Crappy Family Horror Movies; Flicks You Won’t Gather Around Your Couch to Watch
The term “family horror film” is enough to send any hardened genre fan running in the opposite direction, but over the last few decades a slew of family horror classics like “Gremlins”, “The Witches”, “Something Wicked This Way Comes”, and “Ghost Busters” have proven to be as enjoyable for adults as they have for children. Recent worthy additions to the sub-genre have presented themselves most often in the form of animated features, with “Coraline”, “The Corpse Bride” and “Monster House” being three of the most notable.

‘Hellboy’ Creator Says ‘Guillermo del Toro WON’T Direct ‘Hellboy 3′
While most of the geek planet celebrates the Hellboy franchise, I find both installment’s incredibly weak (although I prefer the second).

While a Hellboy 3 has ben long in the back of Guillermo del Toro’s mind, comic book creator Mike Mignola tells Movieweb that the Mexican director wouldn’t direct if it were to ever go behind cameras.

RUMOR CONTROL: Tim Burton Secretly Developing ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ Sequel?
UPDATE: Derek Frey, producer and executive at Tim Burton Productions, has told The Playlist there is “no truth to the rumor” and expressed gratitude for squashing the rumor quickly. An unnamed source over at Dread Central claims to have spoken directly with Paul “Pee Wee Herman” Reubens regarding his forthcoming East Coast stage show. When asked if Reubens would ever work again with director Tim Burton – who directed Pee Wee’s Big Adventure – he revealed that Burton is (finally) secretly working on a sequel to his stop-motion masterpiece The Nightmare Before Christmas! A sequel has been long rumored, and to be frank, it’s absolutely shocking (and appalling) to me that one has yet to go into production. Disney is all about merchandising – and Nightmare Before Christmas has more merch than any fan can even digest. And who knows, maybe a sequel could inspire Disney to develop a theme park attraction that’s not just a season revamp of “The Haunted Mansion”? (more…) READ MORE

After Del Toro made the announcement, Disney supplied Bloody Disgusting with a look at the teaser logo on display the Con.

EXCLUSIVE: Official Release on ‘Rob Zombie’s ‘Halloween’!!!
Since Fangoria announced the other day that Rob Zombie would direct the next Halloween, everyone has been in a constant frenzy trying to figure out what’s going on. Then Rob actually denied rumors that he would direct Halloween 9, which we saw right through… why?

We’ve been informed via official press release that Zombie’s vision of this film is an entirely new take on the legend and will satisfy fans of the classic “Halloween” legacy while beginning a new chapter in the Michael Myers saga. The film will hit theaters October of 2007. To read the full press release and for word from Rob Zombie and co. read on… (more…) READ MORE

I did some small coverage of the cool stuff I came across at this years San Diego Comic Con (here) a few weeks back, and I just finished reading R.S. Rhine’s Satan’s 3-Ring Circus of Hell book and felt it needed another plug here on B-D.

These short stories are twisted, demented and make sure that they end as (un)pleasant as you would wish.
