While I never really cared for Rob Zombie’s music, and had no real interest in seeing his movies (although, what I have seen of his remake of Halloween seemed quite good) – he has always been an interesting, and sometimes funny person to listen to, no matter what he may be talking about.

Which is why you should tune in on August 22nd to Post Mortem with Mick Garris on FEARnet.com and On Demand (VOD) for a five-part interview with Rob Zombie where he talks about everything from his music, his movies, and even how he would love to make a Western someday (yes, a Western). The show will also premiere on FEARnet’s cable channel on August 27th. Hit the jump for the official press release, photos, and a preview clip of the interview!

Anyone who has read comic books or loves superhero movies has thought about what it would be like to actually disguise oneself and take on a superhero persona to go out and fight crime. Most of us probably pretended to do so when we were kids (I, for one, always wanted to be Batman). Well, believe it or not, there are actually real-life “superheroes” out there who literally wear a mask or some sort of disguise to cover up their identities in order to perform heroic deeds (some actually don’t disguise themselves). Whether it’d be assisting in community service needs such as helping the homeless, or actually combating crime (either by alerting the proper authorities or fighting criminals on their own), these people actually exist.

While they aren’t exactly Batman or Spider-Man, and perhaps have delusions of grandeur, they have set out to help the world with the best intentions. HBO’s newest documentary, appropriately titled Superheroes (premiering Monday, August 8th at 9PM), dives into the motivations of these people who feel compelled to take the law into their own hands. It features interviews with many of the so-called superheroes, as well as other commentators who give their take on the subject, including Marvel’s own Stan Lee. It really looks like it’ll be quite an amazing documentary to say the least. You can check out the official trailer, press release, photos, and an interview with Superheroes director Michael Barnett after the jump!

Today, the official website for Christopher Nolan’s highly-anticipated film, The Dark Knight Rises finally launched, delivering quite an odd viral campaign for the film. If you go to the website, it takes you to a black page with an audio clip of strange chanting playing in the background. If you’re much, much smarter than I am, you’ll figure out that the audio file can lead you to a Twitter feed called @TheFireRises that sends out replies to users putting the hashtag #TheFireRises in a status update, which in turn takes user avatars to compose a mosaic that will eventually reveal an image of Tom Hardy as Bane. Whew!

While the Twitter feed is still sending out replies as of right now, thankfully someone got their timing screwed up and already posted the photo on The Dark Knight Rises Facebook page. Hit the jump to check it out!
