Her life quickly spirals out of control as she gets pulled deeper into the darkest recesses of the internet. And eventually Elizabeth finds herself trapped in a twisted game in which she and her loved ones are targeted for the same grisly fate as the first victim.

With talk of resurrections, out-of-body experiences, and hauntings, TNT's "Proof" pilot has piqued our interest so we're continuing to keep an eye on it. Up today is some more casting news in the form of Terminator 2: Judgment Day's Joe Morton.

As we already knew, TNT's Kyra Sedgwick-produced "Proof" will star Jennifer Beals as Dr. Kathryn Russo, a skeptical, hard-science, brilliant female surgeon with a caustic edge who has been struggling with the devastating loss of her teenage son and a growing estrangement from her surviving daughter.

Dr. Russo is persuaded to investigate cases of reincarnation, out-of-body experiences, hauntings — all of it looking for verifiable proof to answer one of life’s greatest questions: Is death truly the end, or is there something else beyond?

Per TV Guide, Morton ("Scandal,""Eureka,""The Good Wife") will play Dr. Charles Russell, the serious, dry, and intimidating head of Kathryn's hospital, who is hard-pressed to control the maverick surgeon but appreciates her abilities and commitment.

"Proof" is written by Rob Bragin and directed by Alex Graves. Sedgwick ("The Closer") exec produces with Jill Littman, Tom Jacobson, Bragin, and Graves.

Terror has found a new home, and it's the Candy House. Here's the international trailer debut for the new film from Seed 2 director Marcel Walz, which is presented by Uwe Boll.

Candy House stars Annika Strauss (Seed 2, La Petite Mort 2), Alex Anasuya (Daimonion), Morad Azzaaoui, Martin Semmelrogge (The Boat), Selin Deveci, Manfred Münichsdorfer, and Stephanie Voit.

It's produced by Laser Paradise/Matador Film with cinematography by Stefan Svahn.

Synopsis:
Welcome to Candy House.

What started as a beautiful family reunion soon turns into a bloody nightmare. Who's going to survive the Candy House?

Enjoy a few stills along with the Candy House trailer and poster, and look for more soon!

With black comedy The Double arriving in the UK on April 4th from StudioCanal (it hits Stateside a month later from Magnolia), the first clip from the film has arrived. Check it out, and expect more soon!

The Double is directed by Richard Ayoade, who co-wrote the script with Avi Korine based on a Fyodor Dostoevsky novella.

It stars Jesse Eisenberg in a dual role along with Mia Wasikowska, Wallace Shawn, Yasmin Paige, Noah Taylor, James Fox, Cathy Moriarty, Chris O'Dowd, Sally Hawkins, Craig Roberts, and Paddy Considine.

For more info visit The Double on Facebook.

Synopsis:
Simon James is a ghost. Friends, family, and coworkers meet his every action with complete indifference. He grimly goes through the motions, hoping for recognition that never comes. All of this changes when James Simon arrives.

Physically, James and Simon are dead ringers. Yet, in temperament, James is everything Simon is not: personable, spontaneous, assertive, and desirable. When James begins to take over Simon’s life, he is forced to act.

Jesse Eisenberg’s fantastic double performance is bolstered by a cast of seasoned character actors who bring Simon James’ gloomy retro world to life. Directed with a deftly comic hand and assured visual technique by Richard Ayoade, The Double is a stylish black comedy with acerbic wit to spare.

The hairs on your arm will stand up. At the terror in each sip and in each sup. Will you partake of that last offered cup? Or disappear into the potter's ground? When the man comes around.

The Quiet Ones is written and directed by John Pogue (Quarantine 2) and stars Jared Harris ("Mad Men,"The Ward), Sam Claflin (Snow White and the Huntsman, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), Erin Richards ("Breaking In,""Being Human"), Olivia Cooke ("The Secret of Crickley Hall,""The Fuse"), and West End theatre actor Rory Fleck-Byrne.

It's produced by James Gay-Rees (Senna, Exit Through the Gift Shop), Exclusive Media’s Tobin Armbrust, and Simon Oakes along with Steven Chester Prince and Ben Holden in association with The Traveling Picture Show Company (TPSC).

Look for The Quiet Ones in UK theatres on April 10 and US theatres on April 25, 2014, from Lionsgate.

