by Nia Edwards-Behi DreadCentral reports today that genre favourite Bill Moseley has been cast in the upcoming The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D/Leatherface 3D/whatever it’s called. I’m sorry. Forgive my somewhat disdainful tone. There’s every possibility that Leatherface 3D will be an interesting, even good film. After all, it’s going to be about Heather, a woman [...]

by Ben Bussey This isn’t so much a news report, as an alert to a terrific article over at Badass Digest by Brian Collins, whose headline lit up my eyes like a Christmas tree: ‘Platinum Dunes is “not making horror movies anymore.”‘ Sigh… Let me just type those words once more. ‘Platinum Dunes is “not making horror movies [...]

by Marc Patterson I’d ask Ben Bussey to chime in here, because really – this post should belong to him, but he’s been on a long holiday weekend in the country with the family, and not only that, but he did earlier. (see his reaction here) Don’t take this posting as a knee-jerk “remakes suck” [...]

by Britt Hayes Initially, I wasn’t going to do a write up on this. Several writer friends of mine have already tackled the topic, including John Gholson over at HorrorSquad and Scott Weinberg at Cinematical, and it seems redundant to echo the sentiment here. That said, I’d be remiss if I didn’t attempt to valiantly [...]

Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Directed by: Samuel Bayer Studio: Platinum Dunes Starring: Jackie Earle Haley, Rooney Mara, Kyle Gallner, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker Review by: Dustin Hall Like so many readers, I’m sure, who come to this site, Freddy Krueger is, for me, an icon. As Superman has become an icon of heroism and Americana, [...]

by Ben Bussey The old slasher supervillians just can’t get a break at the moment, it seems. First Patrick Lussier’s Halloween 3-D fails to get beyond the drawing board, and now it’s come to light that the sequel to Platinum Dunes’ Friday the 13th reboot has also been shelved. And, as is rapidly becoming the norm, [...]

by Marc Patterson It’s not that we have some kind of embargo against Freddy Kreuger over here. We don’t. I love the guy. I own all the films, and am even curious about what the new film from Platinum Dunes has in store for us. I just don’t see the need to post relentlessly about [...]

by Ben Bussey That’s it. I’ve had all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more. Deadline reports that a remake of The Monster Squad is in the works, in the hands of original executive producer Rob Cohen, who has since gone on to become a director of near-legendary mediocrity. Now, that part isn’t [...]

by Matt Barnette According to SpoilerTV the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street is currently in re-shoots after a series of test screenings done recently. Apparently, the re-shoots are extensive enough as to require new casting, although according to the folks at SpoilerTV, the only scene known to be in filming currently was in [...]

by Marc Patterson Here’s something I haven’t said before: I’m actually looking forward to seeing this Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street. Oh sure, I love to loathe it, but I’m a big fan of Jackie Earle Haley and I really want to see what he brings to this part. I mean, [...]

by Marc Patterson For fans of Cassie Hack it’s been a long and treacherous road getting her sweet comic ass onto the big screen. (I still maintain to my position that this would be a great role for Megan Fox). We never reported earlier that a guy by the name of Fredrik Bond was on [...]

by Britt Hayes According to Shock Til You Drop, Derek Mears confirmed at the Rock n’ Shock horror convention this past weekend that he will be joining the Robert Rodriguez-produced Predator sequel, titled Predators. It looks like Mears will be playing one of the many Predators in the film. Mears is best known for his [...]

Bangungot ~The Facts Behind A Nightmare On Elm Street~ ~Article by Annie Riordan~ “Wes Craven had come across a few articles about some teenagers who were absolutely terrified – terrified! – to go to sleep.” ~Adam Rockoff “In the middle of the night they heard these horrendous screams and crashings and they ran in and [...]

by Britt Hayes Myspace released a teaser trailer for the Platinum Dunes (house of Michael Bay) produced remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street last night at midnight. The remake is directed by Samuel Bayer (director of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” video), written by the team of Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer, and follows [...]

by Marc Patterson I’m not going to waste a lot of time on this post.  It’s Sunday morning and I have food shopping to do.  But I’m seriously annoyed, so I do want to take a few seconds to help squelch the rumor that MMA wrestler, and former UFC champion Tim Sylvia was cast to [...]

The new official one sheet for the upcoming Platinum Dunes remake of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” has emerged, and all remake debates aside this is one bad ass looking poster.  Something I wouldn’t mind hanging from my wall.  Check it out and let us know what you think.
