At the end of March in "Grimm" Episode 2.16, "Nameless," we first met the Wesen known as a Fuchsteufelwild. NBC has released another profile that features this scary, goblin-like creature whose fingernails slice through its victims like butter.

Per the "Grimm" Wiki:

The Fuchsteufelwild (FOOKS-toy-fuhl-vilt; pl. -wilder, Ger. fuchsteufelswild, "furious as a fox-devil") is highly sadistic and loves to play intricate games with its victims. While the nature of the games varies, they all have one thing in common: The victim must guess the Fuchsteufelwild's name, which is always an anagram of the letters that make up the name Rumpelstiltskin. Due to their enormous egos, Fuchstefelwilder will become violent if they feel like they are about to lose and will frequently try to kill their victims. If they know there is no way they can win, Fuchsteufelwilder will often commit suicide. Despite their formidable offensive capabilities, Fuchsteufelwilder prefer to take on their prey one at a time via ambush; likely stemming from their small stature. If faced with multiple well armed foes, Fuchsteufelwilder will run. Fuchsteufelwilder are particularly terrified of Grimms.

When woged (i.e., changing into Wesen form), Fuchsteufelwilder gain green skin, sharply pointed ears and nose, as well as fangs. Most notably their four fingers fuse into two large digits from which extend razor-sharp fingernails. From their nails drips a highly corrosive acid, which is generated from the muscles in their hands. When the acid is used in conjunction with their nails, Fuchsteufelwilder can cut through flesh like a hot knife through butter. Despite being small in stature, Fuchsteufelwilder can leap incredible heights and distances, even while in human form. Fuchsteufelwilder are highly intelligent and clever, which allows them to concoct their highly elaborate plans. When they woge, their voices get higher and more shrill.

Be sure to tune in tonight (April 26th) for Episode 2.18, "Volcanalis," the show's final Friday night installment before it moves to its new home on Tuesdays beginning April 30th.

Wondering what's been happening with the long talked about adaptation of the Stephen King tale 11/22/63? Well, quite a bit actually. Read on for the latest details on who's getting behind it and more.

Deadline reports that J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot is in negotiations for the rights to Stephen King’s bestselling 2011 novel 11/22/63. The transaction is being done through Warner Bros. TV, where Bad Robot is under a deal. The plan is to adapt the book as a TV series or miniseries, likely for cable.

11/22/63 centers on Jake, an unassuming divorced English teacher who stumbles upon a time portal that leads to 9/9/1958 and goes on a quest to try and prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which occurred on 11/22/1963. Bad Robot, which just received an early renewal for NBC’s "Revolution" earlier today, had been looking to expand its TV business to cable. In addition to "Revolution," the company has CBS drama "Person Of Interest" also renewed for next season.

The deal for 11/22/63 comes on the heels of CBS’ green light for a drama series based on King’s novel "Under The Dome," which will air this summer.

Hands down the best thing about NBC's failed "Mockingbird Lane" was Eddie Izzard so we're pretty stoked to see him pop up in next week's episode of "Hannibal" and also to hear he's attached to a new take on "Jekyll and Hyde."

Per Variety, Brit drama producer Tony Wood has pacted with Cineflix Studios to launch Buccaneer Media, which will produce scripted programming for broadcasters worldwide; and UK-based Buccaneer has already inked a development deal with Impact Film and TV that includes a fresh take on “Jekyll and Hyde” starring Izzard.

“Our ambition is to build a globally focused company producing everything from family entertainment to high quality drama and structured reality rooted in the social media landscape,” said Wood. “Forming this partnership with Cineflix Studios will mean I can draw on their expertise and experience in producing for U.S. and Canadian networks while retaining the creativity and independence to achieve my ambition for Buccaneer.”

Peter Smith, CEO of Cineflix Studios and board director at Buccaneer, added: “Cineflix Studios is building a successful model of sustained growth through strategic partnerships with creative individuals and companies worldwide. We’re delighted to be working with Buccaneer and supporting Tony’s ambition to create more of the type of innovative, successful brands for which he’s well known.”

Some quick news to kick-start your Friday evening as word of a tale of science gone awry has hit the wire. Being that awry science is our favorite type of science, we figured it would definitely be worth a mention. Read on for details.

