The Lost Boys wasn’t just a massive box office success, it was also a game-changer in vampire media, making the undead hip again and convincing a whole generation that they too could become juvenile vampire hunters (though I know a lot of people who wouldn’t mind joining Kiefer Sutherland’s punk-rock group of dreamy Nosferatu).

And as is often in the case in Hollywood, the film’s near-instant popularity meant that the studio was immediately interested in a follow-up, with director Joel Schumacher even coming up with a pitch titled “The Lost Girls” meant to follow a different tribe of female vampires. Of course, we all know that this project never materialized, and fans were forever left to wonder about what a proper Lost Boys sequel might look like. Or were they?

What a lot of horror fans don’t realize is that we actually did get not...

Delays are bound to happen when making movies, but something was clearly wrong when Amusement was postponed not once but twice in 2008. It wasn’t long before John Simpson’s American directorial debut was removed from the theatrical schedule altogether and then later dropped on DVD that following year. Although going from the big-screen to direct-to-video is an undeserved fate in some cases, this movie’s new destination was understandable. The unfavorable feedback from an early test screening — the word “disastrous” was tossed around — forced Warner Bros to salvage the potential flop now on its hands. Nevertheless, the negative consensus hasn’t stopped Amusement from amassing a small fan base over the years; its followers focus on this panned movie’s few merits rather than its many shortcomings.

At first, Amusement looks to be an anthology; this horror movie’s first three acts are well defined and almost function as standalone short features.

Jennifer Coolidge has revealed that she is willing to return in future American Pie movies in her own inimitable way. One of her early roles was an appearance in the original 1999 sex comedy American Pie, directed by Chris and Paul Weitz. She played the mother of Seann William Scott's rambunctious cad Steve Stifler, a woman whose appearance inspired the popularization of the term "Milf" and who eventually slept with her son's friend Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas). She would return to the role three times in each of the film's official sequels: 2001's American Pie 2, 2003's American Wedding, and 2012's American Reunion.

Last night, NBC aired The 80th Golden Globes, where Coolidge won a trophy for her supporting role on the HBO series The White Lotus.

During her acceptance speech, Coolidge thanked the people who kept her career alive with "cute little jobs" over the years, including Legally Blonde...

The “American Pie” franchise is one of the most popular and successful comedy franchises. The series spans nine movies and follows a group of friends navigating the highs and lows of teenage life.

From first kisses to losing their virginity, the “American Pie” movies capture the essence of being young and in love. And whether you’re a fan of the original cast or the newer additions, there’s something for everyone in this hilarious franchise.

Throughout the first film in the original series, Jim Levenstein (Jason Biggs) attempts to establish a connection with Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth), his schoolmate. Jim and three of his closest pals, Kevin Myers (Thomas Ian Nicholas), Paul Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), and Chris Ostreicher (Chris Klein), make a promise to lose their virginity before graduation.

“The American Pie Movie” series was a huge success and became an American cultural phenomenon. The series began with a...

Longtime listeners of our Corpse Club podcast may be aware that Patrick Bromley (founder of the excellent F This Movie! Podcast) is a diehard fan of 2009's The Hills Run Red, so we're especially thrilled that he's recorded a new audio commentary with director Dave Parker for the film's new Blu-ray release from Scream Factory.

Scheduled for a June 16th release, Scream Factory's The Hills Run Red Blu-ray includes a bunch of new bonus features in addition to the new Parker/Bromley commentary, and you can check out the full list and cover art below. To learn more, be sure to visit Scream Factory's website.

Brace yourselves. This list of the Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies is probably going to generate some howls of protest thanks to a rather major upset in the rankings. Frankly, one that surprised the hell out of us here at AfterElton.

But before we get to that, an introduction. A few weeks ago we asked AfterElton readers to submit up to ten of their favorite films by write-in vote. We conducted a similar poll several years ago, but a lot has happened culturally since then, and a number of worthy movies of gay interest have been released. We wanted to see how your list of favorites had changed.

