Police Urge 'LEAVE THE WOMAN IN BLACK ALONE!'

Police Urge 'LEAVE THE WOMAN IN BLACK ALONE!'File this one under "How the Hell Is This News?" You know, no one understands the allure of a mysterious woman in black more than I do, but people in Winchester, Virginia, are taking this bit of not-so-paranormal catnip to a much higher level.

Winchester residents have come across a mysterious woman dressed in black, known now as "The Woman in Black," walking about their town, and they've gone so far as to track her appearances and even created an official Woman in Black Facebook Sighting Page to keep tabs on her for... well... who knows why.

Even weirder, The Woman in Black's story made the local news.

PIX11 reports that the mysterious woman has been spotted wearing all black and traveling on foot with black luggage through several states, but now police are asking the public to leave her alone.

The woman, identified as 50-year-old Elizabeth Poles, caught the attention of several residents of the Virginia town, prompting numerous calls to the police department and dozens of people gathering to take a closer look at her.

Why? Just why? Here's an idea! How about you all leave the poor woman alone and let her do her thing... or better yet, instead of gawking at her like an 11-year-old idiot trying to invent an urban legend, why not lend her a helping hand? What the fuck is wrong with people?!?!

In other news, DC staffer Debi Moore had no comment nor will she tell me where she's been going with our luggage. Stay tuned.

It is the most social movie on TV ever and was more social than any episode of "Game of Thrones,""The Bachelorette," or "Survivor."

In addition to the social media storm, Sharknado 2 soared 183 percent among total viewers, 190 percent among Adults 18-49, and 185 percent among Adults 25-54 compared to the first Sharknado movie premiere on July 11, 2013.

Full Moon Entertainment and Action Lab Comics Join Forces for Puppet Master Comic Series

Full Moon Entertainment and Action Lab Comics Join Forces for Puppet Master Comic SeriesOne of the cooler pieces of news to come out of Comic-Con was the announcement by Charles Band of Full Moon Entertainment and Brian Seaton of Action Lab Comics about their partnership to create a comic book series based on the Puppet Master saga.

That's news hotter than Torch's right hand!

The Puppet Master comic series will be written and edited by Shawn Gabborin, famed for his work on Snowed In and Fracture. The artwork will be done by Michael DaSacco.

You can watch the official Comic-Con announcement in the video below.

You may remember Puppet Master making a brief, six-issue foray into the comic world many full moons ago in 1990, but this new partnership will allow Charles Band to bring Blade and all his fellow nightmarish brethren back to the shelves of your favorite comic shop in 2015.

And for those of you using Full Moon Streaming, be sure to check out Herschell Gordon Lewis' 1970 movie The Wizard of Gore, which will be available on August 4. The trailer for that classic romp is below as well. And in the upcoming weeks keep an eye out for Lewis' 1967 film The Gruesome Twosome.

Puppet Master Synopsis
Puppet Master is the story Andre Toulon, an elderly puppet-maker who discovers an ancient Egyptian potion and uses it to bring his creations to life. At the height of World War II, Andre fled to America, pursued by Nazis. In a last ditch effort to protect his secrets, the master packs the dolls away and takes his own life. Years later a rogue psychic revives the dolls, leaving his associates to face off against the monstrous marionettes. Decades (and a handful of "masters") later, the puppets are still raising hell in their own unique way.

Alex Kurtzman Ready to Wrap Up The MummyJust a day after announcing that Alex Kurtzman is now at the helm of The Mummy, we have a release date to share with you cats. Look for the latest reboot to unwrap in theatres on June 24, 2016.

Kurtzman is in final negotiations to direct Universal’s reboot of The Mummy. Kurtzman, who with former writing partner Robert Orci wrote some of the biggest franchise players in the last decade, is already producing the movie with Chris Morgan.

Kurtzman and Morgan are weaving together a cinematic universe for Universal based on its movie monsters properties, and The Mummy is due to be one of the first one out of the gate, setting the tone and stage for the rest of the universe.

Plot details are still under wraps, but it was previously indicated that the new Mummy is set in the present and is not a horror play but rather an action-adventure tentpole with horror elements. It will also feature new characters and not rehash previous incarnations.

Jon Spaihts worked on the script, as did Kurtzman and Orci. Sean Daniel is also a producer on the project. Bobby Cohen is exec producer.

    These new additions round out a growing lineup of superstar participants and programming for New York Super Week that kicks off with "StarTalk Live!" hosted by Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson at the Hammerstein Ballroom. The week-long festival’s events demonstrate the breadth of international, national, and local pop culture, including live recordings of Slate's "Hang Up & Listen" podcast, "The Big Quiz Thing,""Sonic Boom" from SEGA, a "Doctor Who" Trivia and Costume Contest, Nickelodeon "Nostalgia Nite," eSports competitions, and more.

    “The demand has never been higher for New York Comic Con, and we’re glad that we can provide more tickets to fans to give them access to the show as well as all the activities happening during New York Super Week,” said Lance Fensterman, Global Senior Vice President of ReedPOP. “New York Super Week is the true evolution of the New York Comic Con experience; the city will be buzzing as the spirit of pop culture sweeps its way through the Big Apple. This lineup has been laid out with the sole goal of entertaining the fans, and we have a lot more surprises in store.”

    New York Super Week will take place October 3rd-12th, leading into the East Coast’s biggest and most exciting convention – New York Comic Con. The New York Super Week card will offer fans access to dozens of special offers including drink specials at venues and bars, discounts to citywide tours, and in-store merchandise discounts at retailers including Midtown Comics and Discovery Times Square.

