Adam Green's (Hatchet, Hatchet II, Frozen) long-time dream project comes to life with horror pal Joe Lynch (Knights of Badassdom, Wrong Turn 2) when their horror sitcom "Holliston" premieres on FEARnet television Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012, at 10:30 p.m. ET. While horror fans have heard quite a bit about the project, Hitfix has now premiered the first full 60-second promo that's been added below. "Holliston" is a riotous and offbeat multi-camera, buddy comedy set in the town of Holliston (near Boston). Described by its creators as ""The Big Bang Theory" meets Evil Dead II," the series shines a light on the post-college life where everything is a struggle, and nothing works out like it's supposed to, with terrifyingly funny results as Adam and Joe struggle to become big-time horror filmmakers and make ends meet. "Holliston" stars Green and Lynch along with Corri English (Unrest, The Bedford Diaries, lead singer of Brokedown Cadillac), Laura Ortiz (The Hills Have Eyes, Horton Hears A Who), Dee Snider ("Celebrity Apprentice", Twisted Sister, Strangeland, radio/television personality), and Oderus Urungus (Alien lead singer from legendary heavy metal band GWAR). The regular cast will welcome a bevy of guest stars and celebrity cameos during its first season. Upcoming guest appearances include: Colton Dunn (Hatchet II, "Parks and Recreation"), Danielle Harris (Halloween 4 and 5), Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th Parts VII and VIII, Hatchet), John Landis (An American Werewolf in London, Animal House), Derek Mears (Friday the 13th), Bill Moseley (The Devils Rejects), Brian Posehn ("The Sarah Silverman Show"), Parry Shen (Hatchet, Better Luck Tomorrow), Tony Todd (Candyman, Hatchet), Ray Wise (Chillerama, "Reaper").

Now going by The Snowtown Murders (review), Justin Kurzel's chilling thriller arrives in limited theaters March 2 from IFC Films. The company has released the official theatrical trailer for the true-crime story about a teenager who finds his world threatened by both his loyalty for, and fear of, his newfound friend, John Bunting, Australia's most notorious serial killer. "the film follows Elizabeth Harvey (Louise Harris), a mother raising her three boys in a poor suburb. After her latest boyfriend displays pedophilic tendencies, she takes up with a new man, hoping for security but instead welcoming an even more vicious predator into her home. John Bunting (Daniel Henshall) is the moral compass of a self-appointed neighborhood watch who, fueled by cigarettes and beer, cast judgments on those living around them. Bunting enlists his crew in acts of sadistic vigilantism on those he considers deviants, and in the process takes Elizabeth's son Jamie (Lucas Pittaway) under his wing."

Update: Story confirmed three months after we originally reported it. On November 8(!) we were told exclusively that Gulliver's Travels, Monsters vs Aliens and Shark Tale director Rob Letterman would getting behind the camera for Universal Pictures' new supernatural horror, Paranormalists. SYFY is producing the found footage project that follows a group of stoner kids that claim to rid haunted houses of ghosts and poltergeists, only they're just ripping off a slew of gullible individuals. In an obvious turn of events, they end up in a house that's actually haunted.

Lionsgate has tapped Luke Dawson, who penned the 2008 remake Shutter, to write Subject 17, a new found footage flick to be produced by Mosiac Media Group, Bloody Disgusting exclusively learned.. The low budget horror flick will be found footage and can best be described as Flatliners meets Frankenstein. We're told that the horror flick is about a group of medical researchers who attempt to reawaken the dead, only to find that they've created another monster entirely. Frankenstein is hot right now, although I'm not sure where this fits in with Lionsgate since they're distributing the in-production I, Frankenstein.

Finnish filmmaker Petri Kotwica directs a new game of cat-and-mouse entitled Rat King, which is being sold at the ongoing EFM in Berlin. Check out the art and trailer inside.

Niki has a web-address tattooed on his arm and when Juri types it into his computer, he gets lured into a curious game that grants him the username RAT KING. As the game becomes increasingly dangerous, Niki vows to help Juri get through it. But the game triggers off a series of life-threatening events and pretty soon Juri realizes that he is gaming for his life." Max Ovaska, Julius Lavonen, Nina Koponen, Outi Mäenpää and Janne Virtanen all star in the thriller.

