It's online already -- and a good thing too, because I'm sure everyone forgot to set their DVR/TIVO for Spike TV's Scream Awards. While a lot of this is footage recycled from the trailer, there are some new scenes that should make you squee in excitement, clips that weren't even glimpsed at San Diego Comic Con. Admittedly, that footage is beginning to fade from my memory, but the only scene I recognize having seen before is Nite Owl and Silk Spectre kissing before a mushroom cloud. Oh, it all looks so good. I will continue to hold out hope -- after all, the the test audiences did say the film as a whole was excellent.

Additionally, teasers for Friday the 13th and Twilight screened -- both we've collected and pasted after the jump.

Well, this is weird. For the bulk of my 30+ years on this planet, there's been no such thing as a "televised horror awards" presentation, and now, not 15 minutes removed from geeking out over the newly-announced Fangoria Chainsaw Awards nominations -- I come across the Spike TV Scream Awards nominations! Cool!

Now, with all due respect to Spike TV and their cool new concept, I gotta say the Fango Chainsaw noms are just a little bit cooler. But hey, there's no law that says the horror freaks can't hang their hat on TWO new awards presentations. Frankly I think we could use a few more enthusiastic celebrations of juicy genre filmmaking.

Anyway, the Screams seem to run a lot like the Chainsaws do: Check out all the categories and nominees (after the jump) and then head on over to SpikeTV.com and cast your own votes! This is particularly amusing for the horror nuts -- because we're nothing if not passionately opinionated on which horror flicks rock and which ones suck the proverbial egg. Spike TV broadcasts their Scream Awards on the evening of October 10th.

Spike TV has finally gotten around to confirming what has been unofficially known for quite some time now: they are in the process of creating a two hour made-for-TV movie of Marvel's Blade character, and have strong hopes of turning it into a regular series. They also (finally) confirm that actor Kirk "Sticky" Jones will be playing the title character. Apparently, this will be Spike TV's first official attempt at creating scripted content television. David S. Goyer, who wrote the screenplays for the Blade trilogy, as well as Batman Begins, will be the executive producer and well as co-writer for the script (with popular comic-book author Geoff Johns). Peter O'Fallon is being tapped to direct.

Anyone out there have thoughts on this one? I enjoyed the Blade flicks – while they may not be the height of cinema, they were certainly fun and action filled. Which is really what Spike TV's male dominated audience is going to be looking for, right?