According to THR microbudget horror maven Jason Blum and Fast and Furious franchise writer Chris Morgan are teaming up for a low-budget sci-fi movie project.

The duo will produce the as of yet untitled project and have hired actor-turned-scribe Christopher Denham, who played one of the Canadian Embassy houseguests in the 2012 best picture Oscar winner Argo, to write the script.

Plot details are being kept secret, but broadly, the story centers on a group of students who invent a new technology with ramifications that go far beyond their control.

Last year a director named L. Gustavo Cooper submitted his short film Velvet Road to us for review. Suffice to say he blew our doors off. And now he's sent over the early word on a feature film he has in the works entitled Copiii: The 1st Entry. Fabulous!

Cooper proved to us he's the real deal with Velvet Road (review here), and we can't wait to see what he's got in store for us with Copiii: The 1st Entry. Dig the first still and some poster art Gustavo released to us below, and prepare yourself for the film's teaser trailer, which you will be able to see exclusively here at Dread Central on May 1st.

For more visit the official Copiii: The 1st Entry website and "like"Copiii: The 1st Entry on Facebook.

Synopsis
From the creators of the award-winning short Velvet Road, Copiii: The 1st Entry is a film based on Romanian folklore that dates back to the 1500s. It was used by parents as a way to keep children from sneaking out or acting up. The story itself is about a gypsy woman named Alina Patkavior, who was the victim of a brutal rape. The act drove her insane, forcing her to attempt to take her own life. When the woman was ready to commit suicide, a vengeance demon appeared. The demon told her that he would wipe away her pain by giving these men the truly horrible fate they deserved. In return, he would return to claim her child after one year. A year later, Alina had grown to love and care for the child. When the vengeance demon returned to claim her child's life, she double-crossed him by refusing to turn the child over. The demon cursed Alina and her people, making it impossible for them to bear children. The group of gypsies came to be known as Copiii Pierdere, meaning 'the loss of a child' or 'lost children' in Romanian.

When Alina's child became a man and married, he wanted desperately to be a father. The man summoned the same demon that his mother betrayed in an attempt to make amends and lift the curse. The demon told him that while he would not lift the curse, there was a way he could still raise children of his own. The only way he or any member of the Copiii Pierdere could have children was to shed blood in the demon's name, in the form of a cursed ritual. This ritual was named Din Burta de Sarpe, Romanian for 'belly of a snake.' The first time the man performed the ritual, he was horrified to find that it drove a loving couple of villagers insane to the point of death, leaving their unborn child unharmed beside their corpses. Disgusted as he was at his own actions, he took the infant and raised it as his own and passed this gruesome act through his family's bloodline. This year will be the 500-year anniversary of the creation of Copiii Pierdere and the Din Burta de Sarpe. Some believe that their power is growing stronger because of this occasion.

Spring Bonanza Campaign Details

If you’re going to make a movie about a vigilante seeking Rolling Vengeance against the rednecks that murdered his family and raped his girlfriend by running them over with a custom-built monster truck, you’d better have a hard drinkin’ theme song like “Coming Up on You” to serenade the slaughter.

Rolling Vengeance is like Death Wish except instead of taking out punks with a snub-nosed revolver, the instrument of vengeance is a flame-shooting, drill-mounted, 8-ton monster truck that looks more like something that would have been more at home in a Mad Max movie than your typical monster truck rally.

An odd movie from 1987 in that the crimes committed by the villainous clan of rednecks led by Ned Beatty are rather heinous and treated fairly seriously even as they’re portrayed as dimwitted comedy figures straight out of “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Beatty’s performance could be positively Boss Hogg-ian. That weird dichotomy of serious revenge thriller and bumbling redneck smash & crash humor helps make Rolling Vengeance a cult film just waiting to be rediscovered. Olive Films, Shout Factory, I’m looking at you!

When it comes time for young truck driver Don Michael Paul to scour the local scrap yard for the parts needed to build his Frankenstein’s monster truck, a montage song of sorrowful grit kicks in that sounds like it escaped from the soundtrack of a Reagan era Sylvester Stallone flick. Performed by Anthony Della Reese, who sounds like Bob Seger by way of Glenn Danzig, “Coming Up on You” is the perfect song for the guy stumbling out of a bar at 2AM after having too many beers and having given way too much thought to all the people in the world he feels have wronged him. You feel like you need a shot of whiskey after listening to this song.