Out of EFM we caught wind of a new horror project from director Glenn Withrow entitled The Mooring. We've also got our hands on the trailer and official sales poster. "A group of gadget-addicted teenage girls come together in Idaho to work through a program run by psychologist Nancy. Its a program about change, losing dependency on technology and forming real relationships. They set off up river in a houseboat, but are soon forced to moor and camp on a riverbank in the middle of nowhere. During the night, a strange, aggressive couple moors beside them, harassing the group. When the couple departs the next morning, Nancy decides to leave the girls briefly to get the boat fixed. The drifters return, setting out on a murderous rampage, hunting the girls down one-by-one through a thick, claustrophobic Idaho forest." Hallie Todd, Thomas Wilson Brown, Karli Blalock, Anna Goodwin, Larissa Hayden, Lilli Hendrickson, Erin McIntosh, Olivia Meyer, Hailee Naccarato, Jessica Pepeli, Katie Simpson and Brooklyn Tate all star.

Russian (visionary) artist Andrew Tarusov is taking on the American dream while destroying it simultaneously. The artist has created his own calendar that's currently being printed for release later this year (they'll be $25 and can be pre-ordered here). The subject?

Below you'll find images of all 12 months. Click any to see it larger.

Camelot Entertainment Group announced today that it will co-produce an interactive zombie comedy titled Deliver Me To Hell, about zombie filled streets where only delivery boys brave to save the world. Hell is to be produced by New Zealand filmmaker Logan McMillan , who originally created an interactive short to promote the pizza chain Hell's Pizza. It's an interactive adventure where the viewer chooses the path of characters and decides their fate. To date, the short has received over 5.9 million views on YouTube. Watch it above. "I've worked with Logan on his first movie so I know his talent," says Jessica Kelly, Co-President of CDG. "When he pitched us the idea, it was too creative and refreshing to pass up. It might even be the beginning to a new line of interactive films for Camelot."

It's a slow news morning so we figured we'd share this fun little gem making the Web rounds. Created for the Virgin Radio Fake Film Festival is Luke Bramley and Gigi Saul Guerrero's short film that re-created the Spanish [REC] is 60-seconds. It's absolutely brilliant. "As big fans of horror, we wanted to recreate the fantastic Spanish Horror Zombie Film [REC]! Thanks to everybody who contributed to this video, we couldn't have done it without you! [REC] follows a reporter and her camera man documenting a night with the fire department, when things go horribly wrong with what appears to be a typical call to an apartment building," said the filmmakers. Other entries include 60-second versions of both Black Swan and Jurassic Park! Watch those below.

Even though other publications reported the project as in turnaround, Bloody Disgusting updated the story that Twentieth Century Fox was still developing Shawn Levy's Frankenstein tale penned by Chronicle's Max Landis. In an interview with Collider, Levy explains how they're going to create the monster, while also teasing multiple Franks! "In the case of 'Frankenstein,' my whole approach is based on a mo-cap SimulCam playback so that its not a dude with scars on his face. Its not just kind of latex and a costume; it would be a motion-capture performance of the monsterI can give away maybe not too much by saying theres more than one in our versionand then I would go to Europe, shoot the movie, do scenes with the real actors and I would be able to see the motion-captured monster in real time due to SimulCam, so yes that is our technological VFX paradigm for Frankenstein." I'd love to see a new Frankenstein in theaters, I just can't see how you tell that story again in a compelling way. I guess that's why I'm not a screenwriter... I'll leave that to the professionals and their $80 million budget.

Idris Elba has a ton of fun in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance 3D and it shows. In fact, he's able to bring enough crazy to go toe-to-toe with Nic Cage in a Neveldine/Taylor film. As the drunken, French, priest "Moreau" he chews scenery in all the right ways. It's quite a change-up from the majority of his work, which is subtle and more grounded. Here, you can just tell he's having a blast. "In the successor to the worldwide hit 'Ghost Rider,' Johnny - still struggling with his curse as the devil's bounty hunter - is hiding out in a remote part of Eastern Europe when he is recruited by a secret sect of the church to save a young boy (Fergus Riordan) from the devil (Ciaran Hinds). At first, Johnny is reluctant to embrace the power of the Ghost Rider, but it is the only way to protect the boy - and possibly rid himself of his curse forever." I recently had a chance to sit down with Elba in New York for to talk about playing "Moreau" as well ass two projects that have you (and me) foaming at the mouth - Prometheus and The Pacific Rim. Ghost Rider 2: Spirit Of Vengeance 3D hits theaters on February 17th. It also stars Nicolas Cage, Ciaran Hinds, Violante Placido and Johnny Whitworth. Hit the jump to check out my interview with Elba.

A Little Bit Zombie also features Stephen McHattie (Watchmen, Pontypool), Emilie Ullerup ("Sanctuary"), Robert Maillet, George Buza and Neil Whitely.

Small press horror is always a crapshoot. Better have your lady friend kiss those dice before you roll, cause with indie fiction you never know what you're gonna get. But for some reason, an unusually stellar streak of small press titles have arrived on my doorstep the last several weeks, and pure luck may be the only explanation. A trio of novelsby authors Joe McKinney, Todd Grimson, and J. David Osbornereally stood out of the pack. And while my expectations were admittedly low, it's always nice to be pleasantly surprised. Whether you're intrigued by grisly vampire romance, nature vs. human smackdowns, or the horrors of Siberian prisons (and who isnt really?), these guys can really bring the heat.

