Horror movies tend to find their way into the winner’s — or is it loser’s? — circle at the “worst of” Golden Raspberry Awards every year, but this past weekend, horror and suspense movies went trophy-less, despite nominations for New Moon, Jennifer’s Body and Obsessed. The closest the genre came to “winning” was a special Worst Actress of the Decade award for Paris Hilton, in part for her work in House of Wax and Repo! The Genetic Opera.

It appears that even old standards like Alien are jumping on the 3-D bandwagon. A recent interview with the previously announced Alien prequel’s art director Roger Christian reveals that the plan is to shoot it in 3-D. My only hope that we won’t be bombarded with shots of alien jaws snapping directly into the camera is that Ridley Scott will be directing and will hopefully play down the gimmick factor. I’m afraid, though, that it will take a big-budget 3-D bomb to convince the studios that not EVERY movie has to use that technology.

Long-rumored and long shelved, a remake of the 1989 Stephen King adaptation Pet Sematary has come closer to fruition with the naming of Matt Greenberg as its writer. Greenberg has experience adapting King stories for the big screen, having written the screenplay for 2007’s excellent 1408, and he also has a long track record in the horror genre, Read more…

The supernatural thriller After.Life, which has gone from starring Kate Bosworth (see the horrible early poster) to Christina Ricci and from a presumed major theatrical release to a limited one (starting April 9), now has a nifty new poster and an official trailer, which looks decent enough, but you have to wonder it lives up to the star power, which includes Liam Neeson and Justin Long.

With The Crazies in theaters nationwide and H1N1, bird flu, mad cow disease, SARS and all manner of modern epidemics flying around the place, this seems like an appropriate time to count down the best horror movies featuring infections, viruses, diseases, parasites and all manner of illnesses — except for zombie plagues, which have their own list all to themselves. Grab some Purell and enjoy.

Every year, there seems to be a bit of a lull in major theatrical horror releases between March and May, and this week marks the beginning of Lull 2010.

New This Week: The Wraith and…Um, Yeah, That’s Pretty Much It originally appeared on About.com Horror & Suspense on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 03:20:36.
