Universal Pictures The Wolfman is scratching at our doors. The Joe Johnston remake, starring Benicio del Toro as the leading lycan, arrives in theaters on Feb. 12. Emily Blunt, Hugo Weaving, and Anthony Hopkins costar.

The synopsis reads:

Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, The Wolfman brings the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins. Oscar® winner Benicio Del Toro stars as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his brother…and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.

Lawrence Talbot’s childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother’s fiancée, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline (Hugo Weaving) has come to investigate.

As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance at ending the slaughter and protecting the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured past will uncover a primal side to himself…one he never imagined existed.

Italian director Gabriele Albanesi (The Last House in the Woods) embraces the art of female dismemberment in his outrageous new slasher In the Mouth of Ubaldo Terzani.

The film tells the story of a young upcoming director (Giuseppe Soleri) who is given the chance to collaborate on a script with the beloved horror novelist Ubaldo Terzani (Paolo Sassanelli). The problem? Terzani draws inspiration for his work by hacking up women and, apparently, sucking cock.

Scout Taylor-Compton took part in a Stickam web-chat to discuss her future in Dimension Film’s Halloween franchise. The 20-year-old Long Beach, California native says—without any sense of irony—that she will not return for Halloween 3 unless the studio produces a “good” script.

Take a look:

Compton played Laurie Strode in Rob Zombie’s uniquely retarded remake of John Carpenter’s 1978 classic Halloween and its even more craptacular sequel. Regardless of what she decides to do, Compton is really just a couple of flicks away from starring in her underwear in an Asylum Home Entertainment project.

According to Nielsen figures, over a million viewers tuned in last week to see the premiere episode of Starz’s swords-and-sandals series “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.” Those numbers represent an all-time high for the network, easily bumping off its other high-profile serial “Crash,” which only drew 185,000 viewers for its second season premiere.

This week’s episode “Sacramentum Gladiatorum” continues to crank out plenty of boobs and blood, cocks and chains … all within the first 10 minutes! A topless Erin Cummings (Sura) opens the episode grinding on Andy Whitfield (Spartacus). Five minutes later, Lucy Lawless (Lucretia), in her first-ever nude role, is seen getting diddled by a servant girl before dropping her top for John Hannah’s (Batiatus) groping hands.

(UPDATE: To see Lucy bathing nude with slave girls, check out this clip from episode 6)

Finally, for the ladies and/or guys who really, really like gladiator movies, there’s plenty of big bulbous penises on display during a gladiator bathhouse scene.

Once the debauchery is over, the violence kicks in. The blood spilled on the show is cartoonish, but the action—throats slashed, backs whipped, brutal hand-to-hand—is pretty cool (though nowhere near as intense as HBO’s “Rome”). You can catch the “Sacramentum Gladiatorum” episode by clicking here.

(Update: Lucy Lawless will reprise her role as Lucretia in Starz’s new spinoff series “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena”)
