Update: Added a new trailer for ‘The Road’. Update #2: Watch a teaser of Them Crooke Vultures’ first single “Gunman: below! A few random pieces of news came in this afternoon that I figured I’d share with you before this Halloween weekend hits full effect. Below you’ll find details on Rob Zombie’s newly launched official website, you’ll find the teaser poster and trailer for the Sophie Monk (The Hills Run Red) starrer Pearblossom, and read all about a new thriller entitled Breaking the Girl. If anything else dribbles in over the next few hours, we’ll add it to the story.
THEM CROOKED VULTURES TEASER!

Them Crooked Vultures, aka Dave Grohl, Joshua Homme and John Paul Jones – have confirmed November 17 as the release date for their eponymous debut album in the United States and Canada on DGC/Interscope Records. To celebrate the news, the band has put together a little Halloween treat for those hungry for a little more Vulture — a tease of the video for “Gunman”, which features a rockin’ skeleton.

THE NEW TRAILER FOR THE ROAD

From Yahoo! comes the new trailer for Dimension Films’ The Road, an epic post-apocalyptic tale of the survival of a father and his young son as they journey across a barren America that was destroyed by a mysterious cataclysm. It imagines a future in which men are pushed to the worst and the best that they are capable of — a future in which a father and his son are sustained by love. In theaters November 25.

NEW ROB ZOMBIE WEBSITE

With Rob Zombie’s new album coming out next year, and the major announcement of his jump to Roadrunner Records, the shock-rocker has launched his brand new official website. At the site you can keep up with everything zombie, including his music, movies and side-projects. In addition, you can check out live footage of two new songs by clicking here.

BREAKING THE GIRL

Jamie Babbit is getting behind the camera for a new thriller entitled Breaking the Girl. Starring Amanda Crew (The Haunting in Connecticut, Sex Drive) and Adrianne Palicki (Red Dawn, Legion), the film follows two college students make a pact to kill each other’s enemies.

TRAILER FOR PEARBLOSSOM

From Bleiberg comes the first trailer for Pearblossom, which stars the beautiful Hills Run Red star Sophie Monk.

It’s New Year’s Eve, 1968: While driving on the Pearblossom Highway, a lesbian couple (played by Sophie Monk of “The Hills Run Red” and “Date Movie”; and Anya Lahiri of the “Goal” series) find themselves face to face with the creator of the universe (played by Victoria’s Secret supermodel Angela Lindvall). Laid to rest for 40 years, the women wake up on New Year’s Day as reborn creatures. Now, they walk the earth fighting in the eternal battle of good and evil, not alway certain which side they are on.

Also starring new horror/genre icons Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s “Halloween I & II”), Patrick Renna (“Dark Ride”), Electra Avellan (Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s “Grindhouse”), Danny Woodburn (“Watchmen”) and Charles Napier (“The Silence Of The Lambs”).
