Not a horror but its Robert Downey so it goes on the blog. You know the story he solves mysteries with Watson while smoking a pipe. Enjoy!

The guys over at Paranormal Activity definitely know how to get our attention that’s for sure. If you visit Paranormal’s website you can submit your information to have your name appear in the closing credits of the film when it’s released on DVD and Blu-Ray later this year. Fun.

In the spirit of the economy is in the toilet, I’ve decided to not lay into Nic Cage’s film choices right now. Since he is on the verge of bankruptcy (which equals nothing considering Nic is still hella rich in the scheme of things) he is apparently doing any and everything he is offered. At least I hope that’s his excuse, because Nicky’s movies have gotten gradually more and more horrid.
According to an interview with MTV, Ghost Rider 2 might turn out well for us. Apparently, they are going to chuck all the cheese and make it good. Here’s what screenwriter David Goyer has to say:
“It’s not exactly a reboot,” said Goyer, who’s currently hard at work on his “FlashForward” television series. “I hate to say it’s more realistic, because he’s got a flaming skull for a head, but it’s a bit more stripped down and darker. It’s definitely changing tone. What ‘Casino Royale’ was to the Bond movies, hopefully this will be to ‘Ghost Rider.’”
The “Ghost Rider” sequel is planned to “roll before cameras next year,” according to Goyer, who also said that Nicolas Cage is currently still attached to the lead role of Johnny Blaze.
“This story picks up eight years after the first film,” said Goyer. “You don’t have to have seen the first film. It doesn’t contradict anything that happened in the first film, but we’re pretending that our audience hasn’t seen the first film. It’s as if you took that same character where things ended in the first film and then picked it up eight years later—he’s just in a much darker, existential place.”
As for where that existential place might be, Goyer wouldn’t delve into specifics—mainly because he doesn’t have to.
“My script is out there on the Internet,” he said. “We’re not changing much from it. It’ll be significantly the same script.”

I’m not going to be as mean to this movie as I want to be, since I just got over the sickness I’ll be kind. I won’t tell you that if you watch the trailer, you’ve seen the more interesting of parts of the movie. I won’t tell you this movie needs to have Matt Damon in the lead instead of the generic Casey Affleck. And, I won’t ask you why certain starlets think playing a prostitute makes them suddenly a “real” actress? See, I can too be nice.
Here are the details and trailer, enjoy!
A West Texas deputy sheriff is slowly unmasked as a psychotic killer.

This is a different and cool new take on the genre’, it’s a web-based, interactive, gaming horror series. It’s called Circle of Eight and it stars DJ Qualls (Road Trip, All About Steve), and a really hot newcomer called, Ryan Doom. Seriously that’s the kids name. A sir name meant for horror. Here’s the details and trailer. Enjoy!
Jessica, a newcomer to the City of Angels, has just moved into a loft on the eighth floor of The Dante, a historic and eerie downtown building filled with friendly twenty-something neighbors who eagerly welcome her into their bohemian world. Or do they?
As Jessica races to unravel the mystery behind a chain of horrifying deaths that only she seems to see, she’ll come face-to-face with the chilling truth behind her connection to The Dante. Join her and her hot neighbor, Evan, in ten intense episodes that offer multiple levels of interaction, including hidden clues, mobile content, an online game and exclusive material that builds the back story of the characters and their relationships and gives the audience the chance to affect their futures.
Each episode consists of a 6 to 8 minute video, interactive hotspots and pop up clues, an interactive discovery experience and a classic trivia game. There are 40 Pop Up Clues placed throughout the series. Each time you watch an episode you will receive a different clue. Clues are also randomized across the audience so that each person will receive clues in a different order. One of those clues unlocks exclusive mobile content. These clues are the pages of Evan’s private art journal. Each Image contains a number of clues that deepen the story’s plot line.

