The October 2011 DVD release list is starting to fill up with news of two more movies that are hitting store shelves on October 18th: the Vicious Brothers' cinéma-vérité style Grave Encounters (review here) and Joe Nimziki’s The Howling: Reborn. Look for more info on each release, including cover art and specs, soon.

Well, this is unexpected! The trailer for The Howling: Reborn has quietly made its way online, and we have every pixel of it here for you curiosity seekers out there! Dig it and tell us what you think!

The Howling franchise has been around for what seems like forever. Yes, the sequels have been known to fly completely off of the rails sometimes, but hey, they're as tenacious as The Children of the Corn flicks! We're hoping this latest flick gets things back on track. We'll find out soon enough too as The Howling: Reborn has just scored itself some distro!

AFM 2010 is officially under way so expect to see all the sights from the showroom floor right here as we're there hunting for all the horror news fit to print, starting with your first glimpse at the early artwork for The Howling Reborn! Kind of cool, albeit a little generic if you ask us, but given the previous films in the franchise, we weren't expecting much. Dig it!

For a werewolf movie to be any good, it really needs a bitchin' looking monster. Other than the first film in The Howling franchise, most of the beasts in it have been mediocre at best. Though we have to say, it looks as if the folks behind the Joe Nimziki directed sequel, The Howling Reborn, are off to a fine start! The company behind the project, Moonstone Entertainment, has finally released a plot crunch for the film so dig it below to get your first idea of what to expect. Synopsis

Ever since it was announced at this year's AFM, Joe Nimziki's The Howling: Reborn reboot has piqued the interest of franchise fans while leaving others scratching their heads. Honestly, we lost count of how many sequels there are to the original flick, but here's hoping this one finally lives up to the source material.

Somewhere along the way we've lost track of how many movies there are in The Howling franchise. Six maybe? Yes. Six. True, most of them were of questionable quality and none ever came close to being as good as the original, but they do hold a special place in the hearts of some fans. Still, we're pretty excited to have the franchise coming back, and the first plot details of the upcoming The Howling Reborn have come to light.

A bit of official confirmation to start off your Thanksgiving week. We first told you of this flick during all that AFM madness, but today -- The Howling: Reborn (original story here) has been made official!

We lost count of exactly how many sequels there were to the werewolf classic The Howling. The troubled series has seen marsupials, freakshows, and even big-breasted sibling werewolves. Just when you thought it was over, the franchise is reborn!
