Remember I mentioned a week or so back that Bruce Campbell was going to officiate a marriage ceremony at a zombie convention? Well, this was followed by a ceremony (with Ted Raimi there to help) for a room filled with couples to renew their marriage vows. You can watch that here. The ritual concluded with Bruce Campbell saying, “I now pronounce you zombie and corpse. Man and wife. You may now eat braaaiinnnsss.”

Thanks to Syfy’s Hollywood Treasure, in this extended interview Stan Lee is stunned to see the original artwork for Fantastic Four #12, complete with his original notes. It’s a fascinating moment. Until this, he apparently never found original artwork with his notes accompanying it, due to always erasing them.

The Tim Burton-Johnny Depp version of Dark Shadows should begin shooting in April.

Some casting news for the new Spider-Man movie: Sally Field has been offered the role of Aunt May. Martin Sheen has been cast as Uncle Ben. And Mary Jane won’t appear in the movie at all. This is a terrible casting decision for Aunt May, even if you don’t factor in the bit where I just do not like Sally Field.

Found this out via the MST3K Yahoo Group: Rifftrax is releasing their live shows to DVD. So far, it’s just the Christmas shorts one, and Plan 9 From Outer Space. As of yet, not the Rifftrax Live version of House on Haunted Hill—just the regular Rifftrax they did before.