To the best of my knowledge “Coming Up on You” has never been released in any form except as the song heard during this montage from Rolling Vengeance. So be it. There are far worse ways for your music to be immortalized. Talk about a monster jam.

C2E2 is in full swing, and first out of the gate with big announcements is Dark Horse with three new items on the way, including a re-teaming of Mike Mignola and artist Duncan Fegredo for Hellboy: The Midnight Circus.

The 2013 Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) began yesterday, April 26th, and runs through Sunday, the 28th, in the West Building at McCormick Place located at 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, Illinois. For more info visit C2E2.com.

From the Dark Horse Press Releases:

HELLBOY: THE MIDNIGHT CIRCUS
Following up on a collaboration which spanned multiple series, leading up to Mike Mignola’s return to both writing and drawing his beloved demon, artist Duncan Fegredo returns to tell a story about a young Hellboy’s first brush with hell. In this beautifully drawn fifty-six-page graphic novel, a young Hellboy runs away from the B.P.R.D., only to stumble upon a weird and fantastical circus and the few demons from hell who inhabit it.

“This one owes a lot to Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes (pretty much my favorite circus story of all time), but even more to Pinocchio—especially all the spooky, disturbing bits Disney left out. And the work Duncan is doing here is just flat-out amazing,” said Mike Mignola.

“Growing up is tough enough, even when you don’t know the weight of the world rests on the future of your yet-diminutive shoulders. Mike has woven a tale of coming of age for the young Hellboy made all the more poignant for knowing his future. Wonderful, magical, terrifying, this is epic Hellboy on a smaller stage,” Duncan Fegredo added.

Hellboy: The Midnight Circus arrives in a beautiful hardcover format similar to the previously released Hellboy: House of the Living Dead (created in collaboration with legendary artist Richard Corben in 2011). This new tale arrives on shelves on October 23, carrying a retail price of $14.99.

ELFQUEST: THE FINAL QUEST
For generations, the Wolfriders sought a safe haven. Now, in the Palace of the High Ones, they have found it. But with security, the elves lose the skills that made them superb survivors in a harsh world. Elfquest: The Final Quest poses dire questions: Who stays? Who goes back to the forest? And what grim price will the Wolfriders pay?

“Dark Horse is a company I’ve admired ever since it sprang on the scene in the 1980s. Somehow, as large as they’ve grown, they’ve retained an independent spirit that Richard and I totally identify with. The quality of their offerings is legendary, and I’m extremely happy that Elfquest is part of their lineup,” said Elfquest cocreator Wendy Pini.

“Mike Richardson and Dark Horse come from the same publishing DNA as our own company, Warp Graphics, and he retains that gut-deep love of getting comics out into the world. We’re jazzed at all the plans, both traditional and new, they have for Elfquest,” added Elfquest editor and co-creator Richard Pini.

“I’ve known Richard from our very first year and read Elfquest from its inception. I’ve also pursued him and Wendy for nearly as long as Dark Horse has existed. Elfquest has been a lifetime project for Wendy, and it is one of comics’ great epics. I am extremely proud to bring their wonderful book to Dark Horse and particularly excited to see what is in store for us over the next three years,” Dark Horse President Mike Richardson continued.

In celebration of the thirty-fifth anniversary of Wendy and Richard Pini’s cult comics classic, Dark Horse proudly welcomes the Wolfriders, the Sun Folk, the Gliders, the Go-Backs, and the High Ones to its own rich history. The first release will be the prologue to an all-new fantasy epic, Elfquest: The Final Quest, arriving in the fall of 2013. Following that, Dark Horse will release this new story alongside all-new editions of the previously published material from this best-loved series. Look for more details shortly!

POWERS FIGURES LINE
Dark Horse Deluxe, an imprint of Dark Horse Comics, has licensed rights to create figures based on Powers, a long-running creator-owned series of comics and graphic novels by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Avon Oeming. Projects include a limited-edition statue of Retro Girl, a central figure in the first Powers story arc, and a boxed set of vinyl figures of the series’ ongoing principal characters.

