Greetings and Salutations.
As the holidays close in what better to stumble across than a simple and easy way for me to continue my love affair with my iPhone and horror comics simultaneously! IDW Comics have an iPhone application that allows you to purchase many fabulous titles from their catalog to read on your iPhone. One of which places itself as a continuation of this years hit horror flick Paranormal Activity.
Fearnet featured the iPhone app on its site recently and described it as picking up where the movie finished. We find Katie frothing at the mouth, which is fine by me as I found her highly irritating, I was also quite pleased about how things ended up for her tool of a boyfriend.
“Katie has gone missing. And Dr Johann Averys, an internationally renowned demonologist, is determined to find her! Paranormal Activity didn’t stop on the final frame of the movie- in act, the story is just beginning.”
You can purchase many titles including Paranormal Activity for ninety nine cents (US) or a dollar nineteen (AUS) and subscribe to whole comic series, other titles include Ghost Whisperer: The Haunted, Groom Lake and coming soon Wormwood!!! Hit up iTunes and have a looky!

Brad as Vlad? Lets get the gossip straight shall we…

Greetings and Salutations.
Whilst creeping about the net I came across the shock statement that Brad Pitt is to star in a remake of the Dracula tale entitled ‘Vlad the Impaler’. As my mind went into a tale spin, cringing at the potential butchering of the Prince of Darkness I did some further research.
According to Shock Til You Drop Pitt is in talks to PRODUCE the project with film company Summit (responsible for Twilight eek!), the script has been penned by actor Charlie Hunman. Some of you may know Hunman, who plays the character Jax Teller on the fabulous TV show ‘Sons of Anarchy‘. It appears Hunman is more than a nicely crafted arse on a Harley; now if he was to get his vamp on I would be more excited about this film!
The film is to focus on the earlier life of Vlad when he was a young prince, a piece which Summit hopes will be a “visually edgy and radical period movie that also will break a new talent.” I’m guessing unless you have a lot of heads on spikes your not going to win any fangbangers with this one.

The Buried poster is freaking me out!

Greetings and Salutations.
I like to think I have a reasonably high threshold for fear and repulsion.With the exception of moths and people spitting in public, there are not many things that make my skin crawl. Being buried alive is one of the things that the mere thought of makes my breathing become a little shallow and my fingers start to get twitchy. I went through a period when I was younger, about six months, where I had recurring nightmares of being buried alive. So you can imagine how I felt when I saw the below screen shot from the upcoming film Buried.
Ick!
As you can see the film stars Ryan Reynolds and is directed by Rodrigo Corte`s. The film is essentially a one man show, filmed entirely within the coffin. The plot is as follows:
“Paul is a U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he is buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it’s a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap.”
*Shudder* The film makes its debut at Sundance next year. Will Ms Harker be waiting eagerly for this films release or will she be writing her will in stone to ensure she is cremated upon her demise? Probably the later!
