‘Tis the night after Christmas, and all through the studio, not a creature is stirring, not even Dee Snider. Dee and Debbie Rochon and Tony Timpone are all taking the holiday off tonight, but Fangoria Radio won’t leave you all alone.
Tonight’s show (airing on Sirius Xm Stars satellite radio, Sirius channel 102/Xm channel 155, from 10 p.m.-1 a.m., with a repeat immediately after) will let you relive a classic episode; Debbie and Tony co-hosted this one with Masters Of Horror creator Mick Garris, and some incredible guests (including a few fellow Masters) brought the fear:
• Wes Craven (pictured), the man behind classics like Last House On The Left, the Nightmare On Elm Street series and Scream to name only a few, talks about his past and present contributions to the genre
• John (An American Werewolf In London) Landis reflects on the unique combination of horror and »

• Fango got word that Anchor Bay will release Julian Doyle’s Chemical Wedding, under the new title of Crowley, in late first quarter 2009. Doyle also scripted the movie with Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson.
The movie stars Simon Callow as a Cambridge University professor who becomes possessed by the spirit of notorious occultist Aleister Crowley. Kal Weber, Lucy Cudden, Jud Charlton, Paul McDowell and John (Mirrors) Shrapnel co-star. Disc details haven’t been solidified, but we’re told there will be an audio commentary and behind-the-scenes footage. The Bay also alerted Fango that it’ll put the 20th Anniversary Edition of Hellraiser out on Blu-ray in April, with all the extras from the DVD. And the company’s cover art for Gilles Paquet-Brenner’s Walled In, starring Mischa Barton and set to hit disc March 17, has surfaced; we’ll have the specs on that one soon.

Shout! Factory has announced the impending release of four new episodes of the great and grand Mystery Science Theater 3000.

DVD box sets remain the go-to gift for any film fan in your life -- they come in a range of sizes and prices, so that you can scale up or down depending on how much you like the recipient, and this time of year they're often discounted for last-minute holiday shoppers (and those treating themselves to a present). Here are the new or revamped box sets from 2008 that we've been eyeing:
Mystery Science Theater 3000 20th Anniversary Edition
Shout Factory, $59.99
"Mystery Science Theater 3000"'s inaugural release from Shout Factory (after many years and discs with Rhino Records) celebrates the show's 20th anniversary with a spiffy box set featuring four never-released-to-dvd episodes: "Werewolf" (with the "great" Joe Estevez), "Future War," "First Spaceship on Venus" and the long-awaited and highly coveted "Laserblast," the final episode on Comedy Central. The set also includes an 80-minute documentary on the show's MSTory, »

At one point in the mid-'90s, Mystery Science Theater 3000 aired every weekday on Comedy Central, on the weekends in syndication, and in countless impromptu screenings of passed-around VHS tapes. By the end of the decade, the show had been booted off two cable networks, and it remains off the air today, in spite of the preponderance of new cable channels that could surely make use of MST3K's nearly 400 hours of programming. Meanwhile, the show's former cast keeps cooking up diluted MST3K-like projects, and the series has begun to lose its status as a common cultural reference. Perhaps Shout! Factory's new Mystery Science Theater 3000: 20th Anniversary Edition will help restore the show's proper legacy. Unlike the relatively featureless MST3K DVDs which Rhino has been releasing over the last decade, Shout! Factory's set contains actual special features—most notably, an 80-minute documentary. The set also contains the Joe Estevez. »

Cast: Raymond Turturro, Ashleigh Holeman, Duane Whitaker, Joe Estevez and Toby Radloff. Directed by: Andrew Campbell and Lucas Campbell Scores: Technical:85 , Story:95 , Acting:90 , Overall Score: 90 I always get super excited when I hear the Campbell brothers have put out a new movie. You want independent film at its finest? They’ll give it to you. Notorious for working with a low/no budget, the Campbell brothers really show you how far the dollar goes and provide you with some righteous entertainment. The Movie Cordoba Nights, the latest film from the brothers, follows Finn (Raymond Turturro), a pizza delivery guy, on his route one night in the city of Bronston. All seems to be going according to plan until he meets Allie (Ashleigh Holeman), [...] »
