Back in the mid-80s, horror fiction had become more than a little complacent. In most people’s minds, what passed for cutting edge genre fiction was the work of word generators such as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, or Anne Rice. It was all spooky kids, rabid pets, daddy issues, and whiny, homo-erotic vampires.
By and large that was fine, but it is important to remember that the punk music scene had landed with both feet on the next of the public zeitgeist and stories of such archetypical monsters and mayhem didn't resonate with readers like they once did. The public had a new attitude and wanted a new breed of monsters to go with it...ones that better fit in line with their new nihilistic outlook.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere and to everybody’s surprise, came a group of young iconoclasts like Clive Barker, Poppy Z. Brite, Jack Ketchum,...

Although "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" was her last as Gabriella Montez, Vanessa Hudgens still leaves an open door for her return. In a recent interview with MTV News, the 21-year-old actress teases on the possibility of her making a cameo as the girlfriend of Troy Bolton on "HSM" spin-off, "Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure".
The "Beastly" star admitted that she isn't against the idea of making an appearance on the TV movie, especially if its star, who happens to be former co-star, Ashley Tisdale asks her. "Maybe!
