Horror Films I Really Want To See



Wizard of Gore

 

Crispin Glover


Release Date: TBA
Herschell Gordon Lewis' original vision was so offbeat and underground that it took two years after the film was wrapped to find distribution. Almost four decades later, director Jeremy Kasten, who's headed such horror fare as All Souls Day and The Thirst, takes Allen Kahn's story updated by Zach Chassler, and attempts to put his own stamp on it. The flick is centered on a sadistic magician who finds pleasure in maiming, torturing and brutally killing his on stage volunteers. Or so it would seem! The movie will feature Crispin Glover, Bijou Philips, Brad Dourif, Kip Pardue and Jeffrey Combs. A release date has not been ascertained as of yet.

 

From a Buick 8

 


Release Date: TBA 2009
Speaking of the aforementioned Tobe Hooper, the man responsible for genre greats like Eaten Alive, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Funhouse; also has the pick back in hand, ready to carve another master work in the Stephen King adaptation of From a Buick 8. The film highlights a strange car looking vessel, a Buick 8; that serves as a portal into another dark dimension for human beings to experience. Those who have read the book know this bears no resemblance to King's other automotive horror story, Christine. The film is currently in pre-production and is chalked for an unknown 2009 release.

 

Drag Me to Hell

 

Justin Long


Release Date: TBA
Before becoming an A-list director behind behemoth blockbusters like the Spiderman franchise, Sam Raimi was deeply steeped in the horror genre. He pushed the envelope with The Evil Dead series, combining technical ingenuity with a blend of horrific and humorous story elements. Not only that, but he basically apotheosized the character of Ash, the immortal Bruce Campbell camp cult hero. And now, for the first time since '92, he returns to the genre with Drag Me to Hell, about a supernatural curse gone awry, permeating a human host. So far, Justin Long is in line to star, an unsettled 2009 release date to be seen.

Another EXCELLENT Idea



This is a trend I’m definitely loving.  In order to promote, people are turning to charities and allowing fans to help people to show their support.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Moonlight" fans are joining forces with the Red Cross and YouChoose.net to organize a nationwide blood drive in support of the series. Already more than 3,000 fans have pledged to donate a pint.

In addition, the trade paper is reporting that the fan actions are expected to prompt Alex O'Loughlin, the show's blood-sucking star, to take a new role as Red Cross spokesman.

Scary Dude

I watched Jack Ketchum’s “The Lost” last night (yeah I know I’m a bit behind) and while I am something of a connoisseur of horror, I have to admit that Marc Senter’s portrayal of sociopath, Ray Pye, was riveting.  He was scary as hell, yet kind of funny too.  I expect to see this guy move up quickly in the film industry.  If you’re a horror fan and have yet to see “The Lost”, go and get this one.  Blood and guts aside, Ray Pye is one scary dude.  And to make it creepier still, it’s based on a true story…at least that’s what I’ve read.

I’m just saying…credit where credit is due.  I don't know what she's doing these days but it's working.

Fan Power



Wentworth Miller

Fans of Wentworth Miller have organized to show their appreciation of their favorite actor.  I think this is an excellent and creative way to show support and more fan groups should do the same.

 

From the site:

(Wentworth Miller’s reply)

 

"It's my privilege to be a part of the entertainment business, an industry that has reached out to and touched the lives of billions of people around the world. It gives me tremendous pleasure to think that many of those same people have been motivated to reach out to others in turn.
This charitable effort was conceived, organized and executed by a group of generous fans willing to donate their time and energies to a worthy cause. I'm honored to participate in this process, and I thank you for doing the same."

– Wentworth Miller


The project was conceived as a way for Wentworth's fans to show their appreciation and support for their favorite actor by donating to a favored charity nominated by him.


This project will run from 1st April, 2008 until the 30th June, 2008, so that anyone who wishes to make a donation to this cause in lieu of a birthday gift to Wentworth may do so.

Stunning!

Can you believe Peggy is 61 years old?  I’ve read that she has had no cosmetic procedures and has aged naturally.  You can read her advice in Allure Magazine.

Hugh Doesn't Like Interviews



Hugh Laurie

And really, who can blame him?  Lots of people don't like interviews, but Hugh's coming clean about it.  I’m just glad we get to see him on TV and in films.  It’s fine with me if he doesn’t do interviews.

 

From icydk.com:

 

He says, “Obviously you are in a very vulnerable position (when you give an interview). You are putting your testicles on a chopping board. I get anxious about a lot of things, that’s the trouble. I get anxious about everything. I just can’t stop thinking about things all the time. And here’s the really destructive part - it’s always retrospective. I waste time thinking of what I should have said or done. I can’t bear going through the same f***ing dance of despair.”
