THE WEEK’S HORROR HEADLINES (9th–16th February)

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. DETAILS RELEASED ON NEW HALLOWEEN MOVIE


There's FINALLY a new Halloween movie on the way!
It‘s being described as a 'recalibration' rather than a remake or reboot (I’ve no idea what that means, either), but most exciting, it's being written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunston, the creative team behind several of the Saw movies and The Collector/Collection!

2. NEW LEADS ANNOUNCED TO BATTLE THE EVIL DEAD ALONGSIDE ASH


Ray Santiago and Dana DeLorenzo have been cast to co-star with horror legend Bruce Campbell in Starz’s Ash vs Evil Dead. It seems that the showrunners are adding some younger eye-candy to work with Campbell, but, as long as they‘re 'Groovy’, I’m down with that!

3. RESIDENT EVIL HD REMAKE SETS NEW RECORDS


Capcom have announced that the new Resident Evil HD Remaster is the fastest selling digital download in the company’s history in both Europe and North America. 
I’ve not polayed the game yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about the latest (oldest?) outing from the king of Survival Horror.
Seems there’s still life in the undead after all. Now how about an RE2 Remaster?

4. BLOMKAMP’S ALIEN ONE STEP NEARER TO REALITY?


Neill Blomkamp, director of District 9 and Elysium, may get the chance to make his dream Alien movie after all! After sharing a tonne of concept art earlier this year (most of it very, very cool indeed!), it seems Fox are keen to sit down and listen to his ideas. Whether this would come to fruition after Ridley Scott’s Prometheus sequel, remains to be discovered, but Blomkamp has already shown real sci-fi vision, so this is one to watch out for!

5. SCREAM QUEENS TEASER IS HERE!
Ryan Murphy (he of American Horror Story and Glee fame) has released the teaser trailer for his new series, Scream Queens, a horror-comedy starring none other than slasher movie icon Jamie Lee Curtis and AHS and Scream 4’s Emma Roberts.
Watch it below!
