Tim Burton's 1996 alien invasion movie Mars Attacks!, and some of the nerdy stuff behind it...
Coming off the back of arguably his most acclaimed film, the Oscar-winning Ed Wood, director Tim Burton returned to blockbuster movie territory, with his anarchic 1996 take on the Topps Tradiing Card series, Mars Attacks! He pulled together a cracking ensemble cast, and proceeded to take real glee in having them dispatched by aliens with a penchant for shooting birds of peace out of the sky, and saying ‘ack!’ a lot. In fact, the dialogue of ‘ack!’ was a placeholder in the screenplay penned by Jonathan Gems, and was never replaced. A wise move, that. Gems, goes the story, developed the screenplay for the film, and only when he was done did he realise the trading cards themselves came with their own story on the reverse side!

It’s crazy to look back on those early Fast & Furious films and see how far things have come. The series originally started off as an underground streetracing one with an extra dose of crime strewn about, and four films later ventured into the more spy espionage genre before going full-blown superhero movie on us.
Given how much things have escalated in the 15 or so years since the first film, it’s easy to joke about the franchise eventually heading into space. After all, what’s the most silly and ridiculous ways to escalate things even more? While we joke about it, we also have a tendency to pass it off without Seriously looking into it.
When asked about this potential direction, Fate of the Furious director F. Gary Gray didn’t really rule it out as a possibility.
“Outer space? Listen, I wouldn’t rule anything with this franchise.

“Thru the Time Barrier, 552 years Ahead… Roaring To the Far Reaches of Titanic Terror, Crash-Landing Into the Nightmare Future!” … and as Daffy Duck says, “And it’s good, too!” Allied Artists sends CinemaScope and Technicolor on a far-out timewarp to a place where the men are silly and the women are… very female. Hugh Marlowe stars but the picture belongs to hunky Rod Taylor and leggy Nancy Gates.

Time flies, doesn’t it? It seems like just yesterday I was watching Animaniacs Live, interviewing folks about Turtles and cartoons, seeing the latest in geek fashions, hanging out with American Gods, and chatting with the Kings of Con at Sdcc, not to mention chillin’ at Nerd HQ. And now suddenly it’s September, and I’ve since attended both the UK Discworld Convention and Dragon Con! Convention season: it really never stops, does it?
Despite my busy schedule, I don’t want to miss sharing any of the fantastic adventures I’ve been having with you; so first, let’s rewind to San Diego and reminisce about the summer party-party-parties, because they are a staple of Sdcc and deserve to be featured. Every year, I try to line up at least a couple of parties each night, because, let’s be frank, I just love a good party. (I...

Leading today’s Horror Highlights is four clips from IFC Midnight’s Antibirth. Following Danny Perez’s trippy debut, is a new trailer for Daylight’s End, Kickstarter information on Steve Johnson’s Rubberhead Sex, Drugs, and Special FX, and release details for a Slime City double feature Blu-ray.
Watch Four Clips from Antibirth: “Hard-drinking, pill-popping, bong-ripping Lou (Natasha Lyonne) and her best friend Sadie (Chloë Sevigny) spend their days adrift in a druggy haze. But one wild night out becomes a bad trip that never ends when Lou wakes up with symptoms of an unexplained, highly abnormal pregnancy. Who—or what—is growing inside her? As her due date approaches with alarming swiftness, the fear, paranoia, and conspiracy theories begin to pile up. Spiked with blasts of hallucinatory color, surreal shocks, and subversive comedy, the audacious feature debut from Danny Perez is a no-holds-barred descent into delirium.”