We also wanted to expand our list to 100 from the top 50 we had done previously. We figured there were finally enough quality gay films to justify the expansion. And we wanted to break out gay documentaries onto their own list (You'll find the...

In 1982, controversial film director Wilson Wyler Concannon released his only film, The Hills Run Red. Because of its graphic depiction of sadism and murder, the film was quickly pulled from theatres. Film historians can find neither any prints of the film nor any of the cast and crew – only a poorly assembled teaser of the film.

Cut to the present day and fanatic horror fan and aspiring film-maker Tyler (Tad Hilgenbrink) is obsessed with finding the lost film, devoting all his free time to dissecting the trailer, director’s life and any other miniscule bit of information that his girlfriend Sarina (Janet Montgomery) feels neglected.

Tyler soon tracks down Concannon’s daughter Alexa (Sophie Monk) and convinces her, despite her hesitancy, to guide them to a possible copy of the film that may still be laying around in her dad’s old home out in the bush.

In the latest sequel for the franchise, Lost Boys: The Thirst brings the vampire-slaying Frog brothers back to the forefront, nearly 25 years after they were introduced to audiences in the first film, The Lost Boys, which went on to become a cult classic and pop culture phenomenon. Now, Edgar (Corey Feldman) and Alan Frog (Jamison Newlander) have joined forces to kick some alpha vampire butt and save a young boy from a gang of night crawlers in San Cazador, a sleepy Northern California town. These bloodsuckers are growing a vampire army by handing out The Thirst, a drug made out of vampire blood, at raves all across the country. To stop it, the Frog brothers will have to enter a battle that will test their strength and finally put an end to the undead.

At an interview to promote the October 12th DVD/Blu-ray release of the film, co-stars Corey Feldman...

If you had told me when I was eleven that 23 years later I'd be speaking to the Frog brothers, my little head would have exploded. Who would have thought the vampire killers from Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys would still be in business? Needless to say, they are - together again in Lost Boys: The Thirst ( review ), coming to DVD and Blu-Ray October 12. Earlier this month, I found myself sitting across from Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander (aka Edgar and Alan Frog) to discuss their reunion in the second sequel to spin off from the '87 film. Shock Till You Drop: How soon after Lost Boys: The Tribe wrapped did real talks of a third entry start? How much say did you have in the creative process? Corey Feldman: Tad Hilgenbrink is out! [laughs] I'm just kidding....

…with The Sound of Murder. (”Sound of Music” parody…thank you very much).

The Hills Run Red is distributed by Dark Castle Entertainment, and stars the very sexy Sophie Monk (Date Movie,The Legend of Awesomest Maximus), Tad Hilgenbrink (American Pie presents: Band Camp, Lost Boys 2:The Tribe) and William Sadler (Tv’s Roswell).

This movie is not to be confused with the movie, The Hills Have Eyes…in fact, this movie is probably a little bit better than that movie… yes I just said that! Thrr is based around a young film student who is in search of the finished product from the 90’s film The Hills Run Red (coincidence? Maybe!). In the early scenes of the movie we find out that a movie was made and everyone that was involved with the movie cannot be found, even the director of the movie has not been seen since the early 90’s.

Kill Devil Hills - The scary season has arrived.

In the spirit of movies that make you fear going to the movies comes The Hills Run Red on DVD. Tyler (Tad Hilgenbrinck) is a film geek obsessed with an ’80s film called The Hills Run Red. The movie was quickly yanked from theaters and no prints or videotapes of the film exist. He finds a clue to the movie by locating one of its stars played by Sophie Monk. After a lapdance, she agrees to take Tad and his two friends to the shooting location. Tad doesn’t realize there might be a sequel in production.

Star Tad Hilgenbrinck and director Dave Parker called up the Party Favors hotline to chat about their grisly horror film about a gruesome horror film recently released on DVD by Warner Premiere.

