Sad news broke today revealing the death of young actor Anton Yelchin, 27, in a freak automobile accident that left him pinned between his car and a brick mailbox at his San Fernando Valley residence Sunday morning. The car was in neutral with its motor running TMZ reports. He was found at 1am by friends.

Yelchin is best known for playing Pavel Chekov in J.J. Abrams 2009’s Star Trek reboot and young Kyle Reese in McG’s Terminator: Salvation. But, horror fans enjoyed his performances in a string of notable films beginning with 2001’s adaptation of James Patterson’s Along Came a Spider.

Since then he went on to star in the awesome 2011 remake of Tom Holland’s Fright Night, Stephen Sommers’ 2013 adaptation of Dean Koontz’s Odd Thomas, Joe Dante’s horror-comedy Burying the Ex, vampire drama Only Lovers Left Alive, and this year’s acclaimed cat-and-mouse thriller Green Room.

Producer and actor James Franco’s re-imagining of the 1996 thriller Mother, May I Sleep with Danger premieres tonight on Lifetime in honor of the original’s 20-year anniversary. Based on Claire Rainwater Jacobs’ novel about a young girl and her stalker boyfriend, the remake is revamped with lesbian vampires!

Tori Spelling, who played the object of the stalker’s obsession in the original film, returns in the role of the girl’s suspicious mother. Leila George, daughter of Vincent D’Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket), makes her acting debut as the love struck teen – this time enamored with a lesbian bloodsucker.

Saban Films has released a trailer for Rob Zombie’s eagerly anticipated new fright show 31. Set on Mischief Night, the evening before Halloween notorious for mysterious disappearances and abductions, the film follows five kidnapped carnival folks attempting to survive 12 hours of murderous psycho circus clowns.

A little bit of SAW with a tad of Purge and a whole lotta Zombie hillbilly horror makes for fun violent viewing. Sheri Moon Zombie, Jeff Daniel Phillips (“Westworld”), Meg Foster (They Live), Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs (“Welcome Back Kotter”), Richard Brake (Hannibal Rising), and Malcolm McDowell lead the cast.

Netflix has released a trailer for its new horror series “Stranger Things.” Premiering July 15, the show stars Winona Ryder as a working class mom who discovers government experiments and supernatural forces play a role in the mysterious disappearance of her two-year-old son.

“Stranger Things” is created by “Wayward Pines” writers Matt and Ross Duffer and co-stars Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket), David Harbour (Suicide Squad), Cara Buono (“Person of Interest”), and Natalia Dyer (After Darkness).

If you were left seeing red after the cancellation of El Rey’s underrated “Matador” series, the network makes amends with news of blonde stunner Nicky Whelan joining the the season three cast of “From Dusk Till Dawn” and reuniting with producer Robert Rodriguez.

Whelan made her horror debut in Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 in 2009 and has since gone on to star in Japanese director Takashi Shimizu’s (The Grudge) in-flight frightener 7500, the Nicolas Cage rapture drama Left Behind, and the horror spoof Paranormal Movie.

Other awesomely notable creds under the Aussie stunner’s belt include toplining the 9th and final season of NBC’s “Scrubs,” going topless in the Farrelly Brothers comedy Hall Pass, and playing CIA agent Annie Mason on Rodriguez’s gone-to-soon action series “Matador.”

Uncork’d Entertainment has released a trailer for All Girls Weekend, a backwoods survival frightener about a group of childhood girlfriends rekindling their friendship during a weekend getaway in the mountains. Things go bad when they get lost and turn on each other while stalked by a malevolent force.

The trailer appears to give away many of the movie’s deaths, but there’s zero hint as to who gets naked to skinny dip in a brook or who has lesbian sex near the camp fire so … well played, All Girls Weekend trailer editor, well played.

All Girls Weekend is written and directed by Lou Simon (HazMat) and stars Jamie Bernadette (I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu), Katie Carpenter (“Maid to Order”), Gema Calero (Agoraphobia), Sharron Calvin, and Karishma Lakhani. The film arrives on VOD July 12 and on DVD Sept. 6.

Things are getting Satanic in selected theaters, VOD, and iTunes on July 1. The Magnet thriller stars “Modern Family” stunner Sarah Hyland as part of a group of college kids who rescue a young woman from a demonic cult’s human sacrifice ritual only to discover she’s pure evil.

A trailer for Satanic has gone on line and it looks like total tween CW shit. What gives us hope, however, is that the script was written by Anthony Jaswinski, who penned Vanishing on 7th Street and the upcoming shark frightener The Shallows.

Peep it:

Twentieth Century Fox and Well Go USA have released a trailer for Korean filmmaker Na Hong-jin’s The Wailing. The supernatural drama follows the deadly mass hysteria that overtakes a small village when a mysterious foreigner settles among them.

The Wailing has garnered a crap-load of critical acclaim and the trailer looks awesome, but, like The Witch, there’s a chance the trailer cuts creepier than the actual movie. Regardless, it’s worth checking out as it begins its run at selected theaters.

Starz Digital has released a trailer for Hyde Park’s erotic-thriller Careful What You Wish For, starring Aussie stunner Isabel Lucas as a young trophy-wife caught up in an affair with an awkward high school student too blinded by his penis’ good fortune to notice she’s trouble.

Lucas played Goddess Athena in The Immortals and a long-tongued, short skirted Decepticon in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. She also thrilled as a butt flashing femme fatale in the sexually charged who-dun-it The Loft. Lucas bares that sweet tush once again in Careful What You Wish For.

Kenny Gage and Devon Downs (Anarchy Parlor) are directing/producing horror comedy Cynthia, starring scream queens Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween), Rebecca Marshall (SAW 3D), and genre icons Sid Haig (Devil’s Rejects), Lynn Lowry (Cat People), Bill Moseley (Devil’s Rejects), and Robert LaSardo (Anarchy Parlor).

Cynthia tells the comedically tragic tale of a perfect couple’s growing desperation to have a child and the terrifying toll it takes on their lives. The film is written by “Girls & Corpses” founder Robert Rhine and is currently under production.

Gage and Downs are the gleefully twisted minds behind last year’s Anarchy Parlor, starring LaSardo as a renowned tattoo artist targeting American tourists in Lithuania for his underground art business. We caught the world premiere at Screamfest LA and found it to be one of the most enthralling and fun slashers in recent horror. Read our review here.
