The Grammy-award winning band Slipknot premiered the new video for their song "Snuff" today in the form of a short film co-directed by Slipknot's own M. Shawn Crahan and renowned photographer/director P.R. Brown. The film features frontman Corey Taylor as never seen before, interwoven in an intricate storyline, but he's far from alone as two legends in the horror genre accompany him.
AOL is showcasing the film that takes viewers on an emotional roller coaster ride and is likely to generate more questions than answers. No doubt the question on your minds is who the two guest stars are, and we'll end the suspense now. They are none other than Hellraiser's Ashley Laurence and Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Rob Zombie's Halloween and Halloween II).

Mad masked metallers Slipknot posted a cryptic, ominous teaser for Snuff, the upcoming short film/music video promoting the fifth single from last year's chart-busting album All Hope is Gone. The short looks intense, creepy and even a bit giallo-like in its eerie fetishistic attention to strange details... and hey, did I just see Hellraiser veteran Ashley Laurence? Get a peek at the first haunting footage after the jump...
Directed by M. Shawn "Clown" Crahan and P.R. Brown, the La-shot video for Snuff has the potential to be pretty intense – at least if the brooding, angst-dripping track itself is any indication ("So save your breath, I will not care/I think I made it very clear... I only wish you

Doug Bradley Talks Hellraiser Legacy
16 December 2009 1:15 PM, PST
| DreadCentral.com

»
There are many iconic visages in the horror world: Frankenstein, Dracula, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Leatherface. Another who stands right up there in the pantheon of horror villains is Pinhead, created by the legendary Clive Barker and brought to life by British actor Doug Bradley.
What's interesting about the story behind Pinhead becoming a horror icon is that initially the character didn't even have a name, and no one working on the original Hellraiser film could have ever dreamed that the first movie would spawn seven sequels. "I earned the union minimum rate to play this character," explained Bradley. "I was buried in the credits and was probably on screen in the original for about 10 minutes so at first I didn't have a whole lot to be excited about."
"I didn't really see the big picture at the time, and I certainly didn't think my character would be part of a franchise either.

Doug Bradley and William Powell Discuss Bringing Horror to Las Vegas

Las Vegas is known for a lot of things: showgirls, gambling, and being the place where whatever sins you indulge in, no one at home has to know any better. What most people wouldn’t necessarily know is that Las Vegas is home to one of the cooler, more intimate places to check out comics and catch a screening of lots of horror/genre flicks - The Sci-Fi Center.
Started as a comic book venue by William Powell 17 years ago, The Sci-Fi Center has gone from being simply a place for those in the Vegas area to get their latest superhero fix to an establishment where you can meet up with like-minded genre fans.
“Originally we had the idea of building a theater with the shop so that we could resurrect Rocky Horror Picture Show in Vegas since it had been dormant for a long time here,” explained Powell. “As the building process went on,

One of the coolest things about Fangoria's 30th anniversary Trinity Of Terrors in Las Vegas was an impressive poster depicting every guest of the blood-soaked weekend. Besides classic covers and various personalities including Slipknot, there were various monsters and creatures. It also served as the cover of the event's program.
That central image was created by talented British artist, Sam Shearon. The illustrator sat down to discuss his work for Fangoria and his other horrifying imagery. The cheerful bearded Brit talks about his influences and inspirations.
Pat Jankiewicz: How did you come up with the impressive painting for Trinity of Terrors?
Sam Shearon: Initially Scott Licina asked whether I'd be interested in creating a peice of dark-art for the front cover for the official programme to the event. It would be printed up as a limited edition comic sized souvenir to the Halloween weekend at the Palms to celebrate

Harry Brown Review

»
After a long and distinguished career, Michael Caine has announced his retirement from lead film roles aiming to instead focus on supporting parts. Having burst on to the film scene with the likes of Get Carter and Zulu, the erstwhile Mr Micklewhite has been an enduring screen personality in fare ranging from Jaws: The Revenge through to Hannah And Her Sisters. His final bow comes in the shape of debut helmer Daniel Barber’s Harry Brown. The weight of playing host to a true legend like Caine’s last lead role could have overshadowed most films, a feat which Barber attempts to sidestep with his bold, if flawed, entry into the revenge film canon.
Caine stars, in a role pitched somewhere between Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino and his own Get Carter, as the titular Harry Brown, a man very deeply at odds with modern Britain. He is a lonesome

Despite pushing back production on Halloween 3-D due to possible financial woes within the company, The Weinstein Company is still keeping its fingers crossed about getting a Hellraiser remake off the ground after two years of attempts. At the American Film Market, ShockTillYouDrop reports that The Weinsteins included a synopsis for the remake, listing no director or writer but creator Clive Barker as Executive Producer in their Afm guide.
The re-telling of Clive Barker's classic horror masterpiece. Based
on Barker's critically acclaimed novella The Hellbound Heart, Hellraiser tells the story of an unfaithful wife who attempts to assist her dead lover in his escape from hell. Having lost his earthly body to a trio of forsaken demons — lead by one of the most enduring horror characters of all time, Pinhead — he must force his former mistress to bring him the necessary human sacrifices to complete his body.

Nevermind the Turmoil: Here’s the Hellraiser Remake Synopsis

Truth be told, I will be very, very surprised if this “Hellraiser” remake ever gets off the ground. Every other day I’m hearing war stories from deep within the production, ranging from a host of talented directors jumping ship to gross interference from the knuckleheads at the Weinstein Company. There’s even a rumor floating around out there that the film will be shot in 3D, though I’m hoping this is nothing more than baseless Internet speculation. Despite all of these unsightly blemishes, Horror-Movies.ca is reporting that there’s an official synopsis currently in circulation. The words and phrases, of course, are subject to change.
Here’s what the producers are officially pimping:

Afm is yielding lots of genre fare this year, including posters and of course synopses that hold an early look at what we can expect from two pretty prominent genre films - the Hellraiser remake and Scream 4.
While Scream 4's synopsis is pretty thin, Hellraiser's is nice and meaty. Dig 'em both below.
Scream 4 Synopsis
The horror series that reignited the genre and grossed more than $500 million worldwide is back! From Kevin Williamson, creator of the original Scream trilogy, the new film sees the return of cast members Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette along with a group of new stars, who can all hopefully stay alive long enough to figure out the new rules to this one-of-a-kind horror franchise!
