Horror Headlines: Wednesday July 7th, 2010

Universal Studios had planned a nifty little series of horror movies based on the stories of M. Night Shyamalan, the first of which was to be titled "The Night Chronicles: Devil". With the rash of reviews coming in after Shyamalan's live action "Last Airbender" outing, the studio has decided to axe "The Night Chronicles" from the title.

If for some reason you were hoping to see Shannon Doherty return for the upcoming "Scream IV", I'm here to dash your hopes and reassure you that this is good news; Dimension Films has confirmed that Shannon and Rachel McAdams will not be appearing in the new feature. Too bad, so sad.

Atom.com is a little tired of this whole "Twilight" craze and their deconstruction of our beloved vampires and werewolves, so they've opened up a channel called simply; "Twilight: For Guys". Filled with shorts that feature more manly creatures and scantily clad cheerleaders,... at least a step in the right direction.

In Real People News: 

This poor 91 year old Pennsylvania woman was so bereft after the death of her husband and twin sister, she had their embalmed corpses dug up and moved into her home so she could visit with them every day. In response, the senior citizen is quoted: "I don't handle death very well". You don't say.

Conservationists found an injured Peregrine Falcon in the road near Guernsey. They're pretty positive that the bird was injured when a seagull barfed on it. And you thought flying poop was a bird's deadliest weapon.
