The Seen and the Unseen - On a Break From Snooki The Jersey Devil Hides Out in Oklahoma

The Seen and the Unseen - On a Break From Snooki The Jersey Devil Hides Out in OklahomaThe Jersey Devil is one of the scariest American paranormal tales. The Seen and The Unseen drove through the Pine Barrens of Jersey, the Devil’s supposed hangout, last summer; and let us tell you, it lives up to its creepy reputation.

Imagine our surprise when we see this article from The Examiner, telling us the Jersey Devil was spotted in Oklahoma.

Turns out, the headline is just a TAD misleading. The photograph (shown here) is of a hairless creature climbing over a fence. It showed up on Reddit and the conversation exploded. People began to speculate it was a picture of the Jersey Devil. Further investigation showed the picture is actually a hairless squirrel in Oklahoma.

Suspicious, the Crack Dread Central News Department (trademark pending) contacted the press agent for The Jersey Devil. The agent released this statement: “The investigation of this photo showed it was a hairless squirrel. The Jersey Devil would never leave his beloved state. He and Snooki are just as in love as the first day they met when they both helped clean up Seaside Heights after the storm. There is no truth to the rumor of their breakup.

The agent refused to address rumors of the Jersey Devil having a thing for The Mothman. “He is straight,” the agent said.

Told in the “found footage” style, Evan looks for answers by filming his sister’s experience. The trio embark upon a trip to the mountains to escape the attention of the police and prying neighbors.

A Trinity of New Stills for After Dark's Children of Sorrow- Bill Oberst JrHere at Dread Central we've been singing the praises of actor and horror enthusiast Bill Oberst, Jr., for some time now, and it's great to see the rest of the world catching on. This dude knows how to do spooky, and that's the order of the day when it comes to these new stills from Children of Sorrow!

From the Press Release
After Dark Films proudly announces the fourth film in its After Dark Originals 2 series (ADO2), CHILDREN OF SORROW. A film that delivers a petrifying look into a cult psyche, CHILDREN OF SORROW is directed by Jourdan McClure (Rogue River, Die Maniacs Die!), written by Ryan Finnerty (Rogue River, Smosh), and stars Bill Oberst, Jr. (Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, Take this Lollipop) and Hannah Levien (The Palace Players).

"We are so excited to welcome Jourdan McClure into the After Dark Family. He's an incredible talent. Children of Sorrow is such a thought-provoking and disturbing film. It sparked many debates and was the cause of endless sleepless nights." -Stephanie Caleb, EVP Creative Affairs

Children of Sorrow

Synopsis:
Simon Leach is a very, very sick man. Thriving on despair, pain, and panic, he unites a group of broken and desperate people in the middle of the desert. He showers them with the love and affection they're so desperate for, but Simon has a much greater plan for his followers. "Belongingness" can be a terrifying subject, even more so when acceptance is disingenuous. Children of Sorrow is the nightmare version of that. A young woman embeds herself in a cult looking for answers to her sister's disappearance, only to find a dark secret within the cult and an even darker secret within herself.

First UK TV Spot Found in A Field in England

First UK TV Spot Found in A Field in EnglandThe first UK TV spot for director Ben Wheatley's latest film, A Field in England has been released, and we have it for you right here in all of its black and white spooky glory! Check it out, and look for more on this one really soon!

From the Press Release
Drafthouse Films, the film distribution arm of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, announced the acquisition of North American rights to original horror film A Field in England. This is the fourth feature film from writer/director Ben Wheatley, whose credits include the highly acclaimed tour-de-force thriller Kill List, the Edgar Wright-produced 2012 Cannes Film Festival selection Sightseers, and a segment in anthology horror film The ABCs of Death. Billed as "a psychedelic trip into magic and madness," A Field in England follows a group of English Civil War soldiers in the 17th century who are captured by an alchemist and led into a vast mushroom field, where they fall victim to violent and nightmarish forces. A theatrical and VOD release is planned for 2013.

With a new feature, the 8-figure-budgeted sci-fi/action epic Freak Shift, currently in pre-production, Wheatley and producers Claire Jones & Andy Starke assembled A Field in England with financing via Film4's talent and ideas arm Film4.0 headed up by Anna Higgs. The film stars Reece Shearsmith ("The League of Gentlemen") and Kill List's Michael Smiley and features Julian Barrett ("The Mighty Boosh") in a small role.

Wheatley's work has been lauded by both critics and moviegoers, placing him at the forefront of a new wave in contemporary cinema emerging from the festival circuit dubbed "art-house horror." Chris Hewitt of Empire Magazine has proclaimed, "In only three years, Ben Wheatley has gone from unknown to one of the UK's most exciting, hilarious and most violently disturbing filmmakers."

