Mark This Date – October 30th – FREE "Midnight Meat Train" viewing for EVERYONE

Clive Barker’s Midnight Meat Train has gotten some rough treatment from Lions Gate Films.  However, on October 30th (for ONE day only), FEARnet will allow you to watch the entire movie for free.  They will then be offering the movie on their Video On Demand service.  I’m a cheapskate so you know I’m checking it out. 

Put it on your Google Calendar or whatever you use to remind yourself of important stuff like this.

Mr Kramer Was Right … There is a Pigman

 

Looks like a Black Sheep type story with a subtle (or not so subtle) warning on the risks of genetic engineering.  Movie is "Squeal" and it certainly looks interesting.  Website here

This Looks Like A Winner – DOGHOUSE

I know I shouldn’t judge a booSnipperk by it’s cover or a movie by the trailer, however, that hasn’t stopped me in the past, and will not stop me this time.

I hate to use the overused cliché of “this movie looks like that movie”, but this movie does have elements that remind me of Hostel and Shaun Of The Dead.  I love both of those movies, so I know that I am really saying, “I hope to hell that this movie is like Hostel and SotD”.  I doubt it will actually be like these movies, but I can keep my fingers crossed and share this zombie-esque trailer with you.

Anyways, like strippers and zombies (which are two great things that are meant to go together), this movie combines all sorts of women and zombie-like beasties, so already it receives a big thumbs up for the effort.  Hopefully they pull it off.

MORE remakes? Poltergeist / Child’s Play

Okay, this is getting ridiculous.  I read on the website DreadCentral.com about potential remakes of Child’s Play … no, more specifically a “reboot” of that horror movie series.  In addition to that article, I read an article from The Hollywood Reporter about a Poltergeist remake.

The feedback I have heard regarding the Nightmare on Elm Street remake has been overwhelmingly negative. 

All of these horror movie remakes are raising the legitimate questions of whether there are any new ideas for horror movies or whether these past horror franchises are the only (or the best) way to make money in the horror movie industry today.  Seriously, do we need to bring back Chuckie?  If so, for the love of all that is horrific in cinema, please don’t EVEN f*ing consider bringing back the bride of Chuckie! 

Scene from Poltergeist

Okay horror movie writers … Can you work to develop your own horror movie franchise?  Please?  For example, Saw has done well in creating a franchise;  however, it may not do well stopping when it should.  Regardless, rehashing stuff from 1988 is not the best way to make a positive impact on the genre.

 

 

LONG LIVE CREATIVITY IN HORROR!!!!  I hope.
