Remember "Joe Millionaire," the cruel twist on dating show conventions that allowed a fleet of love-hungry women to chase a handsome guy on national TV under the misconception he had a ton of money when the reality was he was mostly broke? Ah, those were the days. Fox is back at it again with "I Wanna Marry 'Harry'" (premiering Tues. May 27 at 8:00 p.m. Et). The show has found a lookalike for the Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales (aka Prince Harry) in regular guy Matthew Hicks. Now, 12 suckers, I mean American women, get a chance to date him! Obviously, these women can't be the sharpest knives in the drawer if they think a royal this high up in the line of succession is going to look for love on an American reality TV show, but then again, a free vacation in England may have been temptation enough. The ladies include a preschool teacher,...

Michael Hoffman Jr. and wife Meghan Jones were looking to reinvent the classic "The Slumber Party Massacre" or "Sorority House Massacre" sub-genre of films. Well, looking at the behind the scenes pics from the film, so far to date, they have come up with at least one new cliche or invention for the horror genre-

So who is Meghan Jones? She might not be a name genre fans are familiar with right off the bat, but if you dig those "The Slumber Party Massacre" or "Sorority House Massacre" or heck even "Hard to Die" type of films that came out in the 80's, then you need to start studying up on who this promising writer is. An admirable quality to the films that she co-wrote and co-produced with her hubby, Michael Hoffman Jr., including Spring Break Massacre and Sigma Die was an innate quality to pay homage to the era of those films without being too overly jokey jokey, but still retain a sense of humor that in essence recalled the era of the teen sex comedy and some of those USA Up All Night films, but still managing to keep slasher sensibilities intact.

Over here at Big Daddy Horror Reviews, we would like to extend a celebratory toast to producing, writing partners Meghan Jones and Michael Hoffman Jr., the team behind such immortal classics as Spring Break Massacre, Rot: Reunion of Terror and Sigma Die! We would like to wish you the best of luck with your upcoming nuptials in Las Vegas on Halloween night.The two have shown a knack for putting together films that are amusing little homages to the horror films of the 80's.
With Spring Break Massacre (starring Linnea Quigley and Reggie Bannister in their only on screen appearance together), they paid tribute with an amusingly clever little take on The Slumber Party Massacre. Rot: Reunion of Terror packed one heck of a wallop with a surprising twist ending as it paid homage to Prom Night with a dash of Happy Birthday To Me thrown in. And Sigma Die!

• Fango got word that Anchor Bay will release Julian Doyle’s Chemical Wedding, under the new title of Crowley, in late first quarter 2009. Doyle also scripted the movie with Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson.
The movie stars Simon Callow as a Cambridge University professor who becomes possessed by the spirit of notorious occultist Aleister Crowley. Kal Weber, Lucy Cudden, Jud Charlton, Paul McDowell and John (Mirrors) Shrapnel co-star. Disc details haven’t been solidified, but we’re told there will be an audio commentary and behind-the-scenes footage. The Bay also alerted Fango that it’ll put the 20th Anniversary Edition of Hellraiser out on Blu-ray in April, with all the extras from the DVD. And the company’s cover art for Gilles Paquet-Brenner’s Walled In, starring Mischa Barton and set to hit disc March 17, has surfaced; we’ll have the specs on that one soon.
