We’re getting this week started with a new episode of the Wtf Really Happened to This Horror Movie? video series, and this time we’re looking at the awful true crime story behind the 2007 film The Girl Next Door (watch it Here). To find out all about the crimes that inspired the movie, check out the video embedded above.
Based on a novel by Jack Ketchum, The Girl Next Door was directed by Gregory Wilson from a screenplay by Daniel Farrands and Philip Nutman. The film has the following synopsis: A teen suffers horrible abuse at the hands of her caretaker, who also encourages the neighborhood boys to torment the girl.

We don’t get our bearings as far as locale and characters go until a little ways into Alexandre Carrière’s Jade’s Asylum. While we’ve already met Jade (Morgan Kohan) and her boyfriend Toby (Kjartan Hewitt) in the midst of a fight wherein he blames his infidelity on her need for a therapist (if his infidelity can be believed along with anything that occurs on-screen), it’s two police officers engaged in an illicit affair (Mauricio Morales’ Alvares and Diana Marcela Aguilar Chavez’s Vasquez) who fill us in on their surroundings with palpable disdain. They don’t like that these rowdy Americans have come to Costa Rica to throw money around and build a party mansion for drugs and women away from prying eyes because they know only bad things can result.

A couple of weeks ago we told you about "Modern Family" star Nolan Gould joining the Chiller TV adaptation of Brian Keene's Ghoul and now the famed author of the living dead has given fans a first look at the little scamp on-set.
"Here’s me and Nolan Gould on the set of Ghoul," writes Keene on his site. "I’ve said in interviews that Ghoul’s Timmy is one of my most autobiographical characters. Now Nolan is playing him, and knocking it out of the park. It’s very strange to see someone playing a fictionalized version of yourself as a kid, and I’m deeply honored and humbled by Nolan’s portrayal."
Gould is starring along with acting vet Barry Corbin (No Country for Old Men, "The Closer") in Chiller TV’s first original telefilm.

Brian Keene's Ghoul is one of my favorite recent books. A wonderful slice of 80s nostalgia and spooky horror show, it's the perfect source material to make a truly memorable and heartfelt horror film. And here's some casting for you.
The Hollywood Reporter tells us that Nolan Gould (of TV's "Modern Family") will take center stage in Ghoul, co-starring with acting vet Barry Corbin (No Country for Old Men, "The Closer") in Chiller TV’s first original telefilm.
Based on the novel by Keene, Ghoul centers on a group of young friends who risk their lives to stop who — or what — is behind a handful of disappearances in their town. The TV movie was penned by William M. Miller and is directed by Gregory M. Wilson. Moderncine’s Andrew van den Houten and Robert Tonino are producing.

Offspring Directed by Andrew van den Houten The horror genre must be doing wonders to Maine’s tourism development. Having spent many a summer on the quaint sandy beaches in small town Maine, never did I once come across a cannibalistic feral child wielding an impressively handcrafted axe nor did I encounter any wild mutts with the sole intention of playing fetch with my intestines. I did, however, see old men, a wicker shop and a life size lobster, which at night time could seem pretty scary. And yet here we have Jack Ketchum’s Offspring (directed by Andrew van den Houten) a traumatically gory look at a nomadic cannibalistic family living in backwoods Maine, feeding off the meat of small town beachcombers, telling me yet another story about how there’s no fucking way I’m ever going back to New England. It isn’t every day that you...
