Horror Headlines: Tuesday February 10th, 2009

"A Haunting in Connecticut" has been moved to the weekend of March 27th, pitting it directly against "Monsters Vs Aliens". The studio clearly underestimating the appeal a 3D film about monsters and aliens will have on horror fans.

"Casino Royale" director to possibly be tapped for "Birds" remake? Odd choice but given the action angle of the idea, I guess that sort of makes sense.

"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is apparently in the middle of a bidding war, with "Hollywood studios already bidding to turn the new book into a blockbuster movie." Sweet Jesus. That happened a bit fast, no?

Have Jason kill your friends! I have to admit to loving these horror virals of questionable taste. It always seems to come back to threatening someone's life. That's good old fashioned entertainment right there.

In Real People News: 

Can't get rid of your pesky online boyfriend? Just try the old "I'm an elite vampire hunter" excuse. Gets 'em every time.

"Some of the bigger ones are gone" gets the award for most unintentionally funny line in this story about a whole ton of sex toys being dumped on someone's lawn in the middle of the night.

Val Kilmer for New Mexico State Governor? Hell, he can't be bad as half the Governors in our country, and he'd be twice as hilarious. How can you go wrong?

On this day in history: 

1863: Midgets Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren married in a ceremony promoted and orchestrated by P.T. Barnum, reception tickets $75 (adjusted for inflation, $1250 in today's dollars). Commodore Nutt served as best man.
