'Army Of Darkness' Gets A Video Game And 50 Cent Joins 'Odd Thomas' In This Week's Horror Bites

Posted 5/19/11 4:51 pm EST by in Horror Bites, News


50 CentOddballs and weirdos populate this week's Horror Bites. Some are living large (1,200 pounds to be exact), and others are blind as a bat, but Bruce Campbell (and his chin) remains horror's eternal hero and keeps things light with a new game to play.

50 Cent takes on Satan in a new based-on-the-book movie. The rapper/actor plays a blind DJ and will be starring alongside upcoming "Fright Night" actor Anton Yelchin for this tale originally penned by Dean Koontz.

An actor from "Robot Chicken" is gaining several hundred pounds for a role in David Arquette's "Glutton," which sounds like shades of David Fincher's creepy "Se7en." A family moves into a haunted house thanks to a "hauntrepreneur's" recommendation. Meanwhile, Freddy Krueger will be howling alongside strippers in a new movie that wins the award for most obvious film title ever.

Take a bite out of this week's horror news after the jump.

'Scream 4' Secrets: The Extraordinary Lengths The Cast Went Through To Prevent Spoilers

Posted 4/14/11 4:45 pm EST by in Commentary, Interviews, Video


Every movie depends on secrecy to a degree, but the "Scream" franchise hinges upon it entirely. If you go into your first screening knowing who the killer is, there's no question that you're missing out on some of the wonder that Wes Craven and his team have in store for you.

"Scream 4" hits theaters tonight at midnight, and thankfully, the biggest secrets of the film remain largely unspoiled online and elsewhere. It's actually not surprising that Dimension has been able to keep a lid on things for so long — because not even the cast of the movie themselves were allowed to read a full "Scream 4" script in order to prevent any and all possible leaks.

After the jump, hear the enormous lengths that the "Scream" team went through to keep their secrets from the actors themselves.

'SCREAM 4' GUEST BLOG: Wes Craven On The Horror Sequel's New And Returning Cast Members

Posted 4/5/11 4:00 pm EST by in Casting Call, Guest Bloggers


Scream 4As we told you yesterday, "Scream 4" director Wes Craven is serving as the guest editor of MTV Movies Blog all week long, sharing insight into what went into creating the latest "Scream" movie and his feelings on how the horror genre as a whole has progressed over the years. In other words, if you like scary movies, this is the place to be.

Today, we're diving into one of the most essential ingredients for any movie, "Scream" or otherwise — the cast. While the first three outings of Craven's genre-defying slasher series relied quite heavily on three central figures — Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and Officer Dewey Riley (David Arquette) — this latest round needed some new blood to spill as well.

To that end, Craven and his team recruited an eclectic mix of young up-and-comers like Emma Roberts and Nico Tortorella, as well as some familiar faces like Adam Brody and Anthony Anderson.

'Scream 4' Photo: David Arquette Is In Danger

Posted 3/18/11 1:45 pm EST by in Photos, Second Take


You've made it this far, Dewey, but can you go four for four?

If we're being honest, we're starting to worry about Woodsboro's favorite law man. "Scream" protagonist Dwight "Dewey" Riley has survived his fair share of encounters with the nefarious Ghostface, but can he live through a fourth round against the masked serial killer? If this latest photo from "Scream 4" is any indication, Dewey may have finally met his match.

After the jump, check out the three reasons why we're growing increasingly weary about Dewey's survival odds!

'Scream 4' Photos Reveal One Of The Film's Kills

Posted 3/16/11 11:29 am EST by in Photos, Second Take


Ghost Face is at it again, and some new photos released from "Scream 4" show us that things are going to be as bloody as ever.

The "Scream 4" official Facebook page uploaded some new photos from the upcoming sequel, and needless to say there are a lot of knives, shocked faces and ghost masks floating around in them. The movie, which hits theaters on April 15, is set 10 years after the previous three "Scream" films, and that means 10 years worth of increasingly inventive kills from our dear Ghost Face.

At least one of those kills is shown rather graphically in these photos, so if your stomach can't take it or if you want to keep yourself spoiler-free for the flick, we suggest you skip. But for those of you as curious as we are, click on the photo above to see all of the new "Scream" photos, and head past the jump for our analysis!