It had been many years since I visited the demonic world of Doom, and like most reunions, my anticipation equaled my dread before awakening on the Union Aerospace Corporation research facility on Mars.
My hazy recollection of id Software’s first-person shooter from 1993 slowly prepared me for a brutal assault of enormous demons, being locked in small corridors, and running for my life (or to my death) with an underpowered handgun and a pulsating industrial soundtrack echoing in my eardrums like a bloodthirsty banshee ready for apocalyptic war.
As you progress in this visually stunning and adrenaline-inducing new chapter in the Doom saga, your weapons get bigger and badder, but don’t you dare stop running. You stop and you’re dead, plain and simple. For better or worse, the narrative in the new campaign might be even more silly and convoluted as the original adventure, as your unnamed space marine plays cleanup after a failed attempt by delusional scientists and bureaucrats to harness energy from Hell. But honestly, Doom has never really been about the story—instead, it’s all about the atmosphere, the energy, and big blazing guns. In other words, just go with it and you’ll be having so much fun chainsawing monsters in half and blowing off faces with your super shotgun that you’ll forget your mission objectives until the human-possessed robot reminds you every now and then for a good laugh.
The main motivations when blasting through Doom‘s single-player campaign are weapon upgrades, which encouraged me to explore every nook and cranny for secret areas and bonus challenges to beef up my arsenal as much as humanly possible. The more badass my weapons became, the more fun I had dishing out carnage to Pinkies, Mancubi, and the red-horned pain in my ass that I gladly saved most of my Bfg (“Big Fragging Gun”) shots for.
Despite some enemy repetitiveness and a couple of game freezing bugs I encountered, my time in Doom had been an absolute blast, but then came the boss fights. I’m always up for a good challenge, but during the second part of my fight with the Cyberdemon, I had one angel on my shoulder encouraging me to power through the frustrating puzzle-like mechanics of offense and defense, while the other angel hissed for me to rage quit after unsuccessfully finding the weak spots. After a couple rounds of patience and cursing, I managed to overcome these obstacles with a sense of pride, but I’m in no hurry to test my luck with the “Ultra-Nightmare” difficulty level, especially since it involves permadeath.
The Spider Mastermind pushed my buttons in a whole different matter, but once again, victory became much sweeter after enduring such tribulations. I briefly jumped into the multiplayer campaign, which had a bit of an identity crisis, attempting to blend the classic Doom tropes with modern shooters, so there’s definitely room for improvement where that is concerned.
Overall, my experience with Doom was rewarding and offered some big, dumb fun for a casual visitor to the series like myself. The game should certainly please you sadistic Doom veterans that like dishing out punishment as much as receiving it. I encourage anyone who’s on the fence about playing this game to give it a try, and I bet you’ll have a hell of a time (dumb pun intended).

Doom
Developed by id Software
Published by Bethesda Softworks
Available on PC (Windows, via Steam—reviewed), PS4, Xbox One
Doom is back.
I could beat around the bush, but what would be the point? id Software’s 1993 classic set the stage for decades of subsequent first-person shooters, and while the franchise took a sharp left turn from raw action into more methodical action-horror with 2004’s Doom 3—before languishing in developmental turmoil for 12 years with a questionable-looking Doom 4—Doom’s 2016 return is unequivocally triumphant. The team at id has managed to capture the carnal delight of the first two games while modernizing the overall package, and it’s an impressive feat even compared to the stellar revamp of Wolfenstein from Machine Games.
Doom sets the right tone within 30 seconds of starting a new game. 2 or 3 lines of dialogue and a few seconds of introductory cutscene are all that precedes a gun...

Neil DeGrasse Tyson recently wrapped taping on the second season of his Nat Geo talk show Star Talk, and he's excited about it. He's got good reason to be: His show was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Information Series or Special, and the second season was picked up before the first episode of the first season aired.
Season 2 of Star Talk boasts some seriously impressive guests, including former President Bill Clinton, Susan Sarandon and David Byrne. People sat down to talk with Tyson about the second season and what he's learned with one season of late-night TV under his belt.

Although I was barely ten years-old, I remember feeling terrified while watching horror master Wes Craven’s 1978 made-for-tv thriller Summer of Fear (under its alternate title Stranger in Our House) as well as thoroughly enjoying his adaptation of the comic book Swamp Thing four years later, but it wasn’t until November of 1984, while viewing the trailer for some new horror flick called A Nightmare on Elm Street, that I recall hearing and remembering the name Wes Craven. After being thrilled by this masterpiece which, in my opinion, is Craven’s greatest work, I certainly wanted to learn more about this extremely talented filmmaker. After doing a bit of research, I quickly discovered that I had already seen Craven’s original and very interesting Deadly Blessing (1981) and, also, his other masterpiece (in my opinion): 1977’s The Hills Have Eyes. Whenever someone mentions Wes Craven, I immediately think of Nightmare and Hills,...

Tim Burton is perhaps one of the most unique and exciting filmmakers working today. With a vision inspired by classic horror and a dry wit, his films are often fiercely entertaining and endlessly clever. Of course, that’s not to say that there aren’t dark spots on his filmography. Like every filmmaker he’s had his missteps but even when the movies don’t quite work Burton manages to create films that are visually stunning and artistic. With the recent release of Big Eyes and a possible sequel to Beetlejuice in the works, examining Burton’s work and influence is more important than ever.
17. Planet of the Apes (2001): Even when a Burton film has issues there are usually some redeeming factors (see Darks Shadows’ amazing style) but, oh man, one really has to look hard to find something good in this disaster of a movie. Sure, the makeup...

