American Horror Story: Coven | The teasers begin!

As you all ought to know, I loathed the last season of AHS. To me, if the showrunners wanted to run the series by theme each season, then they should have actually stuck to one "horror" theme! Sci-fi does not belong with asylum, folks. Not that it should never be done, but both genres are so rich in opportunity all on their own. 

Needless to say, I did not finish watching last season. Actually, I never got past the first episode... 

Anyway! Coven will absolutely have my attention when it airs on FX on Wednesday, October 9 @ 10pm. I grew up loving the witchy culture, from fact to fiction and everything in between. Bewitched to Sabrina, The Craft, Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown and even Bell, Book and Candle. (I could go on.)

Now I want to know, what do YOU think of this new teaser trailer? Are you excited for the new season?

AMC Fearfest begins Saturday, Oct. 13th!

My heart melts for AMC jumping aboard the Halloween programming wagon this year. And with the network's rise in horror-related content and geekery, it makes more sense than ever. Especially when you find out which AMC show-runner is hosting the television event: Kevin Smith! Already making a guest appearance on this season of Syfy's Face Off, Smith has been weaving his way in and out of the Halloween mediaverse this autumn.

I've posted the extensive lineup for AMC Fearfest below (in EST)--and it's the most impressive I've seen this season! For more details and film information, visit the AMC Fearfest website. (I thought it appropriate to include The Walking Dead below as well.)

Halloween in April: 'Nightmare' revamp opens tomorrow

Like you always hear me say (whether here or at ATasteofMyBrain), I loved the original so I'm awfully leery of this new thang.  In case you didn't know, A Nightmare on Elm Street was my man Johnny Depp's first gig as a young actor.  But I'm not here to tell you what I thought about the movie...this time.  I did, however, get a pretty cool email from GeekChicDaily.  (Yep, I get that.)  It gave me some interesting facts about the film franchise.  Check it out:

Elm Street Almanac

Five things to know about the Nightmare neighborhood

The Nightmare on Elm Street reboot opens tomorrow, but before you go stand in line for Freddy 2.0, here are some things to know about the franchise:

No. 1 The original idea for the films came when Nightmare creator Wes Craven read newspaper articles about three unrelated young boys who died while having bad dreams.

No. 2 The original Freddy, Robert Englund, was once detained by airport security when he tried to take his claws onto an airplane.

No. 3 Craven named his villain Freddy, after a bully who used to beat him up in school. Meanwhile, Krueger was an extension of “Krug,” the name of the killer in Craven’s first film The Last House on the Left.

No. 4 Freddy’s iconic red and green sweater was chosen because Craven had read that red and green were the two most difficult colors for the eye to process when they appear next to each other.

No. 5 The first Nightmare’s $1.2 million budget was so tight that, two weeks before its opening, a lab refused to release the film negatives because they hadn’t been paid. Similar financial concerns were in no way a problem for tomorrow’s reboot.

It's a Stretch! Saturdays: TREEVENGE!

From the self-proclaimed "World's #1 Halloween Website," HauntedHouse.com, comes TREEVENGE.  They recently tweeted it from thier Twitter account.  (Btw, you should "follow" mine ;) )

TREEVENGE is directed by Jason Eisener Jason Eisener and independent film maker from Canada who gained a bit of notoriety for his excellent "Hobo with a Shotgun" trailer he created for in a contest for the film GrindHouse. Watch his latest brilliant opus TREEVENGE below. Definitely NSFW.

I'm having some marital issues with my Mac right now.  I can't turn it on...  And my home desktop PC is a POS and the sound won't work.  LOVELY!  So, I'm posting this before I've even watched it.  Use discretion while watching it since I can't prewarn you about anything.  I hope it's awesome.

**I've since made up with my Mac and watched this.  You have to have the right kind of humor for this and a love for horror gore.  Luckily I have both!  I thought it was a little slow in the beginning but eventually worth the wait.  Completely effed up.  And, I now can't wait to go cut my tree down with the fam tomorrow at Linvilla Orchards!!**
