Roger Corman and Joe Dante Have Turned Cory Feldman into a Zombie, and We Get to Decide His Fate!

How cool is this? B-movie maestro Roger Corman is producing a series of horror Webisodes staring the one and only Cory Feldman as a vengeful, undead rock star. Genre icon Joe Dante is directing, and, best of all, WE get decide how the story plays out. According to Bloody Disgusting, "Mr. Corman, making his Internet video debut at age 83, is opening up the creative direction of the series by asking the public to vote on the fate of its characters." So it's kinda like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" horror series with Cory Feldman. Weird and very cool. In fact, I like the premise enough to overlook the use of the word "frenemies" in the press release.

So, what do ya think? Will we finally get the chance to see Feldman do in his lamer half, Cory Haim?

Check out the preview at Netflix.

I'm Dying to Visit "The House of the Devil!"

I've been hearing great things about this retro, 80s-themed horror flick, "The House of the Devil." You can check it out on Xbox Live, Amazon and VOD right now, and it's hitting a few theaters the day before Halloween. The marketing campaign is badass, and really makes me want to spend my hard-earned Xbox Live points. (Pic).

Strange Halo Appears Over Moscow! Bizarre Weather Anomaly or Alien Mothership?

No, this isn't an outtake from "Independence Day." It actually appeared in the sky directly over Moscow recently. People all over the world have been analyzing it, with some calling it a natural weather pattern and others claiming it as irrefutable proof of alien life. Now, regardless what you believe it to be (I think it's probably just a really cool and unusual weather anomaly), it's amazing to watch and consider. If it was aliens, I'm just glad they didn’t' annihilate Red Square.

After Schwarzenegger's Done Governating California, Will He Take a Trip to the Predators' Home World?


I just watched LatinoReview's awesome script review (via AICN) of Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal's reboot of the "Predator" franchise, "Predators." We all know how awesome Rodriguez is, and his idea for the flick (a group of earth's toughest men hunted on predators' planet) is just awesome. And while I'm very excited about Danny Trejo's involvement, I as giddy as a schoolgirl over Dutch's potential return. Sadly, it will only be a cameo, but it's still amazing.

With Schwarzenegger's cameo in this and Sly's upcoming "Expendables" movie, it looks like Arnie may be prepping a return to cinema. Hell, his computer generated, 10-second appearance in "Terminator: Salvation" was the best part of the movie. Is it too much to hope for "King Conan?"

"House of the Wolf Man" Looks Like an Excellent, Old-School Tribute

Staring Ron Cheney (the great-grandson of Lon Cheney), a dude that looks kinda like Bela Lugosi, and old-school makeup effects, "House of the Wolf Man" looks to be an fitting tribute to the fright flicks of old. Oh, and it's filmed entirely in black and white.

It's like what Tarantino and Rodriguez did with their "Grindhouse" flicks, only with the Universal-era of monster films instead of the low-budget flicks of the 70s. Check out the trailer below, which I nabbed from YouTube.

"Dracula 2" May Really Suck (But in a Good, Vampirey kinda Way)

They are making a sequel to "Dracula." Let me rephrase that. They are writing a sequel to "Dracula." As soon as I read this article from ShockTillYouDrop, I knew I had to post something about the project. I planned on being witty, perhaps penning a smarmy comment mocking the inherent lameness of attempting to draft a sequel to "Dracula," which is unquestionably one of the most important and influential novels ever written. As I mentioned yesterday, I can't stand people dabbling in worlds they didn’t create.

I planned to mock it until I watched the trailer. Although the video looks cheap and cheesy (like most Dracula sequels), it managed to change my mind. Apparently, they got one of Bram Stoker's decedents and a Dracula historian to write it using Stoker's original, handwritten notes as a guide. That's pretty damn cool.

So while it still may end up sucking harder than a toothless vampire, I'm defently going to have to give it a read. It's entitled "Dracula: The Un-Dead" and will be released on October 13th.
