King's From A Buick 8 still moving forward

Apparently, there was some speculation and rumors that the film adaptation of Stephen King's From A Buick 8 was being axed. Texas Chainsaw Massacre / Poltergeist director Tobe Hooper has been attached to the project for over a year now and continues to be. He stated around August 24th that actor Johnathon Schaech (Prom Night, The Forsaken, That Thing You Do!) and Cemetery Dance publisher Richard Chizmar (who, in the past, have penned episodes of Masters of Horror and Fear Itself) were turning in the script sometime that next week. George A. Romero was originally attached to the project as director, but decided to move on and is beginning production on Diary of the Dead 2 this month.

It's Alive Remake - new extended trailer & pics

A new extended 3 minute and 45 second trailer has gone up for the yet-to-be released remake of It's Alive. You can check the trailer out by clicking on the picture above. The film premiered at the Hamburg Fantasy Filmfest in Germany on August 15th, but there has been no release date set for the U.S. yet. Three new pictures were also released as well. You can check them out below.

TX Fear Fest 3 has been rescheduled

This is straight from the event's website forum:

Pit of Horror and Dread Central regretfully announce that, due to unforeseen circumstances Fear Fest 3 is being rescheduled to February 20th-22nd, 2009. Thank you to everyone who was planning to attend and we apologize for any inconvenience. We will update everyone on the NEW and IMPROVED guest list as it solidifies.

For those who have purchased tickets or vendor tables, we are offering a full refund for the October show. However, we will also willingly match tickets, i.e. for the February show if you prefer. So if you purchased 2 VIP tickets, we will give you two additional VIP tickets at no charge. If you purchased a weekend or day pass, we will instantly upgrade those passes to VIPs. For vendors, we will match the table purchase as well and you will automatically get 4 VIP tickets for the show at no additional charge.

If you have any additional issues, please e-mail FearFestTX@yahoo.com and we will work with you to the best of our abilities. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope to make Fear Fest bigger and better for the future!

And to further clarify, my father is dying and is in hospice. He is not expected to make it past the end of the month. I can't very well put on a good show and plan a funeral at the same time. I debated on whether or not to post this, as it may simply sound like an excuse... but it is the truth and something as serious as this is the only thing that would keep me from honoring my commitment to the fans.

So PLEASE, if you have any terrible things to say, keep them off the forum, send them via email, whatever you have to do... but please respect the situation and understand.

We will make it worth the wait for sure. Any refunds for tickets or instant upgrades/free passes can be sent via email to fearfesttx@yahoo.com.
