“Dark Water” (search) is the latest American remake of a Japanese horror film hoping to scare up an audience this weekend.

As if the character played by Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly (search) (“A Beautiful Mind”) doesn’t have enough to deal with in a child custody fight, the divorced mom and her daughter move into a disturbingly spooky building.

“She’s faced with that sort of choice between her and her daughter’s being threatened, and she makes that choice — she’ll do anything to protect her daughter and to keep her safe, and as a parent, I think I absolutely recognize that there’s no question,” Connelly told FOX News.

THE restored Usher Hall organ is set to ring out a symphony of terror to accompany a screening of the classic horror film Nosferatu.

The 1922 German movie is credited as being the first ever film version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and has inspired almost every version made since then.

It is one of the untouchable classics, that is for sure.

And audiences are to be treated to an experience its backers hope will recapture the atmosphere of going to the cinema in the early days of film.

The silent black and white German film was directed by FW Murnau and originally came with the warning “Nosferatu – the name alone can chill the blood”.

It was a huge success when first released at the cinema, always accompanied by a resident organist providing the soundtrack.

What a night of horror film and sound.

Nosferatu is an inspirational vampire piece that is more than timeless.

Someone told us that this is a good flick to pick up. And we needed a vampire category!

Iron Bound Vampire.

Underground Horror Classics. A film by Karl Petry. “Ironbound. An old town with a new taste for blood.”

NO matter what version of this movie you pick up, it’s sure to please your horror needs. It is Army of Darkness.And you can pick up the Boomstick Edition or the Official Bootleg Director’s Cut (which is the one pictured below

Bruce Campbell vs. Army Of Darkness – The Director’s Cut (Official Bootleg Edition)

Widescreen, 15 minutes of additional footage including the original ending…

audio commentary with Sam Raimi, Bruce “Don’t call me Ash” Campbell, and Ivan. 4 never before seen deleted scenes and director storyboards.

A must have for not only the Raimi fan, but Bruce and the Evil Dead story line as well.

The quest for the best Horror DVDs has once again led me not only to Troma flicks, but one arguably worthy for the shelf, or the trash can.

From the box:

Nightmares of the rich and famous! See what happens when the decadent desires of the super rich turn into perverted pleasures and monomaniacal obsessions. Stuff Stephanie In The Incinerator is a burning tale of macabre matrimonial murder and spine tingling suspense that is unlike anything ever before attempted on film! When your wife and best friend are after your hard-earned money, there is only one thing left to do… 1989 – color – 97 minutes – Rated PG-13

Well, it’s a poor attempt at a lot of things, but most of all an edge on horror/humor – which is one thing that is definitely hit or miss.

Horror and humor, go together in an awkward way. This movie tried to do too much with too little. The twists were silly, and of course good in a z-movie kind of way, but not in an entertaining way.

Worth a watch for the silly, even kinky death scenes, not spooky at all – but I own it
