In addition to the BROTHER BLOOD signing with author Donald Glut that we told you about here, Dark Delicacies in Burbank, CA (4213 W. Burbank) will be hosting a couple of other events that should be of interest to Fango fans.

The DARK NIGHT returns! VCI Entertainment announced that it will be releasing the highly anticipated and long overdue DVD of the extremely creepy TV movie DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND’s Tim Burton will be directing another 3-D project: a stop-motion animated film of THE ADDAMS FAMILY inspired by Charles Addams’ original cartoons.

A new trailer just hit the web the other day for a clash of the horror-movie titans to rival FREDDY VS. JASON and ALIEN VS. PREDATOR: KARL THE BUTCHER VS. AXE! The trailer’s not safe for work and even its new title isn’t either, so click past the jump for more…

Sadly, there are too few examples of blaxploitation and horror colliding, which is why genre fans should be excited about the release of BROTHER BLOOD, a 1969 novel from author/filmmaker Donald F. Glut (DINOSAUR VALLEY GIRLS, THE MUMMY’S KISS, BLOOD SCARAB, etc.) that has previously gone unpublished in the United States.

The Syfy channel has announced its gargantuan schedule of original movies and miniseries slated to air over the course of 2010. Featuring giant animals, giant hybrids of animals, deadly monsters, evil witches and multiple visits to the future, the next year’s titles shouldn’t disappoint in bringing home everything you’ve come to love about the channel’s programming.

Fans of horror novelists John Skipp and Craig Spector have been waiting a couple of years now to hear when they’ll be able to see ANIMALS, the film adaptation of the duo’s novel. Now, word has finally come down that it’ll go straight to DVD this summer.

For horror fans, the first reaction to issue #1 of Scott Snyder’s AMERICAN VAMPIRE is the sigh of relief they’ll experience as they realize it’s a far cry from the bloodsucking bandwagon most of Hollywood finds itself on. Once they’ve happily exhaled though, the second thought should be, “This is a damn fine comic.”

Set in a near future where people can “lease” artificial organs, but run into big, bloody trouble if they can’t keep up their payments, Universal’s REPO MEN is the first feature by director Miguel Sapochnik. The filmmaker recently chatted with Fango about the experience, why he hates good movies with lousy third acts and how AVATAR blew him away.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sigourney Weaver has joined the cast of VAMPS, a bloodsucker comedy to be directed by Amy Heckerling. The actress beloved by genre fans for the ALIEN movies will play Ciccerus, a vampire queen.
