Who's Up For a Babysitter Massacre?
There's nothing like a good old fashioned massacre. The only thing that can make one better is if they're home to young nubile babysitters. Thankfully this new indie slasher entitled Babysitter Massacre has our bases thoroughly covered.
The flick, which is directed by Henrique Couto, stars Marylee Osborn, Erin R. Ryan, Joni Durian, Tara Clark, Stephanie Michael, Mike Canestaro, Stephanie Coffey, and Alicia Lozier.
Babysitter Massacre is described as a throwback to the classic slasher films of the 70s and 80s but with a modern gritty torture element.
Synopsis
In Ray Falls, Ohio, on Halloween night, someone is torturing and killing young women one by one. The only thing they all have in common is they belonged to the same babysitter club in high school... Who could be doing this, and can anyone stop them?

Check Out Our 2013 Monsterpalooza Image Gallery Straight from the Show Floor!
Elliot Brodsky’s spring 2013 Monsterpalooza convention was a rousing success as usual, and if you weren’t there... well, that’s just unacceptable! But to show we're happy to share - and to whet your appetites for the next one - here are some photos from the infamous event.
Held as always at the Marriott in Burbank, California, the FX-focused horror convention attracted record crowds (I’m going to go out on a limb and state that perhaps Monsterpalooza has outgrown the venue) and showcased the talents of such FX gurus as Tom Savini, Megan Areford, Mike Hill and Jordu Schell as well as dozens of other top-notch FX artists and companies in addition to an array of horror talent including Creature from the Black Lagoon’s Julie Adams, Linda Blair (The Exorcist), Virginia Madsen (Candyman), Martin Landau (Ed Wood), Barbara Steele (Black Sunday), Kyra Schon (Night of the Living Dead), horror veteran and fave Danielle Harris, and many, many others.
This is truly a convention not to be missed; for more info visit Monsterpalooza.com and 'like' Monsterpalooza on Facebook.

Watch Going Down, A New Dastardly Short on Blackbox TV
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. Like, what's more off-putting than an elevator ride? It's claustrophobic; you're trapped in a tiny box with strange people. Any number of bad things can happen. And that's the premise behind a dastardly short entitled Going Down.
Directed by Paul Solet, Going Down was shot in one day and edited in three, and it's a testament to what can be done with minimal time and resources. It's a truly effective vehicle, and the whole thing takes about five minutes. Nicely done. The film stars the amazing Marc Senter and Dinora Walcott with a score by Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory.
Synopsis
Gunther Cleary has his whole day mapped out, but a simple elevator ride shows him that life doesn't always go as planned.

Weekend Box Office Report: Was Evil Dead More Alive than Scary Movie 5?
While Evil Dead struggled not to plummet like so many 3D Texas Chainsaws, Scary Movie 5 proved to be a franchise that probably wasn’t worth reviving. Funny; A Haunted House was a modest hit and Scary Movie 5 bombs.
Seems the Wayans Bros. finally got their revenge against Dimension.
Back in 2006, Scary Movie 4 opened to over $40 million. Seven years later, Scary Movie 5 could only lure in $15 million. Good enough for second place on a slow weekend dominated by a baseball biopic but lousy for a once highly profitable franchise.
Why is Scary Movie 5 such a dud? Did they wait too long between sequels? Was it the lack of franchise star Anna Faris? Did audiences already get their fill of horror movie spoofing with A Haunted House? Were viewers put off by a marketing campaign built around Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan? Whatever the reason may be, I prefer to chalk it up as proof there still is hope for humanity.
Meanwhile, Evil Dead is doing what horror movies these days traditionally do in their second week – freefall. That $26 million opening weekend is being followed up by a 63% drop, down to a $9.5 million, 5th place week two. Regardless, a sequel is all but assured.
Jurassic Park 3D only dropped about 50% into 6th place its second weekend with $8.8 million. That’s a better hold than The Phantom Menace’s second week of 3D re-release but worse than Titanic’s.
And with that the box office report looks to be going on hiatus yet again for several weeks. Is there even another wide release horror movie opening between now and World War Z in late June? Eli Roth’s Aftershock is getting a wide release in May, I think. Otherwise, the summer movie season is about to begin, and that usually means slim pickings for horror fans.

