Inc.) Paramount Pictures and producer Scott Rudin are set to remake The Blob yet again, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The meteorite spawned creature made it first appearance in Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr's 1958 film, then again in Chuck Russell's 1988 remake (with a 1972 sequel in between)... The Hollywood Reporter writes: "With several remakes under his belt, producer Scott Rudin is turning his attention to the 1958 B-movie "The Blob" for Paramount Pictures. The Paramount-based producer will produce the feature along with Jack Harris, who produced the original film. Judith Harris will serve as an associate producer. Starring Steve McQueen, the campy cult classic followed a mysterious creature from another planet that resembled a giant blob of jelly and went on a path of destruction as it grew bigger. The horror/sci-fi movie was remade in 1988 with Chuck Russell at the helm." Dread Central reports that the remake will be "contemporized"... (Thanks to http://www.horrorchannel.com/dread/) According to Dread Central, Revolution Studios has announced they’ve acquired the rights to remake John Carpenter’s 1980 ghost story The Fog... Cooper Layne (The Core and The Emperor’s Club) will write the remake, and John Carpenter (director of the original) will produce the feature along with long time partner Debra Hill. John had this to say about the new version; "I have done it once, and I don't want to do it again. I did my Fog, and now it's someone else's time. It's very flattering. It's terrific that they want to make it. We have been thinking of doing The Fog over for some time, as maybe a sequel. But now is the season of the remake." The film is set to roll in February.

(Thanks to Gavin Smith) Suicidegirls.com caught up with Shawshank Redemption writer/director Frank Darabont who is overseeing the Sci-Fi Channel mini-series that will be a direct sequel to John Carpenter's The Thing. Frank explains, "It's not a remake as much as it is a miniseries sequel to the great John Carpenter movie. It got reported in the trades as a remake but I would not want to remake a movie as good as John Carpenter's. But to do a loving sequel as a miniseries really does appeal to me. Then you're not screwing up somebody's great movie." The Thing sequel will be penned by Dave Johnson. For the full interview, click here.

(Thanks to http://www.horrorchannel.com/dread/) October 27: Creature review Dread Central reviews the Creature from the Black Lagoon: The Legacy Collection DVD. Check it out here. (Thanks to http://www.horrorchannel.com/dread/) A brief synopsis. Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born on August 20th, 1890. His impact as an author of supernatural horror has had a huge influence upon modern day horror, sci-fi and fantasy writers including the likes of Stephen King and Robert Bloch. It was he who created the enduring myth of that fabled tome of evil, the Necronomicon, which played catalyst in Sam Raimi's Evil Dead film trilogy. Yet sadly Lovecraft remains virtually unknown to the average reader or viewer, unlike his predecessor Edgar Allen Poe, whose stories are required reading in schools. With Lovecraft's great influence on horror fiction, it would seem inevitable that a documentary film would someday be made that would fully bring to light the life of this 20th century master of the macabre. This is NOT that film. Not since "Fahrenheit 9/11" has one movie generated more controversy! Prepare yourself for an expose' like no other - where quality investigative journalism is equaled only by the likes of FOX news! Bats will fly! Pants will be lost! Aliens will invade! Typewriters will be thrown! Wardrobes will be shredded! And makeshift dummies will be dropped from extremely unsafe heights! "LovecraCked" The truth is out there... The trailer can be found here, along with further information and images. (Thanks to Elias) October 26: Flesh of my Flesh gets some press! Edward Martin III's Flesh of my Flesh casting call (see October 22) was mentioned on the latest fangoria.com update. Check it out here.

The special edition disc will be released by VCI Entertainment on November 30th, not October 26th as previously announced... Fangoria reports, "The EVIL DEAD-style supernatural shocker with touches of Lovecraft, directed by Roger Evans, will be presented in both the original release version and a seven-minutes-longer director's cut, with commentary by Evans and writer Freeman Williams, deleted scenes, a photo gallery and trailers. This one retails for $14.99." Click here for more. (Thanks to http://www.fangoria.com/) It seems that reports of Mortuary's demise may have been a little premature... According to Dread Central, an email to producer Evan Katz confirmed that there was only a slight pre-production delay. The film is still in the process of location scouting and casting with thing's picking up speed this week. Mortuary is the story of a family that wants to start anew and decides to take over a funeral home in the small town of Arkham, Massachusetts... Check the official site for more.

