What The Phuck

Exclusive Mother's Day Interview!!!

2009-08-11T21:04:00.006-04:00

Hey, folks! Once again it's been a while. A lot has been going on lately. Most of which I don't care to pour out on here to protect those involved. Alas, I survive another day and look forward to tomorrow. I WAS lucky enough to get a hold of an actress from one of my all time favorite horror movies, MOTHER'S DAY . I was nervous, but I still managed to gather the nerves to ask her for an interview, which she so happily obliged. With the remake coming out next year, the original is bound to get recognized once more. Read below for the exclusive interview with star Nancy Hendrickson

Every once in a while, a retro slasher arrives to little or no fanfare, only to be recognized years later, thus attaining what we like to call cult status. Charles Kaufman’s 1980 classic Mother’s Day arrived into theaters only to be looked down upon by fans of the then more popular Friday The 13th, which was coincidentally shot across the same lake used in Mother’s Day.

With the advent of VCR‘s and the VHS boom in the mid 80‘s, Mother’s Day soon crept into the homes of unfamiliar watchers who were exposed, among other things, to violent rape, torture, and ultimately a much well deserving revenge twist that was sure to satisfy the hungriest of gore hounds. More than 30 years later, the movie is just as well known as it was in 1980. It’s known enough to warrant a remake by famed Saw alumni Darren Lynn Bousman who promises that his version will be just as gritty as the original.

I was lucky enough to be in contact with Nancy Hendrickson, who played Abbey, and was able to get all the details of what went on during production. Read on to find out everything you’ve wanted to know about Mother’s Day!

NANCY HENDRICKSON

1. How did you get started in the business?

“I always wanted to be an actress. I started taking "drama" class as an elective in junior high, continued on through high school and then auditioned for Carnegie-Mellon University's Drama Dept. - the top undergrad acting program at that time. I didn't get selected after my first audition so I went to a local college, took acting classes, did a few more plays and got into CMU two years later. After I got my BFA I went to New York and started auditioning for plays. Almost as soon as I arrived there I met my first husband, Dan Loewenthal (editor of Mother's Day). I got a day job as a script supervisor/PA on a low-budget film and he was the 1st assistant cameraman.”

2. How did you find out about Mother’s Day?

“Dan and I were married at that time with a four-year-old son. I was working in plays and he had settled on editing as a profession. He did an early film for Charles Kaufman (director of Mother's Day and brother of its producer, Lloyd Kaufman). Charles asked him to edit Mother's Day so that's how I found out about it.”

3. Did you audition for anyone else, or did you specifically read for the part of Abbey?

“I don't think I auditioned when they were originally casting. Charles had cast all three parts with other actresses but one dropped out after the first week of rehearsal. They had one week of rehearsal left before the start of filming and Charles needed a replacement fast so he offered me the part outright.

4. What were the other cast members like on set when the cameras weren't rolling? Did anyone stay in character the entire time?

“No. No one stayed in character. However, Deborah, Barbara and I did almost everything together so that helped to build convincing relationships. The atmosphere behind the scenes was really very different from what you see on film, though. The five of us younger actors (the three girls and Mother's two boys) all became good friends and hung out together. We lived in cabins in an old Boy Scout camp and ate our meals in a dining hall. Barbara, the real name of the actresses who played Trina) and Deborah (who played Jackie) and I shared
a cabin and I believe the two guys shared one with each other.”

5. On the commentary for the dvd, it was mentioned that there was a relationship budding on the set between 2 of the actors and that Charles Kaufman had asked that it be put on hold to keep everyone in character. Do you have any insight on this?

“That would have been Barbara (Trina) and Holden (Ike). I don't remember it getting put hold. Maybe it just went underground. I know it lasted awhile after filming ended because I kept in touch with Barbara for quite awhile. In fact we went to Los Angeles together when the film opened there to try to take advantage of the film's release to advance our film careers. The two main actors from "Don't Go in the House," another horror film of the same period, were out here doing the same thing so we hung out with them and traded career tips. One of
them, Dan Grimaldi, resurfaced recently as Patsy Parisi on The Sopranos.

6. Also, Charles mentioned that before shooting a scene, Billy Ray Mcquade was so hungover from partying the night before that he vomited on Rose Ross. Were you there for that as well?

