Horror News - Rob Zombie's The Lords Of Salem and Fright Night 3D!!!

Ah, I relish the days when there's good horror news to report. Today was a good one as I was able to bring you some info on The Crow, Silent Hill and Darren Bousman's upcoming project. Now I get to bring you some news on the 3D Fright Night redux as well as the latest from Rob Zombie! Read on for all the bloody goodies!

Fright Night 3D - Moviefone decided to post some low quality images and now you'll see the first ever stills from DreamWorks Fright Night 3D, Craig Gillespie's remake that'll arrive in theaters on August 19!

The first images will give you a first look at star Colin Farrell as Jerry Dandridge and neighbor Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin). You'll also get your first looks at Imogen Poots and Christopher Mintz-Plasse as the new "Evil" Ed.

In the film, "Charlie Brewster (Yelchin) is a high school senior who’s on top of the world—that is until Jerry (Farrell) moves in next door and Charlie discovers that he is a vampire preying on the neighborhood."

I have to say, this doesn't look too bad. I wasn't expecting much, but I'm starting to get a bit excited for this one!




The Lords Of Salem - Director Rob Zombie has released the first ever image from his low budget horror The Lords of Salem, teasing "I will say that the scene that involves this face is very painful."

From the producers of Paranormal Activity and Insidious, "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."

I must admit, this wasn't what I was expecting but it still looks pretty damn cool. I'm a fan of Zombie's work, particularly his original works, and the story sounds like fun. Kind of reminds me of Evil Dead meats Hocus Pocus (for adults.) Plus, some of the locations he's been scouting are pretty damn creepy looking!
