TV Talk:
How overwhelming fan response and the actions taken by many at the behest of a single entrepreneur peanut vendor have caused CBS execs to rethink their cancellation of new cult favorite “Jericho”. The series will be brought back for a 7-episode run, enough to bring it to a solid conclusion, but no more.

She joins “Slice of SciFi” to tell us all about joining the cast of such an intriguing show with a dedicated fan base, about the differences between working on films and on a TV series, and how being a star in horror movies has made her a huge fan of horror and scifi. And, guess who the prankster on set is.

Ok, so I’m about a month late but here is my nomination for the worst movie: Susperia. I hated it! Thought it was the biggest piece of crap I seen to that moment and what, to me, makes it worse is that it has become some kind of cult megahit. I can’t believe the times this comes up on someone’s top horror list.
IMHO!
