Fangoria is hosting a free screening of "Trailer Park of Terror" on Friday, October 3rd at 7:00 pm in New York City at Manhattan's Two Boots Pioneer Theater.

Based on the Imperium Comics series of the same name, "Trailer Park" tells the story of six troubled teens, along with their chaperone, who are returning from a character building exercise in the mountains. Their bus crashes in a severe storm, causing them to seek shelter in the middle of nowhere. Instead of shelter, they find terror in the form of Norma and her brood of undead trailer trash.

Optimum Releasing reminds us that the new British thriller, "Eden Lake," will be in UK theatres September 12th. "Eden Lake" was penned by James Watkins, writer of "My Little Eye" and "Descent 2." (There was a "Descent 2?") This is Watkins directorial debut.

Some of you may have seen this before, those that haven't are in for a treat. Presented for your amusement, the claymation gorefest, "Chainsaw Maid."

"Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!," the original Strippers vs Zombies movie, will be released on DVD September 9th. The DVD will also be available for rent at Netflix and Blockbuster.

The plot deals with a group of zombies that were created when a drug experiment goes a little awry. The saviors of mankind to fight the flesh eating monsters, a group of exotic dancers cornered in a strip club. Sounds like a can't miss story to me.

DVD extras include a "Making of" featurette, a blooper reel, an extended 3D Opening, and commentary by Jason M. Murphy (director) and Tony Giordano (writer.)

Horror fans will invade Toronto this weekend as "Rue Morgue" magazine puts on their Festival of Fear Horror Expo at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. And it would seem they have pulled out all the stops.

Shooting is set to begin next month on the SciFi Channel remake of "Children of the Corn." The film is slated to premiere in the states on the SciFi Channel and in European theatres in 2009.

The film is being helmed by Donald Borchers, who was one of the producers of the original version. Borchers takes on the daunting tasks of writing, directing and producing the remake. And he promises to make this version truer to the Stephen King novella on which these films are based.
