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 horror features a coast-to-coast cold front with John Carpenter‘s 1980 film, The Fog, and Frank Darabont‘s 2007 adaptation of Stephen King‘s The Mist.

Way to possibly spoil something, Variety.

First off, the straight news. The outlet is reporting that Jon Bernthal, Shane on AMC’s The Walking Dead, is in early talks to join TNT’s upcoming drama, L.A. Noir, backed by none other than Frank Darabont, as was reported recently.

Well anyone who’s been watching The Walking Dead knows that the days of wine and roses aren’t coming any time, especially in the wake of the events of the mid-season finale. Last Sunday AMC aired a special sneak preview of the upcoming mid-season premiere episode titled “Nebraska” after Hell on Wheels.

You can watch the video (plus a bonus video from the episode) here below.

At the recent Television Critics Association press tour AMC announced that the episode order for the third season of their popular post-apocalyptic horror-drama The Walking Dead has been increased to 16, as opposed to 13 for the second season. They also released the poster for the show’s mid-season premiere next month.

You can check out the poster, featuring a stark and powerful shot of the show’s main character Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), and a press release here below.

Having left The Walking Dead, it appears as though Frank Darabont has some free time on his hands.

Deadline is reporting that Darabont has earned a pilot order at TNT for his crime series, L.A. Noir. Not based on the popular video game, the show will be based on the novel of the same name, that follows the story of LA Police Chief William Parker, and his long battle with crime lord and iconic mobster Mickey Cohen. Darabont will helm the pilot and will produce as well.
