Haunted Newsreel

Listen up. First of all, Bruce Campbell, B-movie legend, has a new book coming out titled "Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way." You should buy it when it hits shelves because Bruce Campbell wrote it, and everything Bruce Campbell creates is automatically a masterpiece.

Second of all, The Man with the Screaming Brain, a movie that features Bruce Campbell in more ways than one (he directed, co-wrote, and starred in it), will soon premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel (rest assured I'll fill you in on an actual date when I hear of one).(read more...)

Out of all of the film special effect concoctors that have existed throughout the span of time so far, it is Ray Harryhausen who I respect the most, due to his completely unsurpassed originality and creativity. So naturally, when he talks, I listen. Or in this case, read, as the website for Now Playing magazine has just posted a new interview with the stop-motion magician himself, in which the man puts into words his views on Peter Jackson's upcoming King Kong remake, all of with which I couldn't agree more. In order to read the entire interview, you'll have to get your hands on the new issue of Now Playing, but the link conveniently listed below does provide a tasty sampling of the talk with the creature-creating genius:(read more...)

Why, here are the specs now:

As far as the "bonus features" go, here's what we have to look forward to:(read more...)

Freddy vs. Jason 2's development status has been on and off. First we hear it's going to happen, and that Ash will be joining the battle, then we hear that that idea has been completely scrapped, then we hear that there are no plans for the sequel, then we hear there are, then we hear there aren't again, and so on and so forth. Well, Creature-corner.com recently reported that they've had a chance to speak with the vice-president of production at New Line Cinema, and he said the following about FvJ2:

"Unfortunately, there are no current plans for a sequel…Would love to hear from fans if this is disappointing to them. Also, would love to know what story they would want to see since the Ash match-up hasn't worked out."(read more...)
