Those of you who’ve listened to the Driller Killer commentary track already know that director Abel Ferrara is completely out of his mind.

If you were amongst the people rendered giddy by the news a few weeks back that Sylvester Stallone was readying a fifth Rambo movie that would have him on a savage hunt in search of a genetically engineered predatory monster (story here), Stallone still intends to tackle that monster but no longer with the character of John Rambo.

If there's anything that can make the prospect of a Fright Night remake by DreamWorks more palatable, it's the name of the screenwriter who's been tapped for the redux - Marti Noxon. Ms. Noxon has been in the business of writing about vamps and how best to bring them down since 1997, when she started working on the series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" over the course of 23 episodes.

Instead of flat-out just saying they're canceling the series "Eastwick", ABC is beating about the bush with reports that they've "decided not to order additional episodes" beyond its initial 13. Seven of them have aired with the remaining six scheduled to be shown after a two-week break for some special programming on the network.

Here's one we didn't see coming. The Reincarnation of Peter Proud isn't exactly what you would call an A-list movie getting the remake treatment; however, there's some big time A-list talent behind this retelling.

If demons, ghosts, werewolves, zombies, or vampires don't kill us all, rest assured we'll do a fine job of doing it ourselves. Yep, a post-apocalyptic world seems right around the corner, and wouldn't you know it -- despite the world being seventy percent water, The Drought will get us!

Even if you're not a wrestling fan, the odds are pretty good that at the very least you've heard of the phenom known as the WWE's The Undertaker. Plain and simple ... he's a big scary man. A film about this character seems like a no-brainer, and WWE Films is apparently inclined to agree.

Takashi Shimizu knows his stuff when it comes to making movies about really creepy ghosts that are pretty pissed off. In his latest film, The Shock Labyrinth, which was shot in 3D, he's taking his trademark pale spookers off of the screen and placing them right in your lap!
