People never get tired of ranked lists. Here’s a fun one listing the Top 50 Dystopian Movies of All Time. There are several films listed that I’ve never even heard of. I’ll be tossing a bunch of these into my Netflix queue.

At the German video game show Leipzig they had a brief teaser trailer for a zombie based FPS called Dead Island. The teaser and the photo gallery don’t show a whole lot but so far the game looks beautiful. Hopefully this studio pulls it off and makes a fun game. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one.

The Wasp Woman (1960)

Fangoria is reporting that Mick Garris and Lionsgate have started a new horror series called Fear Itself

As you know, Showtime ditched Masters of Horror and Garris got Lionsgate to pick it up. When ABC did the Masters of Sci-fi thing, Garris distanced himself from the poor quality of the show specifically because it was on network television and the self-censorship that that entails, which is completely opposite of what the whole point of Masters of Horror is to begin with.

Now comes word that Fear Itself may very well be Masters of Horror, but repackaged for network television, in this case, NBC.

Is this a case of Garris “selling out”? Look, I’ll be the first person to say that horror doesn’t need to be chock full of nudity and gore to be scary. There are plenty of G and PG horror films that are great. But in this case, Garris seems to be changing the entire point of the Masters of Horror series (artists free to do whatever they want) and in light of his comments on the sci-fi version of MoH, he looks a little cheap, in my opinion.  One thing’s for sure, Garris didn’t improve his standing in the horror community any (what little support there was to begin with).

Any self-respecting horror fan should checkout Showtime’s awesome show Dexter which has its second season premiere this Sunday. The series centers around a serial killer named, you guessed it, Dexter who happens to work for the police. His specialty? Figuring out blood spatter patterns and taking out the other serial killer garbage in Miami (separate note: is Miami the new L.A.? It seems like every tv show takes place in Miami now). The first season revolves around Dexter understanding his past and dealing with the Ice Truck Killer. The first season is out on DVD right now. Do yourself a favor and stick it in your Netflix queue.

I want this.  Somebody give me 500 dollars.

Too bad that, even with the massive instruction manual, I’m still probably not smart enough to put it together.  DJ will have to come down with his electrical engineering degree and help me out.

As some of you may or may not know, the guys at Deadlantern are locked in a mortal battle to the death for not only bragging rights, but for a small golden trophy with a football player on the top. Yeah, we’re serious. And that’s why each weekend feels like a Mortal Kombat tournament. So, follow your favorite Dead Lantern personalities with this weekly update on the season’s progress.

Crystal Lake Counselors (MaT) defeats STD Zombies (Steve)

Foul Smelling Discharge (Jeff) defeats 49ers (Nate)

The Fandango’s (Carlin) defeats The Fudge Bay Packers (Jeremy)

I would post the scores, but the site is showing wonky numbers, which seems to be the case quite often. Anyways, here’s the standings:

1. Crystal Lake Counselors: 2-1
2. The Fandango’s :2-1
3. STD Zombies: 2-1
4. Foul Smelling Discharge: 2-1
5. 49ers: 1-2
6. The Fudge Bay Packers: 0-3

Next week, Steve’s zombies battles Carlin’s Flamenco dancing pansies (It’s on, Carlin. I’m calling you out!), Jeremy hopes to get off the shnide by picking the right starters against Nate’s 49ers, and MaT’s counselors take Jeff behind the woodshed for a little Foul Smelling Discharge…

Game on!
