Late last year we told you about The New Deadwardians, a mini-series comic heading our way from Vertigo, and now we know when the first issue is being released along with info on three other new series Vertigo will be putting out during the month of March.

From the Press Release:
From fairy tales to UFOs to Voodoo Queens and the undead, there’s something for everyone!

FAIREST, March 7th: New York Times best-selling, award-winning writer Bill Willingham begins a FABLES spin-off series starring some of the fairest in the land. Balancing horror, humor, and adventure, each FAIREST storyline will explore the secret histories of one character from Sleeping Beauty to Rapunzel, Cinderella to The Snow Queen, Thumbelina to Snow White, and more.

The first six-issue arc follows the misadventures of Briar Rose after she is stolen away by the goblin army in FABLES #107. Fan-favorite artist Phil Jimenez (WONDER WOMAN, THE INVISIBLES) returns to Vertigo to pencil the opening storyline with inks by Andy Lanning and award-winning artist Adam Hughes (WONDER WOMAN, BATGIRL) on covers.

SAUCER COUNTRY, March 14th: A dark thriller that blends UFO lore and alien abduction with political intrigue, all set in the hauntingly beautiful Southwest written by Paul Cornell (DEMON KNIGHTS, ACTION COMICS, Doctor Who) with art by Ryan Kelly (NEW YORK FIVE, NORTHLANDERS).

Arcadia Alvarado, the Mexican-American Governor of New Mexico, dealing with immigration, budget cuts, and an alcoholic ex, is about to toss her hat into the ring as the Democratic candidate for President of the United States in the most volatile political climate ever. But when a nightmarish encounter leads her to believe she was "abducted by aliens," Arcadia has to become President in order to expose the truth—and maybe save the world.

DOMINIQUE LAVEAU: VOODOO CHILD, March 21st: Written by Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, former editor-in-chief of The Source magazine, award-winning author, journalist, and TV producer, with art by Milestone Media co-founder Denys Cowan (THE QUESTION) and John Floyd with covers by Rafael Grampá.

New Orleans is the most haunted city in America: a town of centuries-old ghosts and newly drowned spirits; where vampires, voodoo spirits, and loups-garous make their home. Ruling over all are the powerful Voodoo Queens, whose influence stretches into politics, business, and crime as they maintain a delicate balance between the mortal and supernatural worlds.

But in the aftermath of Katrina, all that has changed, for someone or something has murdered the Voodoo Queen and most of her court. The number one suspect is Dominique Laveau, a grad student at Tulane who is about to discover that her entire life has been a lie. Now Dominique must forge alliances with those out to kill her while seeking to uncover the truth behind the royal murders, as she is ultimately forced to deal with a destiny she could never have imagined.

THE NEW DEADWARDIANS, March 28th: Brought to vivid life by fan-favorite writer Dan Abnett (RESURRECTION MAN, LEGION LOST) with art by newcomer INJ Culbard (AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS).

Set in post-Victorian England, nearly everyone in the upper class has voluntarily become a vampire to escape the lower classes, who are all zombies. Thrust into this mayhem is Chief Inspector George Suttle, a lonely detective who’s got the slowest beat in London: investigating murders in a world where everyone is already dead!

But when the body of a young aristocrat washes up on the banks of the Thames, Suttle’s quest for the truth will take him from the darkest sewers to the gleaming halls of power and reveal the rotten heart at the center of this strange world.

While she may have lacked a bit of bite domestically, Hammer's The Woman in Black (review here) has done extremely well in her homeland. Read on for some surprisingly good news.

From the Press Release
Hammer’s hit film The Woman in Black has broken records again after becoming the UK’s highest grossing British horror film since records began 20 years ago.

The film has now made more than many Hollywood productions shot in the UK with British talent such as The Others, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Interview with a Vampire as well as home-grown horrors such as Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later.

The film has scored a hat-trick at the top of the UK box office for distributor Momentum Pictures. Holding the number one slot in the UK for the last 3 weeks, it has taken a total of £14,598,813 from 457 screens (per screen average of £5,351).

The film’s UK success is echoed by a sensational North American performance for a British film, which now stands at more than $50 million after 25 days on release.

