by Aliki Taylor, Reviewer
Sure, we all love Joss Whedon and we’re already salivating over his upcoming blockbuster The Avengers, but Dollhouse has been off the air for a while, so what’s he been doing? It turns out he spoiled us years ago.
At the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con, Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse) announced on stage that he and Drew Goddard (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Cloverfield) were co-writing something, describing, “It is a film called Cabin in the Woods, and it is the horror film to end all horror films.

Gift Guides 2008: Horror
The holidays are upon us, and with the season comes the hassle of shopping for those pesky gifts. Well here‘s a quick guide of the best horror I saw this year.
1. The Zombie Diaries – This is my #1 pick of the year for the horror genre. An innovative, small budget film from England, where monsters meet monsters.
2. Wizard of Gore – For the fan of the off-beat, surreal plot that needs to be watched more that once to be comprehended. And every time you watch there’s something new still. If you liked Videodrome, you’ll love this.
3. Diary of the Dead – The latest offering from the maestro, George Romero, this flick gives another prospective of the beginning of the outbreak. Actually I was hooked at George Romero.
4. Mother of Tears – Another flick from across the pond, this time Italy offers up it‘s own brand of horror through Dario Argento. Witchcraft, medieval killing devices, and Asia Argento, yippee ti yo ki yay.
