Washington, D.C., Sept. 20, 2013 — The American Public Health Association announced its strong support for a new standard proposed today by the Environmental Protection Agency that will safeguard the public's health against the impacts of climate change by limiting carbon emissions from new power plants.
Carbon is a leading contributor to climate change, and power plants are the nation's largest source of carbon pollution. This new rule will lower levels of carbon emissions from power plants fired from fossil-fuels and reduce threats to public health.
"Climate change poses serious, long-term threats to public health," said Georges Benjamin, MD, executive director of APHA. "EPA's common-sense standard will limit harmful carbon pollution and strengthen our public health protections for current and future generations, especially our most vulnerable communities, including children, older adults, those with serious health conditions and low-income families."
"Rising temperatures, more extreme weather events and increased levels of unhealthy air associated with climate change threaten the health of all Americans from the risk of illness and death due to respiratory ailments, heat-related stress and insect-borne diseases," Benjamin said.
"Thanks to EPA, we will better protect our health and environment against threats related to climate change," said Benjamin. "We applaud EPA's leadership in issuing this proposed standard."

I know I always say that I hate cooking and such but listen up, folks, because I've made an amazing culinary discovery that is so easy a monkey could make it. They're a lot like s'mores—but 10,000 times better because they're not all sickeningly sweet.
Prepare to fall to your knees and kiss my feet in gratitude, people. Well, unless you eat too many and gain a bunch of weight—I can't be responsible for that—but because I care…repeat after me: "I will not eat too many of these even though they are awesome beyond all reason. I will practice self-control. Also? I will ONLY use these to bribe my kids when my sanity is truly on the line. Or I need them to stop beating the crap out of each other because black eyes will totally ruin our holiday photos"
Alright. Maybe I'm building this up a bit too much…but whatever. THEY ARE GOOD.What you need are Ritz crackers (regular or cinnamon sugar), semi-sweet chocolate chips and big marshmallows. Oh, and a toaster oven is helpful but I'm reasonably sure you could do these in a regular oven.
Preheat your oven to 350-ish and follow the instructions under these pathetic photos I took with my phone:
That's it. Easy peasy and nearly impossible to f*ck up. Unless you're me ;)
The first person who makes these and sends me a photo of them will win something awesome. I don't know what yet—and your idea of awesome and mine may widely differ but hey, you like to live on the edge, right? Okay then…send me a pic and let's do this thang!

Just ten short years ago, project management was thought of by many as an "accidental profession" – a role within organizations created through happenstance and ad hoc training. Project managers were truly a neglected species – often novice managers given a project to complete with the directive to operate within a set of narrowly defined (and often unrealistic) constraints. No crystal ball was needed to predict the outcome – failed projects; managers battling entrenched bureaucracy and powerful factions; and money, market opportunities, and other resources forever lost. Fast forward to the year 2005, and nothing could be further from the truth. Today, individuals grow up with the dream of one day becoming project managers – ok, admittedly, once they're past the desire to be doctors who moonlight as movie stars and astronauts on the weekends. The career path of the project manager is now well-defined and well-understood in most organizations – a scenario quite contrary to that of ten years ago. Nowadays, we are seeing books, courses, professors, and certifications designed specifically to educate and train the modern project manager.
Today's project managers are a special breed. They are strong leaders who possess a variety of problem-solving, communication, motivational, visionary, and team-building skills. They are one part facilitator, one part salesperson, one part coach, one part cheerleader, and of course, one part cat herder. Their profession is truly a mix of art and science – a blend of business and management skills that can be taught and learned and personality traits that are inherited, but necessary to be successful in the human side of project management.
Managing projects is a challenge that requires a strategy and methodology all its own. But before we dive into the formalities of project management, we must first understand what a project is. By definition, a project is temporary in nature, which means it has a specific start and finish. A project consists of a well-defined collection of tasks and ordinarily culminates in the creation of an end product or deliverable. There is a preferred sequence of execution for the project's tasks – which is known as the project schedule. But basically, a project is a unique, one-time undertaking; it will never be done again in exactly the same way, by the same people, and within the same environment – thereby, introducing uncertainty and consequently, risk into the endeavor.
Because projects are unique and temporary in nature, they pose a brand-new set of challenges. They include:
- Personnel: Because every project has different personnel needs, a new project team must be assembled at the beginning and disbanded at the end. Where do these people come from and where do they go when they are no longer needed?
- Estimating: Because every project is unique, estimates of costs and schedules may contain more assumptions than facts.
- Budgeting: Project budget cycles rarely tend to run the 12-month intervals that corporate budgets do. Even though a firm's budgeting process may attempt to allocate money for upcoming projects, their funding requirements may be unclear before a formal planning process has begun.
- Authority: When projects cross organizational boundaries, it can become unclear who has authority for many decisions – thus, creating gridlock and political maneuvering that can block progress.
- Controls: Normal accounting practices produce reports on a quarterly or annual basis – but these timeframes are not sufficient to keep most projects on track. By the time the quarterly accounting reports are published and show a project over budget, it may too late to recover.
- Communication: Communication breakdowns are one of the most common reasons listed for failed projects. Messages that must go through a number of intermediaries and across organizational boundaries are not only time consuming, but also face the risk of being irretrievably lost.
Setting realistic expectations, fostering agreement among all parties, and then delivering the product can obviously be difficult, but don't despair, there are project management techniques that have evolved to meet these challenges. From a high level, these techniques can be grouped into three project management functions:
Project definition lays out the foundation for a project. From the project definition process, the project manager must understand and be able to communicate the following information to sponsors, customers, management, and prospective team members:
- Problem Statement: Describe the problem to be addressed and resolved.
- Project Name: Provide a concise and descriptive "Official Project Name."
- Project Description: Provide a brief narrative including project context and background.
- Project Objectives: Describe what will be achieved and what will be delivered to the customer.
- Scope: Provide a first draft of what will and will not be included in the project.
- Customer: Delineate specifically who is the customer.
Project definition usually evolves as the project moves through its life cycle.
Deliverables include: Statement of work, Responsibility matrix, Communication plan, and Project charter.
Project planning puts together the details of how to accomplish the project's goals, given the constraints. During this phase, interim deliverables are identified, along with the strategy for producing them. Formulating this strategy begins with the definition of the project requirements (tasks) and the optimum sequence for executing them (the schedule). Time and cost estimates are also established. And risk management activities identify the areas of greatest uncertainty and create strategies to manage them. The question of feasibility and justification is addressed, as formal approval to proceed with the project is ordinarily sought before continuing.
Deliverables include: Risk log, Schedule, Budget, and Resource plan.
Project control includes all the activities that keep the project moving toward the goal - while minimizing the distance between where you end up and where you said you'd end up.
- Progress measurement: Measuring progress early and often quickly identifies any problems and thus, makes them easier to solve.
- Communication: According to some estimates, project managers can expect to spend more than 80% of their time communicating in some way. Thereby, making it no surprise that effective communication is critical in controlling a project.
- Corrective action: Basically, these are measures taken to get a project back on track. It typically refers to the day-to-day responses to all the roadblocks that a project may encounter (schedule delay, cost overrun, performance issue).
In a nutshell, these functions sum up to the responsibilities of the project manager. And they are both sequential and repetitive: A project must begin with definition, then proceed to planning, and finally to control. But planning will inevitably lead to modifications in the definition, and controlling actions will require constant changes to the plan and, occasionally, changes to the definition. So a project manager may actually cycle through this process every day on an ongoing project…whew!
As you can imagine, project management is a vital tool in the future of global business. Increasingly technically complex products and processes, ever-shortening time-to-market windows, and the need for cross-functional expertise have guaranteed project managers to be important, indispensable, and powerful resources in the hands of organizations that understand and appreciate their skills. Now c'mon, who wants to be an astronaut?

