Eminem to Star in Multiple Roles in 3D Anthology Horror Movie Shady Talez

6 November 2009 11:14 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Nationwide, Juggalos are already boycotting in parking lots, in addition to breeding. Eminem, the 37-year-old adolescent rapper, will follow up his $116 million grossing fictionalized biopic, 8 Mile, from 2002 with a 3D anthology horror movie horrifically entitled Shady Talez. The project has kicked around for a while, and is now part of a synergy package that includes a same-named four-issue comic book series due 2010 from Marvel Icons. The above image comes from that. Slim Shady will produce and star in multiple roles in the film, which will give an "urban wink" to genre classics such "as Christine, Aliens, and The Lost Boys" in the style of George Romero's Creepshow. What, no characteristic ode to Irreversible or Twisted Nerve? A director was not announced. According to Screen Daily, the script is being written by co-producer Dallas Jackson (Uncle P starring Master P, The Last Dragon remake) and Kevin Grevioux, who created the »

31 October 2009 1:31 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

The first-ever Fangoria Trinity Of Terrors has officially taken over the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, becoming The Place you want to spend your Halloween! Its 1:31am Vegas time as I type this and the party is continuing downstairs as Halloween has officially arrived in the city of Sin.

Opening night was a blast here, packed with film screenings, celebrity guests (including some unannounced surprises), horror, freaks, and rock. And to top it off, we're broadcasting the demonic debauchery Live!

Check out this clip from last night's Live webcast featuring John Kassir doing a little bit of The Crypt Keeper!

As the final screening of the night comes to a close with Black Devil Doll wrapping up in the Brenden Theatres, we're already prepping for the show floor to re-open at 10am. Tickets will be available at the door for only $20 beginning at 8:30am, and here's what horrors lie in-store for Halloween. »

My Halloween Heroes: A Guest Blog By Steve Niles

28 October 2009 7:01 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Halloween Week continues with yet another guest blog from one of the industry's most notable creators of horror comics. This time around, it's "30 Days of Night" co-creator Steve Niles, whose series "Criminal Macabre," "Freaks of the Heartland" and "Wake the Dead" (among others) are also currently in development as feature films. His sequel to "30 Days of Night," "Dark Days" is also currently in production.

I imagine for a lot of folks out there Halloween is a fun time, but not one of the bigger times of year. In my house, Halloween is right up there with all major holidays. I’d even go as far as to say I spend more in October than I do in December.

It’s the truth. I have a problem. My name is Steve Niles and I’m a horror addict. I’m also one lucky monster-kid. But I’m getting ahead of myself. »

50 Influential Scream Queens: Part 2

27 October 2009 10:57 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Before I launch into the conclusion of my 50 Influential Scream Queens (read part 1 here), please let me remind you that this list is based upon my personal taste, and my personal taste alone. I didn't poll 100 Fango readers, the Fango staff or any other form of 'industry professionals'. It's all opinion, so if you feel I've wronged a certain actress by excluding them from the list, don't leap to brand the entire Fango crew 'vile'.  I probably just don't personally find their work to be that influential. Either that or I'm just ignorant to their accomplishments!

25. Mia Farrow: Mia's genre work may be a bit limited, but that doesn't change the fact that Rosemary's Baby will forever be regarded as one of the creepiest films in history. Farrow's portrayal of Rosemary Woodhouse is harrowing to say the least, and will always remain (in my mind) one of the best performances the genre has seen. »

Fall Frights: Grindhouse (Film Review)

20 October 2009 1:16 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

In the spirit of Halloween '09, we're breaking out reviews (some new, some old) of some Fall Frights you may want to work into your monthly viewing.

Originally published, 04/01/2007

In the Robert Rodriguez-scripted/directed first of its two conjoined movies, Grindhouse is the ultimate sugar rush for horror fans, a high-calorie, low-nutrition blast of cheap thrills wrought on a big budget. In the second, Quentin Tarantino upends the framework and traditions of exploitation fare to craft a film that’s just as much a showcase for his gift of (writing) gab as it is for action. And in both Rodriguez’s Planet Terror and Tarantino’s Death Proof, a love and respect shines through for the B-movie tradition that too many others “homage” with snarky irony. The wholeheartedness with which they express their devotion to the form almost amounts to a kind of innocence, and for all the explicit mayhem on screen, »

Scream 2009 Recap: Reign of the Vampires and Space Crews

19 October 2009 9:11 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

True to its name, the Scream Awards is an award show where the winners are decided by the biggest scream, like talent shows of olden days, before text messaging and toll-free numbers were invented. In this case, Scream winners are decided by internet votes. It's not surprising to then see current trend-grabbing vampires dominate the show; but the awards, it seemed, are secondary. The highlights of the night are all the honorary awards, celebrating the legends of their own mediums.

It was a little disconcerting to notice that the award winners were all telegraphed by the adoring cheers of the audience, too. The more enthusiastic the cheers, the likelier for that person to win. Vampires are definitely in this year, with notable appearances/wins for Twilight, True Blood, The Vampire's Assistant and Let the Right One In.

The most telling part of the award show being entertainment first-recognition second is »

Lists of Doom Xxviii: Ari of Destrophy

19 October 2009 7:18 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Greetings Fango Fiends! It's time once again for another installment of Fangoria Musick's Lists Of Doom - the column where we track down some of your favorite (or soon-to-be favorite) bands to get their thoughts on on the world of horror, and which films scare them.

