This Friday, the much praised “horror doc” CROPSEY begins its limited theatrical run at New York City’s IFC Center. Co-director Joshua Zeman recently spoke to Fango about the film and its long road to completion. Check out the first part of the video interview and find out when you can see it after the jump!

Some of the promotional materials for SPLICE have been selling it as a sex-monster romp in the SPECIES vein, and that does the movie a disservice. Director/co-writer Vincenzo Natali aims for something more ambitious here, a variation on the FRANKENSTEIN theme—he has even named his scientist protagonists Clive and Elsa.

As the June 13th premiere for year three approaches, you might want to watch this 11 1/2 minute look back at last season.

Production began today in Atlanta for AMC’s adaptation of the Robert Kirkman comic THE WALKING DEAD. The six-episode first season—written, produced and directed by THE MIST’s Frank Darabont—follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, traveling in search of a safe and secure home after a zombie apocalypse. And today, AMC released eight pictures of KNB EFX’s zombie makeup.

If there’s anything that the DVD era has taught film fans, it’s that where there’s a movie, there will be deleted scenes—moments that might be noteworthy in and of themselves but didn’t fit the director’s (or, just as often, the studio’s) vision of the piece. This is especially true on the documentary scene, where filmmakers routinely shoot double- or even triple-digit hours of footage that must be whittled down to a feature-length final product—and director Michael Stephenson (pictured) confirms that in crafting BEST WORST MOVIE, his chronicle of the TROLL 2 experience, some of the almost-best bits had to hit the cutting room floor.

We previously told you here about BEHIND THE WALLS, a supernatural thriller that reps France’s first entry in the current 3-D boom. Now word has come down that its leading lady has been cast.

If you dialed a wrong number and reached a bizarre message that rants about life and death, would you call back? The characters in JARRING do, and pay the consequences in a new psychochiller that sees its world premiere next week.

David Everitt, the third Editor of FANGORIA, who died May 7 of ALS (see obituary here), was a professional. That’s the highest praise I can give him: a true pro.

Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie seem like they could be family: two generations of macabre musical showmen with a fondness for heavy riffs and theatrical bombast. Cooper has even gone so far as to call Zombie his “grandson” in interviews, although the latter’s brand of fun B-movie bluster has never really lashed concerned parents into a froth of moral outrage the way Cooper’s subversive act and lyrics did during his heyday.
