You know, sometimes you just want to get your hands on a studio executive and shake them until they see sense. Straight from the 'why bother?' files, Bloody Disgusting has received a tip that Hostel producer Scott Spiegel has been tapped to direct the third installment of the horror series. Not only would Spiegel be behind the camera for the flick, but he would also be in charge of writing the script. Even though I might not be the biggest fan of Eli Roth or Hostel, I do know one thing: if you aren't going to do something right, don't do it at all.

After the release of Hostel II, it became clear that Roth had no plans on torturing tourists again in the near future, and fans of the series were given the bad news that a third film could be a straight-to-DVD affair. At least fans can take solace in the fact that Spiegel produced the first two films, and has solid horror cred, so at least he knows his way around some blood-spatter. Spiegel's deal has not been confirmed yet, so stay tuned to Cinematical for any updates that come our way.

What do you think? Should Hostel continue without Roth? Or, is the series better off as the sole property of Roth's sick imagination?

Deadites weren't the only thing that Bruce Campbell fought in that good, scary year of 1981. Aside from the body-stealing buggers and horny trees, Campbell and his friends were attacked by the scariest machine to hit the grass -- a particularly nasty Toro lawnmower. Oh yes, if you haven't heard about this before, he produced and co-starred in Josh Becker and Evil Dead II co-writer Scott Spiegel's short film called Toro. Toro. Toro!

While being used to mow a lawn at a cemetery, the lawnmower gets possessed and starts wreaking havoc on a town -- destroying shoes, people, and a particularly cream-pie-laden lawn party. This is the true Lawnmower Man. It's simple, goofy, and so very wonderfully '80s. It's also beyond me that Campbell hasn't made a lucrative career taking on roles as military men. Have you ever seen such depth brought to a role?! Enjoy!
