ALL THE WEEK'S HORROR HEADLINES (4th-11th 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. THE HOWLING AND DEE SNIDER'S STRANGELAND HEADING FOR REMAKES

Emaji Entertainments has secured the remake rights to not one, but TWO cult classics. First 1981's werewolf flick The Howling (which has actually spawned SEVEN sequels already!) and also the 1998 Dee Snider vehicle, StrangeLand. Written by and starring Snider as the creepy Captain Howdy, this has built up quite the following.

Read Emaji's press release on The Howling here.

2. NEW SCREAM SERIES TRAILER

Heh heh heh. Awesome.

3. ROB ZOMBIE REVEALS ANOTHER 31 IMAGE

I feel like I've seen this movie already! Yet another image from Rob Zombie's 31, this time showing the good guys including Eighties icon Meg Foster and the ubiquitous Sheri Moon Zombie in the most awesome/bizarre top I have ever seen.

4. GRAVE ENCOUNTERS: THE BEGINNING!

Fans of the Vicious Brothers' found-footage shockers Grave Encounters and its sequel (both of which I thought were pretty cool!) will be licking their lips at the filmmakers' latest tweet.

Prequel? I'm down with that!

5. FATAL PICTURES GIVES US A LOOK AT HEIR

I loved Fatal Pictures' last two shorts, Worm and Familiar. I love the work of the hugely talented Robert Nolan. And I love everything that I've seen with the hardest working man in horror, Bill Oberst Jr. I'm pretty sure you can guess how I feel about Fatal Pictures' Heir, starring both Nolan and Oberst.

It cannot come soon enough.

6. NEW RELEASES

First up a movie that I have been waiting forever to see — Wyrmwood.

It's Mad Max with zombies.

I'll let that sink in.

Buy it at Amazon here and stay tuned for my own review.

Next up we have the intriguing The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Miss Osbourne starring the great Udo Kier.

Buy it at Amazon here.

Also out this week we have creepy looking haunted house tale, The Haunting of Radcliffe House.

Buy it at Amazon here.

Are you a British reader and after more atmospheric homegrown frights? The Sleeping Room could be the flick for you!

Buy it at Amazon here.

If you prefer your movies with zombies and Billy Zane (and who doesn't love that????), check out Zombie Killers: Elephant's Graveyard.

Buy it at Amazon here.

And finally, here's a ghostly woman and a spooky child flick, Awakened. That ticks a few boxes, am I right?

Buy it at Amazon here.
