Romero/Stephen King Creepshow (1982) and the impending The ABCs Of Death due out later this year, The Theatre Bizarre (2011) is one of those films that lives up to its buzz….and fans’ expectations. Six shorts linked by framing scenes make up The Theatre Bizarre, a film being distributed by Severin Films.
The film’s opening and framing segments, directed by Jeremy Kasten (Wizard Of Gore {2007}) titled “Theatre Guignol” star the wonderfully bizarre Udo Kier as a life-size marionette and story teller in an abandoned theater. Virginia Newcomb plays a young woman obsessed with the old theater, who sneaks into it one fateful night to hear the strange stories. Throughout the segments are a cast of weird, »

Horror legend Tom Savini directs and co-stars in Wet Dreams for this horror anthology, in theaters at Midnight, January 27th
Down a seedy city street, a young woman is obsessed with what appears to be a long abandoned theatre. One night, she sees the front door slightly ajar and impulsively decides to sneak inside. But there in the vast, eerie auditorium, a show unlike any other unfolds before her eyes. Its host is an odd marionette-like man who will introduce her to six tales of the bizarre: A couple traveling in a remote part of the French Pyrenees crosses paths with a lustful witch; A paranoid lover faces the wrath of a partner who has been pushed to her limit; The Freudian dreams of an unfaithful husband blur the lines between fantasy and reality; The horrors of the real world are interpreted through the mind of a child; A woman »

'You wanna see something really scary?': How anthology movies became horror's hot new trend
18 January 2012 8:22 AM, PST | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
New horror movie anthology The Theatre Bizarre caused something of a ruckus when it screened at a film festival in Oldenburg, Germany, last September. The specific source of said ruckus? A segment called “Vision Stains” in which a young woman uses a hypodermic needle to transfer fluid from the eyeballs of her murder victims to her own ocular apparatus so she can “see” their memories.
“It was the first festival we played that wasn’t a genre festival,” says David Gregory, who produced the film and directed one of the segments, along with Richard Stanley (Hardware), Douglas Buck, and the “Vision Stains” -making Karim Hussein, »

Stephen King Reteams With ‘Night Flier’ Director for Anthology Horror Film
5 January 2012 12:20 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
It seems like Stephen King publishes books more often than the average person changes a Brita filter, and the big screen adaptations are coming just as fast.
Along with an upcoming Carrie remake (which just a nabbed a director in Stop Loss helmer, Kimberly Peirce), it also was reported that writer/director Mark Pavia plans to collaborate with the Master of Horror on a Creepshow-like feature film based on four of the author’s short stories.
This is the second King work Pavia has brought to the big screen, the first being the 1997 vampire tale, Night Flier. Though there’s no word yet on which stories will be showcased, Pavia said that two of the stories will be chosen by him, while the other two will be chosen by King.
But how does one choose from such an insanely large literary canon? On the story criteria, Pavia said that »

Pavia Directs Stephen King Anthology Film
5 January 2012 10:54 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Mark Pavia is scripting an all-new anthology feature film of Stephen King works, something we haven't really seen since "Creepshow" and "Cat's Eye" in the 80's.
Pavia tells Icons of Fright that "Steve chose two of the stories and I chose two — the selection a perfect mixture of classic and contemporary King, a little bit of something for his oldest and newest fans alike. It will be a true representation of his different personas, his varied styles and voices throughout the years. Everything from the horror showman at his pulpiest to his most introverted and introspective character pieces, which can also be his most frightening."
Pavia previously directed the 1997 adaptation of King's "The Night Flier" about a journalist that tracks a vampire pilot. »

There’s a new Stephen King horror anthology movie on the way
5 January 2012 9:33 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Fans of Stephen King short stories rejoice: a new anthology film based on the author’s work could be heading our way soon…
Ah, horror anthology movies – they’re cinema’s equivalent of a scary Kellogg’s Variety Pack. Offering a selection of short and sharp horror tales, the better examples – from Amicus’ brilliant Dr Terror’s House Of Horrors to 2007’s underrated, direct-to-dvd Trick ‘R Treat – offer something for everyone, even if the package as a whole can sometimes be a little uneven.
As one of horror literature’s most famous and prolific scribes, Stephen King has himself been sporadically involved in the horror anthology subgenre, having written the stories for Creepshow and its first sequel (released in 1982 and 1987 respectively), as well as 1985’s Cat’s Eye.
Now, director Mark Pavia has revealed that he’s working on a new horror anthology film based on King’s work, and »
New Stephen King Anthology Movie From “Night Flier” Director
4 January 2012 8:55 PM, PST | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Stephen King is the master of many things, most notable the macabre, and nobody would argue that he is the master of the anthology. Whether we are talking film (Creepshow, Creepshow 2), or print (Night Shift, Nightmares And Dreamscapes), King certainly has a knack for cooking up devilishly eclectic spooky stews. Today, Icons of Fright announced a new film anthology in the works from director Mark Pavia. Pavia is known to Kingophiles as director of New Line/HBO’s criminally neglected 1997 airport vamp film The Night Flier, based on King’s 1993 short story of the same name.
According to Icons of Fright, King and Pavia worked closely together on the project, each of them choosing two King shorts, reportedly a mix of new and old stories. While exact story details are not yet available, Pavia’s Facebook update on New Year’s day reveals he is, “”…writing about churning storm clouds, »

Mark Pavia Directing New King Anthology
4 January 2012 7:29 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
It's 25 years since Creepshow 2 drew a line under a brief run of Stephen King portmanteau movies (which also included Creepshow and Cat's Eye; there was a Creepshow 3 in 2006, but King wasn't involved). A new anthology of movie-ised King short stories is now on the way though, courtesy of writer/director Mark Pavia.Pavia has King previous, having directed The Night Flier, starring Miguel Ferrer, back in 1995. Since then he's been battling through development hell on any number of projects: for a time he was attached to the remakes both of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Dawn Of The Dead, and he wrote an early treatment of Clive Barker's The Midnight Meat Train. He also collaborated with King on a Night Flier sequel in 2005, but while the film never happened, the experience was clearly a happy one, leading to this new project, which has King's involvement."Steve agreed to the film right away, »
