Horror Headlines: Tuesday January 26th, 2010

Sam Worthington continues to try and take over Hollywood as he signs on to the upcoming Alex Proyas project "Dracula: Year Zero".

"Supernatural" fans are about to get their fix as the new web series spinoff "Ghostfacers" prepares for launch.

In a move deemed "smart" by absolutely no one, Lions Gate has exercised an option in Kevin Gruetert's contract forcing him to direct "Saw VII: 3D", the followup to his film "Saw VI". It was announced last week that he would be helming "Paranormal Activity 2", which apparently didn't sit well with LG, so they're officially going home and taking their toys with them.
