Horror News - Fun Size, Plantation, and a Killer Horror Video Game!!!!!!!

It seems I can't stay away from you guys! More horror news is coming in and, as usual, it's my pleasure to bring it to you. I'm also pleased to bring you some news on what sounds like a killer horror video game geared towards us fans!! Read on for the news my fellow gore lovers!

Fun Size - Paramount Pictures has offered Victoria Justice the lead role in Josh Schwartz's upcoming Halloween-themed comedy Fun Size, reports Variety. Justice is the star of the Nickelodeon show "Victorious." She beat out the likes of Chloe Moretz and Jane Levy for the role. Schwartz will direct and produce through his Fake Empire company along with Anonymous Content.

Max Werner penned the script, which "revolves around a teen who is forced to take her brother out trick-or-treating, loses him along the way, and must find him before their mother finds out."

This sounds like a mix of "Adventures In Babysitting" and "Trick 'R' Treat." I hope this ends up being more adult oriented and not a PG crap fest. While I'm not overly familiar with Justice, I can say that she certainly is easy on the eyes. Checking out her message boards, a lot of people (over the age of 21) actually say she can act. I guess time will tell.

Plantation-Highland Film Group site claims that both Liv Tyler (The Strangers) and Gary Oldman (Dracula, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) have expressed interest in starring. Adam Marcus is no longer directing. The film, originally titled I Walked With A Zombie, the film is being distributed for Twisted Pictures, the people behind the Saw franchise.

From a story by executive producer Andy Fickman, and a screenplay by Adam Marcus and Debra Sullivan, "Besty, a young haunted school teacher, is running from her past. She accepts the generous offer from Mr. Theroux, agreeing to home school his children while living with them in their idyllic family plantation.Betsy quickly embraces the children and earns their trust, but questions the children's strange distant behavior. Soon she uncovers a dark family secret, and suspects that Mr. Theroux may have harmed his own children.Betsy must navigate through Voodoo mythology, ritual curses, and other security measures put in place by Mr.. Theroux to prevent his kids from leaving from leaving the isolated plantation. To rescue the children, she must risk her life in order to escape the supernatural evil that surrounds them all."

 Horror Games In The Works!!! - The Weinstein Company has announced today a new initiative in the video game industry by launching TWC Games. The TWC Games label will utilize The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films’ properties, and work with external partners to develop and publish video games for mobile, social, and console platforms. Properties in The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films catalogue include Scream, Hellraiser, Halloween, Scary Movie and Children of the Corn, among many others.

Co-Chairman Bob Weinstein: "The video game marketplace is changing at such a rapid rate. With all of the digital platforms, there are so many opportunities to broaden our audience with compelling, high quality, cost-efficient, video game entertainment." 

“The Weinstein Company is an incredible entertainment company, and I share their vision for creating very high quality content for the marketplace,” said Boyes (President of Beefy Media.)  “We plan to combine our extensive video game developer relationships with the impressive catalogue of properties to create and produce content made by gamers for gamers.” 

I have always thought a horror game which crosses over other characters would be amazing. Anyone else who's with me may want to check out Terrordrome-thegame.com and show some love for the passion project that they've been developing, for free I may add.
