Horror Headlines 3/21/08

Word is that Barnholtz Entertainment (whoever that is) have picked up the rights to a film called "Ghosts of Goldfield", a haunted hotel story starring Roddy Piper (!) No word on if Piper will take out the ghosts with his patented sleeper hold... but I would have to assume.

"Bonnie and Clyde Vs Dracula" has reportedly finished filming, and is being shopped around. The film, starring B-Movie stalwarts Tiffany Shepis and Trent Haaga, revolves around the what happens with the infamous couple holes up in an old house on the run from the authorities, and run into the legendary bloodsucker. Go here to check out the trailer. In the meantime, I'll continue trying to get my coworkers here at BGH as excited about this as I am.

Does "Creature of Darkness" sound good to me? Well, no... but it does star Devon Sawa (been wondering where that dude went) and the production involves a really sordid story about a guy who tried to use his lottery winnings to fund the film, only to be foiled by his wife though messy divorce proceedings. I smell a trainwreck! Fango has the full story.

In Real People News: 

There are probably a few worse ways to die than getting stung by an 8-foot-long sting ray. Number one on the list? Minding your own business on the deck of your boat when a sting ray LEAPS out of the water and strikes you on the head - causing you to fall over and hit your head on your own boat. Dizamn. This happened about 3 hours away from my house yesterday.

In the "learn something new every day" department, apparently toilets in China are so low to the ground that you have to squat to use them. Ain't that the darndest thing? In related news, the toilets are being replaced after complaints by Olympic athletes.

On this day in history: 

1980: Mobster Angelo Bruno killed with a shotgun blast to the head while he waits in his car after dinner. The Genovese family thus asserted Philadelphia's traditional claim to Atlantic City. His replacement is his former capo Phil "Chicken Man" Testa.