At least once a month, Cinelinx will chose one director for an in-depth examination of the “signatures” that they leave behind in their work. With the release of Big Eyes this week, let’s examine the trademark style and calling signs of Tim Burton as director.
Burton went to college to study animation. His work there caught the eye of Disney and he was hired on as an animator. He worked on several projects before it became apparent that his style did not fit with what Disney wanted to do. He worked on several short film projects before catching the eye of Paul Reubens who offered Burton the opportunity to direct his first full length motion picture, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure (1985). That film was a success and led to Burton’s working relationship with Oingo Boingo frontman Danny Elfman. Burton’s next opportunity was 1988’s Beetlejuice, which was also...

From the Macra to The Mysterious Planet, Andrew finds the gold in oft-unloved Doctor Who episodes from across the decades...
For the show's fiftieth anniversary, Doctor Who Magazine ran a new poll ranking the 241 stories up to and including The Time Of The Doctor. The Twin Dilemma came last again, having done so in 2009 survey, and though it does have many faults, it isn't completely bad. Colin Baker blazes his way haughtily through it, and the story noticeably lacks energy when he's off screen. Perhaps it might have been marginally better just to have had the Sixth Doctor and Peri go to a Little Chef so he could complain about the service.
In the lower half of the poll (compiled by people rating all the stories out of ten) are some pretty good stories, or at least ones that arguably don't deserve to be there. We've therefore compiled a list...

When there’s no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth. As Cybermen. See what he did there? The Master is back, and has been working on this plot for Quite a long time. Some old friends return for the fight, we say goodbye (for now, anyway) to some others, and oh goodness, were there still surprises.

Kill The Moon poses the viewers with a challenging new dilemma. A thought-provoking problem, one that could have eternal repercussions lasting beyond the next millennium.
Is the moon really an egg?
See, here was us humble humans assuming that the moon was made of cheese. Cows would jump over it in books. Benoit and Hobson would take samples for the Moonbase crew sandwiches. And then along comes Kill The Moon with its planet-busting revelation – talk about not making an omelette without breaking a few eggs. There's enough egg here to feed a hungry Mr Strong from the Mr Men books.
Despite this iffy science, Kill The Moon is actually a massive return to form for the latest series of Doctor Who. What starts out as an Hinchcliffe horror homage turns into a moral debate about the ethics of changing the future. The real sting in the tail comes at the...

Today’s feature includes new details on Found Footage 3D and Mania, photos from Refuge and a poster from Fetish Factory, release dates announced for Skypemare, Soulmate, and The Inside, a trailer for When Black Birds Fly and Zombie Hood, and more:

Produced by Kim Henkel, co-creator of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Found Footage 3D tells the story of a group of filmmakers who set out to make “the first 3D found-footage horror film,” but find themselves in a found-footage horror film when the evil entity from their movie escapes into their behind-the-scenes footage.

Check out the latest Destiny trailer that showcases some new enemies of Mars.
The trailer shows off a little bit of the new enemies players will be facing when Destiny releases next month.
From Acitivision / Bungie : "What little we know of Mars may as well be a myth. We built a massive metropolis in the red dust. No one knows what remains of our lost age, now buried beneath the dunes. "
To me it makes it sound a bit more like the Moon map we got a little tease of in the beta. Several people had discovered the map had a whole new city under their feet. Sounds interesting!
Destiny releases on September 9th!

It was a quick shoot for Fetish Factory, writer/director Staci Layne Wilson's feature debut, which features a post-apocalyptic atmosphere blended with burlesque bawdiness. While the film goes through post, we have several stills to share straight from the set.
“We are wrapped on Fetish Factory, my 5-day feature film wonder-shoot for the fab Bbp,” said Wilson. “What a way to make a directorial debut: pinup girls, multiple costume changes, burlesque acts, singers, bands, claustrophobic ‘haunted house’ horror with a big cast, zombies, beauty and F/X makeup, bloody death scenes, stunts, and humor -- I think my next movie should be about one character in a phone booth or something… Whew!”
“Fetish Factory was more fun than I could have ever imagined,” added co-star/producer Jennifer Blanc-Biehn. “It’s a really exciting film featuring pinup models versus zombies. And I’m so proud of our cast. We pulled...

Bad news: Walt Disney World ride “It’s a Small World” is reportedly getting its own movie. Good news: Uh…
“Small World” has a nice enough premise — ride a brightly colored boat through the world’s countries, learning about their cultures through cutesy animatronic puppets and song. But as for movie potential? We’re not so sure about that.
Disney has pioneered the movies-based-on-rides trend, and so far, Disney rides are the only theme park rides to ever be turned into films. And while its Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has done surprisingly well, other ventures into ride-based movies...