“I'd forgotten that but, now that you mention it, I do remember his throwing up one day. Michael (aka Billy) was a real method actor who would get so into his role he'd get carried away. When he tied me to the exercise equipment, he was pretty rough and he actually dropped me on the kitchen floor in one scene and I hit my head pretty hard but he was really a sweetheart. He was always terribly concerned that he'd hurt me and apologetic after the camera stopped rolling and he broke character. Michael went on to do quite a bit of work as an actor. Can't remember everything I've seen him in but I know one film he did was "L.A.
Confidential.

Btw, Rose Ross was actually Beatrice Pons who played the cook's wife on the 50's TV series, "Sgt. Bilko", starring Phil Silvers. She was also a regular Officer Toody's wife) on the 1960's show "Car 54, Where Are You?" Since she's passed away now and the statute of limitations is up, I think her true identity can be revealed without getting her in any trouble with the Screen Actors Guild.”

7. It was also mentioned that prior to filming, someone had died in the house. Were you aware of this?

“I remember hearing that. I didn't know if it was a rumor concocted to help us get into character or actually true but I really didn't want to know. It was a pretty creepy place, with or without a death, thanks to production designer Susan Kaufman (Charles and Lloyd's sister). She went on to have a big career as did Ellen Lutter who was the costume designer/wardrobe mistress/sometimes boom operator on Mother's Day.”

8. Speaking of the sets, What was it like spending most of the movie in the woods and in a dirty old house? Any stories?

“Well, as I mentioned already, the house really was creepy so we got out of it the minute Charles called "Cut!" No one stayed on the set for meals or breaks. There was a make-up trailer outside the house where we could hang out between takes. The woods wasn't scary at all. There were big lights all over during the night scenes and lots of crew members. And the Boy Scout camp was primitive but pleasant enough.

I think the scariest thing might have been the food they served us. There was a cook who worked full time in the dining hall making our meals and she did the best she could I guess but a lot of the food was procured for free in trade for screen credit.”

9. Some fans would really like to know what was used as the bear poop that Trina (Tiana Pierce) stepped in. Any clue?

“No. I can't remember. It looks pretty gross and realistic, doesn't it? We had a special effects person though who made the Drano I killed Ike with out of pop rocks and rigged the TV set that I hit him over the head with. I'm sure he made it and made several back-ups too because you never get anything on film in just one take.”

10. There were a lot of physical stunts in the movie. Did you do your own or did you have a stunt double?

“I did my own stunts and had the bruises to prove it. The only exception being that the bodies inside the sleeping bags were not us, except during the campfire scenes when you first see us being stuffed into them.”

11. What was the most difficult scene for you to shoot?

“The night time campfire scene because we shot it in New Jersey at the end of September which means it was 40 degrees and I wasn't wearing much so I was freezing the whole time. Carrying Jackie around in the sleeping bag was a close second. She lost fifteen pounds right after the shoot. Wish she'd done it BEFORE. ;-) ”

“The most memorable scene was the one where I lowered Trina out the window inside a sleeping bag - or it appears as though I did. I actually just had my hands on a rope that was being held taut at the other end. The scenes of the bag were
done separately with two guys holding a sleeping bag with Meta, the script supervisor, inside. I can remember the crew applauding after my takes were done and that was really surprising and gratifying.”

The make-up/special effects people did such a good job on my hands, that people who'd seen the film kept wanting to look at them afterwards to see if they had scars or whether they'd healed. Then a still photo of me with my bleeding hands holding the rope was blown up to life-size and displayed on the sidewalk outside some of the theaters where the film was playing. A shot from that scene also made it into Fangoria magazine so it would be very hard to forget.”

12. Was there anything in the script that didn't get shot? Was there anything that was shot that didn't make it to the final cut?

“Not that I can recall.”

13. Queenie's back story was briefly touched upon in the movie. Was there supposed to be more to this story that perhaps set itself up for a sequel?

“No one ever really said so but of course, as actors, we hoped that ending would be the jumping off point for a sequel.”

14. Were you aware that a then unknown movie called "Friday The 13th" was being shot across the lake? If so, did you or anyone else go over to the set and visit?

“Yes, we were aware of it and no, we didn't go to visit. When you're shooting there's no time for anything else. You work 12 hour days, then you try unwind a bit and sleep. On Sundays, our one day off, we would drive back to NYC to spend some time with our families.”

There was a small local bar in the area where we used to go sometimes after the shooting day ended. Patrons autographed the ceiling tiles there so of course cast members from Mother's Day did too. Apparently the Friday the 13th cast also visited the bar because they also signed the ceiling tiles but we never happened to be there on the same nights and never met them. I was aware that Betsy Palmer was in the film and that was a big deal as her name had been a household word when I was growing up. Because of those two productions that little stretch of northern New Jersey became known, for awhile, as the "Hollywood of Horror.

