Really Scary Poster Art Updated
We've updated the Really Scary poster art with an advance painted version of The Green Mile starring Tom Hanks. The Green Mile opened at theaters this weekend and is receiving a lot of Oscar noise. Preliminary numbers indicate it'll take the top spot at the box office this weekend, but there are still chances for a Toy Story 2 upset. We'll have those numbers for you first thing Monday.

We've also added poster art for Retro Puppet Master and Winona Ryder's Lost Souls. Click here to take a look.

Really Scary DVD/VHS Updated
We've got new cover art for the upcoming From Dusk Till Dawn 3, Night of the Hunter (starring Richard Mitchum as the spookiest preacher you'll ever see), The Boys from Brazil, Lake Placid and much more.

Sony's Urban Legend 2 Site Boasts Production Cam
Sony launched their website for Urban Legend 2 yesterday and it gives fans a couple of great features. Want to check out what's going on at the set in Toronto and see for yourself what urban legends are unfolding on the set of Urban Legends: The Final Cut? From Dec. 13-15, you'll be able to do just that by using the "The Final Cut CAM." It will reportedly feed you live streaming video straight from the Toronto set.

The site has also set up a spot for you to submit your own urban legend.

Flight 180 Now Titled Final Destination
The upcoming thriller Final Destination has had its name changed from Flight 180 (probably not scary enough for execs). [Editor's note: In a related item, we'll play a game soon where we rename classic horror films and name them what today's executives would probably have called them...to make them scarier. If you have any suggestions for us, drop us an email here. Be sure to list the original title and then the "modern scarier" title that execs would've come up with instead. We'll dig something up to reward the best entry.]

The production company just launched the website for the new film. It's got some cool stuff like a place for you to fill out your last will and testament and e-mail it to someone you love...fairly gruesome. There's also a teaser trailer that's exclusive to the website right now. Click here to check out the site.

Sneak Peek at Third Movie Maniacs Line
McFarlane Toys previewed prototypes from its third series of Movie Maniacs figures last weekend at the Mid-Ohio-Con.

As reported earlier in Really Scary, the series will include Edward Scissorhands, The Fly, Snake Pliskin from Escape from New York and Ash from Evil Dead.

McFarlane's Steve Hamady told the Comics' Continuum that the series, scheduled for a late September or early October release, may also include a figure from Clive Barker's Hellraiser.

"If we get the go-ahead in the next two months, you'll see Pinhead in the third Movie Maniacs line," Hamady said.

Here's a sneak peek at a photo the Comics Continuum was able to obtain of an Edward Scissorhands prototype. Click here.

Hamady said there might also be more figures from Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow movie.

Clockwork Orange Returning to Britian After 27 Years
Variety reports the uncut version of A Clockwork Orange, the late Stanley Kubrick's controversial cult classic, will return to British cinemas next spring for the first time in 27 years, the film's distributor said Monday.

Kubrick's award-winning adaptation of the futuristic novel by Anthony Burgess caused outrage when it was released in January 1972 for its supposed glamorization of violence.

The director, who died earlier this year at the age of 70, withdrew the film in 1973 after it had been out for a year because he and his family had received death threats. The film could still be seen in other countries.

Warner Bros. Pictures International said the film would be re-released in Britain next spring. It will carry an 18 -- or adult -- certificate.

Leaving Dawson for The Gift
According to Cinescape Online (via HorrorOnline), Katie Holmes from Disturbing Behavior and Dawson's Creek, is in negotiations with Paramount to star in their upcoming supernatural film The Gift.

The film, which Elizabeth's star Cate Blanchett has already signed on for, is scheduled to start principal photography this January, with Sam Raimi of Evil Dead fame at the reins. Holmes, if she takes the role, will play a girl who disappears from a small Arkansas town. The script, written by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson, revolves around the efforts of local law enforcement (aided by a psychic) in finding her.

Polanski Thriller Delayed

Stephen King Interactive!
As only Stephen King can do, he has managed to make something as benign as a computer keyboard, something sinister. Here's a description for an interactive software product coming sometime in January 2000.

At the very top of your seemingly benign keyboard is a row of function keys. On a standard PC, they number F1 to F12. Key F13 doesn't exist. Even on a MAC, the F13 is an unassuming little key that simply captures a displayed screen. What if an F13 with some real potency appeared? Something menacing, a merger of technology and terror brought straight to your desktop. Would you dare strike such a key? A provocative yet unanswered question for horror fans and computer users. Unanswered until now...

Stephen King's* F13 will include games with titles such as Whack-A-Zombie, Bug Splat and No Swimming. From these titles you can pretty much surmise this is vintage creepy King.

But probably the best reason to pick this up is it's inclusion of the novellette "Everything's Eventual." This software will offer a rare opportunity to own a title that has never been distributed in book form. "Everything's Eventual" is a suspense filled, quick read novella featuring a surly main character, Dink Earnshaw, a social outcast and high school dropout with peculiar talents. A twist of fate and command of interactive technology places him in a position to apply his deadly abilities. To set the stage, F13 serves up "Everything's Eventual" with detailed illustrations and eerie audio files. The F13 Digital Bookmark is included and allows you to keep your place in King's gripping tale. Check out http://www.frightware.com for more information.