The owners of a Jet's Pizza franchise in east Dearborn say their drivers will no longer deliver pizza in Detroit after dark. The decision comes after a 19-year-old delivery driver was shot in the chest after dropping off a pie on the city's west side.Joan McKenna says her son, Timothy, returned to his car after delivering a pizza in the area of Penrod Street and Paul Avenue around midnight earlier this month. "He looked in his rearview mirror and saw a guy rushing up behind him and he knew exactly what it was," says McKenna.Joan says a man held a gun to her son's head and demanded money. Timothy hit the gas to flee the scene, but not before the gunman fired one shot, hitting him in the chest. "He knew instinctively, 'I've got to get out of Detroit because I'll never get an ambulance here in time. I'll die here,'" says McKenna. Fellow delivery driver Ali Mozham says McKenna was able to cross the border back into Dearborn where he called police from a Walmart parking lot. "The police, they came right away," says Mozham.Timothy suffered a broken rib and a punctured lung. He was treated and released from a local hospital and is expected to fully recover. He'll attend Adrian College this fall.Workers at the Jet's say drivers normally deliver pizza in Detroit in pairs. But on the night of the shooting, McKenna's partner, who carries a weapon on deliveries, left early. Now, the store will no longer deliver to the city after dark. "It's a dark time. We have to stop it right now," says Mozham."We're losing business, but still, we cannot risk our life," says another driver at the location.Meanwhile, the gunman remains on the loose. Anyone with information is asked to call Detroit police.

"I thought we got the momentum late. To their credit, they came back and took it back. They did what they had to do to put the game into overtime and then won in overtime. Kind of gift-wrapped it for 'em in overtime a little bit." – Paul Johnson
The overtime play that ended in the interception was the "same one we were trying to run at the end (of regulation), just out of a different formation, trying to get crossers (crossing routes). I felt like if we packed more guys in – they were playing man – we could free somebody on the crossers." – Paul Johnson
"They played pretty much the way we thought. We really struggled to start the game. We missed some reads. We were like popcorn. We settled down a little bit, but to their credit, they did a good job of never letting us get in much rhythm." – Paul Johnson on Virginia Tech's defense
"I thought it was good. The last kickoff, David (Scully) did a great job of kicking it deep, making 'em start on the [25]. He hit the field goal. I thought it was O.K. They dropped the snap on the punt, so we got great field position. So all in all I thought it was a positive." – Paul Johnson on special teams
"Give them credit. They got it down there, we missed a couple tackles and they did what they had to do." – Paul Johnson on Virginia Tech's game-tying drive at the end of regulation
"We didn't get much out of that that we needed to the way they were playing. I don't know whether it's that or whether it was the blocking or what it was. It's hard to tell sometimes till you look at the tape." – Paul Johnson on B-back play
"We had a great opportunity to win the game, no question." – Paul Johnson
"I was trying to throw the ball away. Just got to make sure it goes out of bounds." – quarterback Tevin Washington on interception in overtime
"I think it's good we have a game on Saturday. Hopefully, we can get this thing going in the right way and get a win on Saturday." – Tevin Washington
"It felt like the offensive line did a great job all night. We were one play here or there from just busting the game open. I feel like a game like tonight, it was kind of like an Ali-Frazier fight. It was one swing to another, a counter to a point, so they got the best of us tonight but we gave 'em all we had. We just wish we could have had better results at the end, could have finished a little better, on a better note." – Tevin Washington
"It didn't take me long to get, I guess, focused for the game. I was already ready for it. There were no nerves in my body. I was just playing, doing my responsibility." – inside linebacker Jabari Hunt-Days on making his first start in his first career game
"Personally, I wouldn't know about the other guys, (but) this game is gone as far as I'm worried about. I'm moving on. We've got a game Saturday. That's going to come up fast. I'm going to try to help the guys get over it because it was a big loss, but like Coach (Johnson) said, we have to get over it because hopefully we have 13, 14 more games." – A-back Orwin Smith about a possible hangover effect from the loss
"I just made a conscious effort to be ready for this game. It was a huge game, it was a great opportunity for me to show what I had, and I just wanted to capitalize on it." – defensive end Izaan Cross
"There was no doubt in my mind that we were going to win but things happen, I guess. We counted our chickens too early. We've just got to worry about the next one and forget about this one." – A-back Deon Hill
"There's absolutely nothing we can do but play football. That's what we're going to do. We have plenty of games left. Maybe something will happen, maybe Virginia Tech will get caught slipping. You never know what happens. We've just got to continue playing our best and see what happens." – Izaan Cross

You guys played your hearts out. We're all proud of you. Results don't necessarily measure it everything. I hope everyone of you now know what can be achieved in a team. Play hard, practice hard, and the results will come. This could be a very special year.

No playmakers on offense, only chokers.
We'll win 6 games.

GT Albany, the answer to your question is that they are both really bad!!!
September 4th, 2012
8:14 am
Heartbreaking loss. At least we proved most experts wrong to be in the game at all. Washington has a lot of heart, but is never going to take us to the next level. Johnson and Groh don't inspire a lot of confidence, even though the defense does look somewhat better.
All in all, hope that this loss lights a fire under these guys. In spite of my disappointment, I'm still a Jacket fan.
September 4th, 2012
8:42 am
I was actually pretty impressed with the defense. Either that or that VT quarterback is way overrated. TW may not be the best quarterback, but that guy sure can take a hit. Everybody talks about UGA schedule, with Tech ever play FSU again? There is nobody on Tech's schedule other then Clemson and UGA so they are very well setup for a 9-3 regular season.
September 4th, 2012
8:49 am
Was looking forward to troll post, but I just feel bad for y'all. Georgia football should not be losing to Virginia football this often. Get better, make the November game mean something like Auburn Alabama and not like Tulane LSU.
September 4th, 2012
8:51 am
Defense was soooo much better! Couldn't watch the first half but it sounded ugly on the radio. Second half wasn't too bad. We could have won that game but it is behind us. I think the best college games to start the season was the Clemson-Auburn game and this one. ACC should be proud they aren't afraid to play big games early on, unlike that other conference.
September 4th, 2012
9:08 am
Tough, hard-fought 1st game, guys. Defense looked better, and y'all will improve. That game could have definitely gone y'alls way.