Friday the 13th was picked up by Paramount and released months before Mother's Day and it gave us all high hopes for our own film. That was the first time it really occurred to me that Mother's Day might actually play in real theaters - not just drive-ins. Interestingly, my ex, who cut Mother's Day ended up cutting Friday the 13th Part V and the character of the young boy in that film was modeled after our son.”

15. Mother's Day is known for its excessive violence and rape which caused it to be banned or severely trimmed in other countries. Did you think that it would have a negative impact upon its initial release? More importantly, did you ever think that it would have such a cult following, even 30 years later?

“Thirty years?! Yikes! That makes me thirty years older. I have to say that I never worried too much about the release because very few horror films had crossed over into mainstream theaters at the time we started filming - probably only Halloween and The Hills have Eyes. I did the film thinking it would be good practice in film acting and that no one would ever see it. When I was approached to attend Eli Roth's screening last year, I was absolutely flabbergasted to learn that the film still had so many fans.

It's true the tone was pretty dark compared to other horror films. I really think that darkness (along with the dark comedy aspect) is why it was never a franchise like Friday the 13th but also probably accounts for the fact that it has developed a cult following. I tried to dissuade Charles from some of the more tasteless scenes - in particular, stuffing Addley's mouth with sanitary pads - but he really wanted that edginess. I'm not sure how many people know that Mother's Day was an early effort of writer Warren Leight who went on to win a Tony Award for his Broadway play "Side Man" and who became president of The Writers Guild of America East.”

16. The ending pretty much left it opened to the viewers to determine the fate of Abbey and Trina. What would you have happen if the scene didn't end with a shot of Queenie jumping out from the bushes? Would you reprise your role as Abbey had there been a sequel?

“I liked the open-ended ending because of the fact that it seemed to be setting up a sequel but I wondered if it was dissatisfying to the audience not having the plot resolved. Yes, I definitely would have reprised Abbey.”

17. Were you asked to participate at all for Troma's DVD release? If not, would you have?

“No, I wasn't asked. I doubt they knew where to find me by that time. Certainly, I would have. The night the film opened in 1980, my husband Dan and I and Charles Kaufman and his girlfriend at that time took cabs from movie house to movie house in NYC (it opened in 70 theaters at once in the NY area) and we spent a little time at each watching it on the big screens and watching the audience's reactions. I was asked to do an interview for the TV show 20-20 that was doing a segment on horror films shortly thereafter but I had booked a commercial for the day of the interviews so Deborah Luce took my place.

A little over a year ago, after Quentin Tarantino bought the New Beverly Theater in LA, Eli Roth hosted a horror festival there and borrowed the last 35mm print of Mother's Day from Lloyd Kaufman. Charles Kaufman, who now owns and operates a bakery in San Diego, Rex Piano (a PA on Mother's Day who now directs Lifetime movies) and I were on hand to introduce the film and do a Q&A afterward.

18. Sadly, Frederick Coffin/Holden McGuire passed away in 2003 due to
complications with lung cancer. Were you aware of this? And do you still keep in contact with anyone from the movie?

“No, I wasn't aware of that and I'm very sad to hear of it. Unfortunately, I lost touch with most people associated with the movie in 1985 when I moved to California. I was in touch with Warren, the screenwriter, briefly, a couple of years ago when he had a play opening out here and I just saw Charles and Rex for the first time in decades at the New Beverly.”

19. A lot of fans were surprised when it was announced that Darren Lynn Bousman was going to be remaking Mother's Day. How do you feel about remakes in general? More importantly, what are your thoughts regarding them remaking Mother's Day?

“First of all, I heard it was Brett Ratner. Maybe they're both involved? In general, I'm not a fan of remakes because usually people choose to remake movies that were really successful and would be hard to do any better than they were originally. Consequently, the remakes are almost always a disappointment.

My only reaction to the news of a Mother's Day remake, however, is to be
intrigued and curious. I wish the filmmakers and actors well. I've heard it's not going to be just a straight remake but will have a whole new slant which I think is good. I also think it might revive some interest in the original. I'd love to do a cameo in it.”

