Carnival of souls

* I’ve seen the news that after a gangbusters test screening Lionsgate is preserving The Midnight Meat Train‘s full meaty title and giving it an August 1st Stateside theatrical release everywhere today, but I’m sourcing it with Jason Adams just because the title of his post is easily the greatest thing I read all day.

* Here’s news about North American screenings of two highly touted French horror movies, Inside and Frontier(s); the latter, at least, will be coming to NYC.

* Entertainment Weekly goes yard on the Edward Norton vs. Marvel Studios Incredible Hulk spat. The fact that Norton and director Louis Leterrier appear to be on the same page would seem to refute the “Norton’s a prima donna who should shut up and just read his lines” school of analysis. (Via J.K. Parkin.)

* CRwM at And Now the Screaming Starts reviews the cheeseball killer-crocodile movie Primeval. Normally I wouldn’t care, but he kicks it off by recounting the incredible, true story upon which the film is based: a gigantic crocodile from Burundi, twice the size of normal adult males and with a suspected body count of three-hundred human victims, meaning it was killing them for sport rather than sustenance.

* If all the Watchmen does is give us Rorschach action figures to buy, it will already have achieved something. (Via Kevin Melrose.)

* Finally, good news, horror fans! The Supreme Court says we can start executing people again!

    Dude, I couldn’t stop giggling after I thought up the title of that post.

    Inside is on DVD now at least. I’m praying that Netflix will get it to me this week, because shit sounds good.
