Clive Barker’s Jericho on Scary Movie Saturday!

We’re changing gears slightly again this week as we focus not on a movie – but a video game. This is the last video game to bear Clive Barker’s name and although there was a planned sequel nothing has come of it meaning that Barker’s fans who want more video games from him will have to make do with Clive Barker’s Undying from 2002 and Jericho from 2007. Clive Barker’s Jericho tells the story of a black ops squad called Jericho consisting of a variety of sorcerous and psychic commandos and their battle to keep the demonic Firstborn from bursting through inter-dimensional gates into our world.

Sounds epic doesn’t it? Well it is epic! You get to play a variety of these black ops agents in what is best described as Gears of War meets Silent Hill on acid. It’s an endless assault from beginning to end and is powered by a great mythology laid out by Barker.

Watch the game after the leap!

Halloween III Season Of The Witch One Sheet on Collector’s Corner.

The San Diego Reader apparently has the Collector’s Corner hookup because they periodically post alternate and rejected versions of movie one sheets.  This week – they have shared a horror film lover’s delight with an alternate design for the Halloween III Season of the Witch one sheet. 

Normally we like to post links to auctions where rabid collectors like ourselves can bid on the items in question. Unfortunately this particular one sheet is so rare that you will most likely never see it for sale – anywhere. But that’s the joy of collecting isn’t it? Trying to find that impossible to find item makes life worth living. Well now Halloween III fans have a nice Holy Grail they can chase after. Check it out after the leap!

The Devil’s Backbone aka El Espinazo Del Diablo takes over Scary Movie Saturday!

“The living will always be more dangerous than the dead.”

This week on Scary Movie Saturday – we thought we would spotlight the work of the man who is arguably the best horror filmmaker actively making horror films today – Guillermo Del Toro.  Most fans are familiar with Del Toro’s mainstream work such as Hellboy, Blade II or Mimic – but we want to take a look at one of his smaller, more personal projects - El Espinazo Del Diablo or The Devil’s Backbone if you prefer the English title.  We’ve discussed Del Toro and his works many times before on Mutantville.com so it is with great pride that we share this film with you today.  This is what Modern Horror filmmakers should aspire to emulate.
