The dead have returned to fuck the living in the Japanese horror-comedy Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead. Directed by Naoyuki Tomomatsu (Erotibot), the film follows the aftermath of a mysterious explosion in Tokyo that has turned its male victims into horny undead rapists.

Japanese porn star Arisu Ozawa (Arisu Ozawa’s Massage Salon) and genre babes Yui Aikawa, Saya Kobayasi and Asami (The Machine Girl) portray a band of survivors determined to stop the rape zombies by any means necessary (uh-oh).

Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead opens in Japan on March 3.

U.K. distribution house Entertainment Film Distributors has unleashed a two-minute-plus trailer for Westend Films’ upcoming horror sex-comedy Love Bite. The film follows four high school clowns as they attempt to survive a werewolf with an appetite for small town virgins.

Love Bite is directed by some guy named Andy De Emmony and stars “Gossip Girl” and Piranha 3-D starlet Jessica Szohr as a mysterious American traveler. Costars include Luke Pasqualino (The Apparition) and Ed Speleers (A Lonely Place to Die).

Szohr looks amazing, but be warned: the movie is ridiculously foreign. Expect plenty of male nudity and questionable male-bonding shenanigans. Talk to your penis before viewing.

Andrea Duró is starring in Spanish Movie director Javier Ruiz Caldera’s new horror-comedy Promocion Fantasma (gringo translation: Ghost Graduation). The 20-year-old española plays Marivi, one of five restless spirits looking to graduate from high school with the help of a paranormal-friendly professor named Modesto (Raúl Arévalo).

Peep it:

Promocion Fantasma is produced by the folks behind Alejandro Amenabar’s Agora and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Biutiful and is Caldera’s followup to his 2009 sleeper hit Spanish Movie, a spoof on Spanish horror films that starred the late and great Leslie Nielsen.

Duró, who also stars in Cuban filmmaker Alejandro Brugués’ satirical zombie frightener Juan de los Muertos, is joined here by Jaime Olías, Alex Maruny, Javier Bódalo, Joaquín Reyes, Carlos Areces, and Spanish babes Alexandra Jiménez, Anna Castillo, and Aura Garrido.

Promocion Fantasma opens in Spain on March 2, 2012.

A teaser for scream queen Danielle Harris’ directorial debut Among Friends is now available for your viewing pleasure. Set in the ’80s, the horror-comedy centers on a dinner party that goes terribly wrong when embittered friends turn on each other.

Pop quiz, ladies: What was the most romantic movie of the ’90s? Was it Ghost? Pretty Woman? Legends of the Fall? Titanic? I don’t think so. Anyone who has ever experienced the joy of true love and the anguish of possibly losing that love knows that Frankenhooker was—and, arguably, still is—the greatest love story ever told.

Frankenhooker is the heart-wrenching tale of Jeffrey Franken, a med-school dropout who loses his fiance to a tragic lawn mower accident. Left with only her amputated head, he sets out to murder and dismember New York prostitutes with the intent of building her a new body. After putting her together, he successfully brings her back to life … as a sleazy and twitchy streetwalker.

If that isn’t an ode to true love, I don’t know what is. That’s why I’m thrilled to learn that Synapse Films is releasing remastered, uncut version of Frankenhooker on Blu-ray disc, complete with audio commentary from director Frank Henenlotter and featurettes with Jennifer Delora and Frankenhooker herself Patty Mullen—aka Penthouse Pet of the Year 1987.

Frankenhooker can be picked up on Blu-ray on Nov. 8.

A teaser trailer for writer/director Marc Leland’s upcoming slasher She Wolf Rising has been unleashed and is now ready to piss all over your shoes. The film stars genre babe Tiffany Shepis (pictured above) as a scream queen lured into the seedy world of underground filmmaking.

Peep it:

The film’s synopsis reads:

Gina Skylar, the world’s reining scream queen, wants to cross over into mainstream cinema and leave the B-horror genre behind her. Gina’s ticket out is her stellar performance in her latest slasher flick. The problem is that someone has stolen the footage.

