2009 Hottest Horror Babe: Diora Baird

We let you choose our 2009 Hottest Horror Babe and you awarded the honor to hotty Diora Baird. Although Baird did not really appear in a horror movie in 2009 -- lets be honest Stan Helsing shouldn't have counted -- she star in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006), and is in the upcoming Night of the Demons remake and 30 Days of Night: Dark Days in 2010.
Baird beat out Sophie Monk, Amber Heard, Danielle Panabaker, Audrina Patridge, Bobbi Sue Luther, Caroline D’Amore, Krista Allen, Odette Yustman and Megan Fox.
Baird is going to be busy in 2010 with at least six movies releasing, including the comedy Last Call, and hopefully we will see more of her in a few horror flicks in the near future!

Photos from the Set of Battle: Los Angeles Appear

Battle: Los Angeles is a real-time alien invasion thriller staring Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez and Bridget Moynahan, directed by Jonathan Liebesman, who previously took charge of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and The Killing Room. It deals with a platoon meeting an invading alien army and two set photos have sprung up and point to an Independence Day for the 21st century.
I was a fan of The Killing Room, and Liebesman is certainly moving from the minimalist to the massive with his take on an alien invasion of Los Angeles (the title is kind of unambiguous) and I’m hoping writers Scott Silver and Christopher Bertolini can find something new in this road most travelled by. Eckhart looks suitably disgruntled and I’m hoping the real-time angle will bring a momentum to the film.

Exclusive: The Fangoria interview with Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed

If you’re into metal or hardcore, chances are you have a Hatebreed record in your collection. Known for their crushing live shows and tireless efforts, the band has been a fixture in heavy music for the past fifteen years. With a growing following based on a mutual loyalty and respect between the band and their audience, the Grammy-nominated band closes out 2009 with a hit album on a new label, energized by their return to independence.
At the center of all things Hatebreed is Jamey Jasta - the multi-tasking frontman not only of Hatebreed, but also of Kingdom Of Sorrow and Icepick. Balancing music with running his own label Stillborn Records, and a clothing line called Hatewear without ever seeming spread too thin, Jasta has his sights set on conquering even more frontiers in the near future.
Last month I had the chance to talk with Jamey in the midst of Hatebreed’s fall tour,

Paranormal Activity

The relentless bone-cracking offered by gory films has proved itself to be a particularly mindless form of horror, and anyone seeking something less predictable will find that Paranormal Activity is the perfect antidote. Good films about haunting have been a little scarce in the past decade; when it comes to modern horror, it has been a boom time for competent but unoriginal rehashes that can only shock the uninitiated (The Ring, The Omen 666, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, The Last House on the Left).

30 Days Of Night Sequel Starts Production

I’d like to take this time to express how much I really like 30 Days Of Night. Highly suspenseful and even a little bit scary a time or two, the film delivered exactly what it set out to deliver. While it’s not a great film by any stretch of the imagination, it certainly isn’t predictable, repetitive and vile as Richard Roeper described it.
So, having said that, why am I not more excited that a sequel has begun principal photography? I’ll tell you why. Because this is Ghost House throwing a follow-up together with about as much forethought as shotgun wedding. It’s going to be straight to DVD (this is already planned), it features actors you’ve rarely seen recently outside of secondary TV roles, and the premise just sounds like a direct-to-dvd premise. Granted, it is based on Dark Days, the follow-up graphic novel that

Fall Frights: Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (Film Review)

In the spirit of Halloween '09, we're breaking out reviews (some new, some old) of some Fall Frights you may want to work into your monthly viewing.
Originally published, 10/06/2006
If nothing else, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning should help quell the frequent complaint that major-studio horror films wimp out when it comes to graphic violence and uncompromising cruelty.
Just this year alone, Hostel, the Hills Have Eyes remake, the upcoming Turistas and (perhaps most of all) this latest Chainsaw entry have been unafraid and unapologetic about subjecting audiences and onscreen victims to severe levels of savagery and bloodshed.
As for originality in the majors’ contributions to the genre, well…that’s another matter. Yet The Beginning is about as good as one could expect a prequel to a remake of a classic to be; it’s a seriously intended and sometimes quite disturbing film whose greatest liability just might

Texas Chainsaw Moves To Twisted Pictures

Platinum Dunes, busy with their Friday the 13th sequel and A Nightmare on Elm Street, have let the rights to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre slip – and they’ve been picked up by “Saw” makers, Twisted Pictures.
The news comes from Variety that the makers of Jigsaw’s torture-porn horror franchise Saware in negotiations for the rights to the classic video nasty property. According to their sources, the plan is to contemporize the story, setting a new remake in the present day and utilising the latest craze for 3D cinema.
For critics of the original remake, released in 2003, the change in studios presents a lot of potential for a different take on the story, in which a group of teenagers find themselves stranded and pursued by a freakish, cannibalistic family of bloody murderers. Fans of the remake (including me) who may not necessarily be a fan of the later “Saw” films

When it comes to his film career, Ne-Yo has stayed largely on familiar ground, taking on parts in the music- and dance-focused films "Stomp the Yard" and "Save the Last Dance 2." The R&B singer's newest movie role, though, will thrust him into territory he's never encountered before.
But then, nobody else has either. Ne-Yo has joined the cast of "Battle: Los Angeles," a sci-fi action film about a platoon of Marines fighting off a swarm of invading aliens, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Model/actress Diora Baird hasn’t exactly gone supernova yet, but that could all change with the upcoming film, Thor.
According to Chud, Baird tweeted about auditioning for Kenneth Branagh’s comic book adaptation, which begins principal photography early next year, and is due in theatres on May, 2011.
Baird has been acting in movies and on television since 2004, and her breakthrough part was in the 2005 comedy Wedding Crashers. She also landed a major role in the horror prequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, which was released in 2006.
Apparently, her tweet read: "Had an audition for the movie Thor today. Character description was 'pretty, but sturdy with muscle'. Damn type casting."
Chud tried to get Baird to reveal more details about the audition, to which she replied, "I cant say. I'll go to jail. For real. Had to sign my soul away."
Marvel Studios already announced the casting of Natalie Portman as Jane Foster,

Excuse me while I pick up my face.
Bad girl Michelle Rodriguez, along with Michael Pena and Bridget Moynahan, are heading to the mean streets of Los Angeles to fight aliens in Battle: Los Angeles.
In a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Rodriguez, who scares me to be quite frank, plays Crpl. Adriana Santos with Pena playing the father of a missing boy who armed Marines find during their honorable fight against the alien scourge. Moynahan plays a veterinarian because when there’s an alien invasion going on, somebody needs to take care of our animal equals.
Battle: Los Angeles is directed by Jonathan Liebesman (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) with production starting this Fall.
Michelle Rodriguez is all about boozy fighting. When not brawling in the streets, La Rodriguez will be fighting unscrupulous white folks in Robert Rodriguez’s Machete.
