The name Henry Selick may or may not jump out at you, but we can assure you that you're very much familiar with his incredible stop-motion work on new classics like Coraline, James and the Giant Peach, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Dread Central favorite Gris Grimly has taken the time to speak a bit about the genesis and the current state of his upcoming stop-motion telling of Pinocchio that he's making in conjunction with Mark Gustafson and Guillermo del Toro, and it's great to hear from the man himself.

Last June we told you about a new animated series based upon the hit television series here in the States, "Supernatural". Though details were thin, we've finally gotten our hands on a preview for you! Dig it!

Around these parts we've been singing the praises of artist Gris Grimly for several years now. Simply put, the man has a very distinct and eye-catching style all of his own. It's nice to see the rest of the world catching up!

More news coming out of the New York Comic Con, this time involving comic/illustrated film pioneers Halo-8, who are joining forces with Graphic.ly Inc. for digital distribution of Halo-8's comic books. If you're at the Con and want to learn more, you can stop by Graphic.ly's booth, where Halo-8's Matt Pizzolo and actress Nicki Clyne are appearing on Saturday, October 9th.

With the sun having set on the fifth season of one of the most kickass horror shows ever, "Supernatural", it's only natural that some spin-offs start popping up.

Shannen Doherty was a huge part of this writer’s teenage years. Even though for most of America it was her work as Brenda Walsh on “90210” that made her a household name and an icon to legions of teenagers, for me it was always her performance as Heather Duke (or the Blue Heather for those who may not be as well-versed in the Heathers universe) in the 1988 cult flick Heathers that made her one of my favorite actresses working at that time.

With the summer season fast approaching, most shows are lapsing into reruns until the fall, leaving audiences hungry for new and interesting content. And that's where the good people at FEARnet come into play, as they ready their new animated horror/comedy series, Mari-Kari. And we've got an early look today, just for you!

Nothing like taking the kitchen sink approach to a project, which is what it sounds like A. Lee Martinez did when writing the novel Gil's All Fright Diner about a vampire and werewolf who team up to fight zombies after stopping at a diner in the desert that is a conduit for the supernatural.

We're all waiting patiently for September to roll around, which brings with it the release of Focus Features' animated fantasy, 9. In the meantime, we've got a look at the final one sheet and a host of promotional material that should tide you over until the Shane Acker directed fantasy goes into limited release on September 9, 2009.

Canadians are getting a special horror treat this week. According to HorrorMovies.ca, Peur(s) du Noir (Fears of the Dark) is set to premiere in Toronto at The Royal on March 6th.

In an example of two fates running concurrently to one another and finally meeting at the opportune time, both Darren G. Davis of Bluewater Productions and Marc Lougee of Handmade Heores realized they were working on projects under the Ray Harryhausen Presents banner, and immediately decided to join forces.
