Last night's Being Human featured a lot of talk, and not a lot of supernatural walk. Until the very end. Thank goodness for that. Each character (well not really Josh, but a pair of new werewolves, so that counts) went off on a supernatural binge. Which we've happily grabbed and posted, so you can enjoy it as well. Plus werewolf cocaine? We're listening. More »

Without a doubt, the most underrated ghost movie on this planet is the delightful comedy/horror flick High Spirits.

Everybody thinks that Woman In Black, the old-fashioned ghost story featuring Daniel Radcliffe (AKA Harry Potter), is about Edwardian England. But in fact, it's about the 1960s - at least stylistically. Full of silly plot devices, hyperbolically drawn characters, and menacing Victorian geegaws, this movie feels exactly like a Hammer classic from the UK studio's heyday in the 60s. But sadly there are no sexy Christopher Lee scenes, or lesbotic vampires lurking in the shadows. Hammer's first gothic horror film in decades is actually closer to Scooby Doo than Taste the Blood of Dracula. More »

Anyone can tell a ghost story. Just throw together a lonely stretch of road, a couple of idiotic teens, and a disappearing hitchhiker. It's harder to make a ghost story that's drenched in historical significance, is clothing-optional, and ends with a Churchillian sting. But it happened. Supposedly. More »

Tim Burton's Beetlejuice is one of the world's most perfect movies, but does it really need an additional installment? Pride and Prejudice and Zombies author Seth Grahame-Smith apparently thinks so, and he's developing a new version with his producing partner David Katzenberg (son of Jeff). The new Beetlejuice film, which Deadline describes as Beetlejuice 2, is not a remake — rather, it's a reboot that advances the story. Whatever that means. This reboot/sequel is reportedly part of a new two-year production deal that Grahame-Smith and Katzenberg signed with Warner Bros. [Deadline] More »