Tad has been in Epic Movie, Disaster Movie and Lost Boys: The Tribe,...

It’s the season when the leaves start to turn crimson—but here at Fangoria Radio, we’re way ahead of them. Tonight’s show, hosted by Debbie Rochon, Dee Snider and Fango editor Tony Timpone (airing live on Sirius Xm Stars satellite radio, Sirius channel 108/Xm channel 139, from 10 p.m.-1 a.m. Est, with a repeat immediately thereafter), will be visited by a host of bloodshedders, among them the reigning king of serial killers—even if he did die two sequels ago:

Last night, Dark Delicacies in Burbank, California celebrated the release of both Trick 'R Treat and The Hills Run Red with a special in-store signing. DVD's and CD soundtracks were available for both. (A graphic novel and Blu-Ray for Trick 'R Treat) In attendance for The Hills Run Red was director Dave Parker, star Tad Hilgenbrink, composer Frederik Wiedmann and producer Robert Burnett. For Trick 'R Treat , present was writer/director Michael Dougherty, composer Douglas Pipes and graphic novel artist Marc Andreyko. Check out a handful of pictures below!

A few months back, I reviewed a direct to DVD horror release called The Last Resort. Stuck for words about the film’s confusing plot and shaky logic, I started pontificating about the differences between this generation’s direct-to-dvd horror releases and their spiritual heirs, the low-budget sci-fi films of the fifties. I commented that something sincere had been lost between now and then, and now, with The Hills Run Red, I have had that idea exemplified in a way far more eloquent than I stated then. It’s not that the movie is especially good, because it isn’t, but in its aspirations towards wit and its slavish devotion to the slasher films of yesteryear, it reveals more about the gradual shift in horror’s values than an essay or review probably ever could.

According to the opening title graphics, The Hills Run Red came out in the early 1980s,...

Four months ago I attended an advance screening of The Hills Run Red, a Warner Premier straight-to-dvd film about a group of college kids in search of a cult director and his long-lost horror film of the same name. Long story short, I really didn't like it, but I found myself in the minority, so in the interest of fairness, I spent the next couple of months asking colleagues who saw it why they seemed to like it so much.

Because I never really got an answer that satisfied my lingering questions and criticisms, I decided to watch it again. And while the film's premise - obsessive horror geeks rediscovering a lost horror classic that was banished for being too intense - is a really, really terrific one, director Dave Parker's latest effort is not equal to that premise. A mess of half-considered genre conventions with only a few compelling ideas to connect them,...

We've all heard the story of the lost film; that old horror classic that mysteriously and tragically falls through the cracks never to be seen again. A handful of them, such as the often bereaved London After Midnight, go on to attain a legendary status that was likely only made possible by their very absence. But what if, what if, some old forgotten film did carry the whisper of something dark, something real, something fat, deadly, and wanting its mother. Some mysteries are best left sleeping.

Horror geek Tyler (Tad Hilgenbrink) has deaf ears for any such advice. The Hills Run Red is a lost film; a notorious slasher that disappeared without a trace after a very small screening many years ago. Hungry to gain some notoriety by finding the missing treasure, he tracks down the promiscuous and drugged out stripper daughter (Sophie Monk) of the film's director (William Sadler), sobers the girl up,...

.That is hardcore. That is hardcore!. A group of teens go in search of a legendary lost film and finds that instead of a fiction that the murderous killer is all too real. In 1982, Wilson Wyler Concannon (William Sadler) made a movie so shocking and horrific that it only played in several theaters before Concannon and his film disappeared. Only a battered trailer remains. The movie, The Hills Run Red, has become legend. Tyler (Tad Hilgenbrinck) is obsessed with finding the film. He tracks down Concannon.s junkie daughter Alexa (Sophie Monk) and weans her off heroin (in record time by the way). She appeared in the film as a child and is soon remembering bits...

