Movies: Tim Burton's Dark Shadows and Frankenweenie

Hello there my spooky kids!

Great news for every Tim Burton fan (and I include myself in there!).

We will get TWO new movies from this horror genius this year;

First one I'm going to talk about: Dark Shadows, and the release date is actually quite close, the 11th of May!

Among the cast, we find the usual names such as Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, and other not-so-usual but interesting ones such as Michelle Pfeiffer.

The movie's based on a TV show from the 60s and it's a vampire-related story.

The second one is "Frankenweenie", starring Winona Ryder, which will be released the 5th of October and tells us how Young Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous, consequences. I'm pretty sure you're familiar with this one anyway since it's based on his old shorts... ;)

Don't know about you but I'm bloody excited about this!

Movies: New Frankenstein movie!

Hello there little monsters! long time no see!

I'm deadly busy, but I will try to bring some interesting stuff from time to time, and I'm starting with great news for Frankenstein fans (like me!).

Apparently, 20th Century Fox is working on a retelling of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. It will be directed by Shawn Levy and the script is being written by Max Landis, but there's very little info about this project right now.

What do you think about it? High or low expectations? In my opinion, no one will ever be as good as my beloved Mr. Karloff... but this could be quite interesting! Wohooo!

Movies: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2011)

The eerie remake of the 1973 television movie 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark' is set to be released on August 26th 2011. The plot centres around Sally Hirst's (Bailee Madison) terrifying experience with creatures that stalk her after she moves into a new house with her father (Guy Pearce) and his girlfriend (Katie Holmes). 

The film is co-produced & co-written by Guillermo del Toro and directed by comic book artist / creator of the short film 'Latchkey's Lament', Troy Nixey and, whilst Katie Holmes and Guy Pearce being the adult leads does put me off somewhat, perhaps Nixey can bring out the best in them. The trailers (the one posted below for example) do seem promising,  but I have to admit that a large proportion of my faith in this movie comes from del Toro's involvement in it.

Movies: Suspiria: The Remake

Hello there my spooky kids!

Brief but interesting news I bring you today!

Looks like the famous Dario Argento movie, "Suspiria", will have its remake filmed soon by the director David Gordon Green. According to him, there won't be any key differences but it will be adapted to a girl's boarding school instead of a ballet academy (which, for me, IS a key difference but well, we'll have to wait to see how it might affect the storyline... or not!).

Definitely, great news for us horror fans to see such a classic back onto the big screen!
