Eli Roth’s Grindhouse Trailer

It’s called Thanksgiving, and here it is, along with a sneak peek at some of the other faux-trailers (courtesy flimwad.com). Oh, and if you haven’t heard, Tarantino is planning a longer cut of Death Proof for Cannes.

Manyak II

Here’s a Turkish Phantasm II poster for sale on eBay right now. I imagine the word “phantasm” doesn’t translate that well throughout the world, so it’s no suprise that the film’s title is “Manyak II,” which, according to the Turkish-English translator I found online, means “maniac” or “manical” (sadly, not some half-human, half-yak centaur-like creature).

Godzilla vs Jacko!

In what a appears to be a premature April Fool’s Day joke, Michael Jackson is said to be in the process of having a giant robot of himself built, which would wander the desert near Vegas. From the Yahoo music news story:
“Michael Jackson is in discussions about creating a 50-foot robotic replica of himself to […]

The Next Fad in Horror Movie Posters is Officially Here

C.H.U.D. just unveiled the new poster for the U.S. release of Fido, and while it looks sort of cool, it comes off as a rather tranparent attempt to capitalize on Grindhouse fever.

Dead Fury

I caught this trailer for Dead Fury on Frank Sudol’s MySpace page. It’s the follow-up feature to his Flash-animated City of Rott, which was released a little while ago by Unearthed Films. Judging by this clip, I’m pretty sure this is the goriest thing ever created in Flash. Thankfully, all that zombie hack ‘n’ slash […]

CBC Zombie Love

We stole this pic from the CBC site in their photo section (that’s the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, for our non-Canuck readers). It’s a fantastic zombie shot from last week’s CineMacabre night Fido premiere at the Bloor, here in Toronto.
If you want to see a truly horrifying pic, though, go to the CBC page, here, and […]

JAWS documentary needs YOUR help!

I’ve been keeping my good eye on the development of a Jaws documentary called “The Shark Is Still Working” for a while. I had almost forgot about it when I re-visited their website only to find out Universal still isn’t convinced their Jaws doc is any different from the ones on their many editions of […]

The Number of the Spam Beast

Every once in a while we’ll check the “Caught Spam” section of the blog to delete all the junk messages and allow any non-spam that was accidentaly blocked. I just checked it to discover:
Akismet has caught 666 spam for you since you first installed it.
