Lionsgate opens for Solomon Kane, Genius takes Tell Tale
10 November 2009 12:05 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Fango editor Tony Timpone reported in from the American Film Market with word that Lionsgate has apparently picked up U.S. rights to Solomon Kane. The supernatural adventure was written and directed by Deathwatch and Wilderness helmer Michael J. Bassett, based on the character created by Conan scribe Robert E. Howard.
Release plans have yet to be ironed out, though our source suggests the film might get theatrical play before heading to DVD. We’ll keep you posted on confirmed details. Solomon Kane stars James Purefoy (pictured) in the title role of a mercenary who has renounced his violent, bloodthirsty past, then finds his soul tested when he must protect a family from evil forces. The cast also includes The Exorcist’s Max Von Sydow, The Omen’s Pete Postlethwaite, Sleepwalkers’ Alice Krige and An American Haunting’s Rachel Hurd-Wood.
In addition, it was revealed yesterday that Genius Products has nabbed U. »

Tortured Overtures: Horror Film Score Themes of the 1970s
3 November 2009 12:12 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Undertones: Volume 7 It's the time of the year again where folks' minds turn to the macabre and the ghoulish; where death is celebrated rather than feared and of course, when dusty copies of horror films are taken off the shelf to terrify and amuse. So, in honor of the Halloween season it would seem only right that this installment of Undertones concern itself with the scores of horror films or, more specifically, those that emerged during a particularly groundbreaking and ultra-violent decade of cinema - the 1970s. Many of the horror films of the 1970s did not involve supernatural beings such as vampires, werewolves and swamp things, but the terrors of home and society at large. The menacing figures of films such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Hooper, 1974) and Halloween (Carpenter, 1978) may have worn crazy masks and looked decidedly 'un-human' but the messages these films posited concerned themselves with that of »

The Colour of Fear is Orange
30 October 2009 10:13 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Halloween is a time quite custom designed for tricks, treats and terror. In the world of cinema, there is no film as notoriously terrifying as William Friedkin’s The Exorcist. As a special treat to Orange Film Club members, the tree-lined depths of Tower Hamlets Cemetery came alive tonight with clergy, fog, spirits and curious lights – all leading the way to a cinema screen in a clearing. The eyes and ears of HeyUGuys were there in the dark, peering down the spooky paths, heart jumping in our dry throat waiting for something to go bump in the night. And what a night it was!
Before the screening we spoke with Empire Magazine’s horror expert, Mr Kim Newman*, who echoed our awe over the astonishing location. Kim had no hesitation in accepting Orange’s invite to come along and introduce the audience to their evening’s entertainment:

Halloween List-Making Invades The MTV Newsroom
30 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
For this week's final Halloween movies list, I decided to turn hit up the real superstars: my co-workers here in the MTV Newsroom who keep this great ship moving every damn day. After the jump you'll find recommendations and reminiscences from around the office. If you're game for some heavy reading, make sure to check out the last write-up, detailing Joel Hanek's pick: "Ernest Scared Stupid." Oh yes, he went there.
As for myself (MTV Movies Blog editor Adam Rosenberg), it's a toss-up. To this day I still have occasional nightmares relating to "Candyman," the Bernard Rose-directed, Virginia Madsen-starring horror flick based on a tale by novelist Clive Barker. There's something uniquely terrifying about the Candyman's ability to attack at any time, day or night. When horror can touch you even in the relative safety of sunlight, that's something to fear.
The other one that still gets me, »

50 Influential Scream Queens: Part 2
27 October 2009 10:57 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Before I launch into the conclusion of my 50 Influential Scream Queens (read part 1 here), please let me remind you that this list is based upon my personal taste, and my personal taste alone. I didn't poll 100 Fango readers, the Fango staff or any other form of 'industry professionals'. It's all opinion, so if you feel I've wronged a certain actress by excluding them from the list, don't leap to brand the entire Fango crew 'vile'. I probably just don't personally find their work to be that influential. Either that or I'm just ignorant to their accomplishments!
25. Mia Farrow: Mia's genre work may be a bit limited, but that doesn't change the fact that Rosemary's Baby will forever be regarded as one of the creepiest films in history. Farrow's portrayal of Rosemary Woodhouse is harrowing to say the least, and will always remain (in my mind) one of the best performances the genre has seen. »