20. Not only are you an actress, but you also write, produce and direct. What projects do you have lined up?

“I am just finishing up a rewrite on a comedy which I have high hopes for and producers waiting to read. I also have several features I've written being shopped by producers so there are various irons in the fire. Although I still like to act when asked, I no longer pursue acting work. My main profession is
writing now. I started in 1991, writing star-driven promo spots for The Disney Channel. Since then I've won some screenwriting awards, had scripts optioned and was a regular writer for Creative Screenwriting magazine for many years as well as a sometime contributor to MovieMaker magazine. I've written, produced and directed three short films and currently teach screenwriting, directing and general filmmaking at The Los Angeles Film School.”

21. Any last words for fans of Mother's Day?

“Yes. I'd like to let you all know how very appreciative I am that you remember that performance all these years later and for your interest and support. Andy Warhol said everyone gets fifteen minutes of fame but, thanks to your generosity and to new generations of Mother's Day fans, I've had way more than my fair share.”

Thank you so much for doing this. I speak for the fans when I say that we truly appreciate hearing from you. Good luck!

P.S. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!

First Look At The New Freddy Krueger!

2009-07-23T10:10:00.007-04:00

I'd be lying if I said I was excited for Platinum Dunes' remake of Wes Craven's 1984 classic A Nightmare On Elm Street. Most of you know that it IS my all time favorite movie. It's so much of a favorite that I've dedicated one wall in my bedroom to anything Nightmare related. With the horror genre being dominated by remakes lately, it was only a matter of time before someone would remake A Nightmare On Elm Street. That time has come.

Below you will find pics of the teaser poster for the remake, as well as a very darkly lit Jackie Earl Haley posing as the infamous Freddy Krueger, once played by legend Robert Englund. I think it's a good thing they're not showing his face right now. Giving too much away with the release so far off ( April 30th, 2010) would diminish the scariness of the Boogeyman in our dreams. Let me know what you think. Feel free to leave comments under this posting or to the right of the screen.

Free Day Friday!!

2009-07-17T10:20:00.005-04:00

Hey, folks! Been a while since I've posted a blog. Recently I was put in the hospital for severe stomach cramps, only to be told that I have Diverticulitis. For those that don't know what it is, click the word and it'll give you all the juicy details. It sucks, and the only way I can avert this is to stick to a certain diet, or have part of my intestine removed and get stuck wearing a shit bag for 3 months. I think you know which option I'm aiming for.

Anyway, since today is Friday, and I STILL love free stuff, I'm presenting you with a song from one of my favorite singers, Robyn. You may know her from her 1997 hit "Do You Know What It Takes?". Her latest effort has won many of praise from fans, critics and people in between. So, for your listening pleasure, I've uploaded a song from her 2002 album Don't Stop The Music called Breakdown Intermission. Enjoy, and be sure to leave comments!!! I feel so alone here on my blog without you people letting me know you're visiting!!!! Anyway, enjoy!

One Step Closer To The Finish Line

2009-06-30T07:31:00.005-04:00

Well, folks, it's ALMOST a done deal!!! I finally received word back from the director of The Girl (Starring Corey Haim, bitches!) sorta about my audition and the fate that lies with it. I can easily say that as of right now, I WILL be in the movie!!!!!!! I have no idea what my role will be but all I can say right now is that he said, "I can get you something in the movie...I like to have people involved in this stuff that are actual fans of horror movies or movie making in general."

He wants me to keep in contact with him so he doesn't get forgetful. I've brushed up on my stalking skills by watching Single White Female. Just kidding about that last part, but I DID watch Single White Female the other day and I still think Jennifer Jason-Leigh is kick ass! Okay, okay. I'm getting off topic...Now is the part where you leave me comments and boost my ego a bit!!!!

Oh, and for those who are confused, read THIS to see what the hell I'm talking about

Unless you've been hiding in a cave with Bin Laden, you know that Michael Jackson passed away on June 25th, 2009 at 2:26pm at the age of 50 from a massive heart attack. The world has lost a true music icon. It's unfortunate that his infamy has somewhat overshadowed his celebrity status. I can speak for most when I say that he will be truly missed, and his music will live on forever. Take some time to leave a comment about your experiences with his music. Keep it clean!!!

