The year starts off fast with horror. We here at for the dead travel fast are very excited about this and below are the top things we look forward to this year.

1. Daybreakers
   It’s about time we get a real vampire movie, with all the twilights and vampire apprentices out there we couldn’t be happier with Daybreakers. In this film, Ethan Hawke plays a vampire scientist in a world overpopulated by flesh hungry vampires.
2. Legion
   This movie just looks plain awesome. Legion is an Old Testament. A more wrathful God sends the Army of Heaven to protect a waitress in a small-town diner. We couldn’t be more excited to see this. Expect more information on the movie section soon.
3. Re-imagining of Nightmare on Elm Street
   With less than satisfactory remakes such as Halloween, and Friday the 13th, should we really remake this classic? Regardless of the past failures its still going to happen. This looks different although the original Freddy, Jackie Earle Haley, isn’t going to be in this one the film is appearing to give us a much deeper look at the mind of Evil. Be prepared to enjoy this remake, excuse me I mean re-imagining.
4. Priest
   Cam Gigandet and Stephen Moyer are joining up with Paul Bettany’s warrior monk in the summer film Priest. The film is loosely based on the Korean comic about a clergyman who hunts vampires.
   
5. The return of  The Evil Dead
   This is it, Sam Raimi’s film The Evil dead will be released in selected cities starting January 8th. Later today there will be a post with the dates and cities released.

There are too many awesome things to list but these are just a few. We will keep you informed with a wealth of other news soon. Keep coming back for more information and a few giveaways very soon.

This short film is a demo scene from the book The Talisman written by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Mathieu Ratthe is a very talented film maker and this demo scene really proves it. I would have to say this is one of the most well done and entertaining short films I’ve ever seen.

This is a film made by M.V.B Productions. Delusions is about  A young lady who is experiencing paranoia. She see things before it happens, she’s lives in denial of her fate or is it ?

The film is a pretty interesting and scary short film.  Check it out and rate it and let us know what you think.

With the announcement of the graphic adaption of Stephen Kings N it appears that Stephen King is on top of the world. Marvel has announced it will be adapting the short story N, from the Just After Sunset collection of short stories, into a 4 part graphic novel. It will begin circulation in March of 2010.

It’s 3 in the morning and I’m sitting here watching Diary Of The Dead. I must say George Romero and more so Zombie films in general still have “IT”. It isn’t just one thing. They have several factors that make “IT”. They still after all of these years have the ability to scare the “hell” out of us.

When There is No More Room In Hell The Dead Will Walk The Earth

Zombie films have an ability to make people scared. Unlike other horror films Zombie films give you that what if feeling. The feeling that all of this is just a second away from happening… or even worse, it already is happening. They unlike any other horror film reflect society in a very clever introspective way and that I believe makes everything that much more real and scary

Looking In The Mirror

Romero loves to point out society and its good and bad characteristics in his films. In Night of The Living Dead Romero focuses on the racism and patriarchy all over America. In Dawn of the Dead Romero focused more on Consumerism and Capitalism. Romero isn’t the only writer and director who focues on including these reflections into zombie films. its been a common practice among films lately.

Don’t Be Afraid To Run

Zombies are real people. This is what makes it that much more horrifying. Zombies don’t eat flesh out of an evil animosity towards the living but out of an innate hunger. The zombies try to continue on their roles by doing it is they were used to doing all the time. It is what draws us to the zombie film.

All I know for sure is Zombies are scary as hell.

If you come to Elm Street at night, you will pass an often overlooked road. Its overcasted by trees, and an ominous eerie tone.  There were abandoned houses, before the city burned them down. There was said to be blood on the walls of the houses on Elm Street. If you get a chance you still may see an occasional orb.

Hey guys. I wanted to point out a few odd things i’ve noticed about the swine flu. A few of the latest news articles really could point to a media/governement zombie coverup.  The Zombie Survival Guide calls for several clues that a zombie outbreak could be present. Here is an excerpt from the book discussing warning signs of a potential zombie outbreak.

“Disease-based deaths in which either the cause is undertermined or seems highly suspect. Deaths from infectious disease are rare in the industrialized world, compared to a century ago. For this reason, new outbreaks always make the news. Look for those cases in wich the exact nature of the disease is unexplained. Also, be on the alert for suspicious explanations such as West Nile Virus or “mad cow” disease. Either could be examples of a cover up.”

This exact excerpt has been bugging me so I wanted to put it out there. Read any blog the fact that a virus could be causing all this is kinda odd, that being said its not impossible.

The signs are there for a zombie coverup, just go to CNN.  To be fair, its highly unlikely that this could be an actual zombie outbreak but it could be the beginning. Either way its not gonna hurt to be prepared whether this is a zombie outbreak or a horrible swine flu. Better safe than sorry.

Like i’ve said before each of these short films is a masterpiece in short horror films. I would love to see a zombie movie from these guys one of these days but until then these short films are plenty to keep you up at night for a very long time.

This is a pretty nice zombie short film. Its not filled with blood and guts. The famous duo penn and teller face a zombie infestation.. except Penn dies before Teller can starts filming his thoughts. Its a great short film that i really enjoyed.. Maybe its because i am a huge fan of Penn and Teller but either way i absolutely love it. The film was done by the great guys at Ghost Works and directed by Teller and Ezekiel Zabrowski.

In my opinion a lot of downfalls in horror movies these days is the lack of simplicity. If you think about it the majority of plots are simple, but ruined when written to make characters act out of logic. Dead End keeps it simple. The plot is essentially just a concept film; family driving in a car, lost on a road that seems to not end, encountering things beyond explanation along the way. The director in this film basically presents a story and lets it unfold in a way normal people react. It doesn’t try to expand horizons or create a new sub genre. It simply is telling a horror story about a family.

The film isn’t horrifying but only because the script continues to move on. It only stops when it needs to elaborate or scare you. This is why you will never be horrified but you will feel the hair raise on the back of your neck throughout the film. The tone set from the beginning is great. The acting is very is very realistic.

The movie strips away the glam that has become horror movies lately and leaves a story. A simple tale of a man and his family taking the back roads to beat traffic on a crisp christmas eve night. The story will scare you.
