ParaNorman Star Mailed in Zombie Coffin

The good folks at the animation studio Laika recently sent out a very cool promotional item for their upcoming anticipated release, “Paranorman”. NotCot, along with other select recipients, received this little gem, which consisted of a wooden crate with the words, “Blithe Hollow Cemetery”, burned into the surface. Once the lid was pried up, it revealed a bed of mossy grass with a tiny shovel perched on top. When the topmost layer was removed, the greenish dirt lay beneath, peppered throughout with a small witch… Read More »

Ethan Hawke plays a crime writer who moves his family to new a house in hopes of writing a successful novel.

Dead Man’s Hand

Black aces and eights. Wild Bill Hickok was in the middle of a hand of poker when he was shot at Nuttal & Mann’s Saloon No. 10 in Deadwood, in the Black Hills, Dakota Territory. Wild Bill Hickok was a larger-than-life legendary gunman, sometime outlaw, sometime lawman, sometime show shooter, and regular professional gambler. There is remarkably heated debate among historians over what Wild Bill Hickock’s fifth card was or if he even perhaps had discarded it and had yet to draw a new one… Read More »
Children of the In-Between Art Book

Delightfully spooky Jodee Taylah is an award-winning artist and illustrator. With the help of Australia’s Love of Books, she has just published a book of her dark drawings. She says her work is “a blend of the fantastical and creepy loveliness” and she is “inspired by stormy days, unusual landscapes, antiques and pocket-watches”. Appealingly gothic art. A lavishly illustrated book of horrors, Children of the In-between is more than just a picture book. This is a journey you’ll be dying to go on. 68 pages… Read More »
House at the End of the Street

House at the End of the Street stars Jennifer Lawrence, who you may recall from Huger Games, playing a friendly cute girl who meets a boy in a haunted house. What could possibly go wrong?
Hotel Transylvania

Maybe I’m just not in a scary horror movie mood, but Hotel Transylvania looks like a lot of fun. In this animated 3-d monster story, Count Dracula (Adam Sandler) is trying to shelter his Goth babe daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) from horrible human beings. I do love a good monster movie when it’s done from the monster’s perspective. I even just wasted about fifteen minutes playing Monster Match on the official Hotel Transylvania website. The voice cast also includes Kevin James, Steve Buscemi, Andy Samberg,… Read More »
Resident Evil: Retribution

I’m very excited for the release of Resident Evil: Retribution. Sure, it’s probably not the scariest movie ever written up here, but surely there are dark forces at work when world wide legions of flesh eating undead come in to play.
The Possession

Due to be release at the end of August from Lionsgate, The Possession looks to be another creepy entry into the Demons possessing cute young girls sub-genre. I have to admit the trailer makes this one look like a fun watch. rather than going for ominous quiet stares and such, The Possession looks to be a little more action oriented, with some really cool special effects. I particularly liked the fingers poking out of her throat. That’s just weird, which is exactly what I want… Read More »
