The frustrating pandemic thriller Blindness makes its TV debut this week on Thursday, July 16, at 5:50 AM on Starz. Also premiering is the low-budget horror-comedy One-Eyed Monster, starring porn legend Ron Jeremy's um, well, you know what. Catch it on Saturday, July 18, at 11:00 PM on The Movie Channel.

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.

I was mildly concerned last year when Universal pushed the release of the Wolf Man remake back more than six months, but now there are all kinds of warning signs, with word that there have been six weeks of re-shoots. The main sticking point is the design of the Wolf Man itself, which presumably will look different from the pic to the right -- more animalistic and walking on all fours. A (climactic?) battle between the Wolf Man and a werewolf in particular was redone to boost the scene's thrill factor. Now, before the film opens on November 6, if only I can figure out the difference between a werewolf and a wolf man...

Looks like Halloween this year might not be dominated by the Saw franchise, as it has been for the past several years. The Box, starring Cameron Diaz and James Marsden and directed by Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko), is set to open on October 30 in what will presumably be a wide release. The new trailer looks promising -- certainly better than 2008's Saw alternative, The Haunting of Molly Hartley (shudder).

Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, the pair who've written the last three Saw films and all three pics in the Feast series (thanks to their success on the TV show Project Greenlight), next bring us The Collector, an intriguing tale of a would-be burglar who breaks into a house that's already under siege by a masked madman. Dunstan is making his directorial debut. The trailer looks promising, and you won't have long to wait for the final product, which hits theaters on July 31 (likely in limited release).

You know their faces but not their names. They're the character actors who populate your favorite horror movies -- rarely the lead, but always willing to take an axe to the skull for our entertainment. Here are two dozen notable horror character actors you might recognize.

About.com is a big site, and we know it can be hard to hard to search for all the information you want, so starting Thursday, July 9, there will be a new newsletter dedicated to TV and movie highlights from About.com's entertainment channel. It's called Screening Room, and to sign up for it, just go to http://talk.about.com.

Could a Jennifer's Body trailer be anything but red band? (i.e., it's got some bad language.) ShockTillYouDrop.com has the first peek at the Megan Fox film, which combines horror elements (Fox plays a man-eating demon) with writer Diablo Cody's trademark teenage snarkiness. All in all, it looks pretty fun -- like a satanic Juno. Check out the trailer now before the movie opens on September 18.

A light week in horror witnesses the opening of Blood: The Last Vampire in limited release, while DVD releases are headed by The Unborn and Night Train.

It's been several weeks since the last wide theatrical horror release (Drag Me to Hell), so I'm eagerly anticipating Orphan's July 24th arrival -- in part because of the drought and in part because it looks like it could be a fun, semi-campy popcorn movie. But then again, I have a soft place in my heart for killer kid flicks. Until the 24th, check out these clips from Orphan.