Synopsis:
The Quiet Ones (inspired by true events) tells the story of an unorthodox professor who uses controversial methods and leads his best students off the grid to take part in a dangerous experiment: to create a poltergeist. Based on the theory that paranormal activity is caused by human negative energy, the rogue scientists perform a series of tests on a young patient, pushing her to the edge of sanity. As frightening occurrences begin to take place with shocking and gruesome consequences, the group quickly realizes they have triggered a force more terrifying than they ever could have imagined.

Discuss "The Walking Dead" in the comments section below!

Exactly seven years ago, NYC auxiliary police officer Nicholas Pekearo and his partner, Yevgeniy Marshalik, were shot and killed in the line of duty. At the time Pekearo was just getting his footing as a novelist, and now his posthumously published The Wolfman is heading to the big screen.

Per Deadline, Macmillan Entertainment and Everest Entertainment Group are developing a feature film from The Wolfman, a novel written by Nicholas Pekearo in 2008 and published by Tor Books in 2009.

The story tells of a lost soul who happens to be a werewolf. He struggles with his affliction until he decides to focus on the bad guys who deserve it, including a serial killer preying on young girls.

Pekearo, a crime and comic book buff, was shot six times by the crazed gunman who also killed his partner. Both were unarmed. For more info on what transpired, check out this story in the New York Times from March 16, 2007.

Macmillan Entertainment is the film and TV arm of Macmillan Publishers. Its head, Brendan Deneen, and Everest Entertainment Group’s Sean Davis are working closely with Pekearo’s mother, Iola Latman, to shape the werewolf story for the screen. Davis also runs the management company The Phoenix Organization.

“I read The Wolfman shortly after its release and couldn’t get the character of Marlowe Higgins and the world Pekearo created out of my head,” Davis said. “This is not your typical werewolf piece, and I was amazed by how much new territory he uncovered in this first novel. I have high hopes for this as it seems there is now finally a market for pieces like this, seeing the success of brilliant limited series such as 'True Detective,' and audiences now have a hunger for out of the box anti-heroes. In talking with those around him while he was alive, it was Nicholas’ hope to see this turned into a series, whether it was film or television, taking a similar journey to the one Bruce Banner did in The Incredible Hulk. Having died a hero’s death trying to protect people while chasing down a madman while he was unarmed, I hope Nicholas’ voice as a writer finally gets the attention it deserves and the journey he started with Marlowe continues.”

The book's synopsis follows; look for more on the adaptation as it comes.

Synopsis:
Marlowe Higgins has had a hard life. Since being dishonorably discharged after a tour in Vietnam, he's been in and out of prison, moving from town to town, going wherever the wind takes him. He can’t stay in one place too long--every full moon he kills someone.

Marlowe Higgins is a werewolf. For years he struggled with his affliction, until he found a way to use this unfortunate curse for good--he only kills really bad people. Settling at last in the small town of Evelyn, Higgins works at a local restaurant and even has a friend, Daniel Pearce, one of Evelyn's two police detectives.

One night everything changes. It turns out Marlowe Higgins isn’t the only monster lurking in the area. A fiendish serial killer, known as the Rose Killer, is brutally murdering young girls all around the county. Higgins targets the killer as his next victim, but on the night of the full moon, things go drastically wrong...

Around these parts we love us some Casper Van Dien. We've had a soft spot for him since his days as Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers. We know the guy has the goods, and hopefully he gets a chance to stretch his legs a bit with the new feature June!

Variety reports that Van Dien and Addy Miller (“The Walking Dead”) have joined supernatural thriller June, shooting later the month in Louisiana.

Victoria Pratt, Eddie Jemison, Theodora Greece, and Lance Nichols have also been cast.

Kennedy Brice (“The Walking Dead”) stars as a 9-year-old orphan who shares her body with an ancient supernatural being whose mission is to destroy mankind to allow nature to prevail on earth.

L. Gustavo Cooper (Velvet Road) will direct from a script he co-wrote with Sharon Y. Cobb. Gregor Habsburg (Hellbenders), Jacquelyn Frisco (Tell-Tale), and Duane A. Sikes will produce with Raven Banner Entertainment partners Michael Paszt, James Fler, and Andrew T. Hunt.

Several rather creepy photos and a preview of next week's Episode 2.04 of "Hannibal," entitled "Takiawase," have arrived; and if you're curious as to just what the heck "Takiawase" means, we've already looked it up for you so read on!

