Are you psyched? Because I’ve got half a chub over this new Nightmare on Elm St. with Jackie Earle Haley. Obviously Scott Mendelson from the Huffington post doesn’t have the same south of the border sensation and hasn’t seen the Friday the 13th remake. Because if that is any indication Michael Bay/Samuel Bayer’s re-imagining of ANOES then there will probably be cherry-picked elements from a few of the past Nightmares involved in this film (Brecken Meyer Power Glove not included). Somewhat indicated in the trailer, I’m guessing a little lady is going to be painting the walls and ceiling arterial red on Elm St. It’s too bad they don’t make as many waterbeds as they used to in the 80’s.

I will say the underbite speech impediment is a bit odd as well as the trailer not hinting at any of Krueger’s Pun-ishingly dark ribs at his victims. This could be a dark, straight-faced Nightmare. For this fan’s sake…hopefully not all serious.

What do YOU think?

Thanks to @Kingmob6 for reminding me to post this!

Steve may be a Transformers guy, but I’m saving up all of my bitter disappointment for the G.I. Joe movie in August. Visit this link to check out some new posters that were revealed the other day.

I have to say, they’re pretty boring posters. Visually, they’re just really generic and don’t evoke the property as starkly as I’d like, but at least Snake-Eyes looks pretty much like he should.

A little bit of new info on the NOTLD: Reanimated project.

Wild Eye Releasing is pleased to announce the release of the first TEASER POSTER art for the upcoming video art gallery experience Night of the Living Dead: REANIMATED in anticipation of the project’s official DVD release in winter 2009.

Organizer/Curator of the project, Mike Schneider, designed the poster as a small glimpse into the dozens of styles on display in the project, which features over 100 artists from around the world. Working from the same source, George Romeros’ original Night of the Living Dead, each artist has taken scenes and ‘reanimated’ them through processes ranging from CGI to puppetry and oil paintings to tattoos. This creates a new viewing experience of a timeless classic.

The teaser poster will be available this weekend at Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors in NYC at the Wild Eye table.

Here’s an interesting piece about the poster for Drag Me To Hell.

To hear Adam Fogelson, Universal’s head of marketing and distribution, tell it, the main idea behind the poster was to distance “Drag Me to Hell” from the grisly torture porn films that have largely dominated the horror genre in recent years. “We wanted to communicate the concept in a way that was exciting and scary, but also fun. There have been a lot of print images lately for woman-in-jeopardy films that just felt too gross and unpleasant.” He searched for the right word: “Icky. Torture porn-like. We wanted to stay away from that as much as possible.”
