Horror Headlines: Wednesday November 18th, 2009

"The Wolfman", due in theaters February 12th, becomes even more worrisome as the studio brings in a new editor late in the development. With reshoots, new editors and the like, is there any hope of this being a good film? (Editor's Note: NO)

Have you been thinking to yourself, "Boy, I wish Brittany Murphy would do a horror movie!" Well, then you're in luck as the trailer for her new direct to video scare "Deadline" hits the web.

Did you like that Brittany Murphy news? Well guess what, I'm going to blow your mind. She has a second horror film coming out in limited theaters December 4th called "Across the Hall" and lucky you, you can watch the trailer right here!

Is it horror? Not really. Is it pretty cool? Yah, kind of. Is it too late to add to your Christmas list to Santa? Let's hope not. Minimates releases a new series of "Ghostbusters" figures, and they look so cute!

In Real People News: 

A Butler County man files a complaint with a police department claiming his arresting offices left him cuffed in the police cruiser for four hours while they redecorated his house with his girlfriend's dildos.

10th grade teacher Randolph Forde learned today that teaching high school may not be a good fit for his anger issues. Fed up with bad grades and classroom antics, he attempted to hire another student to kill the troublemaker.

A drunk man believing himself to be a ninja impales himself on the top of a five foot fence he tried to vault.

On this day in history: 

1421 - Heavy storms and high tide combine to destroy dikes in southern Holland. The ensuing flooding destroys 72 villages and kills between 4,000 and 10,000 people.

The "Ghostbusters" Theme Multitrack

I'm not sure if you've all realized it yet but the internet is freakin awesome. Need proof? Check out this guy who took his webcam and filmed himself singing each section of the "Ghostbusters" theme. And by section I mean he sings the guitar, keyboard, vocals and everything else then mixed them all together in one giant showcase of kickassness. Bonus points for not just doing the first verse and then giving up, nope he goes the full four plus minutes. Around minute three the drum solo really takes it to a whole new level. Enjoy folks.

"Ghostbusters" Video Game Mini-Review

The video game world has been abuzz this week with the release of the "Ghostbusters" video game, and the buzz is good. Thanks to a pretty awesome daughter, I got my own copy for Father's Day! After a good six hours spent busting ghosts (it really does make you feel good, fyi), I'm proud to report that the early twinges of excitement and hype that was felt back when the game was first announced are all justified.

Horror Headlines: Wednesday May 20th, 2009

Hi folks, Casey here. Eric had to take the day off, but thankfully he forgot to lock the door to the review dungeon before he left the office. So here I am with today's news for ya!

In a recent interview, Dan Akroyd reveals a few details on the upcoming "Ghostbusters 3." Confirmed is the return of Sigourney Weaver, and shooting is tentatively scheduled for this Winter.

Myriad Pictures and the Roseblood Movie Company announce a new flick based on an original Brett Easton Ellis screenplay. Ellis, known for penning some pretty edgy fare such as "American Psycho," lends his expertise this time around to the original story of a social outcast ridiculed by his peers who in turn takes them hostage, with disastrous results.

It's rumored that Oliver Stone is in talks to direct "Helter Skelter", based on the book of the same name written by Vincent Bugliosi.

Bruce Willis returns to the genre with a supernatural flick centered around small town horror as a young girl turns up missing under weird circumstances in "Grimm." The movie is currently in pre-production with Russell Mulcahy directing.

In Real People News: 

A Queens retiree makes extra money by selling flowers at the local cemetery. As it turns out, he gets his stock by stealing flowers from the same cemetery. Now that's a man that understands supply and demand.

On this day in history: 

May 20th 1999 - The dissolving body parts of eight people are discovered inside six plastic barrels sitting in an abandoned bank vault in Snowtown, Australia. I bet it still smelled better than my own rotting savings account!

"Ghostbusters" Multiplayer Trailer

I really can't get enough of this "Ghostbusters" gameplay footage. If this game plays anywhere near as well as it looks, it should be a blast.

Ghostbusters "Slimer Edition" is Gonna Cost Ya

Recent trailers for the upcoming "Ghostbusters" game have definitely planted the seeds of curiosity if not full-on fanboy excitement. As someone who (naively) paid $80 for the Spore "Galactic Edition," I wouldn't be averse to shelling out some extra dough for the special "Slimer Edition" package of the game if it looks promising enough. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that anything short of the second coming of "WWF No Mercy" for N64 would prompt me to drop $129.99 on anything game related that isn't another console entirely. The package itself sounds pretty cool, but the price, not so much.