"I think it's good we have a game on Saturday. Hopefully, we can get this thing going in the right way and get a win on Saturday." – Tevin Washington
Really…. Hopefully we can win? Yeah, that Presbyterian team is a power house… We will have the top offense in the country after next Saturday and all will be fine in the world!
September 4th, 2012
9:43 am
Prevent defense just prevents the win, to much cushion on both pass plays late in regulation. 4th and 4 and we are 10 yards off the receiver? Plus dumb bad luck we get a fumble and their other receiver is there to recover—
Im so frustrated with close but no cigar.
September 4th, 2012
9:48 am
September 4th, 2012
10:04 am
Team played hard with a lot of heart. We were one play away from victory. Ken, if you have the opportunity to ask CAG—what was the call for the Defense on 4th & 4 with 13 seconds left. What did he tell the players? Was it let's play tight—stop them this play and the game is over or give them the first down lay back 10 – 15 yds and keep them in front of you? He rushed 4 I think, but it didn't appear that our LBs dropped very deep. Just curious what is said during the time out as last second instructions.
September 4th, 2012
10:14 am
On offense, we need to play the best passing QB that we have and throw the ball often. Hopefully our A backs and WRs can catch the ball because they certainly cannot block. Is all they teach is the cut block? We've got A backs diving at LBs feet and missing them completely! What is that???? In open field you don't have to take down the guy or even drive him back, just shield him from the runner and let the runner read the block, but there's nothing to read if you totally miss the guy. That's what we called a lookout block—-you totally miss the guy and then turn to yell to the RB or QB "lookout".
September 4th, 2012
10:17 am
Please don't wear those chicken wire uniforms again. They do not signify "Yellow Jackets". They look much more like the uniforms got hit with a chicken wire fence. Leave the uniforms alone. Gold trimmed in blue. gold helmets, white pants.
September 4th, 2012
10:23 am
What a shame.
September 4th, 2012
11:25 am
The uniforms looked great.
The defense was improved and the offense was just ok although we may not be giving VT's defense enough credit.
September 4th, 2012
11:26 am
I also thought the defense played well. The defense will get 3 starters back and should be even better.
September 4th, 2012
11:29 am
Loss hurt and I really don't know what to say. I woke up this morning unemployed for the first time in 31 years . I guess my perspective has changed? The coaches livelihood depends on wins, the players worked hard all summer. Can we just cheer them on? Nobody wants to win more than them.
September 4th, 2012
11:54 am
@jacketnation, yellow jackets make their nests with that hexagonal pattern. Maybe they inspired the design for chicken wire. We've got to start a different qb. Washington can't make the proper option reads, and he admittedly is incapable of throwing the ball out of bounds. Even Reggie Ball can accomplish that feat.
September 4th, 2012
1:00 pm
With the agony of last nights defeat starting to ease, I did see some positives. Tevin's throwing seemed much improved and the o line pass blocked better. The d generally played well – especially being down 3 starters. Doubt Drummond gets his job back, JH Days is going to be a great one.
I do think we will see Days and/ or Vad getting significant pt against Presbyterian, bit think it was wise to go with Tevin at VT. Its a long season and at least it sounds like the guys have the right attitude after a heartbreaking loss.
September 4th, 2012
1:25 pm
UGA owns us, so why shouldn't VT own us, too? The numbers don't lie…
If Presbyterian brings its entire student body, it can fill a survey course classroom at Tech. (Actually, they have a 1,200-strong enrollment.) let's just hope we do not get hosed by the Blue Hose…
September 4th, 2012
2:09 pm
Come on Really? OUR team leader QB should know better than throw the ball up for grabs in OT You got to throw that ball away and at least get 3 from FG Tevin always has mind problems when it's do or die time………prove me wrong ….
September 4th, 2012
3:26 pm
If your senior QB still makes so many bad reads and freshman mistakes after 20 or so starts, why not start a freshman that will make the same mistakes, but have more positive plays? At least we'd be investing in a QB for the future instead of maintaining a QB level that isn't going to win any championships
September 4th, 2012
3:39 pm
frustrating!!!. I really wish we would run option pitch plays instead of handing to the b back every time. I still think the option can work at this level, but I must admit I am losing faith. Maybe we can win every game going into Clemzin game.
September 4th, 2012
5:01 pm
WOW—that hurt!!!
September 4th, 2012
5:14 pm
I would rather move on to a QB that will be here for awhile than have one thats gone next year who in the past makes mental mistakes at key times and can not shake them off
September 4th, 2012
7:13 pm
Tech played well, VT's real good and Tech gave them everything they could handle.
Could be a real good year this year. Maybe we get a rematch like Bama did last year
September 4th, 2012
7:59 pm
Really happy about the Defense!! Hopefully the running game will get crisper. Still haven't seen a HR threat since Allen and really Dwyer. When we can have a threat at all 3 positions, then that is when the option is sweet. But instead with ours last night they just focused on the explosive A Backs and could easily contain the B Back and Tevin in my opinion. Passing was improved. Those guys on here that say the head coaches to not instill confidence, I don't know what they mean. When you ar win their presence you can tell they are great men with lots of experience. They really get a kick out of the Monday morning QBs on here. (Johnson has even eluded to such on past posts) So we didn't win. Maybe it will make them that much hungrier. I for one love the attitude of the team. that was a hostile game and it was a battle till the "bitter" end.
September 4th, 2012
9:06 pm
Yall are REALLY fooling yalls self if you think your Defense played well…. REALLY They got lighjt up in the forth Quarter!!!
If you can't stop anybody when it counts you aint good… Trust me if yalls O had been clicking and scored 24 points in the 1st quarter….. Then trust me VT would have at least had 21 points..
September 4th, 2012
10:06 pm
@Dirtybirdsin'12 Yes I am totally familiar with the hexagon cells of a Yellow Jackets nest. They almost always build them in the ground, unlike a honey bee. The uni's look awful. Tevin throws the ball up for grabs in ot. Ends the game for the Jackets like so many QB's of the past. That was a little reminiscent of Reggie Ball. The D was much improved. Special teams greatly improved. The offensive line was not cutting it. They could knock that big kid back and he was stuffing the run as was the V.T. on most of the dive plays. Orwin Smith looked great catching the ball but not able to get outside much. B.J. Bostic looked really good.
September 4th, 2012
10:57 pm
Here again, the option will work. BUT you can't run the thing like a bunch of pansies. CALL BARRY SWITZER, & ask him how to effectively run A powerful option attack from THE WISHBONE position like the OU teams of old use to run them. HIT THE LINE WITH CONFIDENCE & stop dancing hoping not to get hit. THIS stinks. This team is better than this.
September 4th, 2012
10:58 pm
PS I loved the unies………..looked sharp.
September 4th, 2012

1 demonsional offense
September 5th, 2012
5:15 am
Yes, I would like to see Vad Lee as well as the freshman play some. Tevin is okay but that is the problem, he is just okay. Might as well let the new guys make the freshman mistakes instead of the 20 game starter.
September 5th, 2012
6:46 am
The positives of this game. The defense look a lot better. We had a couple break downs, but much better than last year. Special teams was light years ahead of last year. CPJ will get this offense going. I know the lost hurt, but I feel good about this team.
September 5th, 2012
9:47 am
Yeah, I think we win Saturday night… It could be close, but I'm putting a W in the column…
September 5th, 2012
9:51 am
Why is this game scheduled for 7 pm and not 12 in the afternoon? Anybody…
September 5th, 2012
11:38 am
Tech's program is a total mess.
It's not even worth the effort to give you guys grief anymore.
It's like giving a tough time to Valdosta State. Who cares?
September 5th, 2012
12:55 pm
We want our "T" back. Please make arrangements to send it to the VT President.
September 5th, 2012

it's hard being a GT fan the have not learne how to finish a team off ,the defense spent more time watching the QB than covering the recevers , gave up too many yards after catch

We've all noticed Hollywood's original creative output is less prolific than it was during previous eras. It's easy to assign blame for the lack of unique titles at the feet of the studios and you've indeed every right to! While studio heads are lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills and whipping at the hind quarters of cabana boys with Egyptian cotton handkerchiefs – they're still making a profit by churning out films based on existing franchises.
If you compare the top ten grossing films of 2011 to the top ten of 1981 – a mere two films in 1981 were sequels, whereas in 2011 eight of those ten were sequels. That's bonkers. So, whether you like it or not the franchise redo is here to stay, with one boot firmly planted into the nutsack of cinema and another onto a nearby footstool to steady itself.
With an increasing number of films in development emerging as reboots, sequels or prequels –it's only fair that the village bike of cinema; horror, gets her fair share. Each film in the following list has existed previously and varies from those in development to those awaiting release. Whether by remaking an already-existing film, rebooting a franchise via a new approach, reinterpreting the source material or re-editing an existing picture, the chances are you've heard of them all before.
And they'll all be back to cause horror fans nosebleeds, slight foaming at the mouth and frantic commenting on a horror film franchises article written by a British lass. So, without further ado, here they are.

