Horror Update

Recommended Posts

First off, as I mentioned last week, the release Eli Roth's "Hostel" has been changed again, this time being released on Jan. 13th. Also, if you live in Houston, TX, then I've got good news for ya: there will be a free screening of the film Nov. 21st at Magnolia Theatre. Eli Roth himself will be there, as will one of the films actresses.

 

Masters of Horror News: The Next Episode (10:00 PM/9:00 PM central Friday) is called "Jennifer",and will be directed by the one and only Dario Argento. Also, Season 2 has already been announced. So far, Eli Roth, Guillermo del Toro, and Rob Zombie have been tapped to direct episodes, while stories from Graham Masterton and David J. Schow (whose Story "Pick Me Up" will be adapted as an episode this season, and directed by Larry ("It's Alive", "Q The Winged Serpant") Cohen) will be adapted for the small screen.

 

If you live in Canada, check out the new movie "The Dark Hours", as I've been hearing some great stuff about it.

 

Finally, the late Mario Bava's son Lamberto Bave (who's credits include "Demons","Demons 2", "A Blade in the Dark", and to a lesser extent, the MST3K "favorite" "DevilFish") has returned to directing. His next film, "Ghost Son". The film stars Bava regular Coralina Cataldi Tassoni, as well as Laura (Mulholland Drive) Harring, Pete (Dark Water) Postlethwaite, John Hannah, and Musa (Hotel Rwanda) Keiser.

Funny thing:

The episode "Jennifer" of Masters of Horror, directed by Dario Argento, is shown when you order Episode 2 (Tobe Hooper's, I believe) on Comcast OnDemand.

Actually, Stuart Gordon's was the second one aired.

 

Hooper's one creeped me out. Especially the ending, and Robert Englund as the necrophilliac Party MC.

No, I'm not saying Gordon's didn't air. The reason I chose it was because of how faithful, at least in spirit, Gordon's adaptations of Lovecraft are (and since I'm a Lovecraft fan, I dig it). But what came on OnDemand was "Jennifer," not the Lovecraft-inspired episode Gordon directed.

I swear I saw a commerical that the Masters of Horror films are or soon will be on DVD. Can anyone offer anymore on this?
