ABC has green lit their new TV horror 666 Park Avenue as it gets picked up for a full season. Sure enough, a trailer was released to spark more interest towards the series. Check out the video below (video may not be viewable in territories outside US).
The thriller is based on a book of the same name by Gabriella Pierce which centers on a young couple (played by Rachael Taylor and Dave Annable) who got an offer to manage an entire apartment building in New York City. Little do they know that the building is also home to a number of supernatural residents. Personally, I think of it as a cross between the TV series American Horror Story and the Stephen King movie 1408 (with John Cusack). How about you?

This past weekend, Saturday Night Live celebrated its 100th Digital Short with a star-studded musical. Other than Will Ferrell who also hosted that evening, the short’s guest stars included Natalie Portman, John Hamm, Justin Timberlake, and Michael Bolton, all of whom reprised their roles from their previous featured shorts.
The short started off with an intro courtesy of Andy Samberg together with Jorma Taccone and Justin Bieber (who filled in for Akiva Schaffer) and ended with Usher giving out a brief commentary. Got you curious? Then check out the video below:

Frankly, I don’t know what the folks behind the studios were thinking but for some reason, as part of their promotion for the upcoming movie ‘Piranha 3DD’, they treated us with a short clip of David ‘The Hoff’ Hasselhoff playing out some tunes on an electronic keyboard.
That was just a few days ago, and if you think that scene was kind of pointless, wait till you see what they have for us now. It’s a video of Gary Busey talking about Piranha safety. The video consists bloopers and outtakes of Gary’s interview and HitFix was first to come out with the clip. You just gotta hand it to Gary being Gary. If it weren’t for his umm… eccentricity, the whole video probably would’ve looked more pointless than David’s (with all due respect to The Hoff).
Maurice Sendak, one of the most celebrated authors and illustrators whose famous works In the Night Kitchen and Where the Wild Things Are revolutionized children’s books with its angsty elements, died early Tuesday in Danbury, Conn., after having a stroke on Friday, according to friend Lynn Caponera. He was 83.
Sendak, who is considered a cornerstone for the genre, left a legacy of children’s books and generations of hardcore fans.
Some of you might remember my post last week about this podcast called the Zombie Prep Network, a channel that gives you tips on how to survive a zombie apocalypse. Well, this morning I thought (and was even hoping that) I’d feature a podcast about a robot apocalypse but as it turns out, there doesn’t seem to be any. What I did manage to come up with however, is this video I found over at YouTube.
In this nice short video, best-selling author Daniel H. Wilson gives the viewers some nice tips on not just how to spot signs of a potential [robot] uprising but also how one can increase his/her chances of surviving the robot apocalypse if or when it happens. Enjoy the vid!
Also, aside from How to Survive a Robot Uprising, Daniel H. Wilson also wrote the book entitled Robopocalypse: A Novel. You can learn more about him and the Robopocalypse HERE.
