This is the trailer for the upcoming film The Whisperer in Darkness which is from HPLHS Motion Pictures, the same group that brought you the now cult classic silent film adaptation of The Call of Cthulhu (a movie that every Lovecraft fan should see). It looks like they’re keeping the old time feel to this Lovecraft adaptation as well, but in the style of a 1940’s noir film.

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Rise and Fall of the Nazi Dinosaurs
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009Witness as a crack team of paratroopers investigate an icy base camp with a diabolical secret hidden deep within a sinister laboratory. There lying in wait are the most insidious and evil creations mankind has ever seen! Evil in the form of Nazi Dinosaurs! God save us all.
This snazzy little film was created by artist Alex Poutianinen in just five days and for just 20 bucks. Yeah, it shows but non the less it’s clever and funny.

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009
The folks over at Haunted Dimensions have a free paper model kit of the Bates House from the classic Psycho. Created by the site’s owner Ray Keim, the Bates House is a 1/66 scale papercraft replica that would make Mother proud.
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Trailer
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009Some of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was filmed here in Philly, so I’m kind of interested in this sequel for that reason more so than the fact that it’ll probably have the highest Michael Bay Blowing Shit Up (TM) ratio than any other movie to date. And as many of you know I just love fiery explosions. The trailer definitely gives you a glimpse into what you can expect from this film – lots of things blowing up, being demolished and us puny humans cowering before our intergalactic robot interlopers.
The film is due to crush your theaters on June 29th.
Nite Owl Dark Roast Coffee
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009
Here’s something for all you hardcore Watchman fans – Nite Owl Dark Roast Coffee. Yes, you read that right and it’s an actual product tied into the movie, apparently a world’s first for coffee. It’s the brainchild of the film’s on-set photographer Clay Enos, and is produced by Organic Coffee Cartel.
For about $20.00 you can buy 10 ounce of this fanboy fuel. But you better hurry ’cause only (?) 10,000 cans will be produced as a one-time limited-edition run, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to charity.

Tales of the Black Freighter Trailer
Monday, February 16th, 2009The one part omitted from the film adaptation of The Watchmen is the subplot about the fictional comic book called Tales of the Black Freighter, which scenes appear throughout the Watchman issues. The story in the story is an allegory for the overall theme of the plot, but is more than able to stand on its own. So it’s no surprise that Warner Bros. is going to offer it as a stand-alone animated film to be released on DVD on March 24th. And from the looks of this trailer that premiered at MTV.com they are not changing much of the story, which is very good.
Half-Life Fan Film: Escape From City 17
Friday, February 13th, 2009My fellow Half-Life fans, I present to you something awesome – Escape From City 17, a Half-Life 2 fan film. Directed by the Purchase Brothers, this is just part one of what will hopefully be a long series of shorts based on the hit video game from Valve.
From their YouTube profile:
The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve Corporation. Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi part series. Filmed guerilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500.
I really hope they continue with this project since it’s far better than anything Hollywood could produce I’m sure.
Fanboys Opens This Weekend
Monday, February 2nd, 2009The much anticipated nerd comedy “Fanboys” is hitting selected theaters this Friday (including Philly). For those of you not in the know the film is about the following:
It’s 1998 and Star Wars fanboys across the globe eagerly await the release of Episode I. But for Eric, Linus, Hutch and Windows the term “fanboys” is more than just a title, it’s a badge of honor. Spurred by impatience and an undying loyalty to their cause, these former high school friends reunite to undertake the road trip of their fan-tasies. Traveling West across the country to visit their Mecca – George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch – the plan is to break in, steal the film and stake their claim as the first fanboys in history to watch it. But to secure their place in the fanboy hall of fame, they’ll have to contend with bizarre bikers, a crazy pimp, a deranged group of trekkies and the quiet intensity of William Shatner.
Flavor Flav To Take On Crypt Keeper Style Role
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009
Following in the footsteps of one of my favorite rapper-turned-media-whore Snoop Dog, Flavor Flav, my second favorite-rapper-turned-media-whore, is throwing his hat into the world of horror by becoming the host of BET’s move-turned-series Nite Tales. Described as “Tales From the Crypt meets The Twilight Zone“, Flav’s hosting roll will be similar to Tales From the Crypt’s host the Cryptkeeper.
God bless you Flav for never having all of your crazy eggs in one basket.
