While we’e been covering many of the Scream Factory releases for our Us readers, Arrow Video has been releasing horror classics in the UK for a while now and they recently announced their next set of Blu-ray releases. Take a look at release details, cover art, and bonus features for The Fall of the House of Usher, Lifeforce, Deranged, and Squirm. We’ve also included details for Motel Hell, which we covered earlier this week.
Motel Hell: “It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent fritters!” cackle the brother-and-sister team behind the finest smoked meats in the county. They also run the friendly Motel Hello (the ‘o’ in the neon sign sometimes goes on the blink), and no matter how many times you’ve seen Psycho or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you can be sure that everything will be perfectly above board here as Vincent »

Sequels are awesome, plain and simple. Returning to familiar characters and worlds we love is like covering yourself with a warm blanket, although when a sequel is bad it can be like a blanket covered in potato bugs and lice. Studios love sequels because seven times out of ten they open huge, no matter how good they are.
With that in mind, here's 50 of your favorite titles all preparing to get new installments. Some of them are deep into pre-production while others have barely gotten out of the pitch stages, but you'll be salivating at the thought of some of these sweet babies finally making their way to the screen.

Status: The law of diminishing returns seems to have caught up to Paramount's annual license to print money, and even though the last "Paranormal" grossed half its predecessor, producer Jason Blum is gonna »

It is often said that the greatest auteurs make films not because they want to but because they have to – it's as natural and essential as breathing. In December 2010 the Iranian maestro Jafar Panahi was banned from making movies and sentenced to six years in prison for creating "propaganda against the Islamic republic", a judgment that sparked outrage around the world.
While awaiting the outcome of an appeal, Panahi was visited in his home by his friend Mojtaba Mirtahmasb, who filmed Panahi wandering through his apartment, feeding his pet iguana, reflecting on scenes from his past movies and describing the latest script that he had been refused permission to shoot – the story of a young girl accepted for university but locked in her house by her zealous father.

On Thursday evening at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills, the Academy invited movie fans to join in the celebration of the work of this year’s Oscar nominees in the Animated Feature Film category. Although not pictured above, director Tim Burton was on hand for the panel discussion hosted by actor Rob Riggle (Hotel Transylvania, Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax).
The nominees discussed how their films were developed, talked about their creative processes, and presented clips illustrating their techniques. All were adamant in saying that animated films are not cartoons and that there is place for both stop-motion and CGI in the genre.
The Animated Feature Film nominees are:
Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman
This is the second nomination for Mark Andrews and the first in this category. He made his feature directorial debut with Brave.
After interning at Disney, Andrews worked as a story-board artist on several films. »

With the DVD release of Frankenweenie just a few days away, we thought it was a great time to share this movie timeline for the cult director Tim Burton. Many saw this latest outing, a return to his literal first days into the feature film world, as a step back towards his glory days and many of us here at Thn agree that the stop-motion animation sparked life back into his career.
The chart takes us from that original short in 1984 and then onto Vincent, Beetlejuice, Batman, Edwards Scissorhands and beyond! Take a look below, let us know what you think and remember that Frankenweenie releases on 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD 25th February. You can place your pre-order now via this link and here’s fascinating timeline:

As anyone with even a passing interest in film production knows, the path from a screenplay’s inception to an actual film being shown for audiences around the world is often tumultuous at best. There are dozens of storie out there – both triumphant and traumatic – of excruciating film production periods, where the final film that emerges bares only a passing resemblance to what the creators had originally envisioned.
There are other cases where a story never even gets that far, and the film languishes in what is candidly referred to as “development hell,” usually before being cancelled and forgotten completely.
So which films floundered in pre-production before going belly-up and disappearing from the hearts and minds of their studios and filmmakers? What are the stories and cinematic experiences that we, the viewers, will never get the chance to experience?
Here are the 10 cancelled films that sounded like the they had »
