There are days when I’m just totally convinced that Hollywood has the short-term memory of certain breeds of hamster. Following the summary demotion of Midnight Meat Train, part of Clive Barker’s Books of Blood series, from major theatrical release to direct-to-video sludge-pile comes the announcement that there will be FOUR MORE installments of the Books of Blood series.

Listed titles so far will include nigh-pedophiliac romp “The Madonna”, “The Book of Blood”, which will feature the mutilation of a pseudo-psychic by a series of ghosts who turn said pseudo-psychic into a living book by carving words into his flesh, a strange sort of Saw-knockoff (even though this likely came first) called “Dread”, and lastly, a truly incomprehensible Clive Barker masterwork called “Pig Blood Blues” apparently involving people who transfer their souls into pigs so they can live forever.

Yeah, I’m just as confused as you no doubt are, and not looking forward in the least to more Clive Barker wastes of space. Seriously, who gives this moron publishing deals? There are GOOD books, GOOD movies out there just waiting breathlessly for their shot at the big time and what do we bring in? Pig Blood Blues.

I’m quite thoroughly disgusted.

Let’s all go get the horrible taste of failure out of our mouths with the horror movie trivia on Kwanzoo.
