More Horror

Hot on the heels of Forrest J. Ackerman’s death, I’ve come across a couple of much more positive horror goodies.

First, the flick that my friend Kelley was in, Women’s Studies, has been picked up for distribution. That means that all y’all will be able to see it. That’s good news for everyone.

Then, another friend of mine pointed me to a new zombie movie. It’s a foreign zombie film, but was a Sundance Film Festival selection (so it’s obviously got something going for it). What is that something? How about Nazi Snow Zombies? Yeah, that’s right. Nazi zombies coming out of the snow. Don’t believe me? Check out the trailer. See. Told you. Doesn’t that look kind of awesome? It’s called Dead Snow and it’s Norwegian. Here’s hoping it comes around here.

Finally, everyone’s favorite sports equipment-wearing slasher is back in action come February 13. The new trailer for Friday the 13th just hit the web the other day and I have to say I’m impressed. From what I see in that trailer and what I’ve read about the project as a whole, it sounds like this is going to be a good reboot of the series, staying true to the original character ideas and not going too campy too quickly. Plus, it’s got Supernatural‘s Jared Padalecki in it. That’ll be good for at least a few jokes in the television series after the movie comes out, right?

Here’s hoping, that as the world crawls out of real horror, we find some good fake stuff on the screen in 2009.