With the first V/H/S only having raked in a mere $100, 345 so far, it's a surprise that a sequel was announced. A terrifying found footage film, V/H/S consists of a series of vignettes all helmed by different directors which follow a group of students hired to retrieve a VHS tape from a desolate house.
It was only fitting that a sequel be announced around Halloween though with a new glut of directors already confirmed. Gareth Evans (The Raid), Eduardo Sanchez & Gregg Hale (The Blair Witch Project), Jason Eisener (Hobo With A Shotgun), Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre), Adam Wingard (You're Next) and Simon Barrett (Writer of V/H/S segments) are all set to direct segments.
While you'd have to knock this writer out with a couple of bars of gold before getting her into an abandoned house to look for a sodding videotape, the sequel's story will tread the same path as the original, thus proving characters in contemporary horror have genitals of steel. The first image has been released from the film and it was pulled from Evans' segment. Uniting smiles and a bloody torso, it's almost like The Hangover meets Martyrs. On a considerably smaller budget.
The first outing received a mixed bag of reviews, with only a 50% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so we're betting that the notoriety surrounding the film's intensity (including the fainting at Sundance) fuelled interest enough for this small indie horror to warrant a follow-up.
V/H/S 2 premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival (read our review), but no theatrical release has been announced.
29. The Mummy
Brought to life by Universal back in 1932, the original version of The Mummy featured Boris Karloff as the bandaged monster bumbling about petrifying early cinema audiences. In 1999 the studio awoke the franchise again with Billy Zane-lookalike, Arnold Vosloo as the High Priest Imhotep Mummy in Stephen Sommer's CGI-filled adventure romp which went on to spawn two further sequels.
Now, The Mummy is being woken again! (No wonder he's always such a murderous bastard.) This time, Underworld and Total Recall director, Len Wiseman is being pursued by the studio to helm the next reboot. A script penned by Prometheus writer Jon Spaihts is reportedly much darker than prior versions – probably best to leave the kiddies at Grandma's for this one – and with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek, Cowboys & Aliens) producing, there's a chance it will deliver.
Wiseman stated in an interview last year for his wish to create something edgier, with more twists and to craft a new vision of The Mummy – you know, so he's scarier. While it's all well and good promising that now, once the powers that be realise it won't rake in the $415 million that the 1999 Brendan Fraser family friendly version did…then you can kiss that risqué R-rating goodbye.
The Mummy is scheduled to arrive in Summer 2014, probably with Kate Beckinsale in the lead.

28. Harker
Following on with another Universal token, Harker dons a new title for an old tale: Dracula. Under the direction of blood spatter expert, Eli Roth, Harker will focus the camera in the direction of one Jonathan Harker. Known in the cinematic Dracula canon as a Keanu-shaped sourpuss, Harker will this time take the form of a Scotland Yard detective on the hunt for the fanged one in London.
Warner Bros. have been trying to get the project going for a while but has run into various delays. But, with Russell Crowe confirmed as the pointy-toothed blood sucker, all we're waiting for now is a leading man.
The flick is being touted as the first in a franchise – gasp – and was penned by Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy. Don't know who they are? They're already bum chums with Roth, the Texas twosome also co-wrote and exec-produced Hemlock Grove – the Hostel director's upcoming Netflix series; and the Zorro Reborn reboot.
As soon as the script and story are locked in, apparently they'll settle on a leading man for the role of the sleuth. But who's it gonna be? Gotta go with Cumberbatch.
27. Paranormal Activity 5
The question was never would they make another sequel, but when would they announce it? Mere days after Paranormal Activity 4 hit cinemas it was reported a fourth sequel would be produced in time for a Halloween 2013 release on October 25th. The fourth film's opening weekend raked in $26.5 million – not as much as the previous sequels but not bloody bad for a film which cost $5 million to make.
At the moment there's no definitive news on the direction the story will take. Chances are the scariest sounding demon in the world, Toby, will be there and Katie Featherston has confirmed her reappearance. A completely pointless Latino version of the film is also set for Spring 2013 to be directed by Disturbia writer, Christopher Landon, who also scribbled the first three PA sequels. What purpose it serves to hash out another tale when I'm sure Latinos everywhere are just as sick of the franchise as we are, is anyone's guess (money?)
To dismiss Paranormal Activity now is an easy swipe, but somewhat deserved. The franchise started with an original premise and was scary to boot. Now though, the creativity and consideration prevalent in that first film has been exhausted, despite PA3 bringing aboard new talent and some clever gimmicks (the fan-cam – terrifying!)
We'll keep you posted when further news lands on the Paranormal Activity franchise.

26. The Woman In Black: Angel of Death
The highest grossing British horror film in over twenty years, The Woman In Black, succeeded critically and financially and now a sequel is in the works. With the tagged on subtitle Angel of Death, the film has Brit director Tom Harper and writer Jon Croker attached. Croker's script is based on an idea by Susan Hill, the author of the novel on which the original is based.
Set forty years after the first film, this time Eel Marsh House has been seized by the government and transformed into a mental hospital. After receiving bucketloads of troubled World War II soldiers, the woman in black wakes and immediately sets about disposing of them. After scaring the shit out of them. Luckily for the inhabitants, Eve, a beautiful young nurse, arrives to care for them and or morphs into some sort of Jovovichian kicker of paranormal arse.
When the first artwork surfaced it did raise some eyebrows as the image depicts a gaggle of children all entering Eel Marsh House alongside a nurse-schoolmarm figure. Original reports about the plot made reference to evacuated WWII children being relocated to the house – but hasn't been mentioned since.
There's yet to be any casting announcements apart from rumours of Daniel Radcliffe returning and as it stands, Croker's gonna have to pull off one hell of a Keyser Soze to make that one fly.
The Woman In Black: Angel of Death is scheduled to start shooting in 2013.
25. The Last Exorcism 2
The mere existence of this film renders the title of the first The Last Exorcism redundant. Well it wasn't the last exorcism was it? No, Daniel Stamm's first film could accurately have been called The Penultimate Exorcism. Or this upcoming sequel could be retitled The Last Exorcism Lasted A Bit Longer Than Expected. Crappy hypothetical titles aside, the first flick's contrived plot twists meant that it missed the chance to explore new angles of exorcism lore.
Nevertheless, a sequel was announced and is now in post-production with new director Ed Gass-Donnelly taking over for Stamm. Eli Roth is also back in the role of producer. Also returning is star of the original, Ashley Bell, reprising her role as possessed girl Nell Sweetzer and Louis Herthum as her father Louis Sweetzer.
The sequel continues Nell's story six months after the original where we find her in the woods with no recollection of the events of the previous film (possibly because she went on a Windex-fuelled bender.) Not one to be stopped by amnesia, evil and in particular the demon, are back in full force to make Nell's life even more miserable. How nice of them.
The film is also boasting a surprise twist never before seen in an exorcism film. Our guess? The butler did it.
The Last Exorcism 2 will hit theatres March 1st, 2013.

24. Troll Hunter
Troll mythologies and legends are derived from Norwegian folklore, which shouldn't come as a surprise for those who have seen the original found-footage Troll Hunter film. The film is constructed from supposed footage shot by a group of students who begin pursuing a man cross country whom they believe to be an illegal bear poacher. As the film's not called Bear Poacher you can correctly assume he wasn't.
As soon as the Norwegian original hit U.S. cinemas, the rights for the remake were snapped up by Chris Columbus's 1492 production company. Columbus, well known for directing the first two Harry Potters, also penned the horror-comedy goblin flick Gremlins, so it's a shame he's not writing this remake. Men In Black II producer Marc Haimes has bagged the scripting duties so it'll be intriguing to see where he steers the American counterpart.
Will it take place in the U.S. or in Norway? Either way, Haimes could create a nifty stateside equivalent to the Norwegian troll myth and have free rein to embellish on ground covered in the original.
We'll keep you posted when more details are revealed, as Troll Hunter is still in development.
23. I, Frankenstein
This version of Frankenstein isn't a reimagining of the original Universal flick (that remake is still in development), but instead is based on a comic which reinstates Frankenstein's monster as a saviour of sorts. Adapted from a Darkstorm comic book by Underworld scribe Kevin Grevioux, I Frankenstein pits Frankenstein's monster in the middle of a battle between humans and a glut of old school monsters including Dracula, The Invisible Man
and Skeletor.
Stuart Beattie, the man behind the brilliant 30 Days Of Night, wrote and directed the film which filmed over ten weeks last summer in Australia with Aaron Eckhart in the lead role as Frankenstein's creation. Set to play a demon prince is Pirates Of The Caribbean stalwart, Bill Nighy who's got the chops to lay on the kitsch as witnessed in his genre jaunts, which also include a zombified stepdad in Shaun Of The Dead.
Universal's back catalogue of ghoulies have been wheeled out countless times to varying degrees of success. This time it sounds like Frankenstein's monster is getting the opportunity to bust out of the same old plot and strut his bumbling stuff across new cinematic terrain. All the while, probably looking rather handsome (oh come on, it's Aaron Eckhart! Even when he had half a face he was still charismatic!)
Lionsgate have pushed the release from the slated date of February 22, 2013 to September 13th, 2013.

