2. SINISTER II POSTER AND TRAILER
There's quite the publicity surge surrounding Ciaran Foy's upcoming second chapter in the creepy Sinister saga. First the above poster and then a pretty intriguing trailer. What do you guys think?
3. MAGGIE GETS A POSTER WHILE MTV's SCREAM AND THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 3 REVEAL TRAILERS
That's the poster for Arnold Schwarzenegger's zombie flick. NICE.
So, looks like MTV's Scream TV show is a remake then! How do I know?
THIS is how!
And if that's a little tame and you prefer your horror a little more, shall we say, intensely visceral, click here for the trailer for renegade director Tom Six's Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence.
4. SUSPIRIA TV SERIES ON THE WAY
French production company Atlantique Productions and Italian firm Cattleya have secured a co-development and co-production agreement to turn Dario Argento’s Suspiria into a TV series. It will be named Suspiria De Profundis after Thomas De Quincey's book, and in an intriguing twist, will feature De Quincey as the lead character in a psychological horror set in London and Paris at the turn of the 20th Century. Argento will serve as the series' artistic supervisor.
5. FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S FILM
Warner Bros has acquired the rights to the HUGELY successful (and pretty damn creepy) Five Nights At Freddy's video game series. I can't wait to see some practical effect animatronic Freddy, Chica and Foxy stalking hapless teens around Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and tearing them to shreds! Perhaps the enigmatic back story will be explored a little more too? Here's hoping this one lives up to its potential.
6. WRITER ATTACHED TO GREMLINS REMAKE
Speaking of Warner Bros, they're one step closer to ruining my youth as they've found a writer for the Gremlins remake. Carl Ellsworth (Goosebumps, Red Eye, Last House on the Left '09) will scribe for the film to be produced by Christopher Columbus and Steven Spielberg.

7. SAD NEWS AS HORROR ICONS PASS AWAY
This has been an extremely rough week for genre fans as a handful of wonderfully gifted acting talents passed away.

Geoffrey Lewis, the man who was so incredible in Salem's Lot among other roles (often opposite Clint Eastwood), also passed away. He was 79. R.I.P. Geoffrey.
Richard Dysart, so memorable in his role as Dr Copper in John Carpenter’s The Thing, passed away aged 86. R.I.P. Richard.
A terribly sad week.
