Anchor Bay Entertainment will release on Oct. 15 its remake of the 1994 cult classic Embrace of the Vampire, an erotic supernatural thriller about a college virgin’s sexual awakening at the hands of handsome vampire. The news comes via scream queen turned producer Christa Campbell.

Up-and-comer Sharon Hinnendael plays Charlotte Wells, the chaste young woman seduced in dreams by a vampire promising her a life of emotional and sexual fulfillment. Alyssa Milano memorably and toplessly played the part in the original.

Hinnendael, no stranger to nudity, is best known for her role as teen party girl Hannah on the short-lived Showtime series “Look.” The Wisconsin-born starlet also stars in the horror-indies Machine Head and Rites of Passage, the fun must-see directorial debut from Point Break writer Peter Iliff.

Colombian knockout and “Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara plays leather-clad femme fatale Madam Desdemona in Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills, a sequel to his 2010 grind-house actioner Machete. Posted above is a new image of Vergara in action featured in this week’s Entertainment Weekly magazine.

You’re welcome. Now use the money you would have spent to buy some proper porn to finish what you’ve started here.

Machete Kills finds ex-federale Machete (Danny Trejo) recruited by the U.S. government to take down a billionaire arms dealer (Mel  Gibson) looking to trigger a world war. The Quickdraw Productions’ film swings into theaters on Oct. 11.

Machete Kills also stars Amber Heard, Zoe Saldana, Lady Gaga, Vanessa Hudgens, Alexa Vega, Antonio Banderas, Demián Bichir, Cuba Gooding Jr; returning players Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba and Charlie Sheen as the President of the United States.

Phase 4 Films has set a Sept. 6 limited theatrical release date for Duane Graves and Justin Meeks’ Butcher Boys, a cannibalistic thriller written by original Texas Chainsaw Massacre scribe Kim Henkel, starring Twilight Saga alumna Ali Faulkner.

The synopsis reads:

A birthday celebration at an upscale restaurant sets in motion events that bring a group of friends face to face with the macabre world of cannibals, the Butcher Boys. The Butcher Boys are international predators who deal in human ­flesh – dead or alive.

Faulkner is coming off Matthew Spradlin’s big-screen adaptation of his and Barry Wernick’s comic book “Bad Kids Go to Hell.” She is best known for her portrayal of bad speller and Volturi secretary Bianca in Twilight: Breaking Dawn — Part One.

Butcher Boys will be made available on home video and VOD on Oct. 8.

Where there’s a whip, there’s a way. Harrison Ford announced this week that he would be game for another go-around as beloved archaeologist and adventurer Dr. Henry Jones in a fifth Indiana Jones film. The 71-year-old icon said all it would take is a little less ass kicking and a strong story.

Ford tells The Telegraph:

We’ve seen the character develop and grow over a period of time and it’s perfectly appropriate and okay for him to come back again with a great movie around him where he doesn’t necessarily have to kick as much ass.

To me, what was interesting about the character was that he prevailed, that he had courage, that he had wit, that he had intelligence, that he was frightened and that he still managed to survive. That I can do.

Here’s hoping the fifth Indy movie makes up for the disappointing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Sucks Balls in the way that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade totally redeemed the series after Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

The Indiana Jones franchise has made close to $2 billion worldwide.

Starlet and Runaways star Stella Maeve is set to play the female lead in Dark Summer, a supernatural thriller from Grace director Paul Solet and screenwriter Mike Le. Production on the Preferred Film & TV project begins this fall.

Synopsis reads:

A highly stylized modern ghost story, Dark Summer follows Daniel Williamson, a 17-year-old on house arrest for the summer. With his mother away on business, a horrifying incident occurs, followed by an even more terrifying presence in the house.

Maeve is coming off the cancelled CBS cop show “Golden Boy” and a star-making turn as a hothead porn star in Sean Baker’s indie drama Starlet. Horror creds include the MTV teen-slasher My Super Psycho Sweet 16: Part 2, the sci-fi thriller Cloned: The Recreator Chronicles and the upcoming Charles Manson followers biopic Manson Girls.

Maeve is best known, however, for her portrayal of drummer Sandy West in the 2010 film The Runaways.

IFC Midnight has released a trailer for director Renny Harlin’s Devil’s Pass, a fact-based survival thriller that finds a group of students heading out to the Ural mountains to investigate the 1959 Dyatlov Pass Incident, where nine Russian skiers died under mysterious, and some say supernatural, circumstances.

Harlin said:

I was fascinated by this story, which remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of modern paranormal lore. The facts, the script, and the very dramatic setting convinced me that there is a thrilling movie there, just waiting to rivet audiences.

Aiding in said riveting will be British model-turned-actress Gemma Atkinson (pictured). The busty (34-E!!!) stunner made her horror debut in the 2012 werewolf thriller Night Wolf, and starred in the in-flight frightener Airborne that same year.

