Guillermo del Toro

Remember that cruel April Fool's Day joke from last April? You know, the one about a director's cut of Mimic coming to DVD? Bingo. I'll never forget the confusion shown by Andrew Kasch when it seemed to be a prank, as he said he watched as people worked on it. Relax Andrew ... your sanity is saved. It's coming all right, along with Cronos, courtesy of Criterion.

Every time we do a news story about another project that Guillermo del Toro has attached himself to, we wonder how the heck he's going to squeeze it into his already overflowing schedule. But even as jaded as we are around these parts, we have to admit to feeling a twinge a excitement at the thought of del Toro teaming up with Disney to create new spooky animated films under the banner Disney Double Dare You.

Some people just don't know how to say no, and Guillermo del Toro seems to be one of them. The man has added yet another project to his overflowing plate, the dark Spanish-language thriller Los ojos de Julia ("Julia's Eyes"), which is set to begin lensing October 5th.

Some movement on the Guillermo del Toro produced Don't Be Afraid of the Dark remake. Two actors are getting ready to star beside the already cast Katie Holmes. Who might they be?

In the Creepy household one monster reigns supreme -- Frankenstein's monster! We have Frankenstein everything! When visionary director Guillermo del Toro first started talking about directing his version of the timeless tale, there was much rejoicing. He's the perfect choice for a re-envisioning. In a recent interview del Toro let it slip whom he has in mind for the role.

Hitting bookstores across the country on June 2nd, is the first book in a horrifying trilogy co-authored by horror-meister Guillermo del Toro and thriller/mystery award-winner Chuck Hogan. The Strain is but an introduction to some of the most horrific vampires to be seen or read about in QUITE some time (apologies to those folks who enjoy the romantic vampire novels – not my thing).

It seems like the latest new thing in literary promotions is a video trailer for upcoming novels. And there isn't a more highly anticipated book on the horizon than Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's co-written The Strain, so of course it's gone viral too!

From the creator of such wondrous and chilling films as The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth now comes perhaps the ultimate in fear. "They have always been here. Vampires. In secret and in darkness. Waiting. Now their time has come. One week - Manhatten One month - The country Two months - The World"

Just a few scant hours ago we told you about Guillermo del Toro Helping to Bring Us Mama, a feature film based on what had to be a very special short film. So ... how would you like to see the short for yourself?

What makes Guillermo del Toro so special? It's not just the fact that he's one of our genre's most visionary directors. The truth is that no matter how successful he is, or how big he gets, he's always willing to help people trying to break into the biz. Case in point: Andy and Barbara Muschietti's latest horror film for Universal, Mama.
