I gave you a hint about this in July and today I am beyond excited by the news that Tim Burton has officially signed on for a remake of the popular vampire soap opera, Dark Shadows–set to film in 2010. Equally exciting but not surprising is confirmation of Johnny Depp in the role of lead vampire Barnabas Collins. I’m sure we’ll be seeing some of the other usual suspects and that’s ok by me. I haven’t raced to the theater for any Burton films as of late but I have faith that the spooky visionary can do something imaginative with …read more

Fear Itself “Community” Episode Review

The latest installment of Fear Itself, called Community, features actors Brandon Routh and Shiri Appleby, and tells the story of a couple who just want to have a happy life together, but take a wrong turn on the road to sinister.

Sci-fi’s Scare Tactics premiered last night in two episodes, and I have to say, the laughs were there. “Fear is Funny” has been the tagline of the show in all the TV promos.
