Firefly Star Encounters Mothman on Syfy

No relation to the awful Mothman Prophecies movie (if you ever read the book, then you know why I just described the film as awful; and if you have never read the book, you should and then you, too, will realize why the film was so lame), Syfy has finally checked off enough other cryptids from its list to make a new film about the Mothman starring a "Firefly".

Being American? Being Human Redux Coming to Syfy

For those of you out there who missed the first season of UK mini-series "Being Human" on BBC America, make it your business to watch it on demand if you can. The show was a powerhouse of good old fashioned horror that played like a completely supernatural version of "Three's Company" but with tons more bite. Like all good things from overseas ... an American version is now on the way.

Finally a Syfy Flick About Mongolian Death Worms!

I've long had a theory that either someone at Syfy or enterprising producers that make movies for Syfy keep tabs on the various cable cryptozoology programs like "MonsterQuest" looking for ideas for future Syfy creature features. The news that Mongolian Death Worms will be premiering on Syfy next year pretty much confirms my suspicions.

Syfy to Premiere Monster as Part of Its Ani-Monday Series

VIZ Media has announced the debut of Naoki Urasawa's animated series Monster on Syfy beginning on October 12th as part of the latest season of the network’s "Ani-Monday" programming block. Monster is based on the critically acclaimed manga series by Urasawa that is published in North America by VIZ Media.

Tweet Along with Wrong Turn 2 Director Joe Lynch

This weekend sees two showings of the better than it should have been Wrong Turn 2 on Syfy as part of the channel's "31 Days of Halloween" programming. You can catch it Saturday, 10/03/09 at 9PM ET/6PM PT and again on Sunday, 10/04/09 at 5PM ET/2PM PT. Normally we wouldn't report on a film being shown on TV -- after all, that happens every day -- but this one has an added bonus. Read on for more details.

First Children of the Corn Remake TV Spot

The Children of the Corn franchise really does have supernatural powers. It must. They just keep making these flicks - no matter how badly they do or how dismal they are. Which brings us to the remake that's just about ready to make its debut on SyFy.

Bryan Singer and Syfy Get on the 2012 Bandwagon

For those of you that haven't heard, the world is going to end on December 21, 2012. We know this because the Mayan calendar ends on that date, and who are we to dispute the timetable skills of a long extinct culture. For those of you who are unsure of what to expect three years from now, Roland Emmerich has a movie opening this November depicting the apocalypse to come. Or you can wait another year for the Syfy Channel version Bryan Singer has in the works.

Syfy Slates Dushku's Graves, New Corn for September

Remember that Eliza Dushku movie about a group of surfers finding a cursed board game that claims a life whenever played? It seems like we've been reporting about Open Graves for a couple years now. That might be because we have. We last reported on it this past February, quoting Dushku herself as being unsure if or when the film would see the light of day. How does September 19th on Syfy sound?

Syfy's Summer of Schlock

The Sci-Fi Channel's name change to Syfy makes me think of a scene from the classic miniseries "Roots". The evil white man wanted to change Kunta Kinte's name to Toby. They whipped him until he said it. Afterwards, a fellow African told him they can call him whatever they want; he knows his true name is Kunta Kinte. Bonnie Hammer can use that bullwhip on me all she wants; I know that Syfy will always be Sci-Fi, and not just because the words are pronounced exactly the same.