First impressions are everything, which is why the art of the movie trailer has become the most vital tool in the film industry. A bad trailer can sour you on the best movie, but most of the time it’s the other way around. If Hollywood does anything right, it’s selling us a slow-cooked turd as delicious chocolate.
So here are Dread Central’s picks for great horror movie trailers that overshadowed their lesser films:
The Hills Have Eyes 2
Exciting trailers for bad movies are a dime a dozen, but what about the ones that are shot just for marketing? You won’t find a better example of an ad eclipsing a film than the brilliant teaser for The Hills Have Eyes 2. Completely wordless with only the sounds of dragging bodies and Devendra Banhart’s “Insect Eyes,” the teaser showed more artistry and directorial flare than anything in the actual movie.

Our upcoming network premiere of The Ghostmaker on Sunday really has us thinking. The movie's all about a couple of college kids who stumble upon an old coffin full of gears that allow for a transcendental experience. Anyone who lays down in the coffin can use it to walk through our world as ghosts. We love the idea, and started researching out-of-body experiences. There are so many stories of people having near death experiences and other similar out-of-body feelings that we had to dig deeper. Hoaxes, hallucinations, or something stranger? You decide.
What is an Out-of-Body experience?
Just like its title suggests, an Out-of-body experience, or OBE, is a feeling of leaving one's body and traveling away from it. Scientists account for this phenomenon as a sort of physical hallucination. Some believe this is actually the spirit leaving the body. While others think this is just an over-exaggerated dream. No matter the outcome,...

With Halloween in the air, we thought it would be fun to reach out to the horror genre's biggest and brightest stars - both legends in the industry and up-and-coming superstars - to ask them two quick questions: What's your biggest fear, and what's your favorite scary movie? Read on for the results!
Some of the results will make you laugh. Some will make you shiver... and some, well some are just too funny for words. Sit back and get ready to hear from the likes of Anne Rice, John Carpenter, Robert Englund, the "Ghost Adventures" crew, cast members from "The Walking Dead," George A. Romero, and many - Many - more. Who knows? You may even find some new movies you should check out or at least revisit.

If this post does anything I hope it will get those of you that never saw 2011's Pariah to give it a shot because it's great. Directed by Dee Rees and featuring a powerful performance from Adepero Oduye (who plays Eliza in 12 Years a Slave) and a surprising performance from Kim Wayans it narrowly missed my Top Ten of 2011. Oh, and if you need any more reason, it's only 87 minutes long so it won't take too much of your time. amz asin="0547572573" size="small"I mention all of this because Rees hasn't delivered anything new since, despite being attached to an HBO project with Viola Davis and a couple other projects that have yet to find their way to our eyeballs. However, she appears to have found yet another potential property to consider as Deadline reports she will get to work adapting Philip K. Dick's "Martian Time-Slip" a story...

Over the last hundred or so years, movies have been the world's number-one chosen form of popular entertainment. Our common language. Our shared culture experience. And so on, and so forth.
So it should come as no surprise that movies not only shape how we view the world but how the world actually operates. Like, in real life. Here are nine instances when the impact of a movie went beyond the screen and into our reality.
1. 'Casablanca' (1942) Helps Shape American Foreign Policy
Most people remember "Casablanca" as an expertly crafted romance driven by the standout performances of Ingrid Bergman, looking stunning, and Humphrey Bogart, doing his best impression of a jaded emo teenager. But beyond shared looks between the movie's beautiful A-list leads and the story's exotic backdrop, the romance that had captivated America was, in part, subtle war propaganda. The film's backdrop was, of course, right in...

Think about it, freedom from the daily grind, no bills to worry about, no boss to have a go at you and to top it off, you will enter the history books as a pioneer. Your name will sit next to Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong as someone who pushed humanity to the next level. Sounds enticing, but as with everything, there is a flip side to all the positives.

Alright everyone, this is it - our final update! We are now officially in the final stretch of the campaign (it ends this Saturday!!!) and we need your support more than ever before. So for our final update, we wanted to really bring out the big guns and actually reveal the opening sequence for the series, along with the theme song.

Needless to say, we are all super stoked how it all turned out, and we really feel it captures the ridiculously funny and insane vibe of There Goes Da Neighba'hood.

