Locke & Key: Head Games Starts This Month!
7 January 2009 2:01 AM, PST
Joe Hill’s first foray into comics, Locke & Key: Welcome to Lovecraft (review), was yet another indication of what a versatile writer Hill is and a great example of how an artist’s work can make a writer’s words come to life.
Now Idw is prepping for the release of the second story arc in Hill’s twisted universe, Locke & Key: Head Games. The first issue will be hitting shelves later this month and features Gabriel Rodriguez back on art duties. With that kind of skill behind the book, I’m sure it’ll be just as good, if not better, than the first series.
Here’s the official synopsis for Locke & Key: Head Games: Following a shocking death that dredges up memories of their father's murder, Kinsey and Tyler Locke are thrown into choppy emotional waters and turn to their new friend, Zack Wells, for support. However, the

Molly Hartley Comes Home This March
7 January 2009 1:51 AM, PST
This past Halloween saw the release of a tweener horror movie so damned determined to scare the crap out its audience even the simple sound generated by mail being slipped through the slot of the front door was transformed into a loud crashing noise designed to startle viewers out of their seats. This March on DVD you'll get a second chance to see if your non-tweener heart can withstand the blood-curdling terror of The Haunting of Molly Hartley (review).
The Haunting of Molly Hartley stars relative newcomer Haley Bennett as a young woman at a new private school with a dark past who finds herself increasingly haunted by strange hallucinations, voices, and nose bleeds as her 18th birthday rapidly approaches. Is it that wicked tumor inside her sinus cavity causing her psychosis or are there truly wicked forces at work? CW Network all-stars Chace Crawford and AnnaLyne McCord co-star in

New Blood Images
7 January 2009 1:42 AM, PST
Chris Nahon’s Blood: The Last Vampire finally has a release date … in France, at least. And it’s not until July, sadly, so we’ve got at least another six months before we see if the film lives up to its anime roots.
24 Fps found two new pics from Blood: The Last Vampire that may serve to hold us over until Universal decides what they’re going to do with it in the States. Check ‘em out below and keep it here for updates!

Whedon Talks Cabin Start Date
7 January 2009 1:07 AM, PST
It’s not a huge update by any means, but anytime I get a chance to talk about Joss Whedon here on the site, especially in relation to the horror movie he co-wrote with Drew Goddard, Cabin in the Woods, I will take it. So you’ll just have to deal with it!
Whedon told Sci Fi Wire recently that he recently met with United Artists president Tom Cruise to discuss Tom’s take on Cabin in the Woods, but didn’t say what that take actually was. Hopefully Cruise didn’t find some way to convince Joss to slip in some Scientology to the final shooting script...
Cabin in the Woods rolls this March, and still we are no closer to knowing what it will be about than we were when the project was first announced. Phooey. Drew Goddard will be making his directorial debut on Cabin; keep it

Trailers for New Romero, Thaw & Hybrid!
6 January 2009 2:02 AM, PST
A whole slew of trailers have appeared on the official site for Voltage Pictures, the guys behind a lot of cool upcoming horror titles like Eduardo Sanchez’s Seventh Moon. Instead of boring you with multiple stories about one thing, how about one story about multiple things?
Yeah, not sure where I was going with that either. All right, in order of importance (at least to most) here are three of those aforementioned trailers.
Not to be confused with the Studio 407/Myriad film of the same name, though I’m sure it will be, Hybrid is the latest from One Missed Call/Malefique helmer Eric Valette. From the Voltage site:
Late one night, a mysterious car is brought into the Chicago police impound garage after a deadly traffic accident. The garage's female mechanic, Tilda, and her young, hip fellow mechanics soon discover the car has a mind of its own.

Horton Director Signs on for Hex
6 January 2009 12:30 AM, PST
Now this is an odd turn of events; THR reported this morning that Horton Hears a Who director Jimmy Hayward has signed on to make his live action debut with the DC Comic adaptation Jonah Hex, which has been stagnant for a bit after the Crank directors departed the project.
The script was also penned by the Crank duo and features the disfigured lawman (still set to be played by Josh Brolin) getting mixed up in some kind of supernatural evil, and it's likely Hayward will be working from it.
Horton Hears a Who was Hayward’s directorial debut, after working on everything from the Canadian cartoon “ReBoot” to Finding Nemo. Interesting to see him take such a horror-centric project as his first dip into the live action pool; I hope he’s up for the task!