We're not sure what it has to do with the episode, but according to Dictionary Central (how could we not source them with a name like that?), it's "a mixture of firm vegetable pieces... each cooked separately in separate pans until al dente, mixed with fried cubes of tofu and flavoured with a light soya sauce."

Knowing Dr. Lecter, we're going to assume he'll be frying up something other than tofu.

The official poster for Jim Jarmusch's vampire tale Only Lovers Left Alive (review) has been let out of the coffin, and we have every toothy pixel of it right here for you to chew on. Check it out!

Only Lovers Left Alive stars Tilda Swinton as Eve, a grungy but erudite vampire who's married to a forlorn vampire musician, Adam, played by Tom Hiddleston. Several-hundred-year-old Adam (of Biblical fame) has been living quite happily ever since being expelled from the Garden of Eden--that is, until the 21st century came along with its excesses and greed and pushed him into a full-flung existential crisis.

He cracks and orders a wooden bullet to kill himself.

Adam and Eve are not about blood-sucking and murder but are refined lovers of literature, science, music, and learning in general. When Eve's estranged sister (Mia Wasikowska) "drinks" Ian, a friend, to death, Eve tells her off, saying that in the 21st century people won't understand such barbarity. It's not like they can just dump the bodies in the Thames with the tuberculosis sufferers like in old times, she says. Now, in the 21st century, they get their blood from the transfusion section of a hospital. Alongside this, John Hurt plays a vampire Christopher Marlowe, who's still bitter that Shakespeare became more famous.

In the film vampires elegantly cover their mouths and have a strange ritual with gloves that goes unexplained, but at heart it's the story of Adam and Eve, who try to rekindle their love despite living in different places, he in Detroit and she in Tangiers. It is as touching as it is odd. The love story between immortal beings also raised philosophical questions for leading man Hiddleston, who said playing Adam was a "fascinating prospect"— a chance to break away from his more conventional superhero roles like Loki in Marvel Studios'Thor films. "The idea of exploring love in the context of immortality — is (it) a blessing because it recurs, and what does that do to your commitments?" he said.

It took Jarmusch seven years to find a backer, and he explains why: "I wanted to make a vampire love story... The reason it took so long was that no one wanted to give us the money. It's getting more and more and more difficult for films that are maybe a little unusual or not predictable or not satisfying the expectations of everybody — which is the beauty of cinema, discovering new films of all forms."

Look for it in theaters on April 11th

So, the Pope and a Cardinal are sitting together on a cross-country flight. The Pope is doing a crossword puzzle. He turns to the Cardinal and asks, “Do you know a four-letter word for ‘woman’ that ends in U-N-T?” The Cardinal unhesitatingly says, “Aunt.” The Pope blinks and replies, “Oh yes, of course. Do you have an eraser?”

While you may think that hoary old joke has nothing to do with horror, there actually is a connection – you see, the villain in the upcoming horror film Vitals loves crossword puzzles and he’s got a wicked, skewed sense of humor.

Kaliya, the brains behind the body-plundering organ-snatching ring of criminals, is played by Sachin Mehta. Mehta was in character dealing with uppity henchmen, an unconscious victim, and doing a crossword puzzle just before he sat down to talk with us. Here’s what he had to say.

Dread Central: How did you first hear about this role as the main villain?

Sachin Mehta: They contacted me. I was in a feature called The Advocate. It's a legal thriller and it just came out. I was a lawyer. Sort of a conniving evil lawyer and they thought that had sort of the same vibe for this villain. The publicity guy for the distribution company forwarded them [one of the producers of this movie] the trailer for it and based on that they thought I would make a good Kaliya.

DC: Tell us about the character for this villain. I’ve never seen a villain doing crossword puzzles right before he’s about to have someone eviscerated.

SM: [laughter] Right? I love him because he's not your traditional evil guy. He's very one-dimensional. He only sees things one way, you know? In a very selfish way.

DC: So he's a narcissist.

SM: He's a narcissist. He's greedy. I don't think he even knows how greedy he is. He wants money like a kid. You know? I think he's 8 years old and money for him is just little building blocks. And he kind of reacts... for him killing isn't a thing.

DC: It's a means to an end?

SM: It's a means to an end, but it's more just a burden that he has to do to get to where he wants to go.

DC: What's his M.O. for killing people?

