Hello There! This is Adam Frazier and you are listening to Skull-Face Island, the official movie podcast of Geeks of Doom! As always I’m joined by the Lap Dog of Dame Judi Dench, David Allen, and our lovable but dangerous, producer Tim Grant.

Today on the Show: We’ll discuss Scott Derrickson‘s new supernatural horror film starring Ethan Hawke, Sinister, and follow-up on our discussion about remakes from last week with news about upcoming reboots of Evil Dead and The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

For our third segment, It’s October (I think?) on Skull-Face Island and you know what that means? Breast Cancer Awareness 5Ks? Good guess. Pumpkin Spice Lattes? Delicious, but no. Halloween? YES. Horror movies? DOUBLE YES! In celebration of this most grand and festive of months, we’ve decided to do a TOP FIVE list of our favorite horror films!

Universal has no problem rebooting their classic monster movie properties every now and again. Not too long ago they remade the great 1941 Lon Chaney classic The Wolf Man, and recent reports have indicated that new versions of Frankenstein (being developed by Guillermo del Toro) and The Mummy (currently set to be directed by Len Wiseman) aren’t too far off.

Another property Universal has been trying to remake for a couple of decades now with little luck, is 1954’s Creature from the Black Lagoon. Now it appears that they’re ready to give it another go with the announcement that they’ve found a writer for the remake. It’s being reported that Dave Kajganich has been hired to pen the screenplay, and that he’ll be starting from scratch.

Hello Geeks and Ghouls, Famous Monster here. Well, it’s finally October and you know what that means? Breast Cancer Awareness 5Ks? Good guess. Pumpkin Spice Lattes? Delicious, but no. Halloween? YES. Horror movies? DOUBLE YES!

Welcome to 31 Days of Horror, where I’ll cover at least two noteworthy horror films a day for the entirety of the month. That’s 31 Days of Horror and 62+ scary movies perfect for a cold, dark October night. Be sure to visit Geeks of Doom every day this month for a double-shot of chills and thrills!

Today’s double-shot of creature features will turn even the most experienced sailor into a bellyachin’ landlubber. I present to you Jack Arnold‘s 1954 classic, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Steven Spielberg‘s 1975 blockbuster, Jaws.

If we could all just bow our heads, please. A moment of silence for my wallet, which just died of a sudden and painful one-two punch of Blu-ray pre-orders. First Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures, now this…

In celebration of Universal’s 100th anniversary, eight iconic movie monsters are being resurrected and digitally restored (for the first time ever) on Blu-ray. Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection is the definitive box set for film buffs and horror aficionados. Just in time for Halloween, the collection will be released on October 2nd for yet-to-be-announced price.

Deadline Hollywood is reporting something that many have expected for a long while now, but it is no less painful to read. That’s right, Paramount Pictures has decided to remake the 1987 childhood classic, The Monster Squad.

If the project does indeed happen, Rob Cohen, who was a producer and executive producer on the original movie, already has high hopes to direct the remake. Considering that he’s emotionally attached to the old movie, you would think that he would be an ideal candidate to create a faithful reproduction here, but this might not be the case. Cohen does have plenty of directing experience since then, but with his credits including Dragonheart, The Skulls, The Fast and the Furious, xXx, Stealth, and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, most Monster Squad die hards will shudder in fear at the thought.