A bit of silliness now, as we look at the Doctor Who episodes that would work if the Doctor were Batman. We like silliness.
This feature contains spoilers.
There are not any stories that could survive the removal of the Doctor and the Tardis without large changes apart from Planet of the Ood (a curious episode, where the real hero dies in a giant brain and the Ood sing a pleasant warning to the Doctor). So, part of the stipulation here is that stories can be tweaked to remove the Tardis, and reworked so they can involve Batman without too many narrative hijinks.
Still, if you're chiefly written by Grant Morrison, I suppose your main character being in a different temporal-spatial location to the bulk of the story is but a minor hindrance. If you can summarise Superman's origin story in four panels...

Doctor Who fans can be an odd bunch at times (and by that I mean all the time), what's gold to one is dross to another. And when you think everyone is agreed on a genuine stinker (Timelash, for example), you'll find it has admirers in abundance. But what's here are some of the stories that, for whatever reason, get overlooked, underseen and, perhaps, undervalued - in no particular order.

Two-parters often get forgotten about (in classic Doctor Who at any rate) and this Peter Davison story, whilst perhaps best known to Who fans for a famous blooper featuring a horse, has some tremendous imagery and beautiful location shooting. Best of all is the villain of the piece, The Malus, who put the willies...

But what's here are some of the stories that, for whatever reason, get overlooked, underseen and, perhaps, undervalued - in no particular order.
The Awakening
Two-parters often get forgotten about (in classic Doctor Who at any rate) and this Peter Davison story, whilst perhaps best known to Who fans for a famous blooper featuring a horse, has some tremendous imagery and beautiful location shooting. Best of all is the villain of the piece, The Malus,...

Interview Duncan Bowles 19 Mar 2013 - 06:24
We had the unique opportunity to talk to composer Danny Elfman about working with Sam Raimi on Oz, Tim Burton, Batman, and much more...
There was something strangely appropriate about conducting an interview with Danny Elfman at midnight. It came as no surprise to be told he was more of a night person, since his darkly romantic melodies are as intrinsically linked to the gothic as the visual style of his long-time collaborator, Tim Burton. Elfman has, of course, scored most of Burton’s films, creating some magnificently eclectic music in the process, from Beetlejuice to Mars Attacks!
His unique style has led to recurring working relationships over the years with Burton, but also Ang Lee, Gus Van Sant and Sam Raimi. It was great news to fans of both Raimi and Elfman to hear that they were reuniting for Oz, as their work...

Did you know that, before being gobbled up by ZeniMax, Arkane Studios (of "Dishonored" fame) were working on a standalone Half-Life 2 episode called “Return to Ravenholm”? Me neither.
This is apparently old hat within the "Half-Life" community, but fan site ValveTime dug up some concept art and a few screenshots of the canceled, giving fans their first real look at the project.
The action in these screens mostly takes place indoors, which is strange: I remember a large, outdoor level, with gasoline traps in the town square and a final standoff on the rooftops of Ravenholm. In any case, ValveTime points out that the heads-up display includes an “Absorption” stat, without any real indication of what it might do or how it might change the core Half-Life 2 gameplay.
Almost a year ago, Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw explained how the game came to be and why it was...

Spiders Studios released new screenshots for "Mars War Logs" over the weekend, which is as good an excuse as any to take a look at the game. The developers are calling it a “short story” cyberpunk sci-fi action-rpg that takes place -- if you haven’t guessed -- on Mars.
It’s the distant future at a group of space-capitalists have a stranglehold on the water on Mars, making life difficult for the colonists living there. Roy Temperance is “a renegade with multiple talents,” who's taken it upon himself to enter the fray, presumably in opposition to Aurora, a water company that’s strong-armed his hometown with its army of Technomants.
These newest screens show a few snippets from Roy’s journey through the Shadowlair with a girl named Innocence, a young fugitive who helped Roy escape a Martian work-camp.

Star Trek is pretty much unique when it comes to fan-made movies and episodes that pay homage to the sci-fi series. Left alone by CBS and Paramount (as long as they don’t try to make money from them) fans build elaborate sets and even bring in recognisable Star Trek actors to produce work that is anything but amateur.
The latest hoping to go into production is Star Trek: Renegades, co-written by Jack Trevino and staring Walter Koenig, Tim Russ, Garrett Wang and Robert Picardo among others, names that will be familiar to any Star Trek fan.
Jack Trevino is no stranger to the world of Star Trek. Having written the hugely popular fan-made miniseries Star Trek: Of Gods And Men which stared a number of Star Trek actors including Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols. The series was awarded ‘Best Web Production 2008’ by SyFy Portal which is now Alpha Airlock.
