Fearnet.com offers an interview with Glenn McQuad, discussing his horror-comedy, I SELL THE DEAD – a sort of affectionate tribute to old-fashioned, fog-bound horror movies. The film, which is currently playing at festivals, stars Ron Perlman (HELLBOY), Angus Scrimm (PHANTASM), and Larry Fessenden (HABIT). Describing his approach to mixing genres, McQuaid says:

I love films like Piranha and The Howling, films with a good mix of laughs and scares. Joe Dante has always been an influence, as have people like Paul Bartel and John Landis, so I suppose it’s no surprise I mixed comedy with horror. Though in fairness I don’t think ISTD will scare anybody. It’s more of a comedy set in a world we normally associate with the horror genre.

Fangoria reviews NIGHTMARE. They like it, but they think the strange Lynchian tone may put off viewers who don’t like weird movies.

Examiner.com’s Andy Williamson profiles William Shatner. Not much will be new to knowledgable fans, but it is an affectionate tribute.

io9 offers their assessment of “The Most Realistic Military Science Fiction.” STARSHIP TROOPERS makes the list, along with some less obvious titles like CHILDREN OF MEN.