For our 28th installment we caught up with Ari - vocalist/guitarist of Des Moines' Destrophy. One of the Midwest's hardest-working bands, Destrophy's self-titled album (and first for Victory Records) will hit retail on October 26th. So what scares Ari? Great White Sharks? Satanic Children? Nuclear Man?

Find out below!

1. An American Werewolf In London (1981), Director: John Landis.

Definitely my favorite werewolf incarnation- more like bear-wolf!  Actually the Nazi ghouls might have scared me more than anything.

2. The Exorcist III (1990), Director: William Peter Blatty.

The scene in the hospital.  A full minute of silence.  Best scare ever.

3. Alien (1979), Director: Ridley Scott.

Children of the Corn (2009)

7 October 2009 8:22 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Children of The Corn Directed by Donald P. Borchers In what's being marketed as a "rebirth," Children of the Corn revisits the 80's classic that spawned 6 sequels and countless amounts of children to fear those long weekends in the country.  There's a trend happening again in the Horror genre. A trend that makes a strong case that children are complete creeps.  Not only are they capable of being annoying little brats but it seems that in every town, city, county or home, there's at least one twisted little monster, who in between playing with Trouble the pop-omatic bubble game dreams of popping your skull open and feasting upon the meat of your brain. Word of advice: Don't have kids and don't trust kids, they'll just try to kill you.  Children of the Corn, if anything, reaffirms these wise words as well as gives us the much needed visceral satisfaction of brutal violence towards kiddies, »

Fantastic Fest 09: Another review of Survival Of The Dead

6 October 2009 8:47 PM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

Year: 2009

Directors: George A. Romero

Writers: George A. Romero

IMDb: link

Trailer: link

Review by: rochefort

Rating: 3 out of 10

"Survival of the Dead", George A. Romero's sixth entry in the ongoing zombie mythology he created with "Night of the Living Dead", is upon us. In "Diary of the Dead", George reset the timeline back to the initial days of the zombie outbreak, and you may remember a key scene in which the main characters were robbed by a group of Awol soldiers. "Survival" follows those soldiers as they head to an island where two long-feuding families are dealing with the zombie plague in their own unique way. One group believes we should kill 'em all, but the other side elects to chain up their undead kin and leave them be until somebody comes up with a cure. The zombies in each of Romero's movies have always been just the »

Exclusive: Grilling Leslie Nielsen of Stan Helsing

22 September 2009 1:18 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

It's hard to interview Leslie Neilsen and keep a straight face. The spoof-master general simply won't allow it.

When Fango recently caught up with the Airplane! and Naked Gun actor to discuss his portrayal of Kay (yes, a woman) in the upcoming Anchor Bay release of Stan Helsing (on DVD & Blu-ray October 27), Neilsen kept the jokes running at a steady pace as we quizzed him on everything from Forbidden Planet to Scary Movie.

Leslie Neilsen: So... you've always wanted to be in show business?

Fangoria: How did you get involved in Stan Helsing and what is the film about?

Ln: I don't know! (Laughs) The answer to both of those questions is that I don't know!  (Laughing Again) It's funny because I bumped in Bo [Zenga, the director] in Vancouver and he said that he'd like me to play a part in the movie. I read the script and I noticed that there »

Lists of Doom Xxv: Evil J of Otep

16 September 2009 12:28 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

It's been only six months since we launched Lists Of Doom here at Fangoria Musick, and here we are with the 25th installment!

For the quarter-mark, we've got Jason McGuire, better known to metal fans as "Evil J", bassist/backing vocalist for one of my favorite bands, Otep. Currently touring in support of their recently-released album Smash The Control Machine, J took time out to share the details on his ten favorite fright films. J said it was hard to choose just ten, but we were able to get it narrowed down.

Here's Evil J's List Of Doom...

1. Creepshow (1982) Dir. George A. Romero

A childhood favorite. I've watched this movie every year on my birthday since I was 10.  It is the greatest collection of short horror stories ever.   It made me hate cockroaches and I never wanted to look under the stairs, but it is all good, because it’s Father’s Day, »

Creepshow (Bd) - Warner Bros.

Amazon.com says: Inspired by the controversial E.C. Comics of the 1950s--which also provided the title and inspiration for the popular Tales from the Crypt TV series--director George Romero and screenwriter Stephen King serve up five delightfully frightful stories. Utilizing comic-book panels, animated segues, and exaggerated lighting and camera angles, Romero and cinematographer Michael Gornick come very close to replicating a horror comic in film format. The results mix fine acting with the morbid sense »

Greatest Scream Queens

1 September 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Debbie Rochon, often described as a scream queen herself, wrote in an article originally published in Gc Magazine that "a true Scream Queen isn't The Perfect Woman. She's sexy, seductive, but most importantly 'attainable' to the average guy. Or so it would seem." Nastassja Kinski Films: To the Devil a Daughter (1976) [1] Cat People (1982) [2] The Day the World Ended (2001) [3] Inland Empire (2006) [4] Kinski will always be remembered for the iconic photograph shot by Richard Avedon (with a snake coiled around her body) and her role in Paul Schrader's (not so good) remake of Cat People. Needless to say, it was a hit at the box office and Kinski deservingly received a Saturn Award for Best Actress. Caroline Munro Films: The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) [5] Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972) [6] Dracula A.D. 1972 [7] Maniac (1980) [8] Faceless (1987) [9] Demons 6 (1989) [10] Caroline Munro seduced audiences in her Hammer roles in films like Dracula A.D. 1972, but for gore hounds, »