New 'Scream 4' Trailer: Hayden Panettiere, Emma Roberts & Some Familiar Faces Battle Ghostface

Posted 1/21/11 10:46 am EST by in Trailers, Video


Scream 4If you're not yet excited for "Scream 4," you should probably started getting pumped right about now. Dimension Films has released a new trailer for the upcoming horror satire, and it definitely gives a better feel for what we can expect than the previous teaser did.

The best parts of the trailer come when it pokes fun at all the horror tropes of the past 10 years. For instance, when Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette) won't tell his wife, hard-nosed reporter Gale Weathers-Riley (Courtney Cox), what's going on, she responds that his "classified information" is already all over the Internet. Ghostface challenges newcomer Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere) to name a remake of a classic horror film, and before he can finish his question she starts spouting out a dozen films. Oh, and apparently virgins can die now. Hit the jump to watch the trailer! Read More...

The OFFICIAL 'Scream 4' Trailer Is Here With Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox And Some New Horror Rules

Posted 10/19/10 2:15 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Trailers, Video


Bootlegs... we don't need no stinkin' bootlegs. One day after a grainy version of the "Scream 4" teaser trailer (shot with a mobile phone at Saturday's taping of Spike's 2010 Scream Awards, where the trailer debuted) hit the Interwebs, a pristine official version has emerged for the world's viewing pleasure. In addition to being astronomically easier on the eyes, the new video offers additional footage not seen in the leaked clip and showcases beloved "Scream" regulars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette and Ghostface, as well as an eager crop of franchise newbies such as Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere and Rory Culkin.

Seeing as it's been 10 years since a new "Scream" film graced the silver screen, Culkin's character is kind enough to tell fans how the rules of horror flicks have changed in the interim. For starters, "the kill has to be, like, way more extreme" (cue screaming woman plummeting to her demise atop a news truck). Also, virgins aren't safe (cut to Ghostface chasing scantily clad virgin around her bedroom). And, as the bootleg "Scream 4" trailer proves, everything these days is caught on tape, so the killer should be filming his handiwork (see Courteney Cox discover a camcorder just prior to a run-in with Mr. Ghostface).

Courteney Cox And David Arquette Reunite (With Neve Campbell) In 'Scream 4' Photo

Posted 10/14/10 5:49 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, News, Photos


Things aren't going so peachy for Courteney Cox and David Arquette in real life, and it looks like the same holds true for their "Scream" alter-egos Gale and Dewey.

E! Online has debuted the first photo from the "Scream 4," and it shows the trio of Cox, Arquette and Neve Campbell, a.k.a. "Scream" queen Sidney Prescott, reunited for the first installment in the franchise since 2000. We're not sure what's got them looking spooked, but safe money is that it has something to do with a certain Ghostface Killer.

Scream 4

The photo hits the Web just a few days before Arquette and Campbell are set to introduce brand-new "Scream 4" footage at Spike's 2010 Scream Awards, which will tape on Saturday and air Tuesday night. Read More...

Wes Craven Dishes On 'Scream 4' And Possibility Of New Trilogy

Posted 10/8/10 11:26 am EST by in Interviews, News, Video


There has been no dearth of "Scream 4" casting news these past few months, with a steady stream of young stars -- Emma Roberts, Adam Brody, Hayden Panettiere, Nico Tortorella, Erik Knudsen, Marley Shelton and Rory Culkin -- lining up alongside series regulars Courteney Cox and David Arquette to fight for their lives (in most cases futilely) in the face of a new spate of Ghostface killings.

In a recent chat with MTV News to discuss his 3-D supernatural thriller "My Soul to Take" (in theaters today), "Scream 4" director Wes Craven gave us a rundown of the fourth installment's plot and revealed whether those new "Scream" trilogy rumors are true.

"The studio wants to be very, very secretive about it," Craven admitted. "I think it's kind of known that Neve is returning to her hometown for a short visit, and all hell breaks loose. But there's also a whole cast of new characters -- there's some very, very interesting kids." Read More...
