Damn you New York City traffic! Day one of the New York City Horror Film Festival, and you’re going to make me sit in two extra hours worth of traffic due to a disabled bus in the Lincoln Tunnel?! So are the trials and tribulations of a New Jersian, but you take the good with the bad, considering my refusal to walk into a film late and be the dick sitting down and asking the closest patron “So what did I miss?” Instead, I actually got to relax, meet a friend, grab a few pre-drinks, had a killer all beef burger infused with blue cheese crumbles and bacon, covered in frazzled onions and…Ok, sorry, getting distracted, New York City Horror Film Festival short films, right.
So, along with two full length feature films a night, audiences are also treated to a plethora of fantabulous horror shorts to set...

News out of Cannes reveals that The Reach is the latest Stephen King story to get a film adaptation. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Park Entertainment will be developing the film in the $12 -$14 million budget range and is currently looking for a director.
The short story was first published in 1981 as “Do the Dead Sing?” and is became more well known after it appeared in Stephen King’s horror collection Skeleton Crew in 1985, which also included stories such as The Mist, Survivor Type, and The Raft. The Reach follows Stella Flanders, the oldest person on Goat Island. She begins seeing dead residents of the island and decides to cross the reach, the body of water that separates the island from the mainland.
This is an early announcement, so there are no additional details at this time. We’ll keep an eye out for more information and will let readers...

Recently I was lucky enough to review the Dollar Baby Oroduction of Survivor Type from director Chris Ethridge and writer Jayson Palmer. The two, along with producers Toniet Gallego and Jeremy Frank, performed a near miracle by bringing this Stephen King short story to the screen. Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve had a soft spot in my cold black little heart for this story, and have always wondered when someone would tackle it. Now, here it is. After some lighthearted internet stalking, I was able to corner Ethridge and Palmer and convince them to shed some light on the production of this sharp little short.
MoreHorror: First off, I’d like to thank you again for taking the time to let me pester you. I know things have to be getting busy as Survivor Type rolls out, so I’ll get right to the point.

For almost thirty years now Stephen King has been granting up and comers the rights to some of his stories. We’ve all heard of his dollar babies, where he give filmmakers a chance to adapt his work for the princely price of a dollar and one copy of the flick. I was lucky enough to catch Frank Darabont’s first flick “The Woman in the Room” years ago, and it showed obvious talent in the making. The only rule King puts on the filmmakers is that they don’t release it commercially without his permission, that he’s given screen credit, and that his name isn’t put in the title unless he specifically gives his approval. I guess the title credit is his secret handshake to let fans know which of his children he likes the best.
