This week we posted America Under Communism, a propaganda comic about life in Soviet America. Here's If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?, probably the only evangelical Christian grindhouse horror movie ever made about life in Commie America. More »

Director Giuliano Carnimeo's 1983 post-apocalyptic flick Exterminators of the Year 3000 may seem like a Mad Max clone at first, but its criminally inept production values elevate it to cult nirvana. Also, it has the most brutal trailer ever made! More »

The "Mexploitation" action flick — which sprang from one of Grindhouse's fake trailers — will get both a prequel comic and an ongoing series from IDW starting in September. Awesome. The only problem: They picked the wrong Grindhouse character. More »

Strap on your topless suspenders and gas masks, Project Pure Wolf is getting it's own comic book. You may remember these busty German broads as one of the fake trailers that aired during Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse double feature. According to Rob Zomibie's myspace blog the Werewolf Women of the S.S. shall be splattered across the panels of an upcoming comic book, but no news on who will be writing, illustrating or even the publisher. But hopefully we can finally get to the bottom of Nicolas Cage's crazy cameo as Fu Manchu. Click through for the original trailer and one more trailer that begs for a full length feature. More »

Stop listening to those rumors that Robert Rodriguez's Barbarella remake is failing to achieve escape velocity. Rose McGowan, who's set to step into Jane Fonda's go-go boots, says the movie is much further along than you realize. Not only is she signed up, but a lot of the pre-production work is done, including the costumes and a lot of the sets — including part of Barbarella's spaceship. "I've got part of a spaceship built for me!" she exults. (Dear readers: please send us pics of those sets. Thanks.) The only wrinkle: Barbarella wouldn't be able to finish shooting by June, when the actors' strike is supposed to start. Image by Z. Tomaszewski/WENN. [MTV Movies] More »
