Why the hell not? It looks like Sonar Entertainment and Panacea Entertainment are teaming up to create a new TV series based on the "Hellraiser" franchise. Nothing has actually been written or sold to anyone but if all goes well you'll be seeing Pinhead on Fox Family next Fall.

The "Leprechaun" reboot is finally getting some traction today, dropping the news that it will be titled "Leprechaun: Origins" and has a little leading man in the form of Hornswoggle. Apparently that's a wrestler and I have no idea what his real name is but based on the amount of twitter action I saw this past Sunday during Wrestlemania 95% of our readers have semis right now.

I don't know about you but I loved "The Woman in Black". I want to open mouth kiss it at inspiration point. So now I'm excited for the three way I'm going to have in the back of my Honda CRV because a sequel has just been announced. "The Woman in Black: Angels of Death" will pick up 40 years after the first film and is being penned by Jon Croker who worked as the story editor on the first film. Alright I know you can't have sex with a movie. A guy can dream though can't he?

Get excited, kids! "We Need to Talk About Kevin", everyone's favorite "my son is an asshole" flick is coming to Blu-Ray and DVD on May 29th. That's all I got. Please tip your waiter.

In Real People News:

Listen up you little white trash toddlers! Here's a story about a Louisiana man who died at a Wrestlemania party this past weekend after his cousin put him in a choke hold. I have no idea how you little scamps are still alive.

And here without further adieu is the greatest Juggalo freestyle of all time.

Where do Werewolves go when they die? For decades we thought we'd never know. But the film "Zombie Werewolves Attack", which was just picked up by Troma for distribution, is here to give us answers. They turn into Zombies, that's the answer. You should have figured that out by title alone.

Christian E. Christiansen, a guy who's most notable credit is a Danish series called "Mikkel og guldkortet", is rumored to be the next in line to direct the "Hellraiser" remake. Fret not though, Amber Heard is also rumored to be landing a role in the film and she's famous for, well being hot and stuff.

Mia Wasikowska, who you all remember as Alice from the "Alice in Wonderland" has been offered a role in the upcoming big screen adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". Bradley Cooper has apparently also been offered a role so I'm officially declaring today's news the hunkiest in BGH history.

Finally last night at the 2010 Scream Awards the trailer for "Scream 4" apparently premiered and thanks to the power of cell phones there's now 100 youtube videos of the trailer with tons of crowd noise. Enjoy!

In Real People News:

I consider myself to be a sensitive guy but this sounds like the worst idea ever imagined. Air New Zealand is planning on rolling out a "cuddle class" next year which would put couples in seats the fold down so the love birds can snuggle during the flight. Congratulations New Zealand, you just found another reason while I'll never visit you.

On this day in history:

1898 - The American flag was raised in Puerto Rico shortly before Spain formally relinquished control of the island to the United States.

David Hackl, the director of "Saw V" has got a new film coming out called "Red Machine" and today we've got our first image. The movie is about a bear that goes nuts and kills people so the image is of... you guessed it, a pissed off bear. Well played!

For those of you who enjoy the written word, Clive Barker is just about wrapped up with "The Scarlet Gospels", the final chapter in his "Hellraiser" series. Hopefully they'll make a movie out of it, because pictures are better then words. Fact!

Ciaran Hinds is in talks to play the Devil in the upcoming "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" film. What's better? Some Italian actress/singer named Violante Placido is apparently in talks to join the cast as well. I've never heard of her and from what I've seen on Google Images she's never heard of clothing either.

Finally here's some new images from "My Soul to Take". They've got a kid freakin out and then another one with some kids drawing straws and... oh god I just don't have it in me anymore. This movie is going to be awful.

In Real People News:

Good luck sleeping tonight. A farmer has gone against his wife's wishes and kept their two legged pig that they've named Zhu Jianqiang. Don't worry, there's a picture.

On this day in history:

1971 - Walt Disney World opened in Orlando, Fla.

Still upset about Doug Bradley not playing Pinhead in the next Hellraiser film? Yeah I don't really give a crap either but apparently Stephan Smith Collins will be replacing Doug as Pinhead in the upcoming "Hellraiser: Revelations" flick. You might remember him from the cult classic "Come Fly with Me Nude" and if you do you should see someone about it.

Normally I am the most Gung-Ho USA person ever invented but today I am starting to think about moving. You see the Irish Film Classification Office has decided to ban the re-release of the 1978 film "I Spit on Your Grave". Any sort of country that would block that pile of turds from coming out must be some sort of magical wonderland.

Some new photos from this Halloween's "Saw 3D" have found their way online and they're pretty much what you'd expect. Honestly Ireland if you ban this one too I'll start packing up the apartment when I get home from work today.

In Real People News:

I'm pretty sure this is how they caught bad guys on "Scooby Doo". A robber in Lexington was arrested after a trail of coins led police to his house. And he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids!

On this day in history:

1938 - A hurricane struck parts of New York and New England, causing widespread damage and claiming more than 600 lives

A new super hot super spooky poster for the upcoming Ryan Reynolds flick "Buried" has been released. Most of the quotes are cut off in the poster but I assume somewhere in there is "Please bring back Two guys, a girl and a Pizza Place"

The screenwriters behind "Ed Wood" have signed on to write the upcoming Tim Burton stop motion animated "The Adams Family" film. I was pretty excited about this and then I saw they also wrote "Problem Child 2" and "Agent Cody Banks". After that I got super excited!

"Hellraiser: Revelations" is confirmed to start filming next month and will in fact not be a remake of the original classic, which is apparently still on the table. This one will be a small budget continuation of the Hellraiser franchise and will most likely go direct to video. Small budget meaning they can only afford four nails for Pinhead's face. Hey, time are tough for everyone.

Emily Montague from "Melrose Place" has been added to the cast of the upcoming "Fright Night" remake. Don't get too excited though, she'll apparently play a victim of our head vamp so I'm guessing her screen time will total about 5 minutes. I have no idea why you would have been excited anyway... you watch "Melrose Place"?

In Real People News:

A bull went batshit insane recently at a bullfight in Spain and leaped into the crowd. The best part? There's a freakin video of it! Of course now that I think about it, maybe leaping into the crowd at an event where the entire focus is on you being stabbed to death isn't that nuts.

On this day in history:

1998 - Retaliating for deadly embassy bombings in East Africa, the United States launched cruise missile strikes against al-Qaida training camps in Afghanistan and what was described as a chemical plant in Sudan.

Good news UK fans, on Halloween night you can finally get the chance to see "Paranormal Activity". It will only be Midnight screenings that night, with a wide release planned for November. Then the film will roll out in other parts of Europe and Latin America following that.

Al Snow stars in slasher film. If you don't know who that is, you probably won't care. Move along.

Eminem to make horror anthology called "Shady Talez". You might as well fill out your Razzie cards now.

"Hellraiser" remake to be shot in 3D. All hope I had for this project pretty much just went out the window.

In Real People News:

The Govenator tells you and your puny senate to fuck off. He also mumbled something about the "lamentations of the women" on the way out.

Coyote survives 75 MPH hit and run, and being dragged for 600 miles. The couple found it embedded in their front fender, "very much alive".

Public defendants have a tough enough job, without getting poo rubbed all over their faces.