Peep it:

Anchor Bay has set an Oct. 7 release date for DVD and Blu-ray editions of Steven R. Monroe’s I Spit On Your Grave 2, a sequel to his 2010 remake of the controversial 1978 Meir Zarchi rape-revenge thriller. The film is penned by Thomas Fenton (Saw IV, Chain Letter) and Neil Elman (Mongolian Death Worm).

I Spit On Your Grave 2 stars Jemma Dallender (”Hollyoaks”) as an aspiring model lured to a photo shoot in New York to be raped, tortured and taken to a foreign country where she endures more horrors before being buried alive and left to die. The film’s world premiere will be held at this year’s Film4 Frightfest in London.

Monroe’s I Spit On Your Grave starred newcomer Sarah Butler as Jennifer Hill, a young novelist on a mission to maim, dismember, and murder the men who brutally and repeatedly raped her while on holiday in the woods. The film grossed just under $100,000 in its limited theatrical run, but was a hit on home video.

Well Go USA Entertainment has set an Oct. 8 home video release date for Zombie Hunter, starring Danny Trejo as an ax wielding priest attempting to lead a group of zombie apocalypse survivors to the Promised Land, joined by a dude with a bitchin’ Camaro and a chip on his shoulder (Martin Copping).

Zombie Hunter also features the acting debut of Playboy model Jade Regier. She plays Debbie, one of the bustier survivors of the group and the one we most hope will live long enough to enjoy a frivolous skinny dip in a lake.

Peep it:

Universal Pictures has set an Aug. 29, 2014 release date for director Erik Van Looy’s sexually charged who-dun-it The Loft, a remake of his own 2008 Belgian thriller of the same name. The film tells the story of five married men who together rent an apartment where they can each take their mistresses to bone.

Things take a very bad turn when one of their conquests ends up dead and handcuffed to the bed. Convinced neither of them would want to ruin such a perfect set-up, the friends soon begin to suspect each others wives.

Karl Urban (Dredd), James Marsden (Straw Dogs), Eric Stonestreet (”Modern Family”), Wentworth Miller (Resident Evil: Afterlife) and Matthias Schoenaerts (Rust and Bone) play the hubbies. Rhona Mitra (Doomsday), Rachael Taylor (”666 Park Avenue”), Valerie Cruz (”True Blood”) and Isabel Lucas (Transformers 2) play the skirts.

Peep the red band trailer:

Denise Williamson has battled Killer School Girls from Outer Space, brought it on at a deadly Spirit Camp and faced Mexican horrors in Border Break (and, no, we’re not talking street vendor burritos). Her most frightening foe is yet to come, however, in Blair Witch director Eduardo Sanchez’s Big Foot thriller Exists.

Denise was kind enough to talk to Clatto (OK… our creepy late night calls and stalking broke her down) about shooting Exists, working with Sanchez, Big Foot and urban legends and her fear of clowns. Keep up with Denise on Facebook.

Now… let’s chat:

MUERTOS: Tell us about Exists and the character you play?

DENISE: Exists is about a group of friends who venture into the remote Texas woods for a party weekend and find themselves stalked by Bigfoot. My character Elizabeth (Liz) isn’t exactly the outdoorsy type and is ill prepared for a weekend in the woods. She also doesn’t deal with being hunted by a big hairy ape man very well. But ya know, who would?

MUERTOS: The film is directed by Eduardo Sanchez. What was it like working with the guy who gave us The Blair Witch Project? Any unflattering close-ups of your runny nose?

DENISE: Working with Eduardo was great! He gave us a base and allowed us to build on top of that and go where we wanted with our characters. We had a week of rehearsals which gave us the opportunity to work and develop who we wanted our characters to be.

He let us be a part of the creative process and was open to letting us try different things. Personally, he is just a laid back guy who you can go have a beer with and talk about the craziest things.

MUERTOS: You guys shot in the woods. Was that scary or was it all roasted marshmallows and campfire sing alongs?

DENISE: We were never allowed to wonder off into the woods alone. There were only a couple of times we were walking in the dark and you wondered, “What am I about to step in or what’s about to jump out or fall out of a tree?” It was well lit and lots of people were around, so for the most part, there was nothing to be scared of.

They had just had a huge fire in the woods where we shot so there were no camp fires or singalongs, sadly to say. Everyone would get together at the studio and hang out. Shadow dancing and laser wars were very popular. Um, yeah!

MUERTOS: Has there ever been an urban legend you believed in or been scared of?

DENISE: There was this book called “Scariest Stories to Tell in the Dark” that was popular in school. For some reason, my teacher had it in the free time reading collection. We used to love reading those stories, but I don’t remember ever being afraid or thinking they were real.

MUERTOS: What movie monster/creature gives you the creeps and how does Bigfoot compare?

DENISE: Growing up I had a clown just like the one in Poltergeist. I used to be so afraid it was going to come to life and pull me under my bed. The clown in IT was pretty scary as well. Clowns in general are freaky. The thought of Bigfoot doesn’t really scare me, but I’m sure that would change if one was standing in front of me!
