Sony Sets a Release Date for Resident Evil 6

~From ShockTillYouDrop.com

If you saw Resident Evil: Retribution - the fifth chapter in the series, which grossed $221 million worldwide - you know they've left the door open to at least one more chapter in the series.  

[...] Director Paul W.S. Anderson [...] had mapped out a story for a new trilogy which would carry the franchise into a sixth film, so you know he's ready.  While we don't have a title for that sixth film, there is a confirmed release date...

ShockTillYouDrop.com has learned Sony/Screen Gems has set a debut date for September 12, 2014 which means Anderson and star Milla Jovovich will likely begin shooting the new film this fall.

Story-wise, no details have been released, but when we last saw Jovovich's Alice, she was at the White House and facing a rather large threat with Wesker by her side.

Global Zombie Walk


~From ShockTillYouDrop.com

There’s a Global Zombie Apocalypse coming to a city near you on May 4th, 2013 with over 1,000 cities around the world participating. Dress like a zombie and join the biggest pub-crawl in the known universe. Crawl, stagger, walk, or run to the party – there’s never been anything like it in the living world – or the world of the dead – before.

Zombie pub-crawls combine the decadent fun of the average boozy pub-crawl with the best of zombie walk traditional fun. Pub crawl participants don zombie attire, pour on the fake blood, and devour drinks and snacks shuffling bar to bar. They walk like the living dead and party like there’s no tomorrow. One of the first zombie pub-crawls began in the US, but the contagion of fun is about to spread worldwide. So what’s next? Zombies take over the French Quarter? Times Square? The Left Bank? Big Ben? The world's largest pub-crawl is bound to break the world record for the largest of zombie gatherings.

Zombies can create their own costumes or stagger on into a costume store. Must haves: fake blood and gore, ripped or tattered clothes, and a strong desire to turn the night of the living dead into a rocking, fun night of the living dead. No more will zombies be confined to B movies and comic books. They’re coming - it’s a dead man’s party!

Saturday May 4th, 2013, join the massive hordes of the undead. Be part of the swarm of zombies to descend on local bars - and party through the night at the biggest gathering of the undead ever seen.

20 Great Horror Movies You've Likely Never Seen



ShockTillYouDrop.com has opted to take a step away from mainstream theatrical horror and shine the spotlight on a group of films from the past 15 years that you may have missed and absolutely should see.

The seasoned horror fan may recognize some titles on the list, but ShockTillYouDrop.com is certain that you will find at least a few that are worth looking into.  The selections range from lesser known to completely obscure.  This is not a definitive top 20 list nor are the movies listed in any particular order.

  1. Alone With Her (2006)
  2. The Orphanage (2007)
  3. Home Movie (2008)
  4. Creep (2004)
  5. The Cottage (2008)
  6. Feed (2005)
  7. Severance (2006)
  8. Eden Lake (2008)
  9. The Pact (2012)
  10. Botched (2007)
  11. Grace (2009)
  12. All The Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006)
  13. Cold Prey (2006)
  14. Audition (1999)
  15. Inside (2007)
  16. Session 9 (2001)
  17. Martyrs (2008)
  18. Excision (2012)
  19. The Skin I Live In (2011)
  20. Dream Home (2010)
Now, I like to consider myself a "seasoned horror fan", but I'm embarrassed to admit that I've only seen two of the movies on this list - The Orphanage and Session 9.  Looks like I have a few hours of movie watching to do!

How 'bout you?  In the comments, tell me how many, if any, of these movies you have seen?

Director Found to Adapt Stephen King's "Cell"

~From ShockTillYouDrop.com

Last fall we saw John Cusack being attached to an adaptation of Stephen King's Cell which is now being developed at Cargo Entertainment.

Today, we learn Tod Williams (Paranormal Activity 2) is going to direct.  The project was once a directing vehicle for Eli Roth when the adaptation was set up at Dimension Films.

 Screen Daily reports King and Adam Alleca (The Last House on the Left) penned the script and production is expected to begin this May.

Here is the synopsis if you are unfamiliar with the story:
Artist Clayton Riddell had been in Boston negotiating a successful deal to sell his comic book project. His joy at finally hitting it big is shattered by an event called The Pulse which causes all those who were using their cell phones at the time of The Pulse to become zombies attacking and killing anyone in their way. Fortunately for Clay, he does not own a cell phone. In the panic to get out of Boston and find his way home to his wife and son in Maine, he is joined by Tom McCourt, a man he meets in the meleĂ© immediately following The Pulse and a young girl, Alice, who they rescue from being killed by one of the “crazies.” The story follows their terrifying journey, avoiding capture—and worse—by the “crazies” who are beginning to “flock” and are led by one they call Raggedy Man as they attempt to reach Maine and a place called Kashwak which they hope will be their salvation.

Zombieland Series Casting Update

~From ShockTillYouDrop.com

It was revealed last month that Amazon is making plans to turn Ruben Fleischer's 2009 horror comedy Zombieland into a streaming series and, today, Deadline has learned two of the actors that will be joining the central four-person cast. Tyler Ross (Milkshake) will play Columbus and relative newcomer Izabela Vidovic will play Little Rock.

The original film, written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, starred Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin as a group of survivors trying to stay alive in the face of the zombie apocalypse. Ross and Vidovic's roles are those originally played by Eisenberg and Breslin, respectively.

Planned for 30-minute episodes, the "television" version of "Zombieland" returns the franchise to its original concept of an ongoing serialized comedy adventure.

Zombieland Series Heading to Amazon

~From ShockTillYouDrop.com

It appears Amazon doesn't want to be left out of the "genre series" business. This maneuver seems like an appropriate counter to what is brewing at Netflix: Hemlock Grove, an original series which is set to debut on April 19th.

Planned for 30-minute episodes, the small screen version of "Zombieland", which initially began as a TV series idea until it was reworked into a feature film, returns the franchise to that original concept of an ongoing serialized comedy adventure. The Zombieland series will blend familiar characters from the feature film with brand new characters specifically for the series.

Sadly, it doesn't look like the original film's cast will be a part of the production as there have been casting calls for the four major characters (Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita and Little Rock) as well as other minor characters.

Or if aliens started the Great Chicago Fire of 1871??

Or if the Washington Monument was destroyed by “Potomac Patty” in1862?

You can see (and purchase) some very cool prints depicting these and other "Alternate History" events here.  Why can't I think of stuff like this?!
