Horror Headlines: Friday January 2nd, 2008
Along with the release of "My Bloody Valentine 3D", 2009 will also see the long awaited release of the original, uncut version of the original MBV. MGM has been holding on to this version forever, with seemingly no interest whatsoever in releasing it or even entertaining the idea. Now that a remake's about to hit, they've leased the rights to Lions Gate who are finally putting it out on disc. Meanwhile, here's some shots of the gore that was cut. Is it possible this will make the film NOT unbearably boring? We'll find out on January 13th.
Note to "Unborn" producers... a video isn't so much viral if you openly call it that and don't try to hide that it's for your film. Either way, here's the "Unborn" viral video. Ugh.

If there's one film you should check out in next weekend's "After Dark Horror Fest" it's the Aussie flick "Dying Breed". Our own, notoriously hard to please Jon Schnaars raved about it after seeing it at Tribeca last year, so you should definitely hop on the chance to see it on the big screen while you can. Trailer at the link.
If you're having an emergency and you call the paramedics, better make sure you're "worth saving". Or a better way to phrase it might be, if you're an asshole paramedic debating whether you feel like saving someone's life or not, better make sure the phone isn't on and your conversation is being recorded by 911.
Teenagers who take pledges to remain abstinent until marriage are just as likely to have sex, and much less likely to use condoms. If you really want to keep people from having sex you should go the horror movie route. Show them a few "Friday the 13th" films and then throw "Teeth" in for good measure and you should be good to go.
All of Microsoft's 30gb Zune music players committed suicide on New Years Eve due to faulty code pertaining to 2008 being a leap year. If you want some good reading, go ahead and google "30gb Zune fail" and read the hilarious forum posts on the matter. Hey, serves them right for buying a Zune, I guess.
1878: While hunting, farmer John Martin spies a rapidly moving flying disk high in the sky near Denison, Texas. He is the first to use the word "saucer" to describe a UFO phenomenon.
