A former Columbus City Schools substitute teacher was convicted this morning of four felony counts of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, reports The Columbus Dispatch.
The madness began when a substitute teacher showed Drafthouse Films and Magnet Releasing’s The ABCs of Death to several Spanish classes at East High School in Columbus, Ohio. She claims she did not watch the movie prior to showing the classes, and thought the film was in Spanish. The best part is: she claims she had her back turned each time she showed the film, and was unaware of what was on the screen. I hope she actually got convicted of being a fuckin idiot.

It seems like the only news I’m posting right now is about remakes, reboots and re-imaginings, and this post will be no different.
TheWrap is reporting that casting is underway on Rings, which is the latest installment in The Ring franchise.
“Rings” is also the name of the short – directed by TCM 2 and TMNTs’ Jonathan Liebesman – that accompanied the purchase of The Ring 2 on home video in 2005. Continue reading
While previous seasons of Hannibal have debuted amongst the cold embrace of late winter or early spring, this summer will see the return of the gore soaked gothic drama. NBC network entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt confirmed Friday.
Presumably because Will and Hannibal will have a hot oil wrestling match in the bright hot sun, of course this will be the rematch of the summer. Continue reading
Two years after it was revealed that Seth Grahame-Smith and producing partner David Katzenberg were developing a remake to Joe Dante’s classic Gremlins, it sounds as if the project is officially dead.
In a new interview with EW, Grahame-Smith explains that the project never came into fruition, and now all parties involved have moved onto other things. Continue reading
Have you ever thought to yourself, “Man, I wish I could smoke weed out of Jason’s face”? Well now you can! Ari Lehman (who played Jason as a child in the first FT13) is milking his Jason cred for all it’s worth, and his latest endeavor is Jason pipes!
You can purchase a glass pipe painted with Jason Voorhees’ infamous mask on it. (Odd since Jason didn’t dawn the mask until the third film) He’ll even sign it for you (for and extra fee, of course).
Even though the new Poltergeist arrives this coming July 24th, we’ve yet to see any sort of art, let alone stills nor the trailer. We’ve already heard it’s going to be “more adventure than paranormal”, and now cast members continue to reveals small details from the reboot helmed by Gil Kenan.
The latest comes from Sam Rockwell, who spoke to Collider about the modern day take on the Steven Spielberg/Tobe Hooper classic. Continue reading

Ok, so it’s not horror news, but Kurt Russell news will get just as much attention here, until the day comes where I’m not the only one doing news.
After years in development and a trip to turnaround, Fox has emerged from competitive bidding and closed a deal to remake the 1981 John Carpenter-directed cult classic Escape From New York, Deadline was the first to report.
Carpenter will be an executive producer and will exert creative influence over the project. Continue reading
Artist Tommy St. James has created 10 minimalist posters that promote horror films using iconic props contained within. No words, no titles, no catchphrases, just images. The end result are fantastic posters that demand you take a second to think, recalling the film and the scene from which the props are taken. It’s a great way to pay homage to the films without giving away the answer right away.
St. James tells me that the posters were created using, “…a mix of photography, illustration, and digital media.” Continue reading for a gallery of these 10 incredible posters and see if you can figure them all out! Continue reading