22. Maniac
A pot-bellied New York landlord with a penchant for hunting down women and removing their scalps does not immediately strike you as a remake Elijah Wood would be perfect for. But he's back, channelling the dark side from Sin City, as Wood stars in the upcoming remake of William Lustig's 1980 misogyny slasher, Maniac.
Wood plays billy-no-mates serial killer Frank Zito under the direction of Franck Khalfoun (P2) from a script written by remake maestro Alexandre Aja, Gregory Levasseur and C.A. Rosenburg. In this latest take, the action is relocated to a grimy Los Angeles, where Woods befriends a young artist but struggles to quell his desires. You know, the ones where you want to chop off someone's scalp.
The film completed shooting in December 2011, debuted at Cannes early in 2012 and a bloody new international trailer has landed. Since then it has hit the festival circuit to enthusiastic reviews praising Wood's return to nutter territory and a storytelling technique in which the film is shot from the killer's POV.
That technique was first used back in 1960 in Peeping Tom, which emptied the bowels of many amidst an uproar of controversy and has not been employed successfully since the original Halloween. It'll be worthwhile to see Maniac just for that restricted narration plot device.
Maniac was released in France on December 26th but has no domestic release date yet.
21. Insidious Chapter 2
The little horror film that could, Insidious, was one of the most successful movies of 2011, bringing in a worldwide gross of $97 million – astonishing compared to its $1.5 million budget. James Wan's original film united a cast from outside the genre to stunning effect. Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne shrugged off the shackles of their usual dramatic casting and brought heart and depth to the haunted house creepfest.
Unsurprisingly, a sequel was announced.
What's surprising is how long it took for that announcement. As often is the case with box office hits, the studio will greenlight a sequel after the opening weekend figures are in. The intriguingly titled Insidious Chapter 2 was lit 20 months after it opened. This leads us to believe that Wan's been working on the follow-up with consideration and care, instead of dashing off a script hastily in order to cash in.
The first film frightened audiences by removing all known horror scare tactics and replacing them with a simpler, bare-boned terror. Wan and writing comrade, Leigh Whannell know one thing for certain: you don't need blood and guts to truly haunt. No, just some deft editing which made this writer shriek like a little girl.
As the original's cast are all set to return, the continuation of this story will hopefully generate new chills. With a release date penned in for August 30th, 2013 we'll keep you posted on any new developments.

20. Van Helsing
If you enjoyed Universal's Van Helsing back in 2004, then you're probably the only one. The film had rich source material to draw inspiration from in its titular hero, Abraham Van Helsing. The original vampire slayer from Bram Stoker's Dracula was pitted against a back catalogue of monsters but still managed to become a string of set pieces tied together with help from Hugh Jackman's shiny hair extensions.
Snow White and the Huntsmen's Rupert Sanders is rumoured for directing duties on a reboot with Tom Cruise set to star as Helsing. Both have upcoming commitments though, in the shape of a Huntsmen sequel for Sanders and three sci-fi pictures for Cruise.
What is the most reviving chunk of news for the reboot comes from the project's producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, scribes responsible for Star Trek and Transformers, who've got the notion to root Van Helsing in a darker universe. Back in May 2012, Kurtzman cited The Dark Knight as inspiration for a film that could be "really grounded in reality…that's what I'd like to do without sacrificing the fantasy element."
A gritty Van Helsing channelling the harsh reality of batboy? Sounds smashing, we'll have half a dozen.
19. Bates Motel
Alfred Hitchcock 's Psycho has already been butchered on the small screen as a made-for-TV movie starring Bud Cort, Lori Petty and a young Jason Bateman. Don't remember it? It matters not, as this version of Bates Motel functions as a prequel to the events depicted in Psycho.
Freddie Highmore is to play Momma's boy Norman Bates, with Vera Farmiga as his interfering mother, Kathy Bates. Just kidding. Norman's mother's name is Norma.
A joint effort by A&E and Universal, this time Carlton Cuse of Lost and Kerry Ehrin of Friday Night Lights have picked up the project which so far has been confirmed for a 10-episode run which will apparently be set in modern times. The rest of the Bates family are along this time too, including Norman's brother and his father, who are both presumably also called Norman.
With Cuse at the helm and the faint scent of the pine forests of Twin Peaks lingering in the pre-release teasers – there's definite hints that this series could attract the attention of Lost fans. And the casting of Nestor Carbonell as the Sheriff, who previously creeped it up as Richard Alpert in Cuse's island sci-fi romp is the icing on the cake.
The show premieres March 18th on A&E.

18. The Exorcist
As the 40th anniversary of William Friedkin's The Exorcist is imminent, a remake was to be expected. This time it'll be hitting the small screen in the shape of a ten-part TV series created by Sean Durkin, writer and director of indie hit, Martha Marcy May Marlene. Announced back in May 2012, the show is being handled by Morgan Creek with Roy Lee, executive producer of The Ring and The Departed joining him.
This adaptation will broaden the scope of the original film, which concentrated solely on the possession and exorcism of 12-year old Regan McNeil. The arc of the show's story will begin with the period leading up to her possession, the exorcism and the effects on the family afterwards.
Days after Morgan Creek's announcement, author of The Exorcist novel William Peter Blatty hit back. Debunking the entire announcement, he stated that he owned the rights and the miniseries he and Friedkin were planning back in 2009 was something they still hoped would get picked up.
Looks like the chances are good either way for a TV series based on The Exorcist – and one which could start with a good old fashioned rights scuffle.
17. It.
There's a lot of folks petrified of clowns. This almost guarantees that those same folks will be emotionally destroyed by a clown with the volition to file his teeth into points so as to appear even more petrifying. As personified by Tim Curry's Pennywise in the first adaptation of It. But will those teeth be as razor sharp in the newest remake?
The first screen outing for Stephen King's mammoth tome came in 1990 when a TV mini-series brought to life the tale of an evil life form which manifests as the victim's worst fears. A remake has been on the cards since 2009 when Warner Bros hired screenwriter Dave Kajganich to rewrite the script which had attached an R-rating allowing for scarier elements of the novel to be depicted.
Cut to 2012 and reports now show the project has changed hands as Cary Fukunaga is now directing and co-writing the script with Chase Palmer. The film intends to be split into two parts like the 1990 adaptation with producers Roy Lee, Dan Lin and Seth-Graeme-Smith and David Katzenberg on board.
No release date has been set as It is still in pre-production.