Combining the genres of superhero fantasy, crime noir, and police procedural, Powers follows the lives and cases of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, assigned to investigate cases involving people with superhuman abilities, who are referred to as “powers.”

“We have been very particular about merchandising Powers over the years because I wanted to make sure it was the highest-quality merchandise we could offer,” said Brian Michael Bendis. “I am a giant fan of Dark Horse and the care they give their merchandising. I am very excited about this partnership.”

“We feel that Powers is one of the best graphic-story treatments of the modern era,” Dark Horse Product Development Vice President David Scroggy remarked. “We are delighted to bring these characters forward. Brian Bendis is a master of story construction and dialogue, making him one of today’s most widely read comics writers, and Michael Oeming’s unique art style is one of the most individual in the field. Capturing their creative vision is a challenge we appreciate, and we couldn’t be more excited to work directly with these two talents in making that happen.”

The Retro Girl statue will be sculpted by Tony Cipriano, who has created many popular superhero-themed collectible statues for a variety of companies. Michael Avon Oeming, working in concert with Bendis and Dark Horse, created special art for the statue, which will be used as control art during sculpting. The statue will capture the stylized nature of the graphic art, while anchoring the figure in realism. “To see your work translated into sculpture is always scary, but I’m very excited to be working with the amazing Tony,” Oeming stated.

Dark Horse also plans a boxed set of four- to-five-inch vinyl figures, which will include protagonists Walker and Pilgrim as centerpieces of the ensemble.

Both projects are slated for release in the fourth quarter of 2013. The prototypes will be shown to the trade and the public for the first time as part of the product display in the Dark Horse booth at San Diego Comic-Con in July. Retail prices and edition sizes are to be determined.

One-sheet numero tres has made its way online for the indie flick Wrath of the Crows, and we have every pixel of it right here for ya! See? No need to get your feathers all ruffled. Dig it!

Coming this fall, the flick stars Tiffany Shepis, Debbie Rochon, Tara Cardinal, and Domiziano Arcangeli. We'll have lots more on this one soon.

Synopsis
In a dirty and narrow jail, Larry (Domiziano Arcangeli), Deborah (Debbie Rochon), Hugo (Brian Fortune), Hernest (John Game), and Liza (Tara Cardinal), the prisoners, are obliged to suffer injustices from the guards and from their chief, the officer. Above all of them is the judge. Nobody ever sees him, but he is the one that sets the rules, and he's feared by inmates and guards alike. The prisoners know how to behave and what are the rules to be respected, but they don't remember anything of their former life outside the walls of the fortress of their prison.

The prisoners' sole memory, slowly emerging during the story, is the Great Evil that led them to the fortress. And the long, long time they have been imprisoned in it. Suddenly a new prisoner makes an out from nothing-like appearance: PRINCESS (Tiffany Shepis). She is a beautiful lady, dressed only in a crow feathers coat, shining and sensual. Her arrival causes curiosity, envy, suspicion, and a deep sexual agitation.

In a very short time Princess reveals her dark and supernatural nature: She can move objects with the power of her mind and is extremely strong. As Liza soon discovers, escape is just a dream for all of the prisoners. The rude nightmarish projected images they can see outside the windows of their cells make them give up thoughts of escape. But you can't escape from yourself or your past.

After execution, Deborah and Liza find themselves disoriented, soulless, and empty in the Lost Souls Prison, where they meet an old blind man named Charlie (Gerry Shanahan), "The Soulkeeper". The souls are dark bodies, sealed into inviolable cells. But Deborah manages to reunite with her soul and then attacks the old man in order to free Liza.

The two of them find an exit, but escape is everything but easy. Soon they realize that the whole fortress, outside and inside, is just a terrifying mirror game where reality is confused with illusion and nightmares become true, throwing the two girls in an endless vortex of terror and madness.

We're just a day away from the season finale of "The Following" (look for our exclusive interview with Executive Producer Marcos Siega Monday morning), and to get you ready for "The Final Chapter," we have a new clip in which Emma has Ryan right where she wants him.