    Additional details about New York Super Week events, guests, and sponsors will be revealed in the coming weeks. Please note: The New York Super Week Card is NOT a New York Comic Con ticket or a ticket to any New York Super Week ticketed events — those must be purchased separately.

    --House of the Horsemen, an approximately 15-minute experience sending guests face-to-face with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, embodying Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death.
    --Seven Sins Sideshow, a maze where the most depraved and deadly lurk from flesh and furniture melting into one, a human pig-machine vomiting riches from its muzzle, to even a race of carnivorous celestial entities thriving on the fat from human hosts.
    --The Purgatory main stage will be reintroduced as Theatre Macabre, where the audience members become the stars. This audience participation, interactive theatre features famous scenes from iconic horror films such as The Lost Boys, The Exorcist, Carrie, Psycho, and more.

    Soundtracks for Hannibal Seasons 1 and 2 Heading our Way from Lakeshore Records

    Soundtracks for Hannibal Seasons 1 and 2 Heading our Way from Lakeshore RecordsFew current TV shows are as cinematic as NBC's "Hannibal," and that includes the stellar music that accompanies each episode. If you're a fan of the series who's looking to add to your CD collection, then read on for some very cool news!

    From the Press Release:
    Lakeshore Records will release four volumes of music from the hit NBC television series HANNIBAL, composed by Brian Reitzell (Lost in Translation, "Boss").

    The HANNIBAL SEASON ONE Volumes 1 & 2 soundtrack will be available digitally on August 5th and on CD September 2nd. The HANNIBAL SEASON TWO Volumes 1 & 2 Original TV Soundtracks will be available digitally on September 2nd and on CD September 23rd.

    “Visually it’s so artfully done and quite fantastical so I see it like an opera staging; otherwise, I might be more disturbed,” said Reitzell of HANNIBAL. “Listening to the music alone is scarier than in the context of the show.”

    One of the most memorable instruments from the first season of the show is a bullroarer. Reitzell describes it as “an aboriginal instrument. Every continent on Earth has a form of bullroarer — it’s the oldest instrument known to man.” The one he uses, he got from eBay for $5. The instrument is spun around your head and creates a low hum that has movement in space and not just sound. It was recorded in surround sound for the series. “So when you listen to it, it spins around your head, and it’s really powerful.”

    Over the last decade and a half, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, and music supervisor Brian Reitzell has been on a mission to further elevate the layer that music adds to a film's life. He has created his own unique method of scoring films, drawing equally from his experience as a recording and touring musician with bands such as Redd Kross and Air and his massive knowledge of recorded music.

    Acting as both music supervisor and composer, he often blurs the lines between score, source music, and sound design. His vision is to create a seamless landscape of songs, score, and found music for each soundtrack. Brian’s explorations of new sounds add unique character to visual images. He often has instruments custom built or even invented for individual film scores and wholeheartedly embraces the Brian Eno philosophy of the recording studio as his instrument. Brian has thrived on collaborations with musicians from outside the Hollywood film composer network and has worked with some of today’s most acclaimed musical artists including Air, Richard James (Aphex Twin), Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine), Elliott Smith, Britt Daniel (Spoon), Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Explosions In The Sky, Fever Ray, Robert Plant, Daniel Lopatin, and Ensemble Matheus.

    One of the most fascinating literary characters comes to life on television for the first time: psychiatrist-turned-serial-killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter. In this drama we see where his incredible story begins. “Hannibal,” based on the characters from Thomas Harris’ classic novels, is from Gaumont International Television in association with Sony Pictures Television Networks and airs on NBC in the U.S. The series was developed for television by Bryan Fuller, who also serves as showrunner and executive producer.

    The Hannibal Lecter character is known as a gourmet chef with a penchant for using unusual ingrediants. Episodes from the first season were named after elements in French cuisine and the second season from Japanese haute cuisine. “Scoring is very similar to cooking,” explained Reitzell, “except with music you can throw all the spices into the pot and then take them out one by one to see what flavors arise out of uncommon combinations. If you put too much white pepper in your sauce, it’s very hard to take it out, but with Protools you just delete the white pepper.”

    You can check out the artwork for Season One Volumes 1 & 2 below; Season Two's hasn't been released yet. All four volumes are available for pre-order now.

    Season 3 of "Hannibal" will air in the spring of 2015. Look for lots more soon!

    Dabble in the Dark Arts with this New Clip from Sleepy Hollow Season 2; Clancy Brown Confirmed to ReturnA clip from "Sleepy Hollow" Season 2 shown at the recently concluded San Diego Comic-Con has finally arrived online, and you can see it here. Along with that, we have news of a very popular cast member's return.

    In the clip (from an undisclosed episode of the expanded 18-episode Season 2), Abbie and Ichabod use Headless' skull to raise "The Kindred," a powerful entity they hope will be helpful in their battle to save Katrina and avert the apocalypse.

    As for that returning cast member, HuffPost TV learned that fan favorite Clancy Brown will indeed appear as Sheriff Corbin in the sixth episode of the season, which is titled "And the Abyss Gazes Back."

    "Sleepy Hollow" focuses on a resurrected Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), who’s pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to America’s founding fathers. Along for the wild ride is a modern-day cop, Lt. Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie).

    Orlando Jones, Katia Winter, and John Noble return, and joining the show this coming season are Timothy Busfield as Benjamin Franklin; Sakina Jaffrey as Sheriff Reyes, filling in for the incarcerated Frank Irving (Jones); and Matt Barr as Nick Hawley, an arms dealer who gets drawn into Ichabod and Abbie's work.

    The second season of "Sleepy Hollow" kicks off on September 22nd. If you're still not quite caught up on Season 1, the Blu-ray and DVD arrive on September 16th.