Bob Burns’ Screaming Video
22 October 2009 2:34 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
When was the last time Halloween came five times in one month? It’s been happening this October thanks to Bob Burns, monster kid fandom’s legendary “gift that keeps on giving”—and it has only taken him 42 years to get it all together! At the Bob Burns’ Hollywood Halloween website, a two-hour-plus documentary telling the story of Bob and Kathy Burns’ live Halloween shows has been serialized; the first of the five parts became available on October 5, and the rest are being spaced throughout the month.
For newbies, a bit of backstory: In 1967, Bob and wife Kathy, ensconced in their new Burbank home, decided to do a little more for trick-or-treaters than drop candy in their bags. When kids knocked on the door, it opened to reveal a “mad lab” complete with Frankenstein’s Monster (a dummy strapped to a diagonal operating table) and crackling lab equipment. For the next several years, »

FX Lab: A Conversation with Andrew Clement
15 October 2009 11:26 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
From working FX on SNL and Letterman to creating monsters for Dark Shadows, Andrew Clement has some tales to tell. Recently-wrapped on the reboot of A Nightmare On Elm Street (for which he redesigned Freddy Krueger), Jason Anders caught up with Clement for a candid conversation about his world of Creative Character Engineering.
Ja/Fangoria: So let's begin with your work as a make-up artist for NBC's Saturday Night Live; tell me about the work you did for the show, how you became involved, the memories you have being around the cast of actors, and which seasons you were involved in.
AC: I wish I had been involved in the first few seasons of SNL, it was such a fertile time for the show. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I’m not quite that old. As it is, I watched those shows in Jr. High and High School, and now I have the DVD’s. »

Devilish Delights at Devil Horn Studios
11 October 2009 7:49 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Once in awhile we run across something that comes in and could fit in several sections of the website. Thus is the case with Devil Horn Studios, a one-woman operation based out of Minnesota. Christina Crowther crafts horrific items that could be considered Killer Kollectibles, or a part of the Fangoria Lifestyle.
In the height of the busy Halloween Season, Devil Horn items have made the jump from online availability to being sold in their first mall location. Let's take a peek at these wicked wares after the jump.
Crowther says she honed her skills by crafting dolls for friends and building a home-based haunt after completing Dick Smith (The Hunger, The Exorcist) 's Special FX Course. Her products range from creepy "gothic reborn" dolls, sinister skulls, and other assorted oddities.
"Each doll has unique details and coloring such as bruises and injuries and is created to look very lifelike", says Crowther. »

Discuss: Creepiest Movie Soundtracks
7 October 2009 3:45 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
"Listen to this!" A friend pressed the ringer on his BlackBerry, and it played the theme to The Omen, "Ave Satani" by Jerry Goldsmith, which he'd assigned to a particularly heinous client of his. Another friend had, for a time, assigned a relative the unforgettable score from Halloween as composed by writer/director John Carpenter himself. And I'm sure somewhere there is someone with the theme from The Exorcist, which was written by Mike Oldfield.
Ringtones aside, there's no denying that a deft soundtrack or score can ratchet up the tension in any movie, especially one that uses droning noises and other disturbing, almost subliminal effects that can slip past the viewer and straight into our brain. Some of my favorite spooky soundtracks sure to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end include the above, naturally, but there are a few that need some love as well. »

As the demonically-charged Jennifer's Body chomps its way into American theaters this week, we did a 360-degree head spin, marked out a pentagram and decided to sacrifice ourselves at the altar of movies' freakiest female possessions.

Who are the Greatest All-Time Scream Queens?
16 September 2009 12:49 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
With this week's release of Jennifer's Body it is inevitable the topic of scream queens will come up, and even if it doesn't... I'm bringing it up, but not in the form of a top ten. I really don't see how you can rank these ladies, or what purpose it would serve as several could take the top spot and the others all coming in a close second. They all bring a little something special to each of their films and remain memorable for their performances. So I present you a selection of classic scream queens, including all-timers such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh and Fay Wray, a few of my own favorites and a selection of memorable extras at the very end. However, once you look through my list tell me who I left off and who your favorite scream queens are. I think I've taken care of many of the obvious choices, »
