Dracula @ Netflix Watch Instantly (req. acct.)

Bela Lugosi turns in a landmark horror performance in this 1931 adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic vampire novel. Revisit Transylvania for the eerie mood created by spectacular cinematography and Lugosi's oft-copied take on the infamous Dracula. Dwight Frye as Renfield also helps define the grotesque and sniveling sidekick role.

Bloodrayne

A half-human, half vampire sets out to destroy her vampire king father in this Gothic horror film based on the video game. Bloodthirsty Lord Kagan (Ben Kingsley) wants his daughter to become a full-fledged vampiress, but fanged femme fatale Rayne (Kristanna Loken) denounces her father's legacy and instead joins up with a trio of vampire hunters (Michael Madsen, Michelle Rodriguez and Matt Davis). Billy Zane and Udo Kier co-star.

BloodRayne 2: Deliverance

The Last Hour

Six hard-core criminals are lured by letters -- each from their late fathers promising wealth beyond their wildest dreams -- to a remote bulletproof house, where they soon discover they have only an hour to live … unless they can survive. The cops are outside awaiting their chance to take out these six, but the group actually has only one thing to fear: the mysterious madman on the inside who's icing them one by one.

Somebody Help Me

Brendan (Marques Houston) and Darryl (Omarion Grandberry) take their girlfriends and a few other buddies to a remote cabin for a weekend. But they soon realize that the locals are not at all what they seem, and terror strikes shortly after. One by one, the vacationers go missing or go dead, and the survivors must team up to get away from this nightmarish getaway in this teen horror flick in the vein of Cabin Fever and The Hills Have Eyes.

Levitation

Rejected by her alcoholic adoptive father and abandoned by her adoptive mother, teenager Acey (Sarah Paulson) must also deal with the fact that she's suddenly begun levitating while she sleeps. Acey enlists the help of disc jockey Downbeat (Ernie Hudson) and the enigmatic Bob (Jeremy London) in her quest to find her real mother. As Acey searches for a family to love her, she also uncovers the truth behind her supernatural condition.

Timber Falls

When Mike (Josh Randall) and his girlfriend, Sheryl (Brianna Brown), go hiking in West Virginia, their idyllic getaway quickly turns into a nightmare they can't seem to wake from. Their choice to follow a less-traveled trail brings them face to face with a homicidal backwoods family with a creepy religious agenda. The next day, when Sheryl vanishes, Mike must comb the woods to find her, enduring a series of horrific events.

(snip)

Fox has released the first Fringe Podcast.

Frankensteinia looks at an early Frankie inspired cartoon (+YouTube link)

"...The Snow Man, produced in 1932, features a nasty North Pole bogeyman with scary claws and a literal stovepipe hat. The Frankenstein theme suggested by reporter Crow is incidental, the snowman being a creature assembled, brought to life and going on a rampage. A year later, the film might have been compared to King Kong instead. The 8-minute film survives today in black and white. Too bad, the aura borealis finale must have been stunning in color..."

But, we're digging them back up - SHOCK IT TO ME!, San Francisco's annual classic horror film festival, devoted to the Golden Age of Horror Cinema, returns to the historic (and haunted) Castro Theatre for its fourth year with live presentations on stage, celebrity guests, trailers of terror, and a vendors area on the Castro's monstrous mezzanine..."

The Most Accurate (and Inaccurate) Predictions About Homes of the Future (io9)

We've whipped up an infographic for you (just click it to expand) that shows what nine movies predicted, and how accurate they were."

Greenbriar Picture Shows has yet another amazing post up. This time, a look at "The Pair That Curled Your Hair", Dracula and Frankenstein!

"...For seven years after their initial release in 1931, showmen regarded them separately. Playdates were infrequent as Universal provided sequels (Bride Of Frankenstein, Dracula's Daughter) beginning right where originals left off, but there were gold deposits untapped even as the mine's route lay not hidden, but in plain sight. The magic was in combining them, but nobody thought of that until seemingly bungled reissues of Frankenstein and Dracula suddenly caught fire together in August 1938..."
