A Nightmare on Elm Street Remake Trailer

Monday, September 28th, 2009

So here we have it. Freddy is the last of the remakes from all the major 80’s horror icons. Yes, yes, I know I know….another remake. Will they ever stop with these? Doubtful.
Anyway, they’ve released a trailer for the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” remake. I like the first shots of the parents chasing down Freddy into the abandoned warehouse. I’m also digging the shots of Freddy’s silhoutte in the boiler room. But other than that, I’m not too impressed. The shot in the bathtub is identical to Craven’s original. Are we going to have another remake that carbon copies every scene? With Jackie Earle Haley there is some potential. But I’ll tell you one thing…I’m definitely not digging Freddy’s burnt face. He looks like a cross between Cronenberg’s mask from “Nightbreed” and a cute doll a child might have.

Chupacabra found?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Apparently some taxidermist from Texas has found the mysterious Chupacabra….

“Jerry Ayer, owner of Blanco Taxidermy School, has possession of the mythical beast’s body. According to CNN, the animal was discovered by one of Ayer’s students. The student had “placed poison…to catch an unidentified animal that had gotten into a family member’s barn.” Little did the student know the animal in question was (maybe) the chupacabra.”

Now, I don’t know if this is legit or not. It basically looks like a really messed up hairless dog to me. But if it is real, scientists should take DNA from that thing and start cloning the hell out of it. Maybe I can have a pet Chupacabra by Christmas! It’d be great to have a couple “Chupas” race across my lawn scaring the piss out of my neighbors.

Here is a link to the video, Chupacabra Video.
