I'm pretty excited for Silent Hill. I totally want my picture taken with a bunch of nurses standing around me! And alright, alright, Walking Dead is cool too, but its really just going to be a bunch of zombies.

Halloween Horror Nights 2009: Ripped From the Silver Screen!
I don't want to say that I called it, but I will, and I did. It was just revealed today that Halloween Horror Nights 2009 will be called "Ripped From the Silver Screen!". The three themes of houses that have been revealed so far are; Saw, The Wolfman, and Chucky from Child's Play. I can't wait to see what the other 4 or 5 themes will be, especially if the are all movie themed. They better not be redos of Freddy, Jason, and Leather Face again!

Halloween Horror Nights 2009
The dates for the Halloween Horror Nights 19 were announced today with out much fanfare. The web site shows no sign of a theme yet (I'm still sticking with my two house theme predictions) , but there is a pretty cool "Behind The Screams" section with a little sample of props, concept drawings, and videos from each of the previous 18 years of Halloween Horror Nights.
Here are the 23 dates for this year's
Sept. 25, 26,
Oct. 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30 & 31
See you there!

Apopka biz says Universal stole its plans for Halloween attractions

An Apopka entertainment-design company said Tuesday that it has sued Universal Orlando, its parent company and two movie studios, accusing them of stealing its concept for Halloween-themed attractions based on a trio of iconic horror movie characters.
In its 26-page complaint, ICC Design Inc. accuses Universal, NBC Universal, New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. of taking plans it had developed for theme-park attractions built around the characters Jason, Freddy Krueger and Leatherface and using them instead for the 2007 edition of "Halloween Horror Nights" at Universal's parks in Orlando and California.
ICC said it first approached New Line in February 2005 about plans to license the three characters for new theme-park attractions. It said it spent more than a year working on the concept with New Line and that the discussions ultimately broadened to include Universal executives, as well.
But it said those talks abruptly ended in November 2006 -- only a few months before New Line and Universal announced a deal to feature the three characters in Halloween Horror Nights.
"Through outright fraud, deception, misrepresentation and 'back-door' dealings, entertainment industry giants New Line Cinema, Universal Orlando and NBC misappropriated ICC's confidential and proprietary business proposal and used such to reap staggering profits," lawyers for ICC wrote in the 26-page lawsuit.
Universal dismissed the allegations.
"We consider this groundless, without merit, and we're going to vigorously defend our position," spokesman Tom Schroder said.

I Want My Mummy
I started my own little personal marathon of old Universal horror and Sci-Fi movies. I watched "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" (1943, Lon Chaney Jr. & Bela Lugosi), and "The Mummy" (1932, Boris Karloff) last night. I'm enjoying myself so far, hadn't seen the Mummy since I was a young teenager, and had never seen "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man". I can't wait till I'm finished with this math class I'm taking, so I have time for the more important things in life, like watching monster movies.