Waiting Is The Hardest Part

2009-06-18T19:15:00.004-04:00

It's been exactly 5 days and 2 hours since I auditioned for The Girl and I can hardly sit down sometimes when I start to think about the "what if's". "What if I didn't pronounce the words right?""What if I didn't answer the questions to their liking?" "What if I seem too over confident in myself?" For all I know, they could have cast by now and I'm waiting for nothing. But, I feel optimistic about this. Even if I am just an extra, it would still be a great experience being on an actual film set. Not many people get to even see that, let alone have a speaking role in a film. For now my dreams are filled with casual laughter with Corey Haim in between takes, or being a film geek and asking one of the Friday The 13th alumni to sign my empty Marlboro pack because bringing a poster would REALLY seem stalkerish. I will keep you up to date. In the meantime, throw a little luck my way and hope for the best. The journey has just begun.

That's right, folks! Yours truly has finally landed an audition. Well, sorta. Yesterday I was visiting a horror movie website and had stumbled across a story about Corey Haim getting ready to film a movie in Warren, OH in June, July and part of September. As I continued reading the story I noticed that they were holding auditions this Saturday for speaking roles. Not only is Corey in this, but actors from a couple Friday The 13th films and VH1 Scream Queens' Lindsay Felton.

The Ghost Lady Said Hello

2009-06-06T12:40:00.000-04:00

I've always been a superstitious person and what some would like to call "sensitive" when it comes to the supernatural. My DVR is set to record Most Haunted, Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures and any other paranormal show I come across. As I watch them (and yes, even I agree that some of their findings are a bit fake) I get excited at the evidence they capture on film or audio. Skeptics will shoot it down and have another explanation for it, while people like me appreciate and accept their findings as proof. I could ramble on and on about the things I've seen and witnessed until I was blue in the face but I guess you would have to be there to truly believe me.

Every house I've lived in has been haunted. I can remember being 4 years old and experiencing ghostly activity that could make a great reality show these days. Unfortunately in 1984, reality t.v was watching the news. For starters, there were 3 different spirits that we could identify. The man was a violent ghost. He would slap my mother, move things around and laugh maniacally in thin air, but oh so close. There was also a woman who would scream as if she was being tortured or murdered. My step brother assumed my step-dad was knockin' my mom around and came flying down the stairs to intervene, only to see them relaxing on the couch watching tv. After a few more flights down the stairs, and my parents beginning to think he was crazy, they too finally heard the womans ghastly screams. The other spirit we found was a dog. Yup, a dog. I don't remember this, but my mom said that my step brother and I would complain of hearing a dog scratching and whimpering in the wall that seperated our rooms. My only vivid memories of this house was the woman's face that would appear on the wall when I'd shine a particular flashlight. Even at 4 years old I knew that it wasn't just the light from the flashlight. I can close my eyes and still picture her face. It was calming to me. I was never frightened.

Then there was my Dad's house. Built in the 1800's, it was passed down from generation to generation, finally landing in my Dad's hands. When I was 13 was when I started to notice the paranormal activity going on. They say that when one starts to reach puberty, they are more able to tap into their 6th sense, thus the allowance of witnessing paranormal activity. This doesn't mean that EVERYONE can achieve this, but mostly those who have an open mind, like me. I remember seeing the ghostly figure of a very old woman in a hospital gown in the basement, just staring at me while I rode this old exercising bike with my headphones on. If I could have peddled that bike up the stairs when I saw her, I would have! My aunt was visiting at the time and I could barely catch my breath when I tried to explain to her what it is I saw. She asked me to show her where I saw her at, so I bravely ventured back down to the basement and showed her. She just chuckled and said "That was your Great Grandmother. She was standing next to her fruit cellar which is where she spent most of her time here." One night my cousin spent the night and we set up a tape recorder in the basement to capture any noises. Replaying the tape the next morning was exciting once we heard the faint cries of a woman, some footsteps and a couple of other unexplained noises.

The house I'm in now is haunted for sure. All of my friends have told me at one point or another that they get an uncomfortable feeling in the hallway, which is funny since that's where everyone seems to see the shadows of someone standing there. By this point in life, I've had a couple of legit ghost hunts under my belt. On one of them I took something home with me (which you should never ever do!!) and brought a spirit home as well. Being that this item came from the prison, I had assumed that it was an inmate that was once there. Now he was in my home! AAAAAH!! the item I had was under my bed now mind you. The bed would start to shake, we'd see indentations at the foot of the bed as if someone had sat down. Squiggly rays of light would appear and dart off in different directions. Then there was the foul odor of rotten eggs, shit and a drunk nights worth of vomit all rolled into one that would appear and go away all of a sudden. Finally I had enough and threw the item away. The spirit left with it in the garbage. I'm sure he's wandering around the Portage County Waste facility now.

