Corey Haim plays joke from the grave

Heh heh ;)

Big fire in a hotel. Firefighters stumble upon murder scene, and police investigate. It's described by the police chief as the most grisly scene he's witnessed in his career.

Kudos to the prop crew and special effects team who… designed the room for the movie, New Terminal Hotel with the late Corey Haim.

Full story here.

More on the movie itself here.

Saddies for the 12 who've died in the hotel (it's haunted, so of course humans want to blame the ghosts).

Hey, did anyone notice the trend of murderous farmers hanging the bodies of their victims in the fields?

Fox muses vampires

Are vampires real? Well, these three certainly aren't.

Fox muses the scientific possibility of vampires. The annual articles debating if vampires are real seem to be happening more often… or at least every time some stupid human-made vampire film is released.

Here comes the science.

Read it, and weep… tears of ketchup if you don't mind.

Kong's skeleton

King Kong's skeleton.

Found this at Millions of Monkeys.

The original King Kong skeleton was sold at a Christie's auction for $218K. Long live King Kong.

The Rocky Horror Picture trendies

How about give them the world record so we never have to "do the time warp" again.

Rocky Horror fans make bid for world's largest Time Warp.

Bobbie Blob is working out

Bobbie Blob has been captured (partially)!

A good friend of mine, Bobbie Blob has been training of the Alaskan coast. She's trying to get used to cold weather so that next time she eats all the popcorn in the movie theater, the locals can't freeze her. I'm sure it had something to do with all the collateral victims. There were people in that theater.

Anywho. They found her...

Clicky.

Readers don't watch movies

Apparently, library goers never watch movies or heard of Poltergeist. You wouldn't catch me borrowing one of their books when they get this library finished!

This sheet has holes in it

Part of me doesn’t even want to feed the machine with publiciy mentions like this, but I like Ricky Gervais enough that I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt that he’s not involved. After all, chances are his staff and crew are setting him up to make this look even more authentic. Maybe they don’t trust his acting ability?
According to this article at starpulse.com, Ricky Gervais was spooked during press junkets for his new movie, Ghost Town (of course). They were being held at the reputedly haunted Roosevelt Hotel.
Gervais wasn’t even involved in any of they haunting events, which if you ask me, sound like hype from giddy production people. For the record, ghosts have had no physical interaction for a long time. It’s not likely they’ll be pushing anyone out of bed. That must have been one ugly production assistant.

The last of the Montauk Monster

This is the last I’ll be saying about this creature. The poor thing needs to rest in peace… unless of course it’s a movie prop.
If you’d like to continue to follow this story, I found this site that is dedicated to it… along with several banner ads :/

It ain’t cool news

Ain’t It Cool News is reporting that MTV is doing a remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Are there really no writers out there with bright imaginations for new ideas, or are producers so lazy that they will only invest in existing franchises?
Before you know it The Rocky Horror Picture Show (redeux) will inspire a new Broadway Musical. Now that would be original. Not.

White zombies can’t jump

George Romero had it right from the beginning, and he’s sticking to his guns. He believes zombies can’t run, and he’s right. Betty Bones is a zombie, and she can’t beat me in a race across Dread Falls. Granted she’s a bit further along the decomposition path, but I know other zombies, and they are like molasses.
Here’s a link to the article I found. Kudos to George Romero for truth.

Buffy the serial killer class

Do you live in or near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania? Maybe next semester you can take a class dedicated to the study of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Don’t they already have serial killer classes in the criminal justice major?

The girl is a vampire, sent to drain

There’s hope yet for the mortals. A vampire film won the top prize at the seventh Tribeca Film Festival. The Swedish film Let the Right One In is about a boy who falls for a vampire girl. It’s not me. I don’t have a high tolerance for humans. Read more here.

Creature from the remake lagoon

One of my favorite classic monster movies is being remade, though it seems it may take some time. Breck Eisner plans to revisit The Creature from the Black Lagoon. I’m not sure I love the idea that he’s not going to be portrayed as a monster. Are humans really that afraid of monsters? They’re also not casting a real monster for the part. Here we go again with CGI taking jobs away from all of us. Read the Shock Til You Drop article here.

Wales at the moon

I don’t usually care much for entertainment news, but this is worth mentioning: Anthony Hopkins is filming a remake of Lon Chaney, Jr.’s original The Wolf Man. I hope they don’t ruin it. I’d hate to see his Hannibal Lecter character bleed into this role. Mmm, bloody rolls.
The article is more hype than anything. The headline and first paragraph mention fans swarming the set, but it looks more like a press release. Can anyone from Wales verify this?