Lovecraft Film Festival... Check it out here. (Thanks to http://www.cultcuts.net/) Plugging nicely into the world of Delta Green, Rough Magik is about The Night Scholars, a clandestine organization setup to monitor the ancient cult of Cthulhu. After decades of compiling an enormous database of arcane information, they have come to a single, incontrovertible conclusion: the Sleeping God is waking. Diana Armitage, with the help of her Home Office liaison, the mysterious Mr. Moon (Paul Darrow), launch an aggressive campaign against the Dreamers. This operation, designated the Rough Magik initiative, was successful but they trod on the toes of some powerful people, amidst accusations of financial impropriety and possible treason, and the Night Scholars were disbanded. Now years later, the old magic is returning, the Sleeping God is rising, and there are more Dreamers than Mr. Moon can handle as he struggles to rebuild the Night Scholars before its too late. Plus: Bob Fugger's Terrible Old Man and From Beyond and Darkest of the Hillside Thickets music videos. DVD also contains a screenwriter and producer commentary by Stephen Parsons for Rough Magik, interviews with the cast & crew of Terrible Old Man, bonus shorts, and an interview with scholar S.T. Joshi. Running time approximately 140 minutes. (Thanks to http://www.lurkerfilms.com/) The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets show I announced on October 8th has been canceled... (Thanks to Toren Atkinson) According to creature-corner.com, Tobe Hooper's new project Mortuary may have lost its funding.

(Thanks to http://www.creature-corner.com/) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 21, 2004 Portland Oregon's Guerrilla Productions announces an open casting call for their next feature film, an action/horror movie entitled Flesh of my Flesh. Flesh of my Flesh chronicles the last hours of the War of the Undead, and the people caught in the middle. Filmmaker Edward Martin III ("Innsmouth Legacy", "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath") reports "On one hand, this is our biggest most complex project yet. Flesh of my Flesh is a live-action movie with a cast and locations and sets and special effects, but on the other hand, our budget is amazingly small for such a thing. We are quite definitely taking a page from Rick Schmidt's book Feature Filmmaking at Used Car Prices. But the people we have so far, our crew, is just tremendous and skilled and we're all jazzed about the project." Open auditions for all roles will be held at The Mission Theater & Pub, at 1624 N.W. Glisan, Portland, OR 97209 on Saturday, November 6, 2004, from 9:30am to 11:30am. Actors are encouraged to visit Flesh of my Flesh's Downloads page (http://www.fleshofmyflesh.com/Downloads.html) to view a copy of the sides (script samples). Guerrilla Productions, fueled almost entirely by caffeine, released their first feature, "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" in October 2003 (and has already sold out of its first pressing) and has completed five short movies since, including the well-received "Innsmouth Legacy". Not bad for someone less than a year old. For more information, please contact Edward Martin III Please visit the official
Flesh of my Flesh website at (Thanks to Edward Martin III) October 22: Lots of Strange Aeons news! Director/producer Eric Morgret and writer/producer K. L.

Lovecraft's "Call of Cthulhu." (Thanks to Ray Zablocki

(Thanks to http://www.maelstromproductions.com/) Source: http://sknr.net/ According to bloody-disgusting.com, Stuart Gordon is still interested in doing a fourth Re-Animator film to be called, House of Re-Animator. Although a certain someone has to be re-elected before this will happen... GVK: What are you currently working on and what drew you to the project? SG: One idea I am kicking around is “House of Re-animator”. It is a political satire that should certain people be back in office, then I would do it. I hope I do not have to go ahead with it, but if I do, it would be about V.P. Cheney passing from a heart attack and since he basically runs everything, Dr. West is called in to bring him back. I would only go on with this in the event of re-election as otherwise it would be old news...

Some time ago, fangoria reported that Frank Darabont was to be involved in a 4 hour long Sci-Fi Channel remake of The Thing. Now (after some investigating) they've discovered that the project Frank's developing isn't necessarily a remake...but a direct sequel to John Carpenter's 1982 film. Fangoria reports that, "It should be noted that, after the success of SCREAM in 1996, '82 THING producer David Foster (returning for the miniseries) mulled over the idea of doing a new take on the story with a "hip, young cast," "However, this approach is unlikely to be picked up for the 21st-century cable edition." (Thanks to http://www.fangoria.com/) October 14: Dread Central interviews Sam Raimi Over at Dread Central is a new interview with Sam "Evil Dead" Raimi.