The Woman in Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe, is directed by James Watkins and adapted by Jane Goldman from the classic novel by Susan Hill. The film is a Hammer, Alliance Films, The UK Film Council presentation, in association with Cross Creek Pictures, and is a Talisman production in association with Exclusive Media. Producers are Richard Jackson, Simon Oakes, and Brian Oliver. Executive Producers are Guy East, Nigel Sinclair, Tobin Armbrust, Marc Schipper, Neil Dunn, Xavier Marchand, Roy Lee, and Tyler Thompson.

Simon Oakes, President & CEO of Hammer and Vice Chairman of Exclusive Media, commented: “The record-breaking success of The Woman in Black is an important achievement that affirms the re-birth of Hammer. We are continuing to develop exciting and intelligent genre films this year such as The Quiet Ones and Gaslight, both of which will shoot in the UK.”

Nigel Sinclair, CEO and Co-Chairman of Exclusive Media, Hammer’s parent company, added: “We are delighted that the film has performed so well in both the US and the UK. It is titles like The Woman in Black, as well as The Ides of March and Rush, that highlight Exclusive’s commitment to making quality films with top tier talent and international appeal.”

Xavier Marchand, President of Worldwide Distribution, Alliance Films, and Managing Director of Momentum Pictures, said: “The Woman in Black has been the number one film in the UK for the last 3 weeks and with close to $100m already at the worldwide box office shows how great British films can resonate not only here in the UK but also abroad. Congratulations to James Watkins, Daniel Radcliffe, Jane Goldman, and all involved in The Woman in Black.”

Oh, [REC] 3: Genesis. You're all that we want for Christmas and then some. Another trio of stills from the third film in the unlikely franchise are here, and as always we want more. Dig it!

Leticia Dolera (Spanish Movie, Semen, A Love Story, "White Glove") and Diego Martin (Three Meters Above the Sky, "There Is No One Alive") both star in [REC] 3: Genesis, which is scheduled to hit Spanish theatres on March 30th, 2012.

[REC] 3: Genesis Synopsis:
Koldo and Clara are about to celebrate the most important day of their lives: their wedding. Everything appears to be running smoothly, and the bride and groom and their families are enjoying a wonderful day--that is, until some of the guests start showing signs of a strange illness. Before they know what’s happening, the bride and groom find themselves in the middle of a hellish ordeal as an uncontrollable torrent of violence is unleashed on the wedding. Amidst the chaos Koldo and Clara become separated and begin a desperate search for one another. What started off as an idyllic day quickly descends into a nightmare of the worst kind...

If we had to pick our top 5 "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" characters of all time, there's little doubt that the evil and completely batshit nuts Drusilla would show up somewhere on that list. Now the actress who played her, Juliet Landau, is out to prove she still has some bite.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the mad vampire villainess Drusilla, who appeared in only 17 episodes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" during the show’s seven-season run, is back and in a big way! EW reports that Landau is currently writing a five-issue Drusilla comic book miniseries, part of Dark Horse Comics and "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon’s ongoing expansion of the Buffyverse in comic book form.

Due to launch in June, the first issue of the spin-off will pick up “literally a panel after” Drusilla’s final appearance in Issue No. 9 of the Angel & Faith comic series (out April 25). “I think you will get different sides of Drusilla than you have ever been seen before,” she adds, but her lips are sealed for any details on the story beyond that.

"Whatever happens ... don't stop filming!" If when confronted by a life or death situation someone actually says those words to us, we're knocking them out with the camera and running like hell. Of course that would never happen in the movies though. Speaking of which...

A new cinéma vérité chiller is on its way, and its makers are hoping that its found footage will find its way into your heart. Below you'll find three one-sheets for Loss of Life featuring some dangerous looking cats clowning around.

Not much else is know about the flick at this time, but we figured that we may as well dish out the eye candy anyway. Look for more soon.

Music is easily one of the key components in making a film an immersive ride. It dictates how we feel ... sadness, fright, suspense, it's all there, and now word has come regarding who'll be bringing the beats to Guillermo del Toro's beasts in Pacific Rim.

