In, um, interesting news, Michael Bay (cough*hack*cough) is in talks to re-make "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Near Dark", among other horror classics. Your humble host is not amused.

And last, but not least, famed "women's fiction" publisher Harlequin has launched a new line of "paranormal romances". I laugh heartily already.
