Man, sifting through the curriculum vitae of director Paul W.S. Anderson is a disheartening affair. He was behind the lens for one of my bottom ten movies of all time, the truly wretched ALIEN VS. PREDATOR, among a number of other felonious filmic trespasses. So what is the point of promoting an upcoming appearance of his on this site? Well, Sunday, December 18 sees Anderson in person at the Toronto Underground Cinema to introduce the one film of his that I actually and genuinely love, the outer space gothic EVENT HORIZON. I’ll definitely be aboard the ship Sunday night, saluting skipper Laurence Fishburne and fleeing inflamed apparitions drawn from my subconscious phobias. How about you?
Just returned from the concrete wasteland known as Mississauga, where I took in a day’s shooting on the fifth entry to a certain horror video-game adaptation franchise. My lips are currently frozen shut by studio decree, but lots of goodies to come once I thaw!
Fango’s Major Domo Chris Alexander on the new issue! (Wait, is that really an INNOCENT BLOOD poster in the bottom corner of Chris’s lair? Yikes!)
Let’s double up today on Fango.com with part two of my IMMORTALS set visit, where director Tarsem finally speaks out on a topic that everyone else is too polite to breach, namely Mickey Rourke’s synthetic-looking face.

Fango Field Marshall Chris Alexander hyping the new issue with this scruffy bunker communique:
Statement: I unabashedly admit to loving everything about Elvira and the small-scale media empire she’s fashioned on her own tongue in cheek terms. Well… everything except her second feature ELVIRA’S HAUNTED HILLS, now re-released on DVD. Read my review at Fango.com:

Like everyone else on the planet, I’m a huge fan of director Guillermo Del Toro, and his lyrical, engrossing fantasies (Yes, even MIMIC). Thus, I’m excited for my next couple of days: I’ll be front and centre for Del Toro’s appearance tonight at the Bell Lightbox, then it’s off to the set of a new creepout he’s producing to interview the man himself. Look for my coverage of the Lightbox event very 
shortly!
As pretty much every recent theatrical horror offering flounders and drowns upon its release (INSIDIOUS excepted), it’s safe to say that horror now lives on T.V. THE WALKING DEAD season two premiered Sunday night on AMC, demolishing its own lofty ratings records and continuing to out-gore R-rated feature films with another astonishingly nasty sequence by Greg Nicotero and co. This time, viewers were treated to a zombie vivisection and sifting through of stomach contents (think mashed potatoes mixed with motor oil). Stories of THE WALKING DEAD’s executive upheaval leading up to now have been plentiful and depressing, so here’s hoping the show can shamble past the controversy and keep network nastiness alive. Based on the season two premiere, they’re off to a bit
ing start.