16. Candyman
The original Candyman landed in 1992 as an adaptation of Clive Barker's short story, The Forbidden. With Tony Todd as the slave-turned-mirror-monster Candyman and a supporting cast of Virginia Madsen and Kasi Lemmons it turned out to be one of the more successful of Barker's filmic re-imaginings.
In 2008, Sony dabbled with the idea of bringing Candyman back to the big screen and earlier this year another rumour found its way online: let's bring him back as a white guy. Considering the existence of the Candyman hinges upon his former life as a slave murdered after his affair with a white woman was uncovered, Sony are going to have to rewrite the entire backstory, otherwise it'll make as much sense as a chocolate tea cosy.
Speaking with Fangoria, Todd revealed his desire to play the hooked villain again and that he had met with Clive Barker, but due to the rights ownership it's still up in the air. Barker has made no secret of the fact he wishes to buy back the rights to the franchise as well as his Hellraiser series so as to film: Candyman Vs. Pinhead.
As it stands, Candyman is still in development.
15. Friday the 13th
A found footage remake sequel of a slasher? Isn't that like crossing the streams? Or that other popular adage: too many gimmicks ruin a perfectly average franchise.
After the last Friday the 13th rebooting back in 2009, directed by Marcus Nispel, Jason is set to return once more from the depths of Camp Crystal Lake/Manhattan/Atlantis. A year after the first remake, the follow-up was ready to go until producer Brad Fuller announced on Twitter that for whatever reason, it was "dead – not happening."
In 2011, Fuller than declared it alive as scriptwriters Damian Shannon and Mark Swift had delivered a great script and were ready to go when New Line Cinema gave them the go ahead. Recently over at Starseeker their source shared two further possibilities: it's to be set during winter and it'll also be a prequel (possible unimaginative tagline: "Older and colder.")
For the time being, Friday the 13th: Part 2 – The Found Footage Prequel Remake is still in development.

14. Jeepers Creepers 3
It's been nearly a decade since the sequel hit screens and production on the final Jeepers Creepers has been ready to go for seven years. Director Victor Salva who helmed the first two has been struggling to secure financing for the script which has an ending leading directly into a 13-part TV series. A final chapter of a successful horror franchise with an accompanying TV series? It's a wonder why it hasn't been snapped up!
Set 23 years after the sequel, the story will pick up with Trish, who we left back at the end of the first film. Now a mother, she fears for the life of her son after she dreams of him suffering the same fate at the hands of the Creeper as her brother, played with a challenging ocular disorder in the first film by Justin Long. It's also alleged to contain flashbacks revealing the origin of the monster.
For now the project is suspended until Salva can rustle up investors to fund the flick – which is a damn shame as Jeepers Creepers 3 could be an intriguing end to the franchise.
13. Halloween
Halloween is one franchise which has been brought back from the dead more times than its antagonist, Michael Myers. The most recent incarnations in 2007 and 2009 were handled by goth-rocker Rob Zombie, who spun a new backstory for Myers which diluted the impact of the original's motivation: he's just crackers.
The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films teamed up with Drive Angry directors, Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier to churn out the next version but that project was abandoned. Thank God, as it was to be in 3D.
Dimension Films are now joining forces with Michael Bay's remake production house, Platinum Dunes, to re-remake the franchise. If successful, Halloween will be the latest addition to their back catalogue of regurgitated horrors including Friday the 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street. It's unknown if it will follow on from Zombie's entries, from the original franchise or explore new territory.
No news of a director, cast or release date have yet been announced.

12. Scream
The meta-textual postmodern horror which expanded on ground covered by Wes Craven's New Nightmare the previous year, Scream was the catalyst for a new avenue of self-aware scare flicks.
After the first two sequels arrived in the four years following, it took a decade-long break for Scream 4 to land to mixed reviews and critique. It brought in enough revenue for Harvey Weinstein though, as he stated that a Scream 5 could go ahead. Wes Craven is game, and last month on Twitter, David Arquette put forward that he'd love to work on another sequel.
Writer and creator Kevin Williamson was contractually obligated for Scream 4 and 5 with the option for a sixth. He had plotted out a storyline for the new trilogy but announced in February this year that if the series goes forward he will not be a part of it. As with Scream 3, the studio elbowed Williamson out mid-production and brought on rewriter Ehren Kruger to "punch up" the script. That'll be that bridge burned, then.
With the fate of the fifth entry uncertain, MTV announced in June 2012 that they were developing a Scream TV series. Following in the steps of their success with the Teen Wolf TV adap, they're hoping to expand the world of Ghostface into a weekly serial. Whether Craven or Williamson will be involved in this version is unknown but David Arquette tweeted that he would not take part.
Neve Campbell, when asked about the fate of Scream 5 told Collider in January 2013: "We'll see. I'm not sure they're going to make it, to be honest. If that were to come up again and they were to approach me, I'd have a chat with them about it."
No details of a cast or release date have been announced for either project.
11. Nightbreed
Clive Barker's subterranean otherworld opus, Cabal, which arrived on screens in 1990 as Nightbreed, was a box office flop. The story follows Boone, a mentally unstable man framed for a slew of murders committed by his psychiatrist, Decker. He seeks sanctuary in the underground world of monster-populated Midian.
Trouble emerged when Fox and Barker butted heads over the final cut running time: Barker's submitted version ran to two-and-a-half-hours. Fox demanded an hour be cut. The heads at Morgan Creek didn't even sit through the whole feature before engineering a misleading marketing campaign purporting Nightbreed to be a slasher. A bit like advertising Twilight as a kitchen sink drama.
Creek also refused to screen the film for critics, claiming people who watch horror don't read reviews. When the film opened it bombed at the box office but still gathered a cult following.
Jump to 2012 and a film lecturer at the University of Derby in England (ahem, where this writer attended as a film student) assembled a new cut combining the lost footage from the 159-minute director's cut (a VHS print was found on a shelf in Barker's office) and the regular DVD version.
Re-integrating footage, stories and characters much loved by fans of the novel this new version has been dubbed Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut and is currently touring cinemas worldwide to raise funds for a full-blown Blu-Ray release.

10. The Evil Dead
One of the first cabin in the woods horror flicks to fill your trousers with whiff juice and cause girlish whimpers to emanate from your unkissed teenage lips, Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead embodied the low-budget terror of the 1980s video nasties era.
Now the Necronomicon is about to be re-opened. Produced by Raimi, original producer Rob Tapert and star of original Bruce Campbell, the remake has a new director in Fede Alvarez. Alvarez landed the gig after his short, Panic Attack! caught the attention of producers. He then bashed out the first drafts of the script. Diablo Cody, Juno and Jennifer's Body scribe then came aboard to give the final draft a touch of contemporary sparkle.
As evidenced in the first red band trailer, Alvarez's The Evil Dead cuts back on the original's humour and ups the triptych of gore, possession and tree assault for a new generation. Jane Levy tackles the lead duties as Mia, the remake's equivalent of Ash, and is joined by Lou Taylor Pucci, Shiloh Fernandez, Elizabeth Blackmore, and Jessica Lucas.
The Evil Dead will hit theaters on April 5th, 2013.
9. Wolf Creek 2
The film which made handfuls of backpackers rethink their hipster road trip through the outback, Wolf Creek, revived the Australian horror genre and brought our Antipodean film-maker chums to the forefront of the "torture porn" movement. A twisted tale which raked in $16 million worldwide was no doubt going to delve back into the sick world of Mick Taylor and another throng of gullible youngsters.
With a script and directorial duties handled by Greg McClean, writer and director of the original, Wolf Creek 2 promises to terrify the shit out of even the most backed-up of viewers. This time around the three backpackers are Rutger, Katarina and Paul, who visit the Wolf Creek Crater and soon encounter the area's resident serial killer, Mick Taylor. Back in that role is the brilliant John Jarratt, for a sequel that director McClean describes as bigger and badder than the first. How anything can be "badder" than someone's spine being severed after having several fingers removed is beyond me. Perhaps something involving a mouse trap and a bucket of acid.
Production started January 2013 in South Australia, seven years after the original. The flick already has worldwide distribution, although no release dates have been confirmed.