I hate everything recycled but I have to admit to be one of the three people watching Eastwick as well so I lose all creditability. But, I was pretty psyched when they announced the new V. Now, I confess I re-watched the original on Syfy the other night and I still liked it, a lot. I mean Diana’s make-up and hair alone made it worth it, seriously. Flashward to last night’s show, gone was Diana’s hair, Marc Singer’s furrowed brow, and Freddy Kruger, replaced by Elizabeth Mitchell(’s toned down forehead, I must add), Morris Chestnut and a spankin new Anna character, who looks like she just had a great massage and spa day.
Yes times have improved because the CGI in the show was bangin’ and the Motherships looked way better than the flying toys from 1983. And the make-up was also much improved also a plus. But, I have to say I was bothered we got the big reveal of the Visitor’s lizardness and the overall they’re up to not good sinster-ness. Too soon! I know we’re on a schedule, but the set-up felt rushed. Other than that and Scott Wolf not doing it for me since 1995, the show is off to a good start. Thoughts, groans, moans, don’t care, that’s fine too.

My inner nerd is all in a tizzy over this, could be the flu meds, but no it’s definitely V. While on my deathbed Sunday I watched the 1983 version all night on Syfi, sad but true story. Anyway the spanking new version premiere’s tonight!
Giant spaceships appear over 29 major cities of the world, and Anna, the beautiful and charismatic leader of the extra-terrestrial “Visitors”, claims to come in peace. As a small number of humans begin to doubt the sincerity of the seemingly benevolent Visitors, FBI counter-terrorism agent Erica Evans discovers that the aliens have spent decades infiltrating human governments and businesses, and are now in the final stages of their plan to take over the planet. Erica joins the resistance movement, which includes Ryan, a Visitor sleeper agent who wants to save humanity. However, the aliens have won favor among the people of Earth by curing a variety of diseases, and have recruited Earth’s youth—including Erica’s son—to serve them unknowingly as spies.
Unfortunately there will not be a Donovan (Marc Singer) in the tightest jeans on the planet and Diana (Jane Badler) to look forward to, but we do have Elizabeth Mitchell’s out of control eyebrows, so fun! And we can drool over Morris Chestnut. We’ll talk.

I’ve come down the with a case of sickness so I’ll make this brief. Have some candy and watch a good horror movie or watch Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2. You’ll laugh and laughing always helps.
These lovely little tidbits come from our friends over at Entertainment Weekly. Sink your teeth into these. Get it, vampires, teeth? I asked you to sink your teeth in…yeah. Enjoy!
* Tommy Mickens is a grungy but handsome man in his early ‘20s who just so happens to be Sam Merlotte’s long-lost younger brother. Apparently, at some point he’ll be showing his unadorned backside, which, with Sam’s similar feral tendency towards the “full moon,” proves that they really must be related after all.
*After his mysterious abduction, Bill finds himself with the latest addition to the True Blood Gallery of Impossibly Attractive Male Vampires (or the TBGIAMV). Talbot, a bitingly (har har) sarcastic vampire with a model’s looks, will appear starting in the second episode as a guide of sorts for the kidnapped vamp.
* More news on the PYT front is the appearance of Jesus Velasquez, an unordinary orderly with a heart to match his good looks.
* In a friendly bit of one-upmanship, Tara gets her very own over-protective vampire buddy. And a “sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy” one at that. That’s right, four sexys. Eat that, Sookie. The neckbiter, Franklin Mott, is also clearly in the running for TBGIAMV status.
* We’ve had vampires, shape-shifters, and demi-gods, and now the next supernatural spook to waltz through Louisiana is…rednecks?! Well, maybe they aren’t so unearthly, but they can sure pack a punch and we can expect a group of them, led by a guy named Coot (of course), to unleash their mobile home magic on some of our dear characters.
* Jason Stackhouse will find that his notoriously limitless libido has taken a hit, when two NYU girls, Jen and Missy, ménage à try to get him into the sack to little avail.
* Yvetta, Fangtasia’s new Czechoslovakian dancer, is tremendously hot and comfortable being in the buff. Oh, and she makes lots of sexy time with Eric. (Don’t shoot the messenger!)
* Tara’s ever-distraught mom turns to the church for comfort (and maybe a little more) in the form of the honorable Reverend Daniels.

I’m still not fully on board with Leo in a horror, because I’m still jaded about Secret Window, Johnny Depp’s half-ass return to “horror”, so can Leo pulls this off? We shall see , I guess. Yes, I know Johnny and Leo have nothing to do with each other, but it’s the way mind works. Anyway to refresh the noggin, here’s the story:
It’s 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston’s Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He’s been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn’t been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy’s shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals “escape” in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything – his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.
