Ghoulies: "Take a creepy old Hollywood mansion, a naive young man and a pretty girl. Add an over-the-top orgy and some slimy, winged goblins who crawl out of toilets, and you have Ghoulies, a horrifying and hilarious ride into the darkest regions of hell! Conjured during a party thrown by the mansion's new owner, the hairy, fanged demons waste no time wreaking havoc on the scene – and declaring the unsuspecting owner their new lord and master! Peter Liapis (Ghost Warrior), Lisa Pelkin (Jennifer), Michael Des Barres (Waxwork II, Under Siege) and Jack Nance (Eraserhead, Twin Peaks) star in this fanged frenzy of sharp twists and eye-popping shocks that'll get you where it counts!"

Ghoulies 2: "The demonic, toilet-dwelling goblins are back! Stowed away in "Satan's Den," the traveling House of Horror operated by carnival workers Larry and Uncle Ned, the Ghoulies merrily devour the sideshow attraction's patrons... until Larry realizes his horror house is for real and tries to flee the scene! Deliciously outrageous special effects and over-the-top antics ratchet up the horrific fun! Kerry Remsen (Pumpkinhead), Phil Fondacaro (Troll), William Butler (1990's Night Of The Living Dead) and Royal Dano (Big Bad Mama) star in this creepy, crawly sequel that's got every bit as big a bite as the original!"

Sharknado 3: It was reported last month that that Ian Ziering & Tara Reid will reprise their roles as Fin and April, respectively, in The Asylum’s Sharknado 3.

Deadline reveals that another familiar face will pop up in the second sequel, as Cassie Scerbo will once again play Nova Clarke. The third entry in the “anything goes” franchise will be directed by Anthony C. Ferrante off a screenplay by Thunder Levin. The film makes its debut on the Syfy channel in July and will take place in Washington D.C. and other East Coast areas.

Cold Moon: Though he's well-known for writing screenplays for Tim Burton movies like Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas, the late, great Michael McDowell was also a renowned novelist and one of his books, Cold Moon Over Babylon, is being adapted for the screen with a tried and true cast.

Variety reports that Josh Stewart and Christopher Lloyd will star in Cold Moon, along with Robbie Kay, Candy Clark, Frank Whaley, Rachele Brooke Smith, Laura Cayouette, and Sarah Catherine. Filming is expected to begin in Louisiana before the end of the month. Here's the synopsis (via Variety):

"“Cold Moon” takes place in tiny Babylon, Fla., where the granddaughter of Clark’s character is murdered by a mysterious assailant, her body sunk into the black waters of the Styx River — the river where her parents disappeared from their boat a decade earlier. Suspicion falls on a duplicitous banker and his wealthy father, played by Stewart and Lloyd."