The Hills Run Red (just out on DVD from Warner Premiere) is about the quest to track down a lost horror film of the same title, one supposedly so shocking that our protagonist is obsessed with witnessing its full, terrible vision. And yet this Hills has been issued in an R-rated cut only, with references on the audio commentary to scenes its creators wanted to include, but were too gruesome. Irony?

Nevertheless, there’s enough on view in Hills Run Red to push that R to its limits, and to justify its title. Before the plot even kicks in, we witness a young boy bloodily slicing up his own face before we’re introduced to aforementioned fright buff Tyler (Tad Hilgenbrinck, taking a giant step up from his previous Warner Premiere flick, Lost Boys: The Tribe). Having devoted himself to researching The Hills Run Red’s strange history, and seen...

Seattle – Dalton Trumbo was one of the biggest names in screenwriting who for the longest time wasn’t allowed to show his name on the screen. He won two Oscars, but wasn’t allowed to step onto the stage.

At the peak of his career in 1947, he was brought before the House Un-American Activities Committee to testify about communists in Hollywood films. Like other screenwriters before the Huac, he refused to answer the questions. Their decision to not name names got them blacklisted in the industry and sent to prison. After nearly a year behind bars, Dalton secretly returned to screenwriting. He used fake names and front writers on various project. It wasn’t till 1960 when his name accompanied Exodus and Spartacus that the blacklist was broken.

Trumbo is a documentary about the writer that was originally a play written by his son Christopher Trumbo. The play had actors reading...

Director Dave Parker just gave us the word that the official website for his new shocker The Hills Run Red is now live. Set for special-edition DVD release from Warner Home Video September 29, the David J. Schow-scripted movie follows a quartet of young people whose search for the origins of a legendary lost fright film leads them into dangerous and bloody territory.

The site, which you can see here, features the trailer and other video clips, photos, downloads and a blog by Tyler, the movie’s protagonist (played by Tad Hilgenbrink). Check out Fango #287, on sale this month, for a lengthy, exclusive chat with Parker, Schow, producer Robert Burnett and stars Hilgenbrink, Sophie Monk and Janet Montgomery. Pre-order the DVD right here.

Hollywood is a gluttonous beast, known for chewing up talent, processing it through her labyrinthine digestive track and depositing said talent, devoid of confidence, on her tarnished boulevards. Some filmmakers, however, can take their licks and bite back. Brush off the bullshit and set out to do what they were meant to do: Make movies. Strangely enough, this theme of determination is paralleled in the creation and the story of The Hills Run Red . Dark Castle and Warner Premiere's direct-to-dvd release (coming on September 29) tells of Tyler (Tad Hilgenbrink), a horror fan who sets out to find a complete cut of the titular film which is overshadowed with a notorious history. He chronicles his journey via video - with girlfriend Serina (Janet Montgomery), friend Lalo (Alex...

Back in April, Fango hosted a panel for The Hills Run Red at our Los Angeles Weekend of Horrors. The much-buzzed-about film has been called "Nasty as hell" by our own Tony Timpone - and Filmmaker/FX guru and Fango blogger Robert Hall (Laid To Rest) said that Hrr "is one of if not the best film you see this fall".

While we still don't have the exact date for it, Warner Premiere is expected to announce one shortly and our friend Joey Monda just hit us with the cover art.

In case you're wondering why the news updates were so scarce here yesterday it was because we were in La attending an industry screening for Dave Parker's The Hills Run Red. We do get to leave the office every now and again, ya know. It happens. I swear. Any way -- wow, was this one worth the trip!

For those unfamiliar with the movie (and I can assure you, you wont be for very long) let's take a look at a quick plot crunch!

Yes, the storyline is a little on the familiar side, but...

While an official event report is coming soon along with a photo gallery depicting the lunacy, we thought we'd bring you some quick and dirty details about three of the event's darkest offerings! What has Dread Central excited? Get ready for an earful!

Just about the entire staff descended upon the La Convention Center for Fangoria and Creation's latest powerhouse convention, and we were hungry for some entertainment. Well, booze too but that came later.

