Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel: A Tribute to John Carpenter
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 »

5 Things We Want To See In Red Dwarf X
29 April 2012 8:04 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Now that we’ve seen the first teaser image (above) from the much-anticipated Red Dwarf X, here’s the five things we most want to see from the show’s return…
5. The Boys Need To Be Back On Red Dwarf
Skip the cobbles, we don’t want no earth adventuring, let’s go back to the roots . The premise that created red dwarf in the first place, one guy 3million years in the future trying to get back to earth. Back to the bunks and dreary grey walls is where we want them to be, wandering the corridors of the mining ship. The Dwarfers have probably explored more of the Galaxy itself than they have of the ship. Who’s to say there’s not an army of Simulants on deck 63? Or a small Cat Civilization hidden amongst one of the cargo bays?
Get the boys wandering through the big red can, »

John Carpenter's 'Christine' Roars into the New Beverly
24 April 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Christine is one of the more overlooked works of two horror icons' oeuvres. For John Carpenter's film adaptation the killer car novel came between his better known works The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China, just as Stephen King's novel came between the master scribe's more acclaimed books Different Seasons and The Dead Zone. But you can you see for yourself if Christine deserves a little more love than she's received over the years, when the film version screens at La's New Beverly Theater this Saturday at 11:59 Pm. More after the jump. Christine will be hosted by Horror Movie a Day's Brian Collins, who says of John Carpenter's film, »

Bertrand Chamayou Liszt: Anneés de Pèlerinage (Naïve)
The musical harvest of last year’s Liszt bicentennial continues even now; this young French pianist (who already, six years ago, gave us an excellent cycle of the Transcendental Etudes) celebrated it by presenting this mighty collection, which amounts to three cycles, in single concerts and then recording this three-cd set. For decades Lazar Berman’s set for Deutsche Grammophon has set the standard in this repertoire for an integral set, but Chamayou equals it.
Berman’s primary assets, besides his sterling technical skills, are the fiery drama and monumental breadth with which he infused these mighty works. His total time for all three cycles is nearly 26 minutes longer than Chamayou's. The Frenchman by contrast leans towards the music's poetic side and plays with a lighter touch, though when the occasion demands power (the climaxes of "Sposalizio" and "Apres une lecture du Dante »

Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel: A Tribute to Stephen King Part 2
6 April 2012 3:32 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
"My name is Anne Wilkes. And I am..." "I know," he said. "You're my number-one fan." "Yes," she said, smiling. "That's just what I am."
How many times had Stephen King heard that from his millions of number-one fans before he finally turned the obsessive love of his Constant Readers into the subject of one of his most memorable, horrific and claustrophobic works, Misery? Before taking a short break to honor Debbie Rochon and The Blair Witch Project with Tips of the Scalpel for Indie Horror Month, we brought you Stephen King, Part 1. Now we're back to continue the story with Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel: Stephen King, Part 2: The 80's.
The start of King's career was prolific, beginning with Carrie, Salem's Lot and The Shining, but the incredible amount of legendary horror that King produced throughout his life is simply mind-boggling. King created nearly two-dozen stories that »

‘Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo’ – A Fairytale Romance Between Car and Car
2 April 2012 11:14 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Written By Arthur Alsberg and Don Nelson, based on the novel Car, Boy, Girl by Gordon Buford
Directed By Vincent McEveety
USA, 1977, imdb
Listen to our Mousterpiece Cinema Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo podcast or read Josh‘s extended thoughts about the film.
*****
From the time that “Disney’s Folly” paid off and the first-ever animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, became a hit, Disney (the company that Walt created) has been in the business of telling fairy tales. What we sometimes forget is that fairy tales can be stories that reassure children, but also stories that scare the bejeezus out of them. Case in point, the first film that I ever saw: Walt Disney’s Bambi, a film that also terrified Stephen King as a child.
The Herbie series is much more on the reassuring side of the spectrum than the scary side, »

Looks like we're going to get a new Stephen King anthology horror film! The movie will be called Stephen King's The Reaper's Image, which is the title of one of the stories. Mark Pavia (The Night Flier) is set to direct the movie, which will include four different story adaptations from the master of horror. Those stories include, The Reaper's Image, Mile 81, N., and The Monkey. Two of these were chosen by Pavia and two were chosen by King. Below, you'll find a description of each of the stories.
The Reaper’s Image:
This story was first published in Startling Mystery Stories in 1969 and collected in Skeleton Crew in 1985. The story is about an antique mirror haunted by the visage of the Grim Reaper, who appears to those who gaze into it. This was King’s second professional sale and commercially published story.

