IFC Midnight Picks Up 'Rites of Spring' Slasher!
15 December 2011 12:18 PM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
IFC Midnight - a distributor that is definitely in tune with what genre fans would call "films of interest" - has acquired U.S. rights to director Padraig Reynolds' kidnapping thriller Rites Of Spring, which stars genre faves Aj Bowen (The Signal, House of the Devil, A Horrible Way to Die, Hatchet 2) and Anessa Ramsey (YellowBrickRoad, The Signal). It also features creature design by Aaron Sims (A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child, Wrong Turn, The Mist, I Am Legend, Clash of the Titans, The Thing). Color me intrigued (whatever shade that is). No release date has been announced yet. Judging from the trailer, which you can check out after the break, it looks like a killer scarecrow flick, but I could be way off-base. »

We Watched It For You: Morlocks, a Syfy Original Movie
26 September 2011 8:02 PM, PDT | TV.com | See recent TV.com news »
After the summer television drought, these past few weeks have been, by comparison, a lot like that scene in A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child where Freddy Krueger murders a lady by force-feeding her too much food. Or, I guess because we're talking about TV, maybe it's actually more like the scene in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors where Freddy Krueger turns into a television and rams a lady's head into the screen? I don't know. What I'm trying to say is, we live in dangerous times. There is too much on TV now!
That's why we at TV.com would like to lighten your burden by filling you in on the items you... More >> »

Showtime to Give Us Something to Chew On
24 March 2011 5:27 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Let's face it; as much as we love "Dexter", the series is just not as sharp as it once was. Blame John Lithgow for a season that could never be topped in terms of quality and intensity. That being said, Showtime has another genre series on the horizon for us.
According to Deadline Showtime has bought a script for Chew, a quirky half-hour cop show based on John Layman and Rob Guillory’s bestselling comic book of the same name.
Stephen Hopkins (The Reaping, Judgement Night, A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child, Predator 2) is attached to direct and executive produce the project, which hails from Circle of Confusion, the company behind AMC’s hit series adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s "The Walking Dead."
Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer wrote the Chew script, which will now be tweaked under Showtime's guidance. Chew tells the darkly comic story of federal agent Tony Chu, »

Showtime Developing Comic Book ‘Chew’ as Dark Comedy Television Series
24 March 2011 3:30 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
[1] Last month a friend of mine was telling me about this comic book series titled Chew, which he thought could make a great premium cable television series. And it looks like it might actually happen. The comics follow a cop who gets secret psychic impressions from whatever he eats (for example, if he eats a piece of the corpse of a murder victim to help figure out whodunit). It sounds like it has the potential to be a dark comedy series in the same category as Dexter. Deadline [2] is reporting that Showtime has acquired the rights for a small screen adaptation of Rob Guillory’s bestselling comic book Chew. Stephen Hopkins, who was responsible for some of the best looking episodes of the first season of 24, has been hired to direct the pilot episode and executive produce the project for Circle of Confusion, the company behind AMC’s The Walking Dead. »

Horror at the Oscars Part III
12 March 2011 4:25 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Tremors? Nightbreed? Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat? 976-evil? Are all on the list this year. And though there were not huge horror wins in sound editing through screenplays, the Technical Awards never cease to bring out the horror veterans. Notably Tim Drnec who contributed to such VHS classics as Alien Seed, Destroyer, and Prison won for his work on “Spydercam 3D volumetric suspended cable camera technologies.” An award also shared with Ben Britten Smith and Matt Davis who both also worked on Constantine.
But among all the winners, the Academy also honored some great loses in 2010. And though they mentioned some of our heroes, Dennis Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Kevin McCarthy (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) and Dino de Laurentiis (King Kong), they did not mention Zelda Rubinstein or Corey Haim. But we will in this last section and the others lost to us last year.
So farewell fight fans and remember, »

Horror at the Oscars 2011 - Part Two
2 March 2011 10:30 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Rick Baker. Friend of apes. Maker of monsters. Seven time Oscar winner. And that lucky number seven was for The Wolfman, shared with fellow Efx maestro Dave Elsey. Their on-stage speech was great, but the extended Thank You Cam was even better. Both Baker and Elsey thanked Jack Pierce and Dick Smith for inspiring them. Though there were grumblings online that the Academy clip showed the CG transformation rather then the make-up. It is always a treat to see our own getting the gold.
In the best original music category, Trent Reznor won for The Social Network. But who could forget his rivethead contributions to Class of 1999, Se7en, and Tetsuo: The Bullet Man? And Danny Boyle’s nominated 127 Hours didn’t win for Best Picture, but we will always love him “best” for his bloody crazies in the 28 Days series.
Rounding out the highlights in horror cred are nods to Jason X, »

Horror at the Oscars 2011 - Part One
28 February 2011 4:12 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
It is that time of year again when Dread Central pays its respects to those who have worked in our beloved genre and made it to the red carpet on Oscar night 2011. The genre was in rare form when it came to the nominations. Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan was up for the gold in multiple categories (best picture, best actress, cinematography, and direction); even The Wolfman was on the short-list for best make-up. And win we did.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves because therein lie the gems of VHS past for a large share of both the winners and folks who were nominated. Highlights include a win for Melissa Leo (nominated two years ago for Frozen River), whom we remember best as Judith 'MaMa' Baer in Deadtime Stories. And who could forget Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho? My fellow fright fiends, he brought home the gold last night. »
