Tom Holland (Child's Play, Thinner) returns to horror with the indie feature Rock Paper Dead. Developed by writers Kerry Fleming and Victor Miller, the film involves a "cured...serial killer." Peter returns to his ancestral home to, unsurprisingly, kill again! The film stars: Michael Madsen, Tatum O'Neal, Najarra Townsend and Gabrielle Stone. What is surprising - there are two sequels already in the works, for this series. Rock Paper Dead 2 and 3 will release in 2018 and 2020, respectively. For now, a trailer for the first title is hosted here. The synopsis expands on the film's story slightly. Peter (Luke Macfarlane) has been released from a state hospital, for the criminally insane. Childhood memories, triggered by a visit to his hometown, compel Peter to kill again. A visit from Ashley (Jennifer Titus) might quell his rage, if he can just resolve his past. Rock Paper Dead will release in 2017. Before the film's launch,...

"Welcome back, Peter..." This is the first horror film from director Tom Holland since Thinner in 1996. Rock Paper Dead is the new horror film made by Tom Holland, director of the original Fright Night, Child's Play and Thinner. The film is about a serial killer named Peter "the Doll Maker" Harris, played by Luke Macfarlane, who returns to his hometown after being "cured" in a mental hospital only to relapse into his spooky, doll-maker, serial killer ways. The full cast includes Michael Madsen, Tatum O'Neal, Maureen McCormick, and Jennifer Titus. With so much innovative and unique horror being made, by comparison this looks rather lackluster. Even the lead actor seems miscast, the whole film just seems weird. Here's the first teaser trailer for Tom Holland's Rock Paper Dead, direct from YouTube (via Deadline): From the creators of Friday the 13th and Child's Play!, Rock Paper Dead is the story of serial killer,...

“Supernatural” season finales. Are there anything better? I dare say, No. With the last episode of “Supernatural” Season 5 coming up later this week, it means Sam and Dean Winchester will finally confront the Lucifer for the whole ball of wax. And if they should fail, well, you can kiss your asses goodbye, then. Show creator Eric Kripke has always intended for this season to be the final season, but with the CW having renewed the show for a sixth year, it looks like there will be more “Supernatural” on the horizon. With the apocalyptic storyline wrapping up here, I’m guessing the sixth year will be more filler material stuff. I’m of two minds about a sixth season: on the one hand, I’d love more “Supernatural”, but on the other hand, if this is how it’s meant to end, why keep it going? Check out some sneak...

CW on-air promotions exec Jennifer Titus has a very cool boss.
His name is Chris Donovan, and he's senior VP and creative exec at the drama net. When it came time to plan out a campaign for the new season of "Supernatural" -- this year's theme: the end of the world-- he thought it'd be cool to use the old spiritual "O Death" (last heard in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?")
But rather than use a version already recorded-- or hire some session singers-- he had a hunch. Why not let Titus, who's known around the CW...
