MTV plans to bring back Teen Wolf, we have a sneak peek at Halloween Horror Night's attraction SAW: Game Over and your childhood nightmares are about to return with the scary clowns of Left 4 Dead 2.

MTV to Revive Teen Wolf
According to The Hollywood Reporter, in an attempt to bring back the wonders of scripted TV (what bout music MTV? What about music?), MTV has ordered a pilot for a new series based on the old-ish 80’s flick Teen Wolf.

Liz Gateley, Senior VP MTV tells THR that "It has a fresh take and is very different from the original. It has more of an 'American Werewolf in Paris' feel to it. It's a dramatic thriller with two best friends in the center who provide a great comedy element: They are two very relatable characters on the outer circles of popular cliques."

Am I the only one who thinks that the original Teen Wolf was MEANT to be campy?

Left 4 Dead 2 to Feature Scary Clowns!

Universal’s Halloween Horror Night’s SAW: Game Over Sneak Peek
Actually, it’s less of a sneak peek than it is an example of publicity at its finest, but it does give us the first look at the ‘pig man’ costume and two girls that appear to be scared out of their wits from the SAW maze. According to Universal, “Saw: Game Over” is one of four fearsome new  "live" maze experiences and six new "scare zones" to be featured at the all-new "Halloween Horror Nights" for 2009 at Universal Studios Hollywood (SM). In addition to the “Saw” attraction, new “live” experiences will be based upon the movies “Halloween,” “My Bloody Valentine,” “Shaun of the Dead” and “Child’s Play” (featuring “Chucky”) in 16 nights of intense horror beginning October 2.’ This year’s event in L.A. is really shaping up, more info here.
