Continuing with his cruel taunt-and-tease shenanigans, Rob Zombie has recently released a new badass concept-art image of forthcoming film Tyrannosaurus Rex. While any plot-points or story-lines remain in complete shrouds, the rocker-turned-horror director forges ahead with the slow drip of tantalizing MySpace images that we can only hope alludes to what the film is actually about. Who knows, given this particular layout and a release date over year away (August 28, 2009), Zombie and team might put out a comic-book lead in as a way to introduce the characters (doubt it, but that'd kind of be aces, no?) As it plays, seeing is believing - and despite Zombie denying any dinosaur involvement in the film, it's clear as day that (and for the second time in a poster) that the prehistoric giants take center stage (or frame, I guess). More teasing perhaps? We'll just have to wait and see.
Could Campbell Load the Shotty One More Time?
With a season two premiere of a non-horror series debuting for Bruce Campbell on USA ("Burn Notice"), the iconic b-movie funny man has been sitting down for press interviews and shameless plug-ins. In specific, Campbell sat down with Dalton Ross of Entertainment Weekly and in conjunction with his new projects, couldn't for the life of him avoid the ineluctable Evil Dead questioning. Good natured however, Campbell exhorted fans NOT to expect an Ash reprisal anytime in the near future UNLESS one of his closest buddies and the man responsible for the original is onboard as director as well (that of course being Sam Raimi). He went on to add that Raimi is in high Hollywood demand at the moment, creatively tilling 'fertile' land with bigger and bolder projects. Campbell quips: "we can do those movies anytime. When I'm in the old actor's home and Sam is in the old director's home, he'll call me up and we'll make one more..." Check out what he goes on to say below!
Just like the infamous "sloth" scene from the movie Se7en, except worse because this is real.
It took a staggering 35 years for the neighbors of Hedviga Golik to figure out that the reason the Croatian woman had not left her apartment (or made a sound for that matter) was because she was dead, decomposing for almost four decades. While forensics were able to determine that the woman died in 1973, they couldn't say what the cause of Golik's death was given her advanced state of putrefaction, stating that "it's almost impossible to say for certain."
Mrs. Golik's window was also found to be left open all these years which reveals why the stench of her remains had not prompted her neighbors to notice something was wrong earlier.

Fun for the whole family!
Whoever said video games are nothing more than murder simulators that teach our children to be rotten sociopaths obviously hasn't played The Torture Game below. My favorite is the chainsaw.
After Hostel: Part II, the sequel to Eli Roth's brutally violent 2005 horror film about an underground Slovakian hunting club where you can literally pay money to mutilate and torture humans, failed to meet the success of its predecessor, talk on Hostel: Part III ceased and the director eventually made it clear that he's not interested in doing a sequel. However, now reports are surfacing that the third movie in the Hostel series is indeed coming.
According to Bloody-Disgusting.com, they have "confirmed rumors" that Hostel III is in the works. The source also notes that Scott Spiegel (producer of Hostel, Hostel: Part II, and writer of Evil Dead II) is being considered to direct Hostel: Part III. While it might be a bit early to get excited about "confirmed rumors," any news on Hostel 3 is a pretty big deal considering the movie was not going to happen for so long.
It'll be interesting to see what the third film in the grisly series will be about (that is, if it does come to fruition), but we can't help but wonder if it'll tell the story of what happens to Beth after she castrates and beheads a couple of members of Elite Hunting at the end of the second movie.It would definitely be cool to see her get revenge by going after the remaining members of Elite Hunting, turning the torturers into the torturees. Or maybe it'll tell an entirely new story, perhaps a prequel chronicling the formation and beginnings of the Elite Hunting organization.What do you think Hostel: Part III should/could be about?

After his latest cinematic debacle Mother of Tears, Italian splatter king Dario Argento turns to a cast of American talent for his newest foray into the macabre - a slasher flick entitled Giallo. Cut from the same cloth as Tenebre or Deep Red, Giallo revolves around an American stewardess in Milan, who must cooperate with an Italian detective to rescue her kidnapped sister from a homicidal madman known simply as 'yellow.' Aside from literally translating in Italian as 'yellow' the word 'giallo' has come to represent an entire film genre unto itself, one that incorporates elaborately gruesome fatalities with the punctuation of odd musical arrangements and ambient tones. Anyway, Argento's freshest effort stars Adrien Brody (replacing Vincent Gallo as the Italian detective) Emmanuelle Seigner (as the American), Elsa Pataky, Robert Milano and Byron Deidra in the titular role. Giallo will open some time in 2009.
The Frog's doing a rare bimonthly check in (a technicality, we assure you), this time shining my swollen eyes on Francis Teri's 1990 release of The Suckling - an utterly vile, low-grade, micro-budgeted piece of underground trash. In other words, a great fu*kin' picture! Also known as Sewage Baby (U.K.), Teri's flick centers on a young woman who goes to a back alley abortion clinic that not only doubles as a seedy brothel, but resembles the house of Leatherface, stranded, bucolic. High technology has the poor girl discharging a miscarried fetus into a toilet, it slides through the pipes and lands in a steaming pond of radioactive bilge. It mutates in some of the most jaw-dropping effects work we've seen (especially in a movie of this caliber). The fetus animates, developing an insatiable thirst for blood and rockets back up the toilet pipe to wreak unadulterated hell on the people who unceremoniously flushed him/her. Seriously, this is the most convincing pro-life film to ever be committed to celluloid!
The official poster has been released for the fifth installment in the Saw franchise, Saw V. The new film continues the franchise's tradition of featuring grisly yet vaguely artistic imagery on its advertisements for the films in the longstanding horror franchise--though, somehow the Saw V poster below doesn't gross us out as much as Saw III's which showed three bloodied teeth that were wrenched out of someone's head.This time around first time director David Hackl will be taking on the movie, Hackl having previously worked as Production Designer on Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV.
Saw V hits theaters the day before Halloween (October 24, 2008).

Women have always been huge part of horror films and the horror universe in general, but sometimes female fans of the genre are not as well represented as the rest of us men. Don't be fooled though, there are swarms of girls who love horror just as much, if not more than, the next dude in a Dawn of the Dead t-shirt and we here at OMGHorror want to pay tribute to all the females out there who live for scary movies. Join us in the first edition of Girls Who Love Horror where we talk with certified horror fiend and actress Lissa Slasher.
According to JoBlo, Writer/Director Richard Kelly (of lauded Donnie Darko and lambasted Southland Tales fame), has been forced to sit back and watch his third feature, The Box open a year later than anticipated. The Warner Bros. film - starring Cameron Diaz, James Marsden and Frank Langella, is now slated for a September 11, 2009 release (nice memorial huh?)
Diaz and Marsden Ponder the Ramifications of Opening The Box!
The picture is based on the musings of famed author Richard Matheson's short story "Button, Button" which was first published in the June edition of Playboy Magazine in 1970. The story centers on a couple who mysteriously receive a wooden box on their doorstep. Opening the box instantly rewards the couple with a mass of wealth, yet unbeknown to them, opening the box also kills a random stranger. Of course they crack the seal and all horrifying hell busts out. With their own young child and only a 24 hour window to quell the madness, the couple is faced with a moral dilemma that will alter the course of their lives forever. Let's just hope there is more intentional fright in this picture than there was unintentional fright in Kelly's last effort Southland Tales.
"Button, Button" was also adapted into a 1986 Twilight Zone episode starring Basil Hoffman, under the title "Profile in Silver/Button, Button."