8. Hellraiser
Based on The Hellbound Heart, a novella by Clive Barker, the original Hellraiser with Doug Bradley as the walking pincushion imaginatively named Pinhead, proved the author could direct his own work to massive success.
The remake has suffered hellish development setbacks since 2007 when Dimension Films hired Inside directors, Alexander Bustillo and Julian Maury to work a script written by the scribes behind the Saw sequels. After Bustillo and Maury bowed out, Pascal Laugier of Martyrs took up duties. Laugier aimed to take Hellraiser in a darker direction whereas the studio wanted a lighter, teen-friendly affair, so he too left the project.
Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer took to developing the film in 2010, but again were at loggerheads with the studio over the direction they wished to take.
Then in August 2012, a glut of new artwork proposed for a remake surfaced alongside a teaser trailer – which sadly is unavailable online. The artwork by Paul Gerrard of Battle: Los Angeles and Wrath Of The Titans show a more tortured Pinhead (see above picture), whose pins appeared to have been hammered in leaving remnants of blood teeming down his face. Mike Le Han directed the trailer based on the artwork, incorporating 100 extras and multiple FX houses to pitch a new outline for a new Hellraiser.
For now, no new details have surfaced but considering the amount of labour Dimension have dedicated to finding a vision they wish to back, let's hope Gerrard and Le Han's proposal won them over.
7. Pet Sematary
Another Stephen King adaptation, Pet Sematary could probably do with a remake (but not as much as his killer-car flick, Christine) and Paramount agrees. Two years back, Dave Kajdanich, also hired to deliver the first draft for the It remake, completed a screenplay but didn't satiate Paramount bosses, who then brought in 1408 scribe Matthew Greenburg for a rewrite.
Last year, Paramount were actively pursuing remake maestro Alexandre Aja to direct. Aja is no stranger to remakes after delivering The Hills Have Eyes and Pirahna 3D with sufficient gore and shock, which could be just what this remake needs.
In the late 1980s when the original Pet Sematary was released, audiences weren't saturated by zombie films as they are today and so it wasn't marketed as one. Discussion on the novel and film seldom classify it as a zombie tale but come on, bringing the dead back to life? If that's not zombie then I'll buy a hat and then eat it.
This time around, whoever lands the director's gig has a quirky spin on the zombie mythology ready to exploit as in the world of Pet Sematary, the dead are buried with the intent that they will return. Pull your finger out Paramount and get a director!

6. Curse of Chucky
The demonic ginger-haired stepchild that is okay to ridicule in jokes; Chucky, is back! The sixth title in the Child's Play series, Curse of Chucky started shooting in Winnipeg, Canada in September.
Don Mancini, the film's creator and director has angled the latest scribblings in the direction of a straight-up horror. This marks a departure from the tongue-in-cheek flavour of the previous two outings. It's not a huge surprise Mancini is reverting the tone, as Seed of Chucky was a disappointment compared to the schlocky blood soaked brilliance of Bride of Chucky. Those last two entries will be struck from the canon as Curse of Chucky follows on from where Child's Play 3 left off.
This time around, Chucky wreaks havoc (i.e. kills people) in a household wherein two sisters are struggling to deal with their mother's suicide. When one of their daughters stumbles upon a red-haired doll which arrived mysteriously in the mail, well, folks start getting murdered horribly.
Keeping it in the family with the cast, Mancini has Brad Dourif back as the voice of Chucky as well as his daughter Fiona Dourif in one of the starring roles.
Horror stalwarts may rejoice at the notion of a return to the scarier Chucky present in the first three films but this writer is going to miss the camp comedy which essentially threw Team America in the blender with Child's Play.
Curse of Chucky is due for release on DVD in 2013.
5. Videodrome
David Cronenberg's techno-surreal bloody horror, Videodrome, which wins sci-fi crossover points for James Woods inserting a videotape into his abdominal cavity willingly – is being remade.
Universal Pictures announced in 2009 they had obtained rights for a remake and brought in Transformers: Dark Of The Moon scribe Ehren Kruger to write and produce the flick with his partner Daniel Bobker. In updating the film's premise Kruger and Bobker are to introduce nano-technology with hopes the finished product will resemble a grandiose sci-fi actioner. Sounds like a major thematic departure from the original which clung to Cronenberg's intimate body horror scare tactics.
The 1983 original sees James Woods' cable TV programmer desperate to discover new content for his struggling network. He soon discovers a surreal show called Videodrome with transmissions that come at a price for his mind and body.
Despite Cronenberg already addressing Videodrome's implied future in 1999's eXistenZ, the remake is going full steam ahead after landing a director in August 2012. Relative newcomer Adam Berg was given the gig with a resume chock-full of ads, which could raise red flags for fans.
It's often hit-n-miss when directors make the transition from commercials to features but other than further conjecture, that's all that's known on the Videodrome remake.

4. Poltergeist
A house built on desecrated burial ground, a child who talks to ghosts, a spiritual medium drafted in to help a suffering family are horror clichés – some of which recycled recently in the thieving Paranormal Activity franchise. Before that, one of the first commercially successful films to include them was Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist.
A collaborative effort by Hooper and producer/writer Steven Spielberg, Poltergeist was a smash when released in 1982. The story of a family who move into a new house to discover it is haunted is a tale older than the amber they extract dino DNA from in Jurassic Park. It was only a matter of time before a remake was announced. Put into production by an MGM back from bankruptcy, Sam Raimi has been attached to produce alongside his Oz: The Great and Powerful writer David Lindsay-Abaire.
Abaire's got the knack for relishing in the tumult of the family dynamic after firing off the brilliant Rabbit Hole. If he can relocate the tension from a melodrama to horror then the script's got potential to live up to the original. Rumours recently surfaced that Raimi would also direct. While this is probably the wishful thinking of an overactive rumour mill – it's still an exciting glimpse at what could be the second cracking collaboration on Poltergeist.
3. Martyrs
French extremist cinema has yielded tons of clever, gory and unique titles, none as outstanding and shout-at-the-TV-inducing as Martyrs though. The nearest Hollywood equivalent would most likely be the original Saw, which meshed philosophical musings about man's existential dilemma (sort of) with gut-wrenching torture. Martyrs poses similar questions, frames them in a genius plot and ups the violence. You should rent it now, hence no more story discussion.
Unfortunately, the remake is to be directed by Daniel Stamm who helmed the insipid The Last Exorcism. When interviewed in 2010, Stamm made public his wishes to tag on a hopeful endnote onto the film to dismiss the nihilism of the original. Well that's a bit like trying to outwit a xenomorph with a bucket of soapy water. By diluting that which lent the original strength pretty much guarantees the remake will have its backbone replaced with something less gritty. Like a jam sandwich.
On the plus side, when interviewed about the project in 2010, Stamm dismissed rumours that Kristen Stewart was to star but no other actors have been confirmed. Mark L. Smith, writer of Vacancy is also on board to pen the script.
Martyrs is still in development.