"When we world-premiered Ben's debut feature Down Terrace at Fantastic Fest in 2009, he deservedly won top prize, the AMD Next Wave award. We knew we were witnessing the debut of a major talent," says Fantastic Fest Founder and Drafthouse Films CEO Tim League, "Ben represents the ideal filmmaker we love to support at Drafthouse Films and fully embodies our unique brand - a visionary who compounds genre themes and artfully unusual sensibilities. We are incredibly honored to be working with him to release A Field In England."

"I'm very excited to be working with Drafthouse on A Field in England. They are a great company who have released some groundbreaking films over the last few years. I went to Fantastic Fest in 2009 wanting to visit a cinema I'd read about for years (and to buy up as many Mondo posters as I was allowed to take on the plane); I came away with the start of a career. Drafthouse is a name that will always be special to me, and I'm really happy to be working side by side with them," says Wheatley.

Anna Higgs from Film 4.0 says, "One of the central strands of Film4.0 is to work with directors and producers in new and agile ways, so it's fitting that we can work with Ben, who is one of the industry's most original and exciting filmmakers. A Field in England is a brilliantly compelling story that builds on Ben's innovative work to date; I'm excited to be working with him and Rook Films to forge new paths across development, production, and distribution. So it's of course a brilliant fit that we're working with the always dynamic Drafthouse again, having released Four Lions with them in 2010."

Guillermo del Toro Talks More About Pacific Rim's Future

Guillermo del Toro Talks More About Pacific Rim's FutureSo Pacific Rim is poised and ready to become every fanboy's wet dream movie of the summer (we just cannot wait!), and director Guillermo del Toro had some interesting goodies to talk about in terms of the franchise's future.

"We’re been talking about the idea for [the sequel] and working on a pitch,” Del Toro tells Deadline. “And there will be a Mexican Jaeger! Having had two to three years pass from the first Pacific Rim to the second movie, we can also prepare a good video game, continue the graphic novel, and continue the mythology."

Legendary CEO Thomas Tull cautioned about getting too premature about sequel talk before the movie comes out. “We’d like to do it, but it’s up to the audience — ultimately we’ll have to see how it does,” Tull said.

Look for Pacific Rim, directed by Guillermo del Toro, in theatres July 12th of 2013. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Rinko Kikuchi, Max Martini, Rob Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., and Diego Klattenhoff star.

Synopsis
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes--a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)--who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Early Art for Godzilla, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Jurassic Park, and More!Some show floor photos from the ongoing Licensing Expo have hit the Interwebs featuring some banner art for Legendary Pictures' upcoming version of Godzilla along with goods from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Ghostbusters, Divergent, and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Coming Soon is the one we have to thank for the eye candy, the most curious of which is the Ghostbusters one touting the film's 30th anniversary. Could this be the first real indication that Ghostbusters III is indeed happening, or is it simply an ad celebrating the occasion? Only time will tell.

The rest of the art you see below has either been released before or recycled to mark the available rights to upcoming products based on each film. I don't know about you guys, but I personally cannot wait for my Divergent throwing knife replica, which also makes the ideal coat hook!

    Juan Antonio Bayona Heads to Showtime for Penny Dreadful

    Juan Antonio Bayona Heads to Showtime for Penny DreadfulJuan Antonio Bayona has made quite a name for himself with films like The Orphanage under his belt, and now the time has come to see what this incredibly capable filmmaker can do on the small screen, specifically for Showtime with "Penny Dreadful."

    From the Press Release
    Critically-acclaimed, award-winning Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona (The Impossible, The Orphanage) will helm the first two episodes in the eight-episode series order of the upcoming SHOWTIME drama "PENNY DREADFUL"– created, written and executive produced by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator) and executive produced by Oscar winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) and Neal Street's Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road, Call the Midwife). "PENNY DREADFUL," a psychosexual horror series, features some of literature’s most iconic figures and will begin production in London this fall.

    In "PENNY DREADFUL," some of literature’s most famously terrifying characters – including Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, Dorian Gray, and iconic figures from the novel Dracula – become embroiled in Victorian London. The series weaves together these classic horror origin stories as the characters grapple with their monstrous alienation.

    Synopsis
    Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville. Based on a true story described in the book House of Darkness, House of Light: The True Story by Andrea Perron, The Conjuring tells the horrifying tale of how world renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called upon to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.

    From New Line Cinema comes a feature film drawn from the case files of married demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Conjuring stars Academy Award nominee Vera Farmiga ("Bates Motel," Orphan) and Patrick Wilson (Hard Candy, Insidious) as the Warrens and Ron Livingston (HBO’s “Band of Brothers”) and Lili Taylor (Public Enemies) as Roger and Carolyn Perron, residents of the house.
