Horror is a popular whipping boy within the mainstream media and even amongst a certain segment of horror fans who never seem satisfied with the state of the genre. Sure, nothing is ever perfect, but there’s reason to celebrate if you’re a fan of horror movies in the 21st century. In fact, there’s at least 10 of them to consider as Thanksgiving nears.

The post-apocalyptic thriller The Road dominates the release schedule this week as far as horror/suspense goes, as DVDs pretty much take the week off.

New Moon beat even the most optimistic of projections this past weekend by racking up an estimated $140 million at the box office, the third-highest opening weekend in history — trailing only The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 3. That figure includes a record one-day gross of $72.7 million, which itself includes a record take of $26.3 million from opening night midnight showings — enough money to maybe boost the shirt budget for the next film. Final numbers are due late Monday.

Stephen and Steven might sound like an ’80s detective show, but it will actually be a teaming of entertainment titans, with Stephen Steven Spielberg’s studio DreamWorks signing on to the previously rumored TV adaptation of Steven Stephen King’s latest novel, Under the Dome. Variety calls the project a “limited series,” which I assume means a miniseries, although I’ve always thought that more TV shows should adopt the telenovela format and run for just a few months. No writer, cast or even channel has been attached to Dome, but Showtime seems like a logical destination, given DreamWorks’ recent association with the channel (United States of Tara).

Although there’s no official word yet, a couple of sources are indicating that the DVD for the smash hit Paranormal Activity might hit shelves as early as December. MoviesOnline.ca is reporting that the DVD will be released on December 29 — just in time for…no particular gift-giving occasion. VideoETA, meanwhile, estimates a January release date. Either way, the home video release would come an unusually brief 10 to 15 weeks following the movie’s wide release in theaters — perhaps an attempt to strike while the iron’s hot on this faddish film.

This week is all about New Moon‘s dominance of the box office and how complete said dominance will be (some say $100 million-plus is possible). On DVD, meanwhile, Thirst, Train and the thriller The Canyon lead the way in an otherwise light week.