As expected some of the bigger movies (i.e., Drag Me to Hell) got lots of attention and were well received. But there were three smaller films stuck in between the chaos that we'd like to take this time to champion a bit. Mind you the following assessments are based upon short clips and/or trailers that were shown.

First up -- Adam Gierasch's remake of Night of the Demons. If I had any...

We're getting all settled in out here in L.A., and the finishing touches have been put on this weekend's schedule of events. Our buddy Ted from Creation just gave me the Revised schedule, which I've posted after the jump.

Earlier this week we pointed you in the direction of the Fearsome Fango Film Show Line-Up for the upcoming Los Angeles Weekend of Horrors running April 17-19, 2009. Now that the full event schedule is live, we thought we'd point out a few "choice cuts" (i.e., those panels that we here at Dread Central are either moderating, participating in, or just generally think you shouldn't miss).

Note: All guests/events listed are tentative. More stars are still joining the fun at this late stage, so expect lots of surprises all weekend long.

Wrestler/They Live star Roddy Piper and a ton more genre stars have joined the lineup of the fast approaching West Coast edition of Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors convention, to be held April 17-19 at the Los Angeles Convention Center (1201 South Figueroa).

A second sequel to the 1987 Joel Schumacher film The Lost Boys looks to be moving forward, with Blood Disgusting reporting veteran TV writer Evan Charnov has signed on to write the script. Just like the first sequel, Lost Boys: The Tribe, part three will be a straight to disc release. The site also says Corey Feldman will be back to play Edgar Frog as the flick is expected to focus on the vampire hunter character, more so than The Tribe. As for Corey Haim, who hits the big screen in April in Crank 2, Bd says it’s very unlikely that he’ll return. Moviehole is also reporting that Jamison Newlander will be back to play Alan Frog. Newlander appeared in The Tribe but his scenes were deleted. Moviehole sources claim this new flick is the “official return of the Frog brothers”. The original film centered on two young Arizonans...

The first story: Shelby (Laura Breckenridge) and her boyfriend Rob (Lost Boys: The Tribe’s Tad Hilgenbrink) are driving at night. Rob is behind the wheel, and has joined a convoy with two other vehicles to make better time.

Stopping at a gas station to refuel, Rob meets Tryton (May’s Kevin Gage), the driver of the 18-wheeler leading the way, and a father traveling with his family who is picking up the rear. As the trio hits the highway again, Shelby tells Rob that she saw a girl in the back of Tryton’s truck. Rob assures her that Tryton told him that he’s traveling alone. Then Shelby sees the girl in the back of the truck again—this time holding up a Help Me sign…

The second story: Tabitha (Satan’S Little Helper’s Katheryn Winnick) is babysitting her two nephews (Brennan and Preston Bailey). Everything seems...

Dave Parker is close to completing The Hills Run Red , a Dark Castle and Warner Premiere production that pulls him back into the cinematic horror fold. And although there's no release date yet , the MPAA has weighed in on his cut. Surprise, surprise...it got an R for "strong bloody horror violence and torture, grisly images, sexual content, nudity, language and some drug use."

DVD Links: Release Dates | New Dvds | Reviews | RSS Feed Paramount Blu-ray Extravaganza! Thanks to Comic Con my Blu-ray watching abilities were basically destroyed. I came home to several new Blu-ray discs that arrived in the time I was away and out of all of them eight of them hit the shelves today. Six of them I am going to detail here as they are catalog titles. The others I will get to in a second. The first one was Top Gun of which I reviewed on HD DVD (review here) and was not very kind to considering the HD DVD edition contained none of the features from the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD. Well, I am happy to say the Blu-ray comes with all the goodies (documentaries, music videos, commentaries, etc.) that I loved from the DVD. On top of that... included is a DTS soundtrack, a Huge step up from the HD DVD Dolby DigitalPlus.