Now that the long-gestured Beautiful Creatures is gearing up for production, Alcon has slated the Richard LaGravenese-directed genre flick starring Viola Davis, Jack OConnell, Alice Englert and Emma Thompson for release on February 1, 2013. "The first of a five-novel series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. In the first book, high-school student Ethan Wate meets and becomes bewitched by Lena Duchannes, a 16-year-old whose family has moved to the small South Carolina town where he lives. The two must confront a curse that has haunted her family for generations as she comes to grips with her powers." The pic is to be released via Warner Bros. Pictures.

The first ever images have made their way online from Aftershock, an earthquake thriller scripted by Cabin Fever and Hostel's Eli Roth, Nicolas Lopez & Guillermo Amoedo. The plot revolves around an insane asylum on an island, where the inmates escape during the quake. The first stills are jam-packed with chais and gore. As Deadline previously reports, its the next "Eli Roth Presents" film, and it marks the English-language debut from director Nicolas Lopez. His last two films, Que Pena Tu Vida and Que Pena Tu Boda, were the highest-grossing Chilean films of 2010 and 2011. Roth most recently produced The Last Exorcism, a microbudget film that grossed $70 million worldwide. Roth and Lopez wrote the story together, inspired by the latters experience when an earthquake devastated Chile in 2010. The film is four weeks into production in Chile. In his first big acting role since Inglourious Basterds, Roth plays the lead. Among the other cast is Selena Gomez, who was in Chile doing a concert and came over to do a cameo. Lopezs frequent collaborators Ariel Levy, Nicolas Martinez and Lorenza Izzo also star, along with Natasha Yarovenko, Andrea Osvart and Miguel Asensio.

THR is reporting out of EFm that comic book artist-turned-director Kaare Andrews (Altitude ) is in final negotiations to direct Cabin Fever: Patient Zero, a prequel being made by U.S. and Dominican Republic-based producer, financier and distributor Indomina Group. Patient Zero will tell the origin of the flesh-eating virus that was unleashed in the 2002 original, directed by Eli Roth. Jake Wade Wall, who wrote the remake of The Hitcher, penned the script that "follows the passengers of a cruise ship in the Caribbean that runs aground a research island. They must find a way to survive before the disease consumes them." The plan is to segue this film into a second sequel, Cabin Fever: Outbreak to be penned by Adam and Deborah Marcus.

Alcon has picked up the North American distribution rights to Chernobyl Diaries (the previously untitled ghost town project), the latest horror movie from Oren Peli of Paranormal Activity fame, reports THR. Peli did not direct the movie but wrote the story and produced with Brian Witten. Brad Parker, a visual effect supervisor, makes his debut as director on the movie. "'Diaries' is set in the city of Prypiat that once housed the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor and follows a group of friends who, while vacationing in Europe, find themselves stranded in the abandoned city only to discover that they are not alone." As previously announced, Jonathan Sadowski (Friday the 13th), Devin Kelley, Jesse McCartney ("Locke & Key" pilot), Olivia Taylor Dudley, Nathan Phillips (Wolf Creek, Dying Breed, Snakes on a Plane), Ingrid Bolso Berdal (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters 3D, Cold Prey) and Dimitry Diatchenko all star. Alcon, which releases its movies through Warner Bros, will open the movie Memorial Day weekend this year.

It kind of makes sense, other than the fact that nearly everyone I've talked with despised Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance 3D. Deadline is reporting that Sony Pictures has made a preemptive 7-figure deal for Spirit of Vengeance co-director Brian Taylor to write and direct a live action adaptation of the iconic video game Twisted Metal! Ghost Riders Avi and Ari Arad are producing the adaptation of the game, which has been published in various configurations by Sony Computer and is one of the biggest selling video games. The newest version of the game was just released today for PlayStation 3. Like the game, "the film will revolve around an underground event that pits a number of combatants in a fight to the death. They are outfitted in armored weaponized cars that are pimped out with heavy weaponry that includes missiles and machine guns. Some drop mines or launch electrical charges. The proprietor of the race is Calypso, a string-puller dedicating to examining the human condition, such as what makes a peaceful man violent, what terrifies a violent man and who will make a Faustian bargain in which they risk their lives. The sole survivor will get any wish granted." They also reveal that the film will include such signature contestant characters as Sweet Tooth, a homicidal clown who drives an ice cream truck, and Doll Face, a young woman who is trapped behind a porcelain mask and who drives an 18-wheeler.
