Thanks to B-D reader 'Lucas' we might have our hands on the teaser trailer for Filmax's
REC 2, the Spanish sequel to the incredible
REC, which was already remade here in the States by Screen Gems as QUARANTINE. If this is in fact legit, it's one of the best 'short' teasers I have ever seen - you can watch it by heading over to
BDTV. The same talented directors (Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza) stick to the same claustrophobic concept in REC 2, but find new means of transferring fear from the screen to the spectator through the recording lens.

I have always enjoyed a good haunted house story and Hell House is exactly that-a good haunted house story. In fact it is one of the best that I have ever read. It is also the book that inspired the film, The Legend of Hell House, starring Roddy McDowall, Gayle Hunnicutt and Peter Bowles. The book is about 300 pages long and is not divided up into traditional chapters, but is, instead, separated...[Excerpt only. Full review available

If you have read Rosemary's Baby and then wondered what happened next all the answers can be found in Son of Rosemary. Yeah, that's right, there is a sequel, but it was a long time coming--about thirty years in real--time and thirty-three in the story... [Excerpt only. Full review available on site]

The cover of this book is rather misleading: blood and candles. Looking at it you might expect the story to be about a serial killer with a fetish for naked flames, or something equally strange and gory, but The Midnight Club is not really a horror story at all. Not in the traditional sense anyway, but neither is it exactly a light-hearted read because all of the central characters are dying... [Excerpt only. Full review available on site]

Vampyrrhic Rites is the sequel to Vampyrrhic and takes up the story three years later. In the original book there were four people who joined together to fight and destroy the vampires: David Leppington, Electra Charnwood, Bernice Mochardi and Jack Black. Jack Black was my favourite character in the book, but he died while fighting the good fight against the vampire hoards and I was not sure how much I would enjoy a sequel in which it seemed unlikely that he would appear. I needn't have worried, however, because the big thug still manages to make himself useful this time around, despite the obvious disadvantage of being dead and dismembered and buried in more than one grave...[Excerpt only.

Funland is set in the fictional Californian town of Boleta Bay, where the weather is fine and the girls are finer. A place where the guys need the breeze, rolling in with the surf, just to cool them down as they look at all those shapely bods stretched out along the beech. It is, in short, a pretty cool place to live. Sixteen-year-old Jeremy Wayne thinks so anyway. He and his mother have just moved to the Bay and he is awestruck. Boleta Bay is a vacation place, and he gets to live there!... [Excerpt only. Full review available on site]

There are no prizes for guessing what this book is about. The title says it all: Snakes. And snakes are not something that the average British citizen has to worry about most of the time. In this story though, the inhabitants of a little village called Stainforth have plenty of reasons to worry about the slithering reptiles when, after a motorway pileup, a truckload of snakes escape into the countryside. The driver of the truck is probably their first victim, then they move on to whoever is handy and when a young police constable called Mark Bazeley arrives on the scene of the accident and tries to administer first aid to an injured young lady-who for some unexplained reason happens to be naked-he thinks that she must be delirious when she tells him that a snake has bitten her. Bazeley finds out the truth of her words soon enough though, when he becomes lunch for an African rock python... [Excerpt only. Full review available on site]

Mitch Rafferty owns a gardening business and he is a good gardener, but like most gardeners he is not rolling in money. In fact, Mitch only has about eleven thousand dollars in the bank, which is pretty good for a gardener, but not good enough. Mitch needs two million dollars and he has sixty hours to get his hands on it. Why does a gardener need so much money? Well, not to buy a couple of new spades and thirty feet of garden hose, that's for sure. The two million is what it will cost Mitch to get his wife back... [Excerpt only.

Our good friend 'Chuck E.' just sent us the latest casting breakdown for Rob Zombie's
H2, which begins shooting this month in Los Angeles for release on August 28th. While it doesn't confirm any returning names, it does give some idea into what the film is about and reveals multiple murder sequences. Get your hard hat on and get ready for some
spoilers. The new film picks up right as the first remake ended, following the aftermath of Michael Myers' murderous rampage through the eyes of the sister he hunted.