2. Suspiria
The refreshing notion of the Dario Argento giallo classic is that upon viewing, you find yourself terrified and you can't pinpoint why. Suspiria's moodscape of the bizarre and brutal casts quite the spell – and can also lead to a life-long fear of private schools.
The remake is being directed by David Gordon Green who has been attached since 2007. A somewhat odd choice for the task, Green's low-brow comedies such as Pineapple Express and The Sitter are the cinematic antitheses to Argento's surreal and sickening brand of horror.
Green's Your Highness star, Natalie Portman was attached early on but has since dropped out – no points for guessing that her Oscar-winning turn in the bonkers ballet psychodrama, Black Swan may have been a deciding factor.
In the original, the story follows an American ballerina who relocates to a prestigious European ballet school only to find out there's something sinister afoot at the hands of a gaggle of women who prefer broomsticks to public transport. Based on a script penned by Green and Chris Gebert, this new version is said to now be shedding the ballet aspect and instead pay homage to the original via shots, dialogue and the score.
In May 2012, Isabelle Fuhrman, of The Hunger Games and slappable antagonist of Orphan was announced as the lead with rumoured supporting roles for Isabelle Huppert, Michael Tyqvist, Janet McTeer and Antje Traue.
Filming was scheduled to start in September 2012.
1. Carrie
Kimberly Peirce, director of the Carrie remake has got quite the act to follow. With a stellar starring cast of Chloe Grace Moretz as Carrie and Julianne Moore as her religious zealot mother, Margaret, Peirce has certainly got talent on her side. At the New York Comic-Con, where the first teaser trailer debuted, Peirce stated her allegiance to King's source novel and her intention of creating a Carrie for a new generation.
A bloody-rags-to-sticky-britches story, the film centres on Carrie White, a socially-awkward teenager who gets her first period during a locker room shower and believes she's dying. Following a callous prank initiated by the school bully, Carrie begins to show symptoms of a unique and powerful skill which prove unfortunate for those who thought it helpful to pelt her with tampons.
Producer Kevin Misher, on the panel at the NYCC hinted at a broader scope for the film's finale enabled by changes in technology in the last thirty years. For those familiar with King's novel, the differences between it and the 1976 version are considerable. It's welcoming to hear of a remake taking advantage of advances in tech to actually assist the story as opposed to replacing it.
From the teaser trailer, teaser poster, mad viral marketing campaign and the winning panel at the NYCC, Carrie is shaping up nicely to be a serious contender for the horror to watch this year.
Carrie opens in theatres on October 18th 2013.
That's it folks: now, which of these horror film franchises are you looking forward to seeing reanimated? Any that you want to see? Please, as per usual, let us know in the comments below.Previous

MyFox Job Shop - In a troubled economy plagued with high unemployment and employee dissatisfaction in the workplace, look-alike, assembly line résumés won't get the attention of hiring authorities. Hiring authorities, including human resource professionals, executive recruiters and hiring managers, don't have time to read stacks of boring biographies from strangers. They want to know quickly what specific contributions you can make and results you can produce. So, by definition, a value-based résumé is a marketing document that communicates your ability to produce significant results better than other qualified candidates.
You have 100% control over the information you include in your résumé and how you present your marketing document. Unfortunately, most job seekers don't take advantage of their power to control the information hiring authorities need to see on their résumés. When you effectively control the information on your résumé, you will elicit attention and enthusiasm from prospective employers and win an interview. More than 98% of the résumés being circulated today are nothing more than chronological obituaries; biographies prepared on white paper with black ink formatted like millions of others. Not only do they all look alike; they don't communicate enough to differentiate themselves from other competing candidates. Most résumés don't address prospective employers' needs, problems or organizational objectives. They don't shout out why they are the best candidate for the job. During tough economic times, there are way too many competing résumés in circulation for you to submit a blend-in-with-everyone-else résumé.
Your résumé must STAND OUT if you have any chance of attracting outstanding job opportunities. Your résumé must be reader-friendly yet, powerful in its messages. Your résumé must be exciting, professional and a document which you are proud of. In the end, your résumé must effectively promote and sell you to prospective employers. And you must promote and sell yourself better than other candidates who are going after the same jobs that you want!
The 5 Benefits to Creating a Value-Based Résumé ( how to write one, click here )
1) Market Value:
The process of creating a value-based résumé will result in you being able to effectively identify and communicate your value to prospective employers. Your résumé will clearly communicate bottom line results and organizational objectives you can produce that position you as a highly qualified and valuable candidate.
2) Differential Factor
When you strategically develop your résumé, you will define the differential factor. The differential factor represents highly valuable skills, qualifications and other employment assets that set you apart from other qualified candidates; that make you STAND OUT. Often times, the differential factor is what tips the hiring scale in your favor! For instance, if you have an industry-wide reputation, your reputation might be the differential factor. If you are a Black Belt in Six Sigma, that may constitute the differential factor. A number of years ago, I coached a Chief Financial Officer who worked for a legendary golf professional. Having worked for a famous golf professional was the differential factor because many hiring managers found it unique and intriguing to interview (and hire) someone who worked for a celebrity. When you identify the differential factor, you'll provide your job campaign with a distinct advantage in landing a job quickly in the toughest of job markets.
3) Confidence Builder
When you design and create a value-based résumé that communicates your value and those attributes that set you apart from your competition, you gain a whole new level of confidence in yourself, your ability to promote yourself and your ability to remain upbeat throughout the entire job campaign. You will be proud of what you are marketing; namely you! You will approach each day with a renewed sense of self-worth knowing that you truly STAND OUT from others seeking the same jobs you want.
4) Résumés Open the Right Doors
Exciting, well-presented value-based résumés open doors of opportunity that otherwise would not open for you. Your résumé will race to the top of the pile because it bellows out to employers, "This is what I can do for you, why I am a good fit for your company and the best candidate for the job."
5) You Will Become a Stronger, More Effective Interviewer
Résumés lead to interviews and interviews lead to job offers. When you write your résumé thinking about the interview, you begin developing the key messages you'll eventually want to communicate in an interview to win the job. In other words, when you take the time to properly prepare your résumé thinking about the key messages that will win job offers; you'll then showcase those messages on your résumé to win interviews!

My opinions about Dr Doberne: 1. Dr. Doberne is a nice, caring, thorough Doctor. 2. He is very much a scientist--very knowledgeable, digs into the literature when you have an unusual medical problem. He is up on the latest drug studies. He shares the underlying facts/reasoning supporting his diagnosis and his recommended drug regimen 3. He is patient with insurance companies and laboratory providers and works with them to get what you the patient need. 4. Dr. Doberne's personality tends toward the friendly charismatic genius type (he has a few non-medical degrees as well). He is an interesting character and I like him. 5. I would go the extra mile to retain and see Dr. Doberne over other doctors. D. Fischer

Dr. D. treated me through 2 gestational diabetic pregnancies. He is extremely knowledgeable & caring. He called me almost every day to adjust my insulin - even on weekends. I agree with the person who said he is like House with a great bedside manner. He makes time to take great care of his patients. He even visited me in the hospital after I gave birth. He is the best doctor I have ever had at any time.

There are many sorts of games played in a "bunco booth", where a trickster or sleight-of-hand expert tries to relieve you of your money by getting you to place bets - on which cup the ball is under, for instance, or where the queen of spades is. Lots of these games can be analysed using probability theory, and it soon becomes obvious that the games are tipped heavily in favour of the trickster!
The idea is this. To start with, you will choose an envelope at random, say by tossing a coin, and look at its contents, which is a cheque for some number - say n. (By randomising like this, you can be sure I haven't subconsciously induced you to prefer one envelope or the other.) You want to make sure that the bigger the number is, the more likely you are to keep it, in other words, the less likely you are to swap.

Can we trust the dosimeters of little-known manufacturers?
Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Accident caused booming demand for radiation measurement instruments not only among the Japanese population, but also among people throughout the world. The finished goods warehouses of the well-known dosimeters manufacturers were left empty in the first week after the accident, while some little-known device manufacturers began to appear in the world market, having felt an opportunity to make money out of a high demand. This situation seems quite logical. However, the devices that have not been properly tested and have been made with deviation from regulatory requirements can become a source of MISINFORMATION about the real radiation situation of the environment and cause panic in people who are not very much familiar with this subject and cannot check or deny the results obtained from these devices.

Today, in a Washington Times op-ed, Bill O'Reilly complains that if President Bush's tax cuts "on those making $250,000 or more" are repealed, "me and other rich folks" would have to finance "folks who dropped out of school, who are too lazy to hold a job, who smoke reefers 24/7." He adds, "I am part of the 1 percent of Americans that paid an astounding 40 percent of all federal income tax in 2006," But, as the Wall Street Journal recently noted, "the average tax rate of the wealthiest 1% fell to its lowest level in at least 18 years."