Gina goes undercover and recruits her number one fan, Jake Bubar, to help. Together they explore the dark and dangerous side of underground filmmaking. Gina and Jake’s beliefs are challenged as they discover myths, legends, bloody decadence and forbidden love.

She Wolf Rising is described as a horror-comedy in the tradition of Tom Holland’s Fright Night. The film costars Timothy Mandala (”As the World Turns”), Debbie Rochon (Abducted II: The Reunion), Ruby Larocca (The Lost), and Tina Krause (Penny Dreadful).

Among Shepis’ many creds are such notable frighteners as Mark Vadik’s serial killer drama Cyrus, The Butcher Brothers’ quirky slasher The Violent Kind, the 2009 Night of the Demons remake, Detour (with Dead Lake’s Kelsey Wedeen), and Troma’s ode to Shakespeare Tromeo and Juliet.

“Gossip Girl” and Piranha 3-D starlet Jessica Szohr can’t seem to stay away from critters with sharp teeth. The pretty 26-year-old has joined the cast of Love Bite, a horror sex-comedy that finds four friends attempting to survive a werewolf with an appetite for small town virgins.

No word on what role Szohr is playing, but I’m guessing she’s the werewolf because a movie about Szohr saving a town of male virgins with her vagina could only be written by my penis, and it’s been suffering from writer’s block for years now so it just couldn’t be.

Love Bite is directed by some guy named Andy De Emmony from a script by some other guys named Cris Cole and Ronan Blaney. The flick costars Luke Pasqualino (The Apparition) and Ed Speleers (A Lonely Place to Die). Production begins in Scotland on Oct. 9.

“In Plain Sight” starlet Rachel Boston is the latest addition to writer, director, and actor Todd Berger’s upcoming horror-comedy It’s a Disaster. The 29-year-old  joins a cast that includes Berger, America Ferrera (”Ugly Betty”), Julia Stiles (”Dexter”), Kevin M. Brennan (The Lake House), Jeff Grace (Scenesters), Blaise Miller (Scenesters) and Laura Adkin.

The film follows four couples who, while meeting for a Sunday brunch during holiday, discover that the end of the world is upon them. Boston, best known for her recurring role as detective Abigail Chaffee on the USA network’s “In Plain Sight” and as Beth Mason on NBC’s  2002 dramedy “American Dreams,”  will play a wily wild-child named Lexi Kivel.

It’s a Disaster starts filming next month in Los Angeles.

MTV is set to premiere its new horror-comedy series “Death Valley” on Monday, Aug. 29. Set in the San Fernando Valley, the show follows a camera crew as it documents the containment effort put forth by the LAPD’s Undead Task Force during a supernatural uprising that finds the streets overrun by zombies, werewolves, and vampires.

The show stars Tania Raymonde (”LOST”), Caity Lotz (”Mad Men”), Vene L. Arcoraci (Minority Report), Bryan Callen (Scary Movie 4), Toby Meuli (The Craigslist Killer), Texas Battle (Final Destination 3), Bryce Johnson (“Pretty Little Liars”), and Courtney Halverson (Freaky Faron).

Check out a sneak peek from the pilot episode:

Full Moon Features founder and director Charles Band brings back one of horror’s most outrageous—but forgotten—abominations in his new outrageous thriller Killer Eye: Halloween Haunt, a sequel to 1999’s The Killer Eye, in which a giant severed eyeball, possessed by an extraterrestrial being from the eighth dimension, looks to impregnate hot coeds on earth.

Killer Eye: Halloween Haunt follows a group of cute college coeds who while watching bad B-movies on Halloween night inadvertently unleash the horny eyeball. The film stars hotties Olivia Alexander (pictured above), Erica Rhodes (Plague Town) and newcomers Ariana Madix, Lauren Furs, and Chelsea Leigh Edmundson.