Manborg Trailer Premieres with an Incredible Splat of Gory Goodness!
If you aren't excited for the release of Manborg already, this new clip should more than get your ghost! Watch it now. Then watch it again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again.
Synopsis:
The forces of Hell have risen to the surface of the Earth to wreak unspeakable havoc on humanity, and it will take a real superhuman to save the world. Or at least Manborg - a spectacular creature of the future and the hero of MANBORG, the cult favorite sci-fi/fantasy homage coming to select theaters and DVD on April 30, 2013, from Dark Sky Films.
The armies of Hell have taken over the Earth, and all that stands in the way of the villainous Count Draculon and humanity's total extinction is a motley crew of misfits led by the mighty Manborg: a warrior who's half-man, half-machine but all hero.
Once a young soldier killed during the first war against Hell, Manborg (Matthew Kennedy, Lazer Ghosts 2) reawakens in the future, rebuilt as a walking weapon and mankind's last hope. Struggling to learn the secret of his origins, Manborg unwittingly befriends a post-apocalyptic Australian punker (Conor Sweeney, Heart of Karl), a knife-wielding vixen (Meredith Sweeney, Father's Day), and a kung fu master (dubbed by Kyle Herbert of DRAGON BALL Z, STREET FIGHTER) before finally squaring off against Count Draculon (Adam Brooks, Father's Day) in a desperate and bloody bid to take back the Earth.
This campy, comedic action flick, which Variety called "enjoyably ridiculous," is also an affectionate and clever tribute to fan favorite '80s films and video games like The Terminator, RoboCop, and Mortal Kombat.
MANBORG is a tour de force for writer-director-editor-makeup artist Steven Kostanski, whose credits include the horror hit Silent Hill and Guillermo del Toro's forthcoming sci-fi adventure Pacific Rim. This lo-fi sci-fi epic from infamous filmmaking collective Astron-6 (Father's Day) was met with an uproariously enthusiastic reception from audiences. Executive produced by TIFF Midnight Madness guru Colin Geddes (Ultra 8 Pictures) and Toronto After Dark's Peter Kupowsky, MANBORG celebrated its world premiere at Austin's 2011 Fantastic Fest and also impressed fans at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival and Fantasia. It has played more than 30 major film festivals worldwide including Whistler, Lund in Sweden, Boston Underground, U.K. Sci-Fi, and Neuchatel in Switzerland.

The phrase coined for the film, which has also become its tagline, is “Southern Fried Horror.”
Synopsis
Steven Summers returns home to southern Alabama from college with his girlfriend, Amanda, to attend his uncle's annual Haunted Hayride.

Oldboy Banners Keep Count
The upcoming CinemaCon show in Vegas has offered a first look at the title treatment for Spike Lee's take on Oldboy starring Josh Brolin. Look for the flick in theatres on October 11, 2013. Will you be there or are you just gonna stick with the Korean classic?
James Ransone, Elizabeth Olsen, Sharlto Copley, and Samuel Jackson all star in the remake of Park Chan-wook’s masterpiece. FilmDistrict acquired U.S. distribution rights to the flick during the Toronto International Film Festival.
Brolin plays an ad exec who is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement without any indication of his captor’s motive.

His quest for revenge leads him into an ill-fated relationship with a young social worker (Olsen) and ultimately to an odd man (Copley) who allegedly holds the key to his salvation.

First Poster and Still of Jennifer Blanc's The Night Visitor
Jennifer Blanc of Blanc/Biehn Productions has spent a lot of time in front of the camera as well as behind the scenes as a producer, but The Night Visitor represents her directorial debut and we've got an early tease for you.
When this news hit my inbox this morning, my heart initially sank. Not for anything to do with this particular film, but because I initially feared someone was remaking the absolutely miserable 1989 Night Visitor. That film, an infamously shameless attempt to remake Rear Window using the same exact template of Tom Holland's Fright Night, is best forgotten and I should be ashamed of even mentioning it in passing.
Thankfully, my fears weren't warranted, and director Jennifer Blanc's The Night Visitor sounds pretty damn cool. This amalgamation of horror and science fiction centers around a mother (Brianne Davis) and her efforts to protect her six-year-old son from a malevolent alien. XTRO re-imagined as a found footage horror movie, perhaps?
God, I hope so.
The Night Visitor is currently filming in Los Angeles. Keep your eyes glued to this spot for all the latest and greatest on this offering.

During starship Andromeda’s maiden voyage its Einstein-Rosen (ER) drive is successfully tested. A vessel equipped with an ER drive is capable of crossing the galaxy in days by traveling through self-generated wormholes. The ER drive was designed by the child science genius N'tron Zepethar.
Fifteen years earlier the starship Leviathan (with Zepethar aboard and propelled by his first version of an ER drive) disappeared on its maiden voyage. As the only other vessel equipped with an operational ER drive, the Andromeda is reassigned to the Leviathan's rescue mission.
The Andromeda’s crew locate the crashed Leviathan on Theta-25L, a desolate planet 45,000 light years from Earth. Whilst attempting to contact the Leviathan, the Andromeda's captain is killed. This untimely tragedy imposes the captaincy on Commander Jane Altaire.
After fifteen years on Theta-25L, Zepethar is the sole survivor of the Leviathan's crew. When Commander Altaire begins searching for answers to the Leviathan’s demise, it soon becomes apparent both Zepethar and Theta-25L harbour terrifying secrets...
