“A lot of Black artists that were instrumental in innovation get forgotten,” says Detroit techno legend Juan Atkins, “or purposefully white washed.” His comments play out over footage of Little Richard performing ‘Tutti Frutti’, electrifying, raw and sexy, giving way to the then-more acceptable cover version by Pat Boone, cosy, sexless and dull. The same thing has happened with Detroit’s early electronic music, with David Guetta – white, European, younger – getting credited as the “grandfather”of the genre. It’s a misconception that Kristian R. Hill’s God Said Give Em Drum Machines aims to set right, though it loses its way somewhat on the journey.
New York was the birthplace of hip hop, and Chicago gave us house, but it was Detroit where dance music created entirely with electronic instruments – drum machines and synths rather than samples and scratched vinyl – was pioneered by a handful of young Black men; Juan Atkins,...

Editor: Stephen Jones.
Writers: Peter Atkins, Peter Crowther, Paul Finch, Christopher Fowler, Tim Lebbon, Paul McAuley, Kim Newman, John Llewellyn Probert, Mark Samuels, Pat Cadigan, Scott Edelman, Jo Fletcher, Robert hood, Tanith Lee, Lisa Morton, Sarah Pinborough, Jay Russell, Mandy Slater, and Michael Marshall Smith.
There seems to be a massive resurgence in everything zombie, or zombie-like nowadays. From books such as Craig Dilouie's The Infection, to film e.g. World War Z and even in digital games like "Dead Island," there is no shortage of undead material to get your rotten hands onto. Therefore, the zombie literature genre is a competitive market, one where the creme (cream) thankfully shambles to the top. This is the case with Stephen Jones' version of the coming zombocalypse. Released in paperback form December 7th, Zombie Apocalypse unites several horror fiction writers to believably tell tales of the undead. In no time, London falls,...

Sector 7 has made Shock headlines before and it is South Korea's big summer movie, that's also a creature feature. The story uses an ocean oil rig as a backdrop where a monster terrorizes the crew members. Photos of the cast as well as a teaser poster were featured in a previous news item. Today yields an interesting look at a green screen performer preparing to do some creature-y stuff behind-the-scenes. Pics come courtesy of Robert Hood. This gives you an idea of the shape of the film's beast, and what instantly came to mind for me was Resident Evil's Plant 43 . Sooner or later, photos of the final, rendered, creature will make their way online. Until then, hold tight!

Author James Robert Smith tells blogger Robert Hood that screenwriter Travis Malloy has been adapting Smith's novel, "The Flock," for the big screen. Malloy previously penned 2009's Pandorum . "The Flock" was a property first optioned in 2009 by AngryFilms' Don Murphy and Susan Montford. The book tells the story of a group of highly intelligent giant prehistoric birds discovered in the Florida Everglades who are intent on protecting their ancient home when faced with encroachment by theme park developers. While "The Flock" has a screenwriter, that doesn't mean it's happening just yet. Apparently, they're out to a "short list" of directors now, however, the project is still in development.

Sean Ellis' Claws began life as a short film about a group of young friends who set out into the Canadian wilderness to find the father of one of their number, who has disappeared while hunting down the legendary Yakatutch. They find more than they bargained for.
Now, according to Robert Hood over at Undead Backbrain, the film will become feature-length as the first feature film, and to that end the Beverly Hills Film Festival event and the short was always intended as a major step in bringing his vision to life.
Ellis:
"At this stage, the film is about one year away from production. The shoot will take place in the winter, in a mountainous area of the Us or in Canada. The creature from the film is being designed currently, but no artwork is available yet. It will likely be a suit with some CG enhancements."
Synopsis:

I’m always up for a good Brian Yuzna movie. Although I’m not the biggest supporter of his recent output, I’m still a hardcore fan of his bizarre 1989 horror flick “Society,” as well as the highly underrated “Return of the Living Dead III.” And while you’re at it, toss his unnerving 1996 effort “The Dentist” onto the pile — I’m not ashamed. Much to my delight, Robert Hood’s Undead Backbrain is reporting that Yuzna is preparing to unleash the epic monster flick “Amphibious” upon the suspecting public, and they have plenty of snazzy pictures to prove it. Although the premise doesn’t sound completely sound, it’s got to be better than “Beneath Still Waters,” right? Just humor me. Here’s the lowdown: Marine biologist, Skylar Shane [Janna Fassaert], hires an expat charter boat captain, Jack Bowman [Michael Paré], to help her find prehistoric life form samples in the north Sumatran Sea.

You Have to check out the ad for the film inside. A bunch of hot chicks are having a slumber party for their friend Tiffany, whos off to Sweden to make a high end Triple X movie.

According to some naked hotties seen in an alley way, the monster is covered with moth-mites that drop off its slimy body then attack unwary female victims, chewing off their clothes. Its a harrowing night for all involved.