Title And Stories Announced For Stephen King Anthology Film
15 March 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Back in January, we reported on a Stephen King anthology horror film directed by Mark Pavia, but had no solid confirmations on which of the prolific author’s stories would be adapted for the screen. Thanks to Fire Wire [via Dread Central] we’re finally able to deliver some updates.
The film will include interpretations of two stories chosen by King, and two stories chosen by Pavia. According to the director, those selected were meant to reflect a range of King‘s work, from “his pulpiest to his most introverted and introspective character pieces.” It was also announced that the title of the project would be Stephen King’s The Reaper’s Image, which was taken from one of the featured vignettes.

Killer car genre refuels as 3D horror flick Hybrid revs up on to Blu-ray and DVD
15 February 2012 10:33 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Most cars run on fuel. This one runs on blood.
So says the tagline of Hybrid, the latest horror title from G2 Pictures, which is out on DVD and Blu-ray this week.
Vengeful vehicles that have their own evil motives - along with ordinary engines used as deadly weapons by human drivers - have long been part of the genre.
Hybrid is now hoping to refuel the concept, proclaiming 'the new generation of killer car movies is here'.
Directed by Eric Valette (One Missed Call) and starring Shannon Beckner (American Pie Presents: Beta House) and Oded Fehr (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns) Hybrid is described as "a suspense-filled thriller, boasting stunning special effects and fast-paced action." The Blu-ray includes full stereoscopic 3D as well as the DVD version.
The synopsis is as follows:

New 'Dark Tide' Poster Makes Me Not Want to See the Movie
10 February 2012 3:36 PM, PST | Best-Horror-Movies.com | See recent Best-Horror-Movies.com news »
Dark Tide has a new poster that just makes me less interested in seeing this shark film than ever before. It appears they are going for a surfer flick vibe than a horror thriller that I would want to watch. The second poster seemed a lot more creepy to me. Dark Tide found distribution through Lionsgate. The horror film will be available on March 8, 2012 via VOD and will make a limited theatrical release on March 30, 2012. John Stockwell (Christine) directs Dark Tide written by Ronnie Christensen (Monster!) and stars Halle Berry (X-Men), Olivier Martinez (S.W.A.T.), Ralph Brown, Adi Shankar, Luke Stein, Mark Elderkin, Thoko Ntshinga and Sizwe Msutu. »

However, before they know it they discover that the nightmare from the deep is still lurking in the deep, more carnivorous and hungry than ever.”

Inadvertent Collectibles: M2 Project “Christine” Die-Cast
8 February 2012 2:46 PM, PST | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
As collectors, we are always on the lookout for keepsakes from our favorite films, and while the rewards are rare, every once in a while you come across something truly unique and exciting. Often times, an item will catch our eye while we peruse the dusty shelves in an antique store or swap meet table, only to find our “treasure” to be unrelated and irrelevant to our hunt. There are those times, though, when we dig to the back and come across something that, while not directly tied to our favorite movie, seems to almost be torn off the screen and placed into your hands, possibly unbeknownst to the company producing it. These are the inadvertent collectibles.
In 2010, die-cast collectible car manufacturer M2 introduced a new line of 1:64 scale vehicles called Auto-Projects, a market anomaly of rusted out hulls instead of the pretty painted toy store fodder collectors were used to. »

Daily Briefing. Béla Tarr, "Swoon" @ 20 and Catherine Robbe-Grillet
3 February 2012 2:23 PM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
New York. The Last Modernist: The Complete Works of Béla Tarr opens today at the Film Society of Lincoln Center and runs through Wednesday, and R Emmet Sweeney has a wide-ranging talk with the retired filmmaker. "Whether or not The Turin Horse turns out to be Béla Tarr's last film, as the gnostic, gnomic Hungarian master has claimed it will be, the sense of finality is absolute," writes the L's Mark Asch. Aaron Cutler for Moving Image Source: "Primo Levi writes in Survival in Auschwitz that the lowest point a human can reach is when he or she is forced to act without choice, performing tasks purely for his or her own survival. Freedom of choice is what separates humans from other animals. The Tarr crew (which, beginning with him and partner, Ágnes Hranitzky, has gone on to include a regular screenwriter [László Krasznahorkai], composer [Mihály Vig], and cinematographer [Fred Kelemen]) began by comparing humans to each other, »
