Says Yale Daily News: The Multiverse Undergraduate Fantasy And Science-fiction Association (Mufasa) sculpted a snow dalek today on Old Campus. A dalek is a genetically mutated extraterrestrial from the BBC science fiction television series "Doctor Who." The snow creature, like its television doppelgänger, displayed a villainous robotic exterior with nobs and dials carved in the snow, which Mufasa founder and president Amymarie Bartholomew '13 said could not be even slightly misshaped, as daleks are notoriously “obsessed with perfection.” Bartholomew said ten group members created the dalek in the three hours after a group dinner, adding that the cone-shaped snow creatures are common in "Doctor Who’s" native Britain. “We made a lot of good jokes about daleks and science fiction in general,” Bartholomew said, adding that the group discussion such science fiction questions as whether their dalek could take on a borg (a Star Trek villain). “The likelihood that any...

Spider-man director Sam Raimi is to produce a horror movie called Refuge about a Yeti terrorising a remote town.
British director Corin Hardy will helm the project, based on a script by British writer Tom De Ville, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Raimi's Ghost House Pictures has agreed to produce the movie for independent film studio Mandate Pictures.
The Yeti - also called the Abominable Snowman - is a mythical apeman native to the Himalayas. The creature is the equivalent of North America's Bigfoot or Sasquatch.
It won't be the screen debut for the Yeti. Several of the creatures were in last year's The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and it was also seen in 1954's The Snow Creature, 1957's The Abominable Snowman and in the animated film Monsters Inc.
Many movies and TV shows have featured Bigfoot. The excellent TV movie Snowbeast, from 1977, featured a man-eating, Bigfoot-like creature...
