Carnival of souls

* News from the Battlestar Galactica camp continues to roll out: This time it’s David Eick adapting Children of Men as a series. He says it will be less of a “war show” than the movie was and instead focus on the societal ramifications. This would have sounded more promising to me in a pre-Bionic Woman world, but we’ll see.

* The Viggo Mortensen–starring adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road is slated for a Thanksgiving release. Happy Turkey Day!

* Jason Adams has posted the debut short horror film from The Ruins director Carter Smith, Bugcrush, in its entirety.

* Steven Wintle of The Horror Blog is like totally wrong about Doomsday.

* But as a consolation prize he offers this week’s Horror Roundtable, about our favorite shout-outs to horror in non-horror settings. Tricky as Pinhead FTW!

Reminds me a bit of the drawing of David Bowie he did for me…

* Scientists have discovered jellyfish with 12-foot tentacles and two-feet-wide starfish…in Antarctica.
