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. CLIVE BARKER'S WEAVEWORLD COMING TO TV
Horror legend Clive Barker (the man whose fiction brought us the stories behind Hellraiser and Candyman to name but two) is producing his epic dark fantasy novel Weaveworld for TV station the CW (home of Supernatural and Arrow).
It's an awesome book, so I can't wait to see what comes of this.
2. ALIEN: PARADISE LOST AND TWO MORE PROMETHEUS SEQUELS
Ridley Scott has revealed that there could be as many as THREE sequels to Prometheus!
Asked by German site FilmFutter whether he would answer the hanging questions from Alien, Scott said:
“Yes, but it won’t be in the next one. It will be in the one after this one or maybe even a fourth film before we get back into the ‘Alien’ franchise… The whole point of it is to explain the Alien franchise and to explain the how and why of the creation of the Alien itself. I always thought of the Alien as kind of a piece of bacterial warfare. I always thought that that original ship, which I call the Croissant, was a battleship, holding these biomechanoid creatures that were all about destruction."
Oh, and the next film has been officially titled Alien: Paradise Lost!
3. E4 LANDS SCREAM QUEENS FOR UK
UK readers, heard good things about Ryan Murphy's Scream Queens and want to know how you can catch it?
Wonder no longer, as E4 has issued a press release stating that it'll be airing the series this Autumn!

5. WATCH DOLL BOY NOW!
How many of you remember my review for awesome short film Doll Boy last year?
You know, this one.
Well the very kind 'Bloody' Bill Pon (director of Doll Boy and the long-awaited Circus of the Dead — stay tuned for more on that!) has been generous enough to put the entire film online for your pleasure! What a guy!
