‘Sherlock’ Brain-trust To Create A New ‘Dracula’ Series
Hello again my Little Monsters, as you may have read in the title, it appears that a new Dracula series is in the works from the folks at the BBC (that’s The British Broadcasting Corporation to you and me, Rusty). After their monumentally successful modernization of the tales of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary sleuth in the television series Sherlock, the writers and producers of the popular series are focusing their gaze on a new incarnation of Bram Stoker’s equally legendary “Prince of Darkness”. Sherlock series writers Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat will be on board again to handle writing duties, while Sue Vertue’s company Hartswood Films will handle all producorial aspects. This will be a reunion of sorts for Gattis and Moffat, who haven’t collaborated on a project since Series 4 of Sherlock. Despite their present work on solo projects, Gatiss and Moffat have begun talks with the BBC on this new series. Granted, there will likely be no

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Julie Harris
Yes my Little Monsters, ’tis Wednesday and that means it’s time for us all to come together to celebrate another wonderful Woman of Horror. Now not all of these lovely and talented ladies have an extensive horror resume, and such is the case with today’s featured lady, Julie Harris. But that’s not to say that her contribution is not a significant one within the horror genre, and it’s a contribution we’ll get to in a minute. Julie was born Julia Ann Harris in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, to Elsie and William Pickett Harris. She would go on to attend and eventually graduate from Grosse Pointe Country Day School, during which time her family encouraged her to pursue the performing arts. Julie would then make the move to New York City, where she would attend The Hewitt School. She would also receive training during her teenage years, at the Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School & Camp located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Charlotte Perry,

Is ‘The Mummy’ As Bad As Everyone Says?
Yes. Yes it is. ………But I think its worth watching anyway, as a lesson in how not to make a horror movie, if nothing else. Studio horror rightfully gets a lot of shit, and The Mummy might just be the perfect example of a production studio that doesn’t have a fucking clue what horror fans want. But what this disaster-piece really does is show how little faith studios have in horror at all. Despite films like The Conjuring grossing over $300 Million dollars, film producers still don’t believe horror has the drawing power that more traditional Blockbuster and action films do. So rather than anything close to a horror movie, The Mummy is instead a big budget Tom Cruise action film, the start of a cinematic universe no less (on a related note, has anyone outside of Marvel even come close to a halfway watchable cinematic universe?) Never mind the fact that the mummy is a monster with literally thousands
