Horror at the Oscars Part 2: This Time It's Personal

9 March 2010 12:49 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Horror fanatics are still buzzing like chainsaws over the Academy Awards’ genre montage. Anywhere there could be a conversation about it online, there was one. Many were upset over the Twilight ‘tweens’ participation, as if their mere presence sent a message about the state of scary in Hollyweird, USA.

A few seemed happy, though, to just get a glimpse of their beloved Evil Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 if only for a few seconds. But many called the selections generic and thoughtless, demanding the likes of Demons and TerrorVision instead (well, maybe not TerrorVision; that was just me).

How about Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer? Re-Animator? It’s Alive? Tombs of the Blind Dead? Coffin Joe? No list is perfect, but with a bit more care and a phone call to any one of us, the Oscars could have elevated that section into a real scream. Or maybe they »

Horror at the Oscars Part 1: The Quickening

8 March 2010 1:54 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

It’s that time of year again, kids. Dread Central’s 2010 Horror at the Oscars coverage. Horror was indeed present this year and in black-tie. While Roger Corman and Lauren Bacall were honored a few months back at the Governor’s Award Ceremony, it was an unexpected delight to see Corman, recipient of the lifetime achievement Oscar, enjoy a standing ovation on national television.

I was, however, very disappointed that neither of them were allowed to speak. Roger Corman’s contributions to modern cinema are too vast for him to just stand up and wave. James Cameron was one of many Corman acolytes present, and his nomination speaks to Corman’s tremendous legacy. On the Terminator DVD Cameron mentions, "I trained at the Roger Corman Film School.” Jonathan Demme, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola, among many others, were also former students.

The terror continued with a spoof of Paranormal Activity »

ScreenTime Interview With Ryan Merriman (Hallmark’s Elevator Girl)

15 February 2010 9:23 AM, PST | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

You may know Ryan Merriman, even if you aren't familiar with the name, from a large body of work when he was a child actor. A staple of the Young Artist Awards from the mid-90s through 2003 for such things as The Pretender, Taken, The Deep End of the Ocean, and more, Ryan is getting more and more ScreenTime in recent years, and may well be one to watch. Recently coming to you in an episode of Smallville, The Ring Two, and Final Destination 3, Ryan teams up now with Party of Five's Lacey Chabert for The Hallmark Channel's Elevator Girl. He's also coming up in quite a few interesting things: The 5th Quarter with Andie MacDowell and Aidan Quinn, The Hard Ride, a western with Val Kilmer and Elisabeth Shue, just to name a couple scheduled to come out this year. »

With The Wolfman arriving in theaters next week (and supposedly tracking well), Universal Pictures is off and running with their next creature feature, The Thing, a prequel/redo of John Carpenter's classic 80's film (also a remake of the 50's The Thing From Another World). Being helmed by Matthijs Van Heijningen, Uni has announced the first cast of who will be taking on tricky creatures from another planet. Genre veteran Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Final Destination 3, Black Christmas, Grindhouse, The Ring Two) and Joel Edgerton (Acolytes, Spider) will star in "The Thing," Universal's latest take on the shape-shifting alien who terrorizes a group of people in a remote facility, reports the Heat Vision Blog. »

Enough of These Underground Games. Hideo Nakata, It's a Little Late.

18 January 2010 10:21 AM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »

I saw it at Sundance 2009 with Jonathan Liebesman's The Killing Room, the UK just saw the release of The Exam, and both were inspired by numerous films over the years (ranging from Cube to Battle Royale) -- Japanese director Hideo Nakata (Ringu, The Ring Two) hopes to do a better job when he pays his subjects $1,200 a day to play a new twisted game entitled The Incite Mill. Hideo Nakata, the J Horror maestro of "Ring" and "Ring 2" fame, has inked a deal with talent shop Horipro to helm psychological suspenser "The Incite Mill." The pic, which is a based on an eponymous bestseller by Honobu Yonezawa, tells a "Big Brother"-ish tale of 10 people who hire on for a "job" paying $1,200 per hour, only to find themselves locked in an underground complex and forced to play a murder game for seven days. »
