Horror Headlines: Thursday May 28th, 2009

Wanna take your top off in "A Nightmare on Elm St."? They weren't interested in me, something about "not having huge fake tits". Ah well.

A dark version of "Snow White" sounds pretty awesome, although I'm guessing they won't have to try so hard to make it scary. Those old Disney films are still terrifying.

John Lithgow joins "Dexter"... as a serial killer. I'm nominating this for best story of the week, hands down.

"Sorority Row", the remake of the 1983 film "The House on Sorority Row", has been rated "R for strong bloody violence, language, some sexuality/nudity and some partying". So "partying" gets you an R rating these days? That's interesting.

"Alien" gets a remake, apparently shooting down any hope that it might get a 5th installment. Supposedly though, Michael Costigan, Ridley Scott and Tony Scott are all on board as producers, and have picked their own director. So I guess that's good news?

In Real People News: 

Interested in buying an old funeral home at auction? Would it entice you if I said that there are 4 dead bodies decomposing somewhere in the building that have been there for years? No? You drive a hard bargain, sir.

Understaffed health clinic in Prague offers free boob jobs to prospective doctors and nurses. Hmmm... that's certainly ONE way to go.

3 legged turtle uses Tonka Toy to get around. That should fulfill your warm and fuzzy quotient for the year. I promise to get back to scaring you tomorrow.

On this day in history: 

1946: Manhattan Project scientists Klaus Fuchs and John von Neumann file for a secret patent on their design for the hydrogen bomb initiator.