So, now the present. The reasoning behind this blog. The past few weeks I've actually heard a spirit say "Hello". It sounded like an older woman. It was never frightening, but more of a friendly tone. Today my dogs were freaking out which is totally normal if someone is outside, or an animal. But they shut up right away. I noticed my cat, Jack, standing in the hallway with all of his hair standing up, intently stairing down the hallway. At that point I heard this woman say "Hello" clear as can be. This time I grabbed my camera and started to snap some pictures. When I uploaded them to the computer, I noticed that in both pictures there were orbs. Now this where you say "It's just dust". I would have to agree with you, but there was one orb in particular that seemed to move. I've posted both pictures below for you to see. Look at the one on the beige rug. It's pretty bright. In the 2nd picture, the same orb seems to move up closer on the floor towards the living room. Look and discuss, folks!

Free Day Friday!!!

2009-06-05T14:14:00.003-04:00

I don't know about you, but I looooooooooove to get free stuff. When I get free things I pose like Molly from Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers. I remember once signing up to get freebies in the mail and was mortified when I received a free trial of super absorbent tampons as my first freebie. These freebies are MUCH better, I assure you! So, let's get to it!

Kicking off my first Free Day Friday is this classic 1989 song from the Rainman soundtrack, Iko Iko by the Belle Stars. This is an extended dance remix, so extend your butt from the chair and shake a tail feather or two!

Every wedding will not be complete until they've all done the Conga. Gloria Estefan made the late 80's a little more cheesy by concocting this effort which proved once and for all that in some cases, it WAS okay for your aunt to be holding onto your waist from behind. I should recommend that during the music solos it is your duty to break it down regardless of who's in your way. TAKE THEM OUT with your hips!

Some, or most of you should know by now that I have a thing for Olivia Newton-John. This "thing" has allowed me to get to the point where I purchase an Olivia album anytime I see one. Even if I already have it. You may call it OCD, I call it P-H-U-N. Right now, my collection is at around 160, give or take a few.

I don't seem to ever find any decent remixes of her stuff on the internet. Most seem to be the original song with a badly pasted beat that doesn't match up with the song, or they speed up her voice too high and she sounds like she's one helium hit away from passing out. I found this remix of A Little More Love on another blog. I don't remember who's it was, so sorry I can't give you a shout out.

You may know her as the whacked out judge on American Idol. I know her as a staple of my 80's musical youth. That's right folks, Paula Abdul. These days she's attempting a singing comeback of sorts and the singles she's released have proven that her voice just isn't what it used to be, for producers are giving her voice the Cher-bot effect and digitizing the hell out of it. I must say that when I saw her performance of I'm Just Here For The Music on American Idol, I was very impressed with it, even if she did pull a Britney Spears and lip sync it. For those who missed it, the song is here for you to download. Vicodin may or may not be needed while you listen to it.

She's Waiting!

What? You think I'd leave you sappy song lovebirds out of the picture? No way! The other night while I was uh, "sampling" music I decided to listen to Roxette's discography. I found myself skipping through more of the songs than listening to them. As most of you remember, Richard Gere wasn't getting his hooker love at the end of Pretty Woman. But once It Must Have Been Love kicked in and we had our montage of both he and Julia Roberts' characters sad and confused, wondering if he'd ever come rescue his princess. So, here ya go. Cry your eyes out and think about the things that could have been.

She doesn't kiss, but you can click!

I highly doubt anyone is reading this except for the very few I have sent links to. I'm still not even quite sure what I'm going to be posting on here. Either way it will give you an insight as to what's going on in my head. I'll try to be as blunt and open as possible (even though I have a hard time doing that sometimes in person) in hopes that you will come back for more. So, to kick things off, I've decided to post a few things that I've noticed lately in the horror world.

First thing is the awesome trailer for The Final Destination: 3D that hit the web today. While you all know the basic premise of the first 3, they decided to up the ante with this one and let you see the blood and guts fly at you in glorious 3D. Check out the trailer and see if it's worth the price of admission on August 28th, 2009 or it's eventual DVD release.

Also arriving to theaters on August 28th, 2009 is Rob Zombie's Halloween 2. Several pictures posted by Zombie himself have hit the web as well as the teaser trailer for what's to come. Rob has stated that this movie is more about what's going on in Laurie Strode's mind, rather than Michael Myers. Check out the trailer below and see for yourself what's happening this Halloween in Haddonfield.
