Horror Headlines: Tuesday April 9th, 2013

If you haven't caught VH1's "Wicked Single" I suggest you do yourself a favor and set aside this weekend to catch up on the first few episodes. It's like "The Jersey Shore" but a little drunker and way more ridiculous accents. I didn't know I could be this happy. I could hug every single one of you.

It looks like "Bates Motel" will continue to take reservations now that the show has been picked up for a second season by the folks at A&E. Season 2 won't hit the small tube until sometime in 2014 so enjoy what's left of season 1 while you can. This might be the most competent news item I've ever written.

Sad news indeed folks.Richard Brooker, best know for playing the role of Jason Voorhees in "Friday the 13th Part 3", passed away on Tuesday at the age of 58. Brooker was the first Jason to don the classic hockey mask and appeared in a number of documentaries over the years chronicling his time as the masked one.

So apparently if you sat through the end credits of the "Evil Dead" remake, which I didn't, you got to see some cool crap that I wont spoil here. But apparently there was plans for some even cooler crap to happen, which I will 100% try not to spoil right now. So I'm not saying someone survives all the demon happenings. But if someone did that someone might have gotten picked up by some folks driving down the road she was wondering down. She or he might have then passed out in the back seat and then possibly woken up as a deadite. That is if someone did make it through the night. I can neither deny nor confirm.

"Dracula Year Zero" is still apparently a movie. I know I'm just as surprised as you are. The latest on the film is that it's title is now simply "Dracula" and Luke Evans has been confirmed to play the lead in the film about the first vampire. Not going to lie, I feel like at this point in time if you name your film "Dracula" you're just asking to be lost in some sort of long IMDB search. You've kind of given up. Just name it "Vampire Movie" and get it over with.

In Real People News: 

I feel like anyone who walks through Time Square and thinks those weirdos dressed up as children's characters are anything but creepy deserve what they get but the NYC police think otherwise because a guy dressed as the Cookie Monster has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after he pushed around a kid and tried to force folks to give him money. Then again that Cookie Monster always seemed kind of insane so I'm not 100% sure this wasn't the real deal.

A Chicago area Grandmother is in hot water after she allegedly hired her Grandson to take out his Grandfather because she was "sick of him". I don't know why but that sentence just makes me tired. I feel like she was just so tired of picking up socks or something and just wanted to take a nap so she said "Hey Billy, do gam gam a solid and murder Grandpa ok? I just need to get some sleep."

Drinking beer I enjoy for good time and make relaxation for everyone. Disney World is my land favorite time for me. Horror movies? Yes. That’s me for a nutshell.
