Horror Headlines: Wednesday June 17th, 2009

Fred Dekker may be interested in doing a sequel to "Night of the Creeps". Now if it were just 1989, this would be the greatest news ever.

Ti West to get behind the camera for "The Haunting in Georgia", which is purportedly a sequel by the same company who produced "The Haunting in Connecticut", which went on to be distributed by Lions Gate. No word on if that relationship will still exist, but had I to venture a guess I would say no.

Universal is still very much moving ahead with a "Bride of Frankenstein" remake. Uni's in talks with Neil Burger to write and direct, director of 2006's "The Illusionist".

The writer of "Sorority Row" and "Piranha 3D" updates his blog with news/thoughts on both films, both of which he feels are going to turn out really well. "Sorority Row" is apparently completely finished at this point, and according to him lives up to his original script, which as he says was "Scary. Funny. Tense. Stylish. Bloody. Sexy". I did actually get most of that from the trailer, so consider me excited.

Here are the specs for the new "Night of the Creeps" DVD, and damn, I have to say they're going all out with the special features. Once this one's off our list, what's the next big horror title that needs to be released on DVD? My other major one was "Phantasm II", but that one was also announced recently.

Natalie Portman attached to Darron Aranofsky's supernatural thriller "Black Swan". Yes please.

Just as I was ranting on the podcast last night about how much I dislike Rob Zombie's "Halloween", up popped the news on Twitter that the full official site for the sequel is now live. It was interesting timing, to say the least.

Danny Trejo says that Robert Rodriguez is prepping to shoot "Machete" in 5 weeks time.
