Other favorite episodes: Living Doll, The Howling Man

"Cirque Du Freak’s" Latest Film Image Features John C. Reilly

I’m willing to bet that if you’re a fan of Twilight, you may have already been a fan of the books, and new movie for Cirque Du Freak, which debuts in February 2009.

Cirque Du Freak the movie reveals a scary vision of a 14 year-old boy who attends a traveling side show and meets a vampire (Mr. Crepsley…pronounced creepsly).

He unavoidably breaks a 200 year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires, and now must leave his normal life as a human behind, and take his place (and his fate) with the rest of the show. One of the first film images released is courtesy of Empire Online and you can see it here - John C. Reilly and Chris Kelly.

Dark Shadows - The Movie?

Fans of Barnabas Collins and the series, Dark Shadows must be squealing in delight, as Tim Burton has been confirmed to direct the cinema remake, amid swirling rumors that Johnny Depp will portray the fanged lead, Collins.

I was lucky to see a few reruns of this gothic series when I was a kid, and have to admit, it gave me more than a few nightmares about gothic castles and ghosts. Whether you consider it cult or camp, there was nothing like it then. So far, no official word on cast, but the fact that it’s coming is pure excitement.
