More than a year ago, Shia LaBeouf signed on to star in the yet-to-be-written big-screen adaptation of Horns, the bestselling novel by Joe Hill (AKA Stephen King's son) about a man who, upon suspicion that he murdered his girlfriend, begins to sprout horns out of his head.

We got a glimpse of Dark Circles a few months ago, and now we have word on two more of the eight planned entries: Asylum and Red Clover. And yes, the latter is what it sounds like: a killer leprechaun film. But wait, it's not just any ol' killer leprechaun film; it's apparently the same Billy Zane movie that aired on SyFy earlier this year as Leprechaun's Revenge. So...what gives? Darned if I know.
