No word yet on what horrors Dark Harbor will bring this year, but the event should be a no-miss for Halloween enthusiasts. Clatto was fortunate enough to be brought on board for the evil festivities in 2013. Read our spine-tingling account here.
Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Orlando announced the return of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” to its annual Halloween Horror Nights event. This year’s maze is based on the hit zombie drama’s fourth season. Guests will flee the West Georgia Correctional Facility on a mission to reach Terminus.
Of course, the journey will be plagued by the undead and evil men. The scares are all new and feature iconic scenes from the series, and never-before-seen Walkers. “Walking Dead” executive producer Greg Nicotero tells us more…
Deadline is reporting that comedian/actor Dane Cook and one-time Superman Brandon Routh are toplining New Artists Alliance and XLrator Media’s new sci-fi thriller 400 Days. Why that casting is viewed as a selling point, we have no idea. The hot news here is “Arrow” stunner Caity Lotz also stars.
400 Days tells the story of four astronauts sent on a simulated deep space mission to test its effects on the mind. The group goes batty after being isolated from the outside world for 400 days. The reality that awaits them when they return, however, is a lot more frightening.
Lotz is best known for playing Canary on The CW’s superhero series “Arrow” and Anna Draper’s niece on AMC’s “Mad Men.” She starred on MTV’s short-lived horror-comedy show “Death Valley” and toplined writer/director Nicholas McCarthy’s creepy ghost story, The Pact.
Set in the aftermath of a massive California quake, San Andreas follows a special-ops firefighter (Johnson) on a trek from Los Angeles to San Francisco to find his estranged daughter (Daddario). No word on what role Minogue will play.
Minogue, a Grammy-winning singer best known in the U.S. for her catchy pop hit “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” is coming off the indie lesbian werewolf drama,Jack & Diane. Additional creds include the slasher Cut and the video game adaptation for Street Fighter.
Dimension Films has released a new two-minute plus trailer for Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s Sin City sequel A Dame to Kill For. Folks are pumped to see Mickey Rourke as Marv, but Jessica Alba working the stage as stripper Nancy is pretty damn exciting too in our humble and pervy opinion.
Showtime has renewed its acclaimed horror series “Penny Dreadful” for a second season. The show weaves together the origin stories of classic literary monsters and figures such as Dorian Grey, Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, and Van Helsing into one new drama.
Clatto found the premiere episode dreadfully boring, but things have apparently gotten a lot more interesting.
In an episode titled “Seance,” star Eva Green is fucked by an invisible entity. While its not as sexy as Rhona Mitra getting banged by Hollow Man, the scene is a much needed eye-opener and a guaranteed thrill for fans of Green.
Syfy has released a new trailer for “Dominion,” its new day-of-reckoning series based on Screen Gems 2010 Paul Bettany vehicle Legion. Set to premiere June 19, the show picks up 25-years after the battle between man and angels began.
“Dominion” stars Christopher Egan (Resident Evil: Extinction), Tom Wisdom (300), Anthony Stewart Head (”Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), Luke Allen-Gale (Captain America), and stunners Roxanne McKee (“Game of Thrones”) and Rosalind Halstead (pictured above).
A new trailer has gone online for Paramount Pictures and MGM’s re-imagining of the Hercules story, starring Dwayne Johnson as the mythical hero. The teaser is awesome and terrible at the same time, possibly too much CG. Still, your hard-earned money won’t go to waste thanks to co-star Irina Shayk.
The gorgeous Russian Sports Illustrated model-turned-actress makes her movie debut as Hercules’ main squeeze Megara, reportedly stripping nude for the role. What? Still want a plot synopsis? All right. Herc completes his 12 labors and must soon after overthrow an evil warlord.
Image Entertainment has released a trailer for the Peter Engert-directed zombie thriller Aftermath. The film stars Monica Keena (Night of the Demons), Andre Royo (”The Wire”), C.J. Thomason (Husk), and the Eric Roberts of his generation Edward Fulong (Terminator 2: Judgement Day).
Aftermath follows nine apocalypse survivors forced to live in a farmhouse cellar to see what happens when people stop being polite and start getting eaten. Look for it in selected theaters and VOD on July 18 and on home video in August.
