For whatever reason, our trailer from a couple of weeks ago is no longer available for the Platinum Dunes 2010 remake of horror classic A Nightmare on Elm Street.  Well, here's another look at the official teaser trailer for the flick, one showing some background footage of our favorite pedophilic burn victim with bad humor, Mr. Fred Krueger.

So what's an October without vampires?  And no, I'm not talking about wan, lame ass emo-vampires that seem to be all the craze these days.  No Twilight here, no sissified "True Blood" ghouls, we're talking about James Woods kicking some REAL vampire ass in John Carpenter's Vampires.  Which is exactly what we have for you to watch uncut, in its entirety below!

Cheesy, schlocky, over the top ridiculous, Carpenter's 1998 film is all kinds of fun.  When a vengeful vampire slayer must retrieve an ancient Catholic relic that, should it be acquired by vampires, will allow them to endure sunlight - a classic template is set for the ghastly to meet the comic.  I mean, how can a flick originally slated for Dolph Lundgren to star, only to be replaced by James Woods, not be? Also keep an eye out for a quick cameo by The Mist director Frank Darabont during a stolen car sequence. 

Peep the whole flick below!

For those who see the title of this post and instantly think, what the hell is a Bad Lieutenant flick doing on a horror site.  Lemme tell you.

First off, the acting of Nic Cage in the last handful of years has been nothing short of downright terrifying.  Secondly, when Werner Herzog is at the helm, you know some ghastly or at least some emotionally shattering shit is about to go down.  Third, there is something awfully unsettling about a high ranking cop more concerned about landing scores of dope than he is helping post-Katrina victims, which is exactly what Cage does in Bad Lieutenant: Port Call of New Orleans.

And then there's Val Kilmer. 

Just take a look at the trailer below and tell me you don't want to see this.  Seriously!

So here we are again, back to scoff at another funny-ass moment in a horror flick.  This time out we're looking at the immortal dance Crispin Glover displays in what happens to be my favorite Friday entry, Friday the 13th IV: The Final Chapter. 

In the clip, good ole George McFly is getting cozy in some in some harmless adolescent debauchery.  Soon a record is tossed on and Glover can't help but go cow-shit insane with a hyper, spasmodic, no doubt drug-induced dance gesture that puts me in tears everytime out. 

Ah hell, just take a look below!

 

 

So Michael Dougherty, writer of X-2 and Urban Legends: Bloody Mary, a man born on Halloween, now turns his writing/directing skills to a project he’s been said to have envisioned some 25 years ago.  And after years in post-production and distribution limbo, Dougherty’s new film Trick r’ Treat is by many accounts one of the best horror flicks to grace the big screen in quite some time.  And we have a glut of images for you!

 

Though released direct-to-video, Dougherty’s film is a four-part anthological spook-fest, each story taking place on Halloween.  In specific: 1.) an everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; 2.) a college virgin might have just met the one guy for her; 3.) a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; 4.) a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband.

 

Trick r’ Treat premiered on DVD yesterday (October 6), and can be nabbed just in time for Halloween.  Cop a look at some of the images after the break, and feel free to click HERE to find even more.

 

 

While Marty Scorsese's new film Shutter Island is hardly a horror film proper, there's no denying the elements of psychological dread and revenants the flick looks to showcase. 

For those in the know not, the flick finds to U.S. Marshalls (Leo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo) that are summoned to a remote and barren island of the coast of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island's fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.

Based on a Dennis Lehane novel of the same name, Shutter Island hits theaters February 19, 2010. Take a look at the cool second trailer below!

If there's one horror remake I'm actually willing to give a day in court, it's Breck Eisner's retelling of George A. Romero's 1973 film The Crazies.  Why? Because all of the feedback for the film thus far is positive, and Breck Eisner's episode of "Fear Itself" was actually pretty cool. 

Well now, we have a pretty kickass trailer to further prove such an assetion.  The flick stars Radha Mitchell, Timothy Olyphant, Danielle Panabaker, Joe Anderson, Preston Bailey, Larry Cedar, Christie Lynn  Smith, Lexie Behr and Justin Price. 

The Crazies opens wide February 26, 2010.

Snag a peep at the new HD trailer below!

 

Now that fall’s afoot, you can all once again look forward to a steady dose of Frog Baby’s underrated horror gems.  This time out I’m not calling to attention to an esoteric title or film bound to go unnoticed by hardcore horror heads, I’m actually interested in talking about a specific cut of a well known horror outing.  In specific, we’re rockin’ Dario Argento’s version of George A. Romero’s 1978 zombie masterwork Dawn of the Dead.    

 

After the groundbreaking 1968 film Night of the Living Dead lead to Romero being one of the most recognizable names in the genre, audiences around the globe took interest.  So when his follow up zombie creation, released a decade later, finally came about, it behooved international audiences to exhibit the film and foster artistic support of Romero.  Why wouldn’t it? 

 

 

With a perfect name for a horror director, Tom Shankland (The Killing Gene) is poised to roll out his super-creepy new flick The Children - about a cabal of young kids who inexplicably turn on their parents during a Christmas vacation. 

With no rhyme or reason, the kids go bat-shit ballistic and try to kill their parents one by one.  In other-words, the kids have just accelerated their emotions to that of teenagers.  Seriously though, The Children, scripted by Paul Andrew Williams (The Cottage), promises to keep with the recent trend of effective demonic-children films (Grace, The Orphan, It's Alive, etc.), at the same time offering something fresh.  

Cop a peek at the new trailer for the film below, and make sure to see the entire feature when it is released on October 6th.  

 

Reminiscent of Alien and Event Horizon, Pandorum overcomes its laser tag and neon lights look with a surprisingly smart and chilling story. Go see it.
