“Monsters do exist; in us and among us. They walk in our shadow. They can prey on us more as we fear them less. We should know. We created them.” --- George A. Romero

HOLLYWOOD ADDRESSES HORRORPHILE!

Fear Itself title credit
I was contacted by the online publicity department of US channel NBC in regards to a new TV anthology, Fear Itself, where successful and respected horror directors deliver short horror movies; thirteen hour-long episodes to be precise. The first episode airs in the States, June 5.

Publicity explained that "Horrorphile.net was selected because we thought it’d be a great place to reach horror fans on the Web.". Fair enough. Keep it comin' I say!

The show is along the lines of the successful series Masters of Horror and directors include John Landis (An American Werewolf in London), Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator), Mary Harron (American Psycho), Darren Lyn Bousman (Saw II-IV), Ronny Wu (Jason vs. Freddy), and Breck Esiner (upcoming remakes of Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Crazies).

In a publicity savvy move I was sent the link to a teaser clip from Breck Eisner’s episode, The Sacrifice, which kicks off the first season of Fear Itself. Mr. Eisner himself addresses me, Horrorphile, and my readers obviously, and then introduces the clip. I was well chuffed!

From the look of the short clip, there’s a distinct Silence of the Lambs serial killer feel, although the actual premise is thus: "Taking refuge in an isolated snow-covered fort, four criminals find secrets, dangers and three alluring sirens." Sounds promising.

Fingers crossed the series makes its way down under sooner rather than later.

Here’s the teaser clip:

Methinks I'm too late for that ... But I might start a petition against the inevitable remake of Alien.

Bahahahaha.

Suddenly the power falls into the right hands.

Scare them silly by making them worry if you are going to say that you like it or think it stinks.
Well Done
