I just discovered (via Cracked.com) a fun website called The Editing Room, where the painfully concise and witty Rod Hilton writes condensed and wonderfully acerbic versions of Hollywood screenplays. For example, he efficiently cuts to the heart of Rob Zombie’s Halloween. A choice excerpt: DAEG is taken to an INSANE ASYLUM where MALCOLM MCDOWELL interviews [...]

The lovable sickos at Vagrancy Films, who provide the mad movie trailers of our CineMacabre nights, are screening a 35mm print of Fulci’s Zombie, this Saturday, 11pm at the Rainbow Galleria, in London Ontario. If you haven’t seen Zombie on 35mm with a theatre full of horror fans, you haven’t really lived… or un-lived. And, [...]

Don’t forget, it’s movie night tonight, and it’s a big one. For this month only we’re presenting CineMacabre on Wednesday so we can bring back (in 35mm) the slasher sensation from last year’s Midnight Madness program at TIFF, Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s Inside.

Horror Comedies, which are some of the most re-watchable and fun movies out there. Major extra points for including The Burbs, an office favourite. #27: Fright Night #26: Buffy the [...]

Artists were asked to contribute works dedicated to low-budget, grindhouse and b-movie fright flicks. What’s not to love about that? [...]

Boingboing posted a link to this brief but awesome slide-show of nasty vintage horror comic book covers. The one with the severed head was made an example of during the inquiry that gave birth to the Comics Code Authority, as detailed in the story from this recent post.

Over at thedeadbolt.com, there’s a column called Movie Matchmaker dedicated to pairing up a filmmaker with the perfect yet-to-be-made movie project. Currently, they’d like David Fincher to direct the adaptation of Max Brooks’ World War Z, which seems like a fantastic idea. I love World War Z, in fact I’d go so far as to [...]

The best April Fools’ Day jokes are usually the ones that could almost be true. Case in point: this great piece on Firefox News. And after this remake, I can’t wait to see Dark Castle Entertainment do a remake of, say, House of Wax…maybe with someone like Paris Hilton in the cast! Hahahahahahahahah! That’d be [...]
