The Film Crew Interview

Julia Merriam — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 03:01:00 -0500

If you miss "Mystery Science Theater 3000", the daring cable program that followed Mike Nelson and his two robot compatriots (voiced by Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett) as they cracked wise at bad movies, never fear. Nelson, Murphy, and Corbett have banded together for a new project with the same basic idea: making fun of the dredges of cinema. This new venture is called The Film Crew, a direct-to-DVD series featuring the trio as a bunch of bozos tasked with making sure every film has its own commentary track.

Emily Langton — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 13:09:29 -0400

Aliens, time travel, sex, monsters, violence, sex, conspiracies, cover-ups and oh yeah, sex. "Torchwood," which comes to the United States this Saturday on BBC America, is the little brother of "Doctor Who," or maybe the raunchy cousin who's got all the good porn on his computer. "Torchwood" takes the popular character Captain Jack Harkness from the first season of Russell T.

Nate Yapp — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 23:22:05 -0400

With director Adam Green’s slasher film coming out in limited release on Friday, September 7th, now's as good as time as any to meet the Hatchet fodder: those poor innocent (and not-so-innocent) victims who take a Louisiana swamp tour right into the clutches of mutilated killer Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder). The quotes come from interviews we conducted with the actors at San Diego Comic-Con or (in the case of Joel David Moore) over the phone.

Emily Langton — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 01:35:40 -0400

He sleeps in a freezer, not a coffin. He gets his blood from his dealer, a guy who works at a blood bank. He doesn't burst into flames in the sun and he can't be killed with a stake through the heart. He likes golf, Steve McQueen movies, classic Star Trek and Miles Davis. That's the modern vampire as seen on the new fall show Moonlight (airing Fridays on CBS at 9PM EST/PST, starting September 28th).

Robert Englund Interview

Nate Yapp — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 02:32:25 -0400

Robert Englund is one of the legends of modern horror. The name "Freddy Krueger" is all the introduction he really needs, but his contributions to the genre extend far beyond that, not only as an actor, but as an enthusiast. We caught up with him at San Diego Comic-Con International while he was promoting Adam Green's upcoming slasher film Hatchet, in which he has a small role.

"Hatchet" Director Adam Green Interview

Nate Yapp — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 00:22:10 -0400

Director Adam Green's Hatchet is making waves in the horror community more for what it isn't than what it is: it's not a remake, it's not a sequel, and it's not PG-13. It's an honest-to-gosh R-rated slasher movie, starring honest-to-gosh horror icons Kane Hodder, Robert Englund, and Tony Todd, about a group of tourists who run afoul of Victor Crowley (Hodder), a deformed killer who haunts the bayous of Louisiana. The film's fans have built the "Hatchet Army" to show their support for fresh material on the silver scream.
