American Horror Story: Cult. Tonite on FX - 10pm

Tobe Hooper, ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ Director, Dead at 74

This year has been a very sad year with the passing of legendary horror filmmakers such as George A. Romero. Now, another legend is dead, TOBE HOOPER, the man who brought us the most legendary, epic horror film THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. He truly changed horror cinema forever with Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He brought us many other great horror gems EATEN ALIVE, THE FUNHOUSE, SALEM'S LOT, LIFEFORCE, POLTERGEIST, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2, INVADERS FROM MARS, THE TOOLBOX MURDERS, MORTUARY, DJINN. He truly will be miss. May he rest in peace.

OSCAR WINNER MARTIN LANDAU - R.I.P.

Another sad news - Martin Landau, Oscar winner for his role as Bela Lugosi in Tim Burton's ED WOOD (1994) passed away today at the age of 89. Sadly, two legends Landau and Romero are now gone, back to back. Such a scary feeling, one day you here and the next day you are not.  Martin Landau starred in many films and in a few other horror films such as Without Warning (1980), Alone in the Dark (1982) and many others. May Mr. Landau Rest in Peace - we will miss you.

LEGENDARY GEORGE A. ROMERO PASSES AWAY

THE AMAZING, GREATNESS, THE LEGEND GEORGE A. ROMERO PASSED AWAY TODAY. Sadly he died in his sleep. He had a battle with lung cancer. Sadly the king of Zombie films NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, DAWN OF THE DEAD, DAY OF THE DEAD, and other great films CREEPSHOW, MONKEY SHINES, THE CRAZIES, MARTIN, he was a great inspiration for many horror filmmakers out there including myself and this is just ripping news.  The legendary horror filmmakers and actors are dying - this is just sad. GEORGE A. ROMERO you will always be KING OF THE ZOMBIES THE CREATOR THE MASTER OF THE ZOMBIE GENRE. IF it wasn't for GEORGE A. ROMERO there wouldn't be no WALKING DEAD idea for Robert Kirkman - trust me on that.  GEORGE ROMERO R.I.P. you are the greatest.

R.I.P. LEGENDARY DIRECTOR JONATHAN DEMME

Legendary Film Director Jonathan Demme passed away last week - forgot to posted here on eyepus.  Very sad news to hear. Will always be legendary for the amazing Silence of the Lambs and of course many other films.  May he rest in peace.

Davide Melini "DEEP SHOCK" - "Italian Giallo is ready to make its return!"

Davide Melini upcoming short film DEEP SHOCK, looks visually stunning and fiercely beautiful.  Mr. Melini is ready to strike us with a new masterpiece. The film is in post production now, due out this Summer.  The film pays tribute to "giallo" (thriller, mystery, horror noted for psychological themes of madness, alienation, paranoia and sexuality). The title Deep Shock pays tribute to the horror film titles from the legendary Italian film directors Mario Bava and Dario Argento. I mentioned this before here on EYEPUS - Davide Melini has the eye of what is true giallo and he falls in the realms of the legendary Italian horror filmmakers such as Bava, Argento, and Fulci.  Check out his teaser trailer DEEP SHOCK.

SYNOPSIS: "Sarah can't completely overcome the deaths of her grandfather and her older sister.  The trauma and lack of sleep cause her to embark on a strange journey of apparitions and murders, apparently caused by her mind..."

Starring: Muireann Bird, Francesc Pages, George Bracebridge, Lorna Larkin, Erica Prior and Luis Fernandez De Eribe.

Written and Directed by DAVIDE MELINI

THE NEW PENNYWISE CLOWN "IT"

I am a big fan of Pennywise The Clown played by Tim Curry in Stephen King's IT tv mini-series (1990). I'm not sure if I like the new Pennywise Clown version (above) for the movie version. Maybe the film version will be a hit or a flop - who knows, hoping it doesn't flop like another sucky bad remake (A Nightmare On Elm Street 2010 remake). The outfit the new Pennywise The Clown is wearing in this Entertainment Weekly photo looks tacky, and even the whole clown look - I don't know, it looks tired.  Pennywise The Clown, 1990 version was one, scary, deadly son of a bitch, the squeamish, saucy make-up, the big red wig and the outfit just scary. I hope and I pray Stephen King's IT movie version will give us one hell of a great scary ride at the movies come 2017.

ANTIBIRTH Official Trailer (2016) Natasha Lyonne Horror Movie HD

I just saw the trailer for ANTIBIRTH starring indie legends Natasha Lyonne and Chloe Sevigny and is a must see.

THE EXORCIST TV SERIES POSTER

HANNIBAL, ASH VS. EVIL DEAD, BATES MOTEL, TEEN WOLF,  THE OMEN, SCREAM, WOLF CREEK and the list could go on of all the television spin offs from horror films, now comes THE EXORCIST. A classic horror film now a television series for FOX.  I am wondering how they are going to get away with all the horror, the God cussing, the gore, the vomit and the blasphemy like the original film.  Maybe this would've been better for HBO, SHOWTIME where they could get away with everything like ASH VS. EVIL DEAD for STARZ. I'll check it out.  But I tell you -Hollywood is running out of original ideas now they digging into old classic horror films and putting them for the small screen.  We need original horror ideas for the big and small screen.

SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN - SHORT FILM REVIEW

SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN, Directed by Corey Norman, based on a short story by Stephen King...  Ms. Sidley, a grumpy, bitchy, unfriendly elementary school teacher (played by Anne Bobby from Clive Barker NIGHTBREED) asks one of her students named Robert to use the word TOMORROW in a sentence.  Robert answers back: “Tomorrow something bad will happen”.  As Ms. Sidley looks through her eyeglasses, she sees a reflection of Robert turning into a monster, is it a hallucination or is it real?  Does she sees good little kids or little monsters or is she hallucinating?  “There are more of us now” Robert says to his shady teacher Ms. Sidley.  With a chip on her shoulder, she takes matters into her own hand in a very sick way. But I wont tell you no spoilers here – you need to see this awesome short film.

Filmmaker Corey Norman did an awesome job with this horror short opus with great direction, cinematography and top notch acting from the cast.  A MUST SEE...
