The film is directed by Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2) and is set for release on March 26, 2010. The story is loosely based on the Greek myth of Perseus, who tries to save his family from Hades. Hopefully there will be lots of cool demons to do battle with and they pick someone decent to play Medusa. Who do you think should play her?

IT’S A SUPERNATURAL CONVENTION! — Super fan Becky (guest star Emily Perkins) uses Chuck’s (guest star Rob Benedict) phone to trick Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) into attending a Supernatural fan convention, complete with fans dressed up as Sam and Dean.  One of the activities is a live action role playing game, but things quickly turn sour after a real ghost appears on the scene.

The story revolves around Harry who steals an ancient mask and becomes entranced by it, causing him to put it on which in turn transforms him into a brutal killer. He slays several people but one girl survives his attack only to follow suit and fall prey to the mask’s evil power. TG’s soundtrack steals the show and is far more entertaining than the film itself if you ask me, but it’s a fun little flick nonetheless. The film also features a song by the Austin punk band, The Huns, called Busy Kids. At the end of the credits the directors leave you with a little warning: ‘Evil Never Dies.’

It’s likely that the film was based off of H.P. Lovecraft’s short story, The Doom that Came to Sarnath, however it should be noted that Sarnath was an Indian historical city where Buddha first taught the Dharma. The word Sarnath comes from Saranganath which means ‘Lord of the Deer.’ Perhaps that explains the horns on the mask.

Check it out below and tell me what you think.

Having enjoyed Dirge’s deadpan, surreal characters for some time now, I was excited to have in my hot little hand a hardcover copy of Roman Dirge’s Lenore: Noogies from my BFF, Titan Books. Why you might ask? Because everything is better in hardcover and because this is an updated, full color version of the original four Lenore issues.

Dirge starts the book off with a little introduction as to why he reissued Lenore, with a very sad but amusing story that I only believe because weird things happen to weirder people:

“This redoing of the book took hundreds of hours of painstaking love to achieve. My hard drive containing the original digital files of the book fizzled out and died long ago. That was OK because my original files were still in the computers of my original publisher. That was OK too until a drunk driver ran into their offices, drove around inside trying to get away, effectively destroying any surviving digital files of my work.”

Yikes.

It’s great to see Lenore in full color and fun to reread some of my favorite stories which are well known for their surprise-twist and often bloody endings. Some favorite parts of the book include The Boy With His Heart in a Box, the footnote about Chinese people, Mr. Gosh and Things Involving Me. Noogies is a fun read, with lots of pretty pictures and enough subliminal mind control to keep you coming back for more.

You can pick up a copy of Noogies here.

Sarah-Jane Redmond (Lucy Butler) is probably one of my favorite characters on the show and her contribution includes a recording of a poem about “a malign entity that inhabits a room in a building and whispers to its living occupants.” Van Quattro (Willi Borgsen) tells the “haunting tale of a man filled with fear about the prospect of ghostly apparitions visiting him on the spookiest night of the year.” Missy Crider (Janette Vitti) “speaks of two lovers drawn together by circumstance who patiently wait for their miracle to come” as well as a lighthearted poem about Halloween. Barry Levy (Braylock) “tells [a] traditional tale of the Devil’s liege herself.”

Also of note is Back to Frank Black’s exclusive interview with Ron Selmour (Bones, Blade Trinity, Black Christmas, 2012) who talks about his role on Millennium as Ernie Shiffer and his upcoming role in 2012.

Here’s a little synopsis for each one:

30 Days of Night: Blood Trails

FEARnet and Ghost House pictures present an original series based on the New Orleans’ vampire hunter from the award-winning graphic novel 30 Days of Night. Staged two days before the events in the movie, Blood Trails focuses on a young addict who makes a living seeking undercover information for a weary but wise New Orleans vampire hunter.

30 Days of Night: Dust to Dust

Dust to Dust continues the New Orleans storyline from Blood Trails where fans first met George, an ex-junkie who, while trying to expose the vampires, got captured by the authorities and blamed for the trail of bodies. Our new series begins as Detective Nick Maguire learns that his sister Sara, a nurse at the local penitentiary, disappeared during a mysterious prison break in which George escaped. Nick ignores the wishes of his former partner, Gina, and begins to search for Sara himself. While scouring the gritty streets of New Orleans, Nick finds George and learns that there was more to the prison break than anyone thought, and that the wounds inflicted upon Sara may be changing her into a blood-thirsty vampire. Now, in order to save his sister, Nick will have to learn to trust George, and become a believer in the evil that stalks his streets at night.
