Highway to ZOMBIE Hell

In the mood for some claw-scratching and spine-tingling action? Good, because FEARnet is bringing you the thriller Zombie Roadkill, premiering October 4, 2010. This terrifyingly funny series follows a group of college kids driving for a weekend getaway, but soon everything will take a dark turn.

This unfamiliar stretch of highway leads them to the woods where wronged woodland creatures have been reanimated as vengeful, murderous zombies. Luckily park ranger Chet Materson aka Thomas Haden Church, is among the living and on a mission to help these kids escape this dreadful nightmare.

You can catch this suspenseful series on FEARnet.com as of October 4th. The site will launch two episodes on the first day, with a new episode released each day the rest of the week.

You can check out a funny “PSA” starring Thomas Haden Church as a park ranger that gets attacked by a zombie squirrel here.

Sex and the Zombies

While we generally stick to topics of horror, ZRTNV enjoys a good comedy or chick flick that channels the undead. That is why we were particularly excited to hear the early buzz about the anticipated and severely over-advertised, "Sex and the City 2".

After sifting through some of the film's key art, I couldn't shake the persistent feeling of Déjà vu. "Sex" is looking like a sequel to my favorite 90's comedy, "Death Becomes Her".

In the words of Carrie, I couldn't help but wonder...is Manhattan's Fabulous Foursome looking less like fashionistas and more like Frankenstein in Jimmy Choos?

You tell me. Helen Sharp or Carrie Bradshaw?

Madeline Ashton or Samantha Jones?

Suddenly this weekends box office line-up is more appealing.

Juan of the Dead

First we had Dawn of the Dead, then we had Shaun of the Dead, two of my all time favorite films. You can imagine my excitement when I heard about Cuba's new zombie film, Juan of the Dead (or Juan de Los Muertos)

Below is a brief description of the film:

"a 40-year-old slacker named Juan notices that people are beginning to turn violent. As a zombie epidemic spreads through Havana, he decides to make a quick buck, offering to slay people's infected relatives. But as the zombie plague reaches national proportions Juan has to concentrate on his survival."

The film, set to begin filming in September, stars Alexis Diaz de Villegas as the zombie killing Juan.

5ta Avenida Producciones and La Zanfona Produccione are the two production companies for the Alejandro Brugues directed film.

The Soundtrack to My Life

Even if you're not a fan of horror flicks, chances are you're familiar with the some of the most popular musical themes. Who can forget Psycho’s high-pitched shrieking staccato strings in the shower scene, Halloween’s opening titles, and of course the Jaws theme?

FEARnet has put together a list of the 10 Greatest Horror Movie Music Themes, and I have to say they have a pretty solid collection.

Below are some of their picks, or you can visit their site for the full list:

Dawn of the Dead

Obviously, one of this site's favorite films of all time. There's not a single horror fan that doesn't know this zombie tune by heart.

Psycho

Every note and beat of Bernard Herrmann's score to Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece is pure poetry.

Halloween

There is no better example of music being intimately tied to a horror film's impact than the opening titles of this 1978 classic.

Andrea has been cast!

According to yesterday's Hollywood Reporter, AMC has tapped "The Sheild" actress, Laurie Holden to play Andrea - the sniper expert who falls for a much older man.

Two very different images popped up when we were doing a little research

We're guessing Holden will look a little more like the second for this series.

Steven Yeun has been added to the cast as well. There isn't much online about Yeun we did find this picture of him looking like he's had some zombie attack experiences.
