About two years ago, this Shock writer was able to conduct a career spanning interview with actor-turned-director Keith Gordon over on Icons Of Fright. (Check that out right here .) Genre fans of course recognize him in front of the camera for his performances in Jaws 2 , John Carpenter's Christine and Brian DePalma's Dressed To Kill , as well as the Rodney Dangerfield comedy Back To School .
He eventually made the shift over to directing with dramas such as The Midnight Clear and Waking The Dead , but when we initially spoke, he was just tackling episodes from Showtime's second season of Dexter .
Now, he's directed episodes in every season and with "Lost Boys", the 10th episode of Dexter season four debuting this Sunday, we thought this was the ideal time

Jamie Foxx Bringing Back Wanda Is Nothing New: Here Are Five Other Cross-Dressing Oscar Winners

Yesterday, I saw a lot of people calling for Jamie Foxx's Oscar to be revoked following the announcement that he and Martin Lawrence are confirmed for "Sheneneh and Wanda," a comedy in which the duo will play female bank robbers. Both roles are based on earlier cross-dressed characters from the actors' TV days (Lawrence's Sheneneh is from "Martin" and Foxx's Wanda is from "In Living Color"). Foxx, who won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2004 for "Ray" (he was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor that same year for "Collateral), returning to this drag shtick seems like a huge step backward to a lot of people.
"Seems" is the key word here, though, because it doesn't have to be a regression. Plenty of Oscar-caliber actors have cross-dressed before and since being nominated and/or winning an Academy Award, and plenty of performers have won for dressing like the opposite sex.

50 Influential Scream Queens: Part 1

Given man's unwavering fascination with woman, it's no surprise that the female star acts as the anchor to a dominant portion of horror pictures. I mean really, who wants to see a bare chested man tearin ass through the woods screaming at the top of his lungs while a bladed assailant nips at his heels? I don't - I know that much, although I'm certain there are plenty of men who would disagree (and that's okay with me, to each his own!). The simple fact remains however, women bring a unique appeal and certain sensual atmosphere to film that no man ever could. And it's not all about gratuitous T&A.
There's a comforting quality in the hands of the heroine; a fascinating maternal strength that, as a man I cannot genuinely relate to. I can however admire, and in many cases it's nearly impossible to not admire the lone

Stacey Edmond's 'I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer' hits DVD this June!

I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer is - get this - a cricket-themed slasher movie. Stacey Edmonds directed along with Doug Turner, and the movie lands on DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment June 3 in Australia, June 29 in the UK, and June 30 in the States and Canada.
If you thought The Ashes represented the ultimate grudge match between English and Australian cricketers, then think again. This time the game is not only personal, it’s also deadly and the biggest test is to stay alive. Edmonds and Turner’s hilarious and bloody movie puts an irreverent, parodic spin on slasher conventions as well as introducing a unique serial killer who won’t finish his “over” until all his victims are permanently dismissed...
Full of knowing nods to many slasher classics and featuring bucketloads of blood and gore, I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer is a

The Chaos Experiment Theory

Two and a half hours west of Detroit sits the city of Grand Rapids—an unspectacular Midwestern location, but the one where director Philippe Martinez has opted to shoot The Chaos Experiment (a.k.a. The Steam Experiment, the title under which it will be released internationally). With a cast that features such names as Val Kilmer, Armand Assante, Eric Roberts and Patrick Muldoon, along with Quinn Duffy and sexy actresses Eve Mauro, Megan Brown and Cordelia Reynolds, it’s unsurprising that, as Fango arrives on set at 9:00 on a cold Wednesday evening, an excited crowd is gathered behind mildly perturbed-looking security guards, eager to catch a glimpse at the sort of movie stars that rarely set foot in their hometown.
Fango is led to the set where an uneventful bar scene featuring Assante and Martinez’s daughter (making a cameo as a barmaid—the director, whose sister Karinne

A reunion devoted to the 1980 Santa slasher Christmas Evil (a.k.a. You Better Watch Out) will take place at the next West Coast edition of Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors convention, to be held April 17-19 at the Los Angeles Convention Center (1201 South Figueroa). Attending the panel will be writer/director Lewis Jackson and his star, Brandon Maggart, who also appeared in Brian De Palma’s Dressed To Kill.
A favorite of cult director John Waters, Christmas Evil, which will also be screened at the con, concerns a frustrated toymaker (Maggart) who dresses up in a Claus costume to mete out bloody justice to those who’ve been naughty. Other exciting guests/programs set for Fango’s Southern California blowout (and this is just the early tip of the iceberg!) include:
• Tobin Bell: Saw series star—Jigsaw himself!—also seen in Boogeyman 2, Buried Alive, The X Files,
