Who do you want to see in "Threshold"?

"Promote Horror" brings us news today of "Threshold", a new Minotaur Movie.

I am a huge fan of the mythical beast and have yet to see a horror movie make good use of it.  The best designs in a fantasy movie for Minotaurs, in my opinion, were the ones in "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" trilogy.  Strong, true bull heads and hooves.  But as cool as they were, they weren't scary.  The sci-fi channel movies I saw with Minotaurs had no human traits.  So, that's really just a giant bull. No fun there.  My enjoyment of this movie will have a lot to do with how well the design of the beast translates to the screen.

I do like the way they plan to modernize it.  Sounds a bit like "Cube" with a monster in it.  Follow the link above for more information.

I didn't see any cast information, so I thought it gives an opportunity here to do a bit of fantasy casting.  Which cult goddesses would you like to see playing among the college students in peril?  Would Debbie Rochon make a good evil college President?  Or what about Monique Parent?

Will Someone Else Dig Up the Graboids?

Every so often another publication gets things so right, I pretty much just link to their story here.


I was super excited when I heard Kevin Bacon was involved with a new Tremors series for the SyFy Network.  I'm no super fan, but I love the films and they're often part of my October sci-fi monster viewing. The more I heard about plans for the series, the more excited I became to see it.

 The original TV series was a bit forgettable though.  It had some cool concepts, but just didn't catch on, even with the Tremors broader fan base.

The idea of trying it again all these years later, however, seemed right.  I think PopHorror may have gotten it right though, that "Ash vs Evil Dead" has made networks a bit gun shy of investing a lot of resources into older titles that fans seem happy enough to pirate rather than pay to see.

Here is their take on the death (or at least lack of birth) of the new Tremors series.

I do sincerely hope that we at least get to see the pilot movie somewhere.

Help Seal the Rift

I haven't used this space to announce a crowd funding campaign in quite awhile, but this is a project for a friend and colleague of mine, Anjanette Clewis.  Anjanette is very supportive of indie filmmakers and so I think she earns a bit of support in return.

From the Indiegogo Page: "Parrish Randall and Anjanette Clewis play the venomously estranged married couple Roger & Melanthe in the feature flick, Rift.  Their characters battle like the "War of the Roses" on acid."

The fundraising: "The Rift" needs completion funds. In general this means that movie has been shot, but now needs some money to get edited. Any of you who been following the long road to complete "Jack vs Lanterns" probably know that a lack of funds to commit to the movie has slowed down its progress considerably. It has also forced me to cut scenes and change the way I had planned to carry out certain special F/X. These are not problems confined to independent movies.

If you would like to help, financially or by spreading the word, please visit "The Rift" Indiegogo page for more details, to see what perks they have and to get links to donate or spread the word.