Del Toro revealed: "After many months we have finally closed the scoring with Ramin Djawadi - whose scores for 'Game of Thrones', 'Prison Break' and Iron Man are amongst my favorites in the last few years."

Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Rinko Kikuchi, Max Martini, Rob Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., and Diego Klattenhoff star.

Travis Beacham's script is set in 2025, the 12th year of a war against alien creatures who reside in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The story finds a group of humans banding together to create and pilot massive robots to fight the giant creatures threatening to destroy Earth.

Look for Pacific Rim in theaters May 10th, 2013.

In our continuing interview series with the "Ghost Adventures" crew in anticipation of the show's Season 6 premiere on March 9th, 2012, we sat down with Nick Groff to talk about the formation of the group, what scares him, and much more.

"I actually knew Aaron before, for a long time," says Groff of the very beginnings of his association with partners Zak Bagans and Aaron Goodwin. "I graduated from high school at Pelham High in New England and decided to take the big trip to Las Vegas because I got accepted to UNLV, University of Nevada Las Vegas, for film. I’m a huge film buff in general. To be honest, it was one of the only schools that actually accepted me because my SATs sucked." *laughs*

Groff continues, "So here I am at UNLV and I’m taking this film class, and there’s this kid... he and I are the only ones still there at the end of this big conference where a movie producer was talking. At this point I was trying to shoot my own short films and was looking to get to know people. I asked the lecturer who I should talk to about shooting my short films and my scripted stuff, and he said, 'See that guy over there? Talk to him.' I turn around and there’s Aaron Goodwin standing there talking to another guy. Aaron actually snuck into that class as he didn’t even attend UNLV. *laughs* So we met up and became very good friends over the years."

"It wasn't about until 2004 that I met Zak. I was getting married to my long-time sweetheart from high school. I’m a very picky guy when it comes to music so as I was searching through websites, I came across Zak’s. He was DJ’ing at the time making some money. I called up his company and met up with him, and he became my wedding DJ. Me and my wife met up with Zak and we talked for a long time. We actually didn’t even get into the wedding stuff. We talked more or less about the paranormal and films and stuff including the projects I was working on at that time. It was really kind of funny how we clicked. I think you meet people in your life for a reason, and I think certain people come together spiritually. This was the start to our journey. The reason we were put on this earth, to do what we are doing now."

"One day I was sitting there in my little apartment and we started talking on the phone. He told me about a ghost experience he had in Detroit, Michigan. I basically said, 'Dude, I’ve been fascinated by the paranormal since I was a little kid.' I had an experience when I was about ten years old in Salem, New Hampshire in my old house. One day when I came home from school early, I walked upstairs and saw this shadow figure standing in the kitchen area behind this sliding glass door to the porch. It scared the living crap out of me! I ran out of the house, and that's where my parents found me once they got home."

"Prior to that I actually had a near death experience, too, when I was about eight years old," Nick says, reflecting on his past. "I was a very hyperactive kid. One day I was swinging from the branches of some tress over a cyclone fence and basically the limb broke and I fell and ripped open my whole arm almost to my artery by a half an inch. Good thing my mom was a nurse and a quick thinker. She was close enough to see me get up and then pass out and fall to the ground. She took off her shirt and wrapped my arm up and basically saved my life. They were able to stop the bleeding before I bled too much. I didn’t die obviously because I’m still here."

"I think those elements actually got me fascinated by the paranormal, and that’s when I was talking to Zak, fast forward in time to 2004. I’ve been fascinated by all the paranormal: UFOs, ghosts, and anything unexplainable. But I've never had that major experience to say, 'Wow, this is it. This is what’s going to open up my mind to something different than what we know as just death.' That’s when I basically grouped up with these two guys, and we became really good friends and decided to hit the roads of Nevada to hit up all of the haunted mining towns to search out some ghosts. Zak was very passionate because of his experience, but I was more or less a logical thinker wanting to see something with my own eyes. Could this kind of thing be captured on a little night vision video camera? We went out full throttle to see what we can come up with. We all came together and it spawned into 'Ghost Adventures'. We never thought that was gonna happen, a huge successful TV show phenomenon all across the world and a ton of people just representing us and who we are: GAC members, Ghost Adventures Crew members. Worldwide. It’s amazing."