The featureless DVD sells for around $15... (Thanks to http://www.amazon.com/) According to IGN.com, Sam Raimi has expressed interest in starting Evil Dead 4 as soon as he finishes Spiderman 3. Especially, now that he has removed Ash from consideration for the upcoming Freddy vs. Jason sequel. Here is some of what he had to say; "I would actually love to and one day I hope to. I hope sooner rather than later. I really had a lot of fun with them, and I think the audience may now want to see one. Maybe when I'm done with the Spider-Man movie I can get to work on one" He went on to say; "Well, I actually really like those, the Freddy movies, and Jason is a classic American horror figure now. I have a lot of respect for those series, and maybe one day they will meet up, but right now what I'd like to do is, well I'd first rather make another Evil Dead picture, and then maybe when we're done with it, if there's an interesting story that really seems like it's not just a device to make money, which I'm not saying it was. I know that they wanted to do something really cool, but I wanted to keep the option open for myself to make another Evil Dead movie without the limitations of what that story may have done. That's really, I think, what it is." Click here for more! (Thanks to http://www.creature-corner.com/) After months of rumour and speculation, all of those (now) pointless articles and interviews being done about Freddy vs. Jason 2, Sam Raimi has finally said "That won't happen"... "I have a great deal or respect for Sean Cunningham. I think he's a brilliant filmmaker," he told Latino Review "I just didn't think it was a winning great situation for anybody." He went on to say, "I wanted to give the fans what they want with that. It's hard to know what the fans want with that, if that was the proper treatment. I just don't know. I don't think so. As fun as that sounded, I think they're in two different worlds, the Evil Dead and Jason/Freddy. Maybe another time, that would be a better combination." He does express interest in revisiting the character himself one day... Click here for more. (Thanks to http://www.horrorchannel.com/dread/) The teaser trailer for the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society's upcoming adaptation of The Call of Cthulhu is now online. This is the same trailer that played to rave reviews at last weekends Lovecraft Film Festival.

Some recent Lovecraft related films that I have been made aware of are; The Caul of Brocthulhu, Cthulhu, Stern Fathers Neath the Mould, The Lovecraft Syndrome and Flesh of my Flesh. The Caul of Brocthulhu is an upcoming project to be directed by Mad Martian that will be a starring vehicle for Broccoli Man. Click here for more. Cthulhu is the story of a gay history professor drawn back to his hometown by his mother's death, where he discovers his father's ministry may have ties to old massacres and monsters. The film will be produced by Arkham NW Productions and directed by Daniel Gildark. Stern Fathers 'Neath the Mould is a documentary currently in production from Spinning Grave Productions and director Thomas J Gleason (Enter the Dagon). It is based on the book by Richard Squires, and concerns Lovecraft's family on his Father's side and the author/historian (Richard Squires) who's quest has been to learn more about them. The title of the documentary comes from Squires book title which in turn came from an HPL poem. Squires has discovered a family of people more interesting and noble then Lovecraft ever led people to believe through his correspondence. Though they do have their fair share of tragedy and madness. The Lovecraft Syndrome
and Flesh of my Flesh have been mentioned previously in these
news pages. The forthcoming terrors
page now contains over 4 dozen films in various stages of production.
As noted, many of these films may never be realized, but they have been
announced... Open Circle Theater presents H.P. Lovecraft Theater of Horrors, running Oct. 8 thru Nov. 13. This October Open Circle presents three new adaptations of tales of terror from the master of the macabre and supernatural, H.P. Lovecraft. Each adapted by a separate author, these spine-chilling tales promise to present the viewer with soul-shattering horror so profound that no one's sanity will be left wholly intact. Oh, and did we mention that the various horrors, aliens and supernatural creatures will all be puppets? Last year's Lovecraft outing (The Horror in the Theater: an H.P. Lovecraft Tryptich of Terror) was the first in an annual series that will feature three different Lovecraft adaptations each year. Steel your very marrow for the experience! The three tales are: Nyarlathotep - adapted by Josh Knisely A brooding misery creeps into a turn-of-the-century European city on the heels of a mysterious Egyptian. Those who investigate too closely may soon be lost! The Doom that Came to Sarnath - adapted by Ron Sandahl Before the coming of man strange reptile creatures lived placidly by a lake. Upon man's arrival they are all sent to a watery grave. A thousand years later a major metropolis stands on the site, but murder is not easily forgiven, especially by the dead! Dreams in the Witch House - adapted by John McKenna & Lyam White A brilliant math student rents a room that in the 1600's was home to a witch. He soon learns that one era's witchcraft is another era's science, with the unexpected result that a strange dimension-jumping rat creature may just disturb his sleep - forever! All three tales are directed by Open Circle's Artistic Director, Ron Sandahl. Do not miss the terror and awe that is H.P Lovecraft Theater of Horrors. WHAT: H.P.

by the Elder Gods. The Necronomicon holds the key to releasing them
and summoning them back to our world." (Thanks to http://www.noxarcana.com/) October 6: Killing Miranda's Enter the Dagon Attendees of the H.P.
