Horror Headlines: Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Okay folks, what you're going to see at this link is a cool "motion poster" for Lionsgate's "The Haunting in Connecticut". It's incorporated by some audio that may send you searching for a phantom pop-up. So, consider yourself warned.

Daeg Farch is apparently too old to play Michael Myers in the upcoming "H2", because he's now taller than Sheri Moon Zombie, who played his mother in the first "Halloween" remake. Try that image on for size this morning.

Wes Craven's upcoming project will be keeping the name "25/8". According to Wes, it was originally supposed to be titled "Bug", but he says it was changed because "people were confused about it". Hmm... I suppose that could be because that was the name of a 2006 movie from William Friedkin? No?

Brian Yuzna and Ray Haboush, owner of Halcyon International Pictures are planning a 3D remake of "Reanimator". Yuzna was director on both "Bride of Reanimator" and "Beyond Re-animator". No word on if Jeffrey Combs will return as Dr. Herbert West.

New Trailer for "Terminator Salvation". Wow... I'm officially excited about this, despite McG's involvement. If this movie isn't good, expect about a 6 month long rant.

According to Production Weekly, the name of the "Let The Right One In" remake has been changed to "Let Me In". Wait, as in the 3 little pigs?

In Real People News: 

Is anyone really shocked that this morgue worker was found to have had sex with 100's of dead women over the last 16 years? Some even badly mutilated? People who work on the night shift freak me out to begin with, let alone at a morgue.

I've heard of some strange shit in my day, but I have never heard of a cat being used as a filter for a bong. That's either one giant bong, or one tiny cat, and I don't think either of those options makes this story any better.

On this day in history: 

1863: The National Conscription Act is signed, forcing all men between 20 and 45 years of age into the draft lotteries. Except for rich bastards, who could buy their way out for $300, or hire another man to serve in his place. The inevitable result is the week-long New York Draft Riots.