SM: He needs to sell organs. He needs this thing to just keep churning. He needs people to keep coming into the sausage machine and money to be coming out of it and that's it. If that cycle stops, then he's in trouble because of course he's just part of a chain himself. He's under the gun working for somebody else.

DC: How did he get recruited for this unusual profession?

SM: What I like about the movie is that it leaves it almost like the Joker from "Batman." It's a little bit ambiguous how he got caught into it, but there is regret because he wasn't given options. He was basically told that if you do this thing for me, you will get money from it. And I think like a lot of characters in the movie, they make simple choices, but they actually have larger ramifications because they really are just plugging themselves into a large sausage factory.

DC: Of course when people think of organ harvesting, it's such an urban myth... Do you think that it's actually real? Have you heard of any instances or did you do any research to see if this is happening?

SM: I've heard of it happening but I've never heard of anybody actually being kidnapped. I've heard of somebody already in a coma, already in the hospital, maybe an operation happened, and this is in maybe in India or something. But I haven't heard of an operation like this. But I don't see why it doesn't exist.

DC: That's kind of the scare factor, right? That it's possible.

SM: Yeah, I think that's why it feels like that urban legend because it very well- it should be possible. It should be happening.

DC: Yeah, why not? [laughter] So tell me a little bit about the more horrific aspects of the film. Do you think it will be rated "R?" Will we be seeing a lot of blood and gore, or is it more about the suspense factor?

SM: In my opinion, I think it's more about the suspense factor. I do think that there is some gore in it, but I don't think it's anything… pornographic. And I don't think it's anything cartoonish.

DC: Would you say it's "Hostel-like”?

SM: I wouldn't call it a slasher film. It's just characters. What I like about the script is that all the characters- You get to watch each of them, the walls just keep pushing in on them and they just get less and less options as the movie goes on and that is not dependent on the gore, it's just dependent on the choices put in front of them. And the choices are dark and drastic, you know? Death and betrayal and loyalty, but I don't think the movie spends too much time on gore. Unless Mark [Morgenstern, the director] is planning on doing something I don't know of.

DC: How long have you been shooting so far?

SM: This is day 6.

DC: So it looks like our heroes have just been kidnapped, according to what I’ve seen being shot just now.

SM: They've been kidnapped. They're both on vacation. There's this couple, and they’re played by Charlene Amoia and Showerman. I call him Showerman. It’s Christopher Showerman. Their characters… They're out on vacation. I don't want to give too much away but they are a married couple and they have married couple problems and with that sort of basic setup they are then abducted while on vacation in Goa, India. It's foreign. It's beautiful but it's foreign. And whenever you're in some place foreign, it's scary.

DC: And they don't speak the language, so they've got that lack of communication aspect of it.

SM: Right. You're geographically displaced. Psychologically displaced. You know? And they're kidnapped. And one of the conceits in this is that they don't have access to help. They might have access to cell phones but they realize what's the point? We're in Goa, we don't speak the language. So that bridge is burned.

DC: You've been at it for 6 days… what's been the most fun or challenging moment that you've had to date, and then what are you looking forward to doing next?

SM: Well, one of the highlights for me personally was acting with Tim Russ. I grew up watching "Star Trek Voyager" and he's Lt. Tuvok and there he is in the flesh across from me. He was so cool and so wonderful and I got to act in a couple of scenes with him and that was a blast! The hardest scene in this movie… Jeez, it's probably going to be the one that's coming up right now.

DC: Yeah, that's very complex; all the blocking that needs to be done. I don't think people really realize how much goes into that.

SM: Plus my character, he's not a physical guy. He's probably the kind of guy that gets manicures and pedicures and you know doesn't want to get dirty and this is a scene where he probably has to get a little physical and that means my character needs to get physical which means I have to get physical which means it's going to be very, um, challenging.

DC: The five-letter word for that: YIKES.

SM: [laughter] Exactly!

Vitals comes to us from writer/director Marc Morgenstern. Christopher Showerman, Charlene Amoia, Sachin Metha, Tim Russ, and Claudia Wells co-star. In it Showerman stars as an unassuming electrician who wakes up in an abandoned motel room in a tub of ice with his kidney missing. It’s only a matter of time before he finds his wife in the adjacent room waiting to be the next victim to a horrible organ harvesting organization. Now they must use each other’s wits and skills to escape before their captors return and their dark secrets are revealed.
