There aren’t enough holiday horror films, which is why I’m a bit excited to see what Joe R. Lansdale’s Christmas with the Dead turns out like. This morning a new piece of teaser art was revealed, along with the newly launched official website. READ MORE
Joe R. Lansdale, prolific author of such notable stories as the “Hap and Leonard” series of novels, “The Bottom’s” and the unforgettable “Bubba Ho-Tep,” the first of his works to be made into a movie, is about to bring his very own zombies to the big screen! Lansdale’s latest short story, to be released in early 2011, is ready to be made into a movie: Christmas with the Dead. The author has previous undead entries with “Dead in the West”, “On the Far Side of the Cadillac Desert With Dead Folks,” and most recently “Deadman’s Road,” as well as an entry in BOOM!’s comic, “Zombie Tales”. Here’s the plot crunch: “It was a foolish thing to do, and Calvin had not bothered with it the past two years, not since the death of his wife and child. But this year he decided quite suddenly, that tomorrow was Christmas Eve. And zombies be damned, the lights and decorations are going up…” More info inside! (more…) READ MORE
Shooting is well underway on Don Coscarelli’s return to horror in John Dies at the End, and now AICN is reporting even more casting. Doug Jones (the modern “man in a suit” king), Glynn Turman (the teacher from Gremlins) and Rob Zombie favorite Daniel Roebuck will all join Paul Giamatti, Clancy Brown, Angus Scrimm, Chase Williamson and Rob Mayes. From the director of Phantasm and Bubba Ho-Tep, it’s a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can’t.

My interest has been piqued ever since Don Coscarelli teased he was in pre-production on a new movie. Was it Phantasm 5, the sequel to Bubba Ho-Tep, or something fresh? AICN broke the news exclusively this afternoon revealing that his new film will in fact be an adaption of David Wong’s (real name Jason Pargin) John Dies at the End (announced back in February of 2008). The plot crunch: It’s a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can’t. The site also adds that both Paul Giamatti and Clancy Brown will star alongside Angus Scrimm, Chase Williamson, and Rob Mayes. (more…) READ MORE
