Fear Itself

Monday, December 1st, 2008

ShockTillYouDrop.com has written up a mini history/autopsy of “Fear Itself”, formerly “Masters of Horror”.  I rather enjoyed the few “Masters of Horror” works that I have seen, and really do intend on picking up a few more.

Essentially, Masters of Horror, a series that struggled to return to Showtime for a third season, was packaged in ‘07 with a new title. It found a new home at NBC under the moniker Fear Itself with Lionsgate committed to take over home video distribution duties.

William Shatner’s Quantum Cthulhu Christmas

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

What do William Shatner, Quantum Physics, Frosty the Snowman, and Cthulhu have in common?  Not much save for the film in which Mr. Shatner will be voicing Santa in a world where an attempt to take his picture has screwed with the time/space continuum and has brought about the potential end of the world.

What kind of entities? Think “Frosty meets Cthulhu,”

Is there really anything more that can be said to describe just how awesome this sounds?  I doubt it.  Maybe.  Read more at the MTV MovieBlog.

Del Toro’s Frankenstein

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Those of you who read my posts regularly, will probably have guessed that I love Guillermo Del Toro’s work.   He’s awesome.  Seriously.  So when I saw this bit of news about Del Toro making a Frankenstein movie, you know I immediately had to jump to linking it here, as it made me happy like a little school boy.

“I’m not doing ‘Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein.’ I’m doing an adventure story that involves the creature. I cannot say much, but it’s not the central creation story, I’m not worried about that. The fact is I’ve been dreaming of doing a ‘Frankenstein’ movie since I was a child. The one thing I can promise is, compared to Kenneth Branagh, I will not appear shirtless in the movie!”
