I hate it when someone comes up with an idea so simple and clever that I want to kick myself for not thinking of it first. Curse you, Adam Green! His next feature is called Frozen, and here's what it's about: Three poor folks who are stuck on a chair lift. High off the ground. In the freezing cold. Like for days. (Think on that premise for a few minutes. I think it's nifty. Like Open Water with hypothermia instead of sharks.) Frozen will be the first production for a company called A Bigger Boat, which is run by Peter Block, who had a real knack for horror films when he worked for Lionsgate. So this is good news all around.

Andy Fickman directs mostly family-type comedies, so what's he doing remaking RKO classics like The Body Snatcher and I Walked With a Zombie? Check out this interview to find out. Almost two years ago I wrote about a new horror flick called Amusement. Looks like it's finally ready for DVD. Cool: Bloody-D has a Top 13 Best Kills list -- complete with clips! Hey wow, Dark Castle to do a non-remake. And then just for fun let's watch the adorable Stacie Ponder go nutso on Amityville and Sleepaway Camp. Plus Saw is infinitely better than Psycho. This poll proves it. Anyone remember that awful horror flick Stay Alive? This poor sap does.

...oh, and you'll never guess who's playing Thor. Seriously, never.

P.S. Guess what's coming out on October 23rd, 2009. Here's a hint: Saw 6.

I have to be honest, it's been a long time since I saw the original horror Sleepaway Camp -- but I'll admit the ending managed to provide quite the education for a young girl in 1983. So you can't blame me for not even knowing there had been four sequels to the original tale of campers in peril and a fifth film titled Return to Sleepaway Camp was in production. Now, Bloody Disgusting reports that Camp writer-director Robert Hiltzik is already promising yet another sequel. Tentatively titled Sleepaway Camp Reunion, the film "follows the events of Return to Sleepaway Camp and focuses on the long-awaited return of Aunt Martha as well as Ricky and Angela Baker" but, there are not many more details than that at this point. There is also no word on whether Felissa Rose (who played Angela), or any of the original cast will be returning.

Since Return to Sleepaway Camp is still in production, the announcement of another film might seem a little premature, but I guess Hiltzik doesn't believe in too much of a good thing. Also, the Sleepaway series happens to be the only credit on his resume, so when he says he will be returning for more, you can probably believe him. The series has maintained a loyal following over the years in horror circles, although its certainly not in the A-list of the genre. Nevertheless, considering the rate at which the franchise is churning out the sequels, it probably won't be long until number seven and eight are on their way.
