Horror News - Horror Game Apps, The Lords Of Salem and Mortal Kombat

Welcome fiends, it's been a while. There hasn't been much to report on lately, at least nothing worthy of your time. However, I found a few interesting stories today that you may want to sink your teeth into. Read on below.

The Lords Of Salem - Rob Zombie updated his blog with a few new photos from his recent trip to Salem where he's been location scouting for The Lords of Salem, his latest genre film produced by Haunted Pictures (Insidious, Paranormal Activity).

"The story is about a local DJ who mistakenly unleashes a hellish curse on the town. 300 years earlier on the very streets of Salem that the townspeople walk on today, innocent folks were rounded up from their homes, convicted of being witches and sentenced to death. The Lords of Salem ran the town with an iron fist, but four witches who were tortured and killed in secrecy vowed that one day they would be back for revenge.

Mortal Kombat -  Variety confirms that Warner Bros. is hoping the popularity of the Mortal Kombat web series will lead to a new fatality in theaters:

"Now the studio hopes the edgy new series and grittier game, developed by NetherRealm Studios and led by "Mortal Kombat"-creator and creative director Ed Boon, will eventually lead to a bigscreen adaptation and relaunch a film franchise whose last outing was New Line's cartoony "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" in 1997," reports Variety.

Here's hoping we get to see something amazing on the big screen and not a watered down pg 13 version!

Horror Apps - Announced a few weeks back, later this month the Weinsteins will release "Angry Pinheads," a game based on the villain in its Hellraiser series. This joins "Screamville," a game app that accompanies its latest release, Scream 4.
