ALL THE WEEK'S HORROR HEADLINES (18th–25th May)

Not got time to trawl the web for all the top horror news of the last week? Well allow me to give you a bite-size breakdown of the all biggest nightmarish news!

1. ROGERS JOINS ASH VS THE EVIL DEAD


Mimi Rogers is joining the cast of Starz's Ash vs The Evil Dead! She will feature alongside Bruce Campbell and Lucy Lawless in Sam Raimi's TV adaptation of his hit movie series.

2. PLATINUM DUNES SPILL ON FRIDAY THE 13TH


Platinum Dunes' Brad Fuller gives us an update on the new Friday the 13th film — including that it WON'T be found footage after all! I don't hate the FF sub-genre yet, so that wouldn't have been a deal breaker, but I'm glad to hear that they are listening to fan feedback.

3. KIRKMAN TALKS FEAR THE WALKING DEAD


Robert Kirkman has shared some info on AMC'S Walking Dead spin-off, Fear The Walking Dead, including the series' place in the WD timeline. Prequel you say...

4. GEORGE A ROMERO/MARVEL ZOMBIE TV SHOW!


If The Walking Dead doesn't sate your appetite for shuffling undead on the tellybox, you'll be delighted to hear that Demarest is producing a TV adaption of Marvel's Empire of the Dead, penned by no-other than grandfather of the zombie genre George A Romero himself.
COUNT.
ME.
IN.

5. TWIN PEAKS SEASON GROWS!


Last week I reported that David Lynch WOULD be returning with a new season of Twin Peaks... and now I'm happy to say that he's revealed the season order has been doubled from nine to EIGHTEEN episodes!!!! 
Wow, Bob, wow!

6. NEW RELEASES


THE big release this week is the critically acclaimed, groundbreaking, Lovecraftian romantic horror — Spring. You need to watch this, so buy it Amazon here.


Also this week genre fans can look forward to the release of British zombie film, Darkest Day. Always good to support UK filmmakers, so buy it at Amazon here.

If that isn't enough End of the World entertainment for you, this week also sees Goodbye World hit the DVD shelves. Buy it at Amazon here.


And finally, we have the grim and macabre mystery of the ominous The House Across The Street, starring none other than Eric Roberts! Buy it at Amazon here.
