For more than 45 years, Kim Phuc has been known as “The Girl in the Picture.” The memories of June 8, 1972, follow her everywhere, from the convention halls where she now gives speeches to the doctor’s office in Florida where she gets laser treatments for the painful scars that wind across her body like timeworn lace.

Ever since her agony was captured in a famous photo after she was burned by a Napalm blast in Vietnam at age 9, Phuc, now 54, dreamed of channeling that dark day into something that would bring hope and beauty into her life.

And now, with her...

We’ve been following the progress of the new folklore-inspired horror flick Bunyan. If you’re at Shockfest in Hollywood next weekend you’ll be the first to get a chance to see the giant lumberjack chop up some campers.

I’ll let the press release fill you in:

Bunyan, the new horror/creature feature from director Gary Jones (Boogeyman 3) and producer Jeff Miller, will have its World Premiere on November 17 at the Shockfest Film Festival in Hollywood.

“We think it’s pretty cool to be a part of Shockfest,” says writer/producer Miller. “They have great things planned. No one’s done this character before in horror, and we think horror fans will enjoy it.”

Bunyan is a dark, contemporary take on the tall tale of lumberjack Paul Bunyan. Kids at a first-offenders’ boot camp discover that the legend of Paul Bunyan is real, but is much more...

If there's anything better than a Nazi in a movie, it's a Nazi in a horror movie. That's why I'm really happy to hear that Dutch filmmaker Raaphorst will finally be able to bring his Nazi zombie vision to the big screen for demented perverts like me, who enjoy nothing better than to see Nazis as zombies, vampires, victims, and villains.

Because they're the perfect villains. Perfect. It's very hard to make an argument about why anyone should have pity for any kind of a Nazi at all, even a non-zombie one, so using them as a device in a horror film is akin to brilliant. Last year's Dead Snow was one of the most original horror movies of the new decade because... the zombies were nazis. Imagine if the zombies in Dead Snow weren't Nazis, but just Danish people: Boring. No one cares abour Danish people. We Do care about Nazis,...

While the Call Of Duty franchise is one of the most popular series' on the planet, it's not typically something you'd expect to see covered here at Fango. But what if it had a little Zombie-killing action thrown into the mix?

Call Of Duty: World At War is the fifth installment of the popular shooter, available November 11th, 2008 for Xbox 360 and PC. Nazi Zombies and World War II? Reminds me a little bit of a 2006 indie film called Horrors Of War.
