Reblogged from Inside TV:

Here's a fun little extra from True Blood: The Complete Fifth Season, out May 21. Russell Edgington (played by the enormously talented Denis O'Hare), takes his turn in the Authority Confessional to address the mysterious vampire institution and his thirst for faerie blood.

Most importantly, check out the ol' boy's luxurious hair.

Oh, man, we miss Russell already, Yes, he was a dangerous psychopath, but man, every time he was onscreen was pure gold. We're also hearing rumblings about S6 having serious problems (including playing Musical Showrunners) but hell, we're still gonna watch; guilty pleasure and all that. Plus, Joe Manganiello for Mrs. Horror Boom (hey, I'm not made of plastic, people)! Will probably rent the season just for the extras... RENT.

Oh, Hey, Speaking Of REC 4 Apocalypse, We Got The Teaser Trailer Right Here (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR REC AND REC2)!

17 May 2013

Leave a comment

Remember that recent post from Variety? Well, speak of the devil (literally, in this franchise’s case; we have below the teaser trailer for REC 4: Apocalypse for your viewing pleasure. READ THE BELOW BEFORE WATCHING, THOUGH!

Warning re: this teaser…

1. It spoils the ending of REC (which, if you haven’t seen yet, you REALLY need to. Netflix has it …and it is in out personal Top Ten Scariest Movies Ever Made list. And that list was VERY hard to trim down).

2. It spoils the ending of REC 2. (Also worth seeing, unless you hated the first one… but I doubt you’d be here if you did)

3. There’s no new footage, but it is still scary as hell.

Screen shot 2013-05-17 at 5.34.31 AM

DO NOT WATCH THE TEASER IF YOU HAVen’T SEEN REC AND REC2 AND PLAN TO! YOU WILL THANK US LATER!

Otherwise… enjoy.

More plot details to follow… but it brings things back to Angela Vidale (“IT BEGAN WITH HER. IT ENDS WITH HER.”) and takes place shortly after the events of REC2.

WHUP! Did they say REC 4? There's even a teaser trailer for REC 4 Apocolysis (spelled that way for now ) out there; will try to find an embed-ible copy. It's not a prequel like REC 3, but instead gets back to the good stuff, old-skool: reporter Angela Vidale ...and the Medieros girl. Let's hope Javier Botet makes it in! Screen shot 2013-05-17 at 5.32.48 AM EDIT: We have the teaser trailer up right here!

Hey kiddies!  This is my new project called PERSEPHONE, named after a figure from Greek mythology.  Persephone was a nature goddess who became Queen of the Underworld after being abducted by Hades.  The myth of her abduction represents her role as the personification of vegetation - which shoots forth in spring and withdraws into the earth in autumn.  When she is in the Underworld we experience winter.

Persephone began her yearly visit to visit the world a month or so ago; let's welcome her back by reading about Joshua Hoffine's interpretation of this particular story from Greek Mythology (though in the version I learned back in school, Persephone was the daughter of an even more powerful nature goddess. The Robert Kurtzman Mr. Hoffine mentions is no other than one of the founders of KNB  EFX - not too shabby!

Trance is a dirty, messy little film. I'm not talking in terms of gore or graphic violence - although there is a surprising amount on display here. Instead, Trance feels like Danny Boyle is trying to get back in touch with his roots, the sort of stylishly shot, haphazardly structured and uncomfortably candid films from his earlier career. Boyle has, after all, gone from an underground…

"Trashy, pulpy charms," will guarantee a rental from us (and we're kind of sorry we missed it in theaters, too)! And then there were these shots from the Red Band trailer:

Kristin Wiig Hosts SNL – Don’t Miss This Awesome Grudge Parody, “Aw, Nuts! Mom’s A Ghost!” – Wiig Does Kayako

14 May 2013

Leave a comment

Speaking of Mother’s Day, here’s one last themed treat. Someone on staff in the SNL writer’s room is a Grudge/Ju-On fan like we are! Yeah, we know Kayako isn’t a Korean water ghost*, doesn’t vomit up black goo and that it’s Sadako in The Ring that crawls out of the TV. We’d be pretty shitty J-Horror/K-Horror geeks if we didn’t get that right.

Screen shot 2013-05-14 at 6.27.06 AM

MOM! we were trying to watch that!

So what happens when the Disney Channel does a new show about two kids whose mom gets drowned by a jealous man when she’s visiting Korea? Hilarity ensues. Plus Kristen Wiig nails it!

Screen shot 2013-05-14 at 6.23.52 AM

Hey, watch it, mister.

Click the big red link below to watch the whole sketch (and see some very familiar moments). I couldn’t embed anything because, well, it’s Saturday Night Live which airs on NBC, and this isn’t going to pop up on You Tube any time soon.

Click here to watch “Aw Nuts, Mom’s a Ghost!” the J-Horror parody sketch on the Kristin Wiig – hosted May 11th episode of Saturday Night Live!

I don’t know about you, but if it existed, we’d watch the hell out of that show!

Screen shot 2013-05-14 at 6.21.46 AM

Mooo-oom!

*Kayako Saeki is an Onryõ, the cultural Japanese term for a female ghost returning for vengeance! We know our stuff.

Happy Mother’s Day From Horror Boom! Watch This Tribute Which Will Of Course Not Scare You At All!

12 May 2013

Leave a comment

Really, such a touching tribute to mama mothers all over the planet. What’s that you asked?  Oh, of COURSE, it’s perfectly safe to watch with the sound cranked up all the way and the lights off!  Maybe you should watch it, though, just to be safe, before you send a link to any of the people you usually send Mother’s Day cards to. Never hurts to double-check.

On second thought, your mom might not appreciate it. Happy Mama‘s Day!

Scariest Short Horror Film Of The Week: 2:22

11 May 2013

Leave a comment

This is a great one. I’d actually recommend watching the film first (about 9 minutes long) before the ‘behind the scenes’ material. Don’t even watch the trailer, just go in clean. Here’s how to watch it. Go to the official site via link below, scroll down a little, and there’s a link to watch it on Hulu (age verification required, or I’d link directly to Hulu).

http://www.222short.com/

THEN check out the below link to Fangoria.com about the film (where we discovered it, thanks again, Fango):

The Newborn Dead: Terror at “2:22”.

The short film looks great for such a low budget …and there’s a nice nasty bite at the end.
