Gory greetings horroryearbook alumni! Welcome to another edition of IT CAME FROM THE MAILBOX, an exciting new column where your old pal Brain Hammer reviews whatever random crap the good folks at horroryearbook decide to send my way.
This time around I tackled a terrible trio of independent horror epics from Down Twisted Productions. The man behind the madness is writer/director/producer Sonny Fernandez. Sonny was nice enough to recently send along three of his most brutal and bizarre offerings to hyb for review. Apparently these flicks were too much for the tenderfoots to handle because they eventually wound up in my mailbox. It’s dirty work but someone has to do it. I decided to watch all three of these bad boys back to back.

Its always nice to wake up to good news, and Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd possibly returning for a third Ghostbusters film, and NOT a remake is very pleasant news. Variety reports that Columbia Pictures has set “‘The Office’ co-exec producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.”

While some horror fans first horror heroes were Stephen King, Vincent Price or Bruce Campbell, mine was Clive Barker. So much he even got me sent to summer school one year, because I refused to read anything that wasn’t by him and flunked English. Now you know why my grammar and spelling are so atrocious, because of good old, Clive.
Anyway Barker recently talked to MTV about horror remakes and his dislike of PG-13 horror films.

These Twilight pictures may not be new to the web, but they are new to Horror Yearbook. I have been swept up in so much Twilight mania myself, I’m a bit confused on what we posted or not. Also below are two of the updated Twilight teaser trailers. Enjoy!
Remember Twilight will be in theaters November 21st.

The slasher genre always did get a bum rap. It might have made oodles of dinero for the production companies, but they still turned their back on their product for fear of becoming victims to the backlash. Still, as with any tried and true formula, the slasher blueprint became a staple in other types of films. They might deny it, but many a film took the conventions and just dressed them up all pretty, hoping no one would notice the soiled underpinnings. Here are the 10+ movies that came to mind when I thought about films that fell into different genres but retained a little of the slash.

When I was a little tyke I didn’t know the difference between an R-rated horror film and a PG-rated film, and neither did my mother I guess, because I watched them all. Something Wicked This Way Comes was as captivating and horrifying to me at 7 or 8 as was Mother’s Day when I secretly discovered it at 10 or 12. When I became an adult, I spent way too much of my time searching for these films that were forever etched in my brain. Armed with nothing but my memories, I bought and rented numerous amounts of horror tapes in hopes to rediscover my “childhood classics.” To my surprise some of the films I remember as being tame were not so tame, involving rape, unthinkable violence and other situations a kid my age probably should have never been watching in the first place. One of the films that left an everlasting impression on me was Dark Night of the Scarecrow, but unlike the aforementioned films it was made for TV and involved no gratuitous gore or nudity. That, however, made it no less terrifying.

Yesterday when I solved the mystery on why the Twilight books and film (Fat Chicks Love Twilight) are so popular, I forgot that second to food fat chicks LOVE vampires. Why fat chicks are drawn to vampires like an all you can eat buffet may never solved, this post is not about that, its about the skinnier Twilight fans.

I think I was supposed to switch out the old Twilight posters on our site for this new one, because the only difference is the date at the bottom. Of course you all probably know by now, that Summit Entertainment changed the official release date of the film to November 21st. The only new information I have is that there should be an updated trailer coming soon. No word on if it will contain new footage or not. Keep your fingers crossed.
Don’t know what Twilight is? Where have you been? Read all about it after the jump.

HorrorMovies.ca just posted the new trailer for Sea of Dust (watch below) starring Tom Savini, Stuart Rudin, Suzie Lorraine and Edward X Young.
They describe the movie as: “A mind bending tale of evil with state of the art Special Effects by Josh Turi (Wendigo)! Lots of blood and gore, sensational High Definition Cinematography!”
Whatever that means…

I was digging around the internet for the latest gossip and entertainment news for our sista site 2Snaps.tv, and to my surprise amongst the big stories like; The Republican Presidential VP candidate’s daughter being knocked up, David Duchovny’s sex addiction and Kevin Spacey sniffing man-butt in Croatia, was the news that another pointless remake now has a director attached.

His gorgeous wife begins to also suspect something when she finds a bloody dress in his hiding spot in their home. Herbert is tortured by his “illness” so much so that it has rendered him impotent. But his wife loves him so much that she wants only for him to “love her” and do with her whatever he wants (including playing rough). But he will not let himself harm the woman he loves. In fact, he wants to divorce her to keep her safe but she will not allow it. She begs him to stay and act out his aggressions on her.

It all makes sense to me now, its always fat chicks who are obsessed with this Twilight type stuff. Fat chicks love to read romance novels while they lay around eating Oreos, imagining that the hot stud of the book would actually consider dating them. They are also the ones who always ruin American Idol by voting the Sanjyias through.
(Did I spell his name right?)

When it comes to “remake news” horror fans should have their gag reflexes pretty well trained by now, but when I heard they were remaking one of my favorite cult classics, Don’t Look in the Basement, I had to fight down a little vomit myself. That is until I heard director, Alan Rowe Kelly talking about his version of the film on HMF Radio the other night.
