August 4:
This remake of the '70s nature-gone-amok film
Long Weekend has been renamed
Nature's Grave for some reason and is going straight to video. At least it still stars Jim Caviezel.
August 18:
A passable remake of the
Wes Craven exploitation movie.
September 8:
It's the 21st century
X-Files, with slightly more narrative cohesion (so far).
Harper's Island: The Complete Series: Experience this enjoyable TV show in one sitting, like a 13-hour slasher movie.
September 15:
We never got to see the last few episodes of this NBC horror anthology last year (thanks a lot, Olympics), but now you can get 'em all in one set.
Grace: After her unborn child dies, a woman insists on carrying the baby to term. When she delivers, the child miraculously returns to life -- with a taste for human blood.
September 22:
Based on a Clive Barker story, this film involves a bogus psychic who fakes messages from the dead but discovers to his dismay that the dead have notoriously poor senses of humor.
October 6:
More killer babies! This one is a remake of the '70s cult fave about a mutant baby that kills when it's scared.

The viral epidemic movie
Carriers sat on the shelf for some time, gathering dust in Hollywood limbo, before a little movie called
Star Trek came along, which happened to star the same actor as
Carriers, Chris Pine. Now, lo and behold, it's been fast-tracked for a September 4 release date. Hopefully, the initial delay had more to do with the 2008 consolidation of Paramount Vantage's resources into Paramount than the movie's quality. Judging from the
trailer, it looks pretty decent.

Tyler Labine, whose breakout role as Sock on
Reaper earned him a starring role in a Fox TV sitcom this fall, has also scored a leading role in an upcoming horror-comedy movie entitled
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. The film has one of the funnier concepts I've heard in a while: two hillbillies are mistaken for psycho killers by a group of college kids camping near their cabin.
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil also stars Alan Tudyk (of TV's
Firefly) as one of the titular characters.