"What a lot of people don’t understand is that we were never just cast in this show. Selected out of thousands of acting people or whatever. We’re not actors. We weren’t geared to go out and do this. None of us ever took acting classes. I took film because I have a passion for film. The good thing was that it came in handy later. It taught me how to push the little red button on the camcorder and make sure the camera is in focus. That’s really it. It’s kind of cool how we came together, it’s definitely a classic story. It’s genuine, it’s real. We are just down to earth guys. We are who we are. What you see is what you get when you’re watchin’ us on TV at your home."

Now that the group was all together, they set out to make their first documentary film, called Ghost Adventures. Call it fate, call it luck, but Nick, Zak, and Aaron got more than they bargained for on the road, capturing a full body apparition on tape.

"I was confused at first," says Groff of the first time he watched the footage. "Typically as a logical thinker you try to explain stuff that your brain can’t totally wrap things around. That’s unexplainable. When I set up that static night vision camera in The Old Washoe Club during the documentary, when Zak, Aaron, and myself went in there, I walked into this room and I’m using my digital recorder walking around asking questions like Aaron and Zak are on the upper floors, trying to communicate with anything that’s up there spiritually. I remember walking into that room, asking a question, and then leaving that room. And that was that. I was getting some very weird feelings, don’t get me wrong. It was very creepy walking around there by myself in complete darkness and not knowing what we were actually dealing with back then because we were still new to the paranormal."

"When we got home, I had tons and tons of tapes to go through. When I got to this one particular tape from that static night vision camera in the Washoe Club, I was like, 'What the hell was that, that just walked after me?! What is this? This can’t be possible.' I rewound it at least forty times before I picked up the phone and called Zak. I told him, 'Dude, you gotta come here and check this out. It’s freakin’ insane.' Zak came over and checked it out. We were absolutely blown away. This was like gold. Like finding the needle in a haystack. This was what 'Ghost Adventures' fed off of in the beginning to keep pushing us. Then we pursued other locations like Goldfield after that. That was kind of the fuel for our fire to be honest. It motivated us more than anything."

From then on the "Ghost Adventures" crew would begin assembling the building blocks of their investigation techniques, including separating from each other in the middle of some of the scariest places on Earth.

"I was the first one who suggested we split up," says Groff. "I said to the guys, 'I've got an idea. Let me go sit off by myself, see what happens. Let’s separate for a second. You guys go investigate, I’ll go off by myself. Put me in the dark and let’s see what happens.' The idea was that if there are any spirits present, we can limit the scenario to where there's no protection around us, and we were bound to capture something amazing. That’s what happened at the Washoe Club when the apparition followed me out, by myself. I’m always trying to think of ways to push the limits to capture evidence. Not in a stupid way or a jackass way, but more or less in an intelligent fashion."

"For instance when we did the abandoned psychiatric hospital in Essex County, New Jersey (Season 1, Episode 6), we were walking through these underground tunnels, and it's so freakin' creepy. One of the creepiest places I’ve ever been, that's for sure. After a while we came across the morgue, where the lockers are for dead bodies. Basically what happened was I said, 'Hey, if there’s ghosts in here, they have to be lying in this room.' This area was the last stop for tens of thousands of bodies. So I said to the Zak and Aaron, 'What happens if I get inside this thing and you guys go and investigate. Close the door. Put me in here. I’ll put a night vision camera on the outside in the hallway and on the inside. If there are any spirits, they are bound to have an effect on me or something around me and show themselves because I'm all alone. They won’t be intimidated.' That’s the type of crazy shit that I do, we all do - Zak, Aaron, and me - to push the limits."

Check back next week for more with Nick Groff.

Silk's co-stars are Kris Holden-Ried as Dyson, a shape-shifting Fae, homicide detective, and Bo’s love interest; Ksenia Solo as Kenzi, Bo’s human confidante and a street-smart survivor; Zoie Palmer as Lauren, a human doctor who competes for Bo’s heart; Rick Howland as Trick, the mysterious owner and bartender at The Dal Riata tavern with a secretive past that is yet to be unlocked; and K.C.
