Horror Headlines: Tuesday December 23rd, 2008
Hey folks, since I'm on vacation I got kind of caught up yesterday and ended up not posting horror news in the morning. I did however put up a pretty substantial news post last night, in case you missed it. As for tomorrow (Christmas Eve), it will depend on how much news is actually happening, but the tentative plan is to post then as well. In the meantime, on with the show!
Who is Scott Hoffman and what did he do to get mentioned here? A) He's a douche. B) He gave 5 glowing quotes about "The Spirit" just to get his quote-whoring website some publicity. Oh shit, I guess it worked.
The director of the indie film "Zombie Honeymoon" is in the planning stages of a sequel. What will it be called? Zombie Pre-nup? Zombie Divorce? Only time will tell.
900 theaters. Those are the odds of you seeing "My Bloody Valentine 3D", in actual 3D on a digital screen. The total number of theaters is 1,600, with 900 of those being the "RealD" ready screens. Got one near you? I suggest you start camping out now for the January 16th release date.
Attention web reporters... Every time Rob Zombie farts it does NOT constitute news on "Halloween 2". Now if he farts and burps at the same time, that's pretty amazing and possibly fatal... but it's still not news. Please take note.
This elaborate system of using fake license plates to get speeding tickets issued to your enemies is actually pretty genius. Definitely filing that in the "evil revenge plan" vault.
Mice may be to blame for a fire that killed over 1,000 cats. I can't decide if I'm terrified by this, or if it just really makes me want to play Mouse Trap.
Speaking of obscure references, it looks like a "foot massager" may be responsible for killing several people who tried to use it on their heads and necks in Japan. Hey, it's their fault for not running away as soon as they heard the AC/DC song "Who Made Who" come blasting over their stereo.
Scientists have invented a microchip that can rev up a woman's sex drive if implanted in the brain. Now all you need is some chloroform and a scalpel.
1888: After an argument with fellow painter Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh takes a razor and removes a portion of his left ear. Their quarrel regarded the prostitutes in Arles who seemed to prefer Gauguin over Van Gogh; the painter delivered his ear to one Rachel, who preferred Van Gogh. She fainted.
