“True Blood” star Deborah Ann Woll is set to star in Marvel’s new “Daredevil” series for Netflix. She joins a cast that includes Charlie Cox (”Boardwalk Empire”) as blind attorney Matt Murdock turned superhero Daredevil, Vincent D’Onofrio as nemesis Kingpin, and Rosario Dawson as a busty do-gooder.

The 13-episode series finds Woll playing Karen Page, Murdock’s on-again, off-again girlfriend, introduced in the comic’s very first issue. We’re thrilled with Woll’s casting and relieved Marvel didn’t go PC and cast a fattie or dude (hello, DC) as Daredevil’s main squeeze (afterall, it’s not like a blind guy needs a hot girlfriend).

Woll is coming off the seventh and final season of the HBO vampire soap “True Blood.” Her role as sexy, impetuous teen-vamp Jessica Hamby earned her a spot on Clatto’s list of The 11 Sexiest Maneater Babes in Horror.

New Line and Warner Bros. have released a two-minute plus trailer for Annabelle, its spinoff to James Wan’s blockbuster ghost story The Conjuring. The Annabelle doll was introduced in the film as one of the haunted artifacts collected by married demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Written by Gary Dauberman (Crawlspace), Annabelle serves as the creepy doll’s origins story. Stunner  Annabelle Wallis (“The Tudors”) toplines the film. Costars include Ward Horton (“One Life to Live”). Michelle Romano (The Witching Hours) and Alfre Woodard (“True Blood”). It’s in theaters Oct. 3.

If you’re like us, you watch a lot of horror… at the movies, on TV, on your smartphone while watching movies and TV. It gets to be a little much. You need to get out. You need to meet people. You need to fist-pump and hurl your body at strangers in an act of brotherhood/sisterhood.

This summer… Rockstar Energy is giving you the opportunity to leave your dreary lair and become the social butterfly you were meant to be at its fifth annual Uproar Festival.

Also on the bill are Skillet, Pop Evil, Escape The Fate, Redlight King, 3 Years Hollow, Within Reason, New Medicine, Sons of Revelry (2013 UPROAR Battle Of The Bands Winner), These Raven Skies, Tattered, and a very special burlesque performance from SuicideGirls.

Inception Media Group has set an Aug. 12 DVD release date for Till Hastreiter’s The Forbidden Girl, a supernatural thriller about the seduction of a fundamentalist pastor’s son by a powerful and sexy witch. If he gives in to her witchy ways, he’ll be forced to live eternity on “the dark side”… so they’ll get married then?

The Forbidden Girl is toplined by Peter Gadiot (“Once Upon a Time in Wonderland”) and German starlet Jytte-Merle Böhrnsen (3 Türken und 1 Baby). A two-minute trailer for the long gestating film was released in May, and it looks a little something like this:

RADiUS-TWC has released the first trailer for Alexandre Aja’s (Piranha 3D) adaptation of author Joe Hill’s Horns. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) toplines as Ignatius Perrish, a man who grows horns out of his head and uses their mysterious powers to avenge the rape and murder of his girlfriend.

Horns costars Joe Anderson (“The River”), Max Minghella (Darkest Hour), Kelli Garner (“Pan Am”), and Juno Temple (Killer Joe) as Perrish’s violated, dead paramour. Hill, son of horror author Stephen King, serves as executive producer. The film arrives on Halloween.

Lowly dogs, prepare to bow your heads. Mexican pop star and actress Eiza González (“Amores Verdaderos”) is reprising her role as Santánico Pandemonium in season two of El Rey’s “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series,” a small screen adaptation of Robert Rodriguez’s classic 1996 frightener.

If you watched the show’s first season, you know González defied all odds, impressively filling Salma Hayek’s stripper heels as the Titty Twister’s gorgeous vampire-queen.

In addition to González, “From Dusk Till Dawn” sees the return of original stars D.J. Cotrona (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) and Zane Holtz (Vampires Suck) as fugitive brothers Seth and Richie Gecko, and Wilmer Valderrama (“That ’70s Show”) as serpent villain Carlos Madrigal.

The new 13-episode season shoots in October.

Season two of the FX crime series “The Bridge” premiered this week with a glorious nude scene by star Diane Kruger. The German stunner plays a U.S. detective with Asperger’s who teams up with a Mexican detective (Demian Bichir) to track down a serial killer terrorizing the border of El Paso and Juarez.

But, it’s not all mutilated bodies. The duo also face off against ruthless, seriously frightening, drug cartels, sex traffickers, and corrupt police and politicos. Needless to say, it’s stressful work. The kind of thing that could make a sexy cop bang her sister’s killer’s brother (you really need to watch this show).

Which brings us back to Kruger’s bottomless scene. You’re welcome. “The Bridge” airs on Wednesday at 10p.m. Watch it!

Skinny sexpot Zoe Saldana (Avatar) plays green-skinned and red-haired alien stunner Gamora in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. A new featurette on the character has gone online, and it’s kinda hot. The film arrives in theaters on Aug. 1.

Saldana told Collider:

Because I was going to be green and I was going to be the lead girl, I just wanted teenage boys to find me attractive.  I don’t know why I was stressing this a lot but I really was when we were testing.  That’s where I was coming from… I’m like, “Pretty.  Teenage boys, please.  We gotta get their vote.

Guardians of the Galaxy is directed by James Gunn and costars Chris Pratt as intergalactic bad-boy Peter Quill, Vin Diesel as tree-humanoid Groot, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket Raccoon, Benicio Del Toro as The Collector, and Karen Gillian as villain Nebula.

New Normal Films has released a red-band trailer for Suburban Gothic, a new horror-comedy from co-writer and director Richard Bates Jr. (Excision). Toplining the film are Matthew Gray Gubler (“Criminal Minds”) and Kat Dennings (“2 Broke Girls”).

Gubler plays Raymond, a man gifted with the unique ability to speak with the dead. Incapable of finding work in the city, he moves back home with his parents, and soon discovers that the town is under attack by demonic forces.

Dennings, who is coming off Marvel’s ridiculous, but hugely successful Thor franchise, stars as Raymond’s childhood friend and town bartender. No word yet on what role her big creamy breasts will play, but it has already earned a standing ovation from us.

A trailer has gone online for Adam Spinks’ The Expedition, a found-footage thriller about a team of research scientists who find themselves hunted by a dinosaur while on a mission to study endangered animals in the Amazon.

The trailer is pretty awesome and calls to mind the recent dino-pranks in Japan, but more frightening than funny thanks to its creative direction, practical effects, and its attractive tank-topped female cast, namely Sarah MacDonnell and Dolores Reynals (pictured above).
