Benedict Cumberbatch and Imogen Poots Should Date: Let's Make CumberPoots a Thing
Does anybody remember laughter? Laughter, in conjunction with beautiful people holding hands and smiling on red carpets?
In a world where Brangelina, Bennifer, Bennifer 2 and TomKat (sorry, Suri, have a cupcake) have all been earnestly embraced by the media and public at large, we have but one whole-hearted plea: just let us have some fun again. There's nothing wrong with being obsessed with celebrity couples (we are, totally), but you know what else is totally allowed? Laughter.
On that note, please consider throwing your support behind CumberPoots. Or, for the uneducated, Benedict Cumberbatch and Imogen Poots.

Get Some Action... With 'Fright Night'
DreamWorks
"I'm a good date -- get me drunk and I'll try anything," says master stage magician Peter Vincent (David Tennant) to young Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) during one of their more dangerous and dubious vampire-hunting expeditions in "Fright Night."
A good date doesn't necessarily have to involve intoxication (or actual vampire hunting). If you plan on taking a lovely mortal to the new horror comedy, there are many ways you can make this "Night" truly one to remember.
Wait, did we say "Night?" There's going to be more to it than that. Unlike actual vampires, you and your date are able to move around during the day -- we're assuming, anyway -- so your perfect "Fright Night" date actually begins in the afternoon... Get More »

Colin Farrell Frightens Crap Out of Us in 3 'Fright Night' Clips
DreamWorks
In 1985, William Ragsdale and Roddy McDowall took suburban vampire hunting to the next level in "Fright Night." Now the cult classic is getting a 21st century facelift in the form of Colin Farrell as the seductive bloodsucker named Jerry who's making local teens disappear.
Filling Ragsdale and McDowall's shoes are Anton Yelchin as Charley and David Tennant as Peter Vincent, and taking over Stephen Geoffreys's duties as the irrepressible "Evil" Ed Thompson is "Superbad" star Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
Can Pavel Chekov and Dr. Who save the townsfolk before they all get fanged by Jerry? Find out on Friday when "Fright Night" gets you out of the sunlight and into the theater for some vampire-staking fun -- and get ready with the three clips below. Get More »

Kid Cudi Cries Vampire in 'No One Believes Me' Video
YouTube
It's lonely business believing in vampires.
Kid Cudi mopes around a suburban wasteland, peeking in on his undead neighbors, a slave to his horrible knowledge in the music video for "No One Believes Me," the hip hop artist's contribution to the "Fright Night" soundtrack.
The song and video hits just the right balance between true existential dread and a kind of pop self-consciousness, a tightrope act that "Fright Night" itself needs to pull off if it's going to work. It's a difficult trick, but we're confident the reboot of the 1985 horror comedy has it up its sleeve. Get More »

Colin Farrell Sinks His Teeth Into 'Fright Night' Trailer
Dreamworks
While remakes can come in all shapes and sizes (pointless, shadows of the original, cheap knock-offs and faithful homages) they are rarely an improvement on the original. However, the upcoming "Fright Night" looks to have that potential.
With a new screenplay written by geek idol Marti Noxon ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel") and a pretty impressive cast, we're betting this sequel has the goods. Get More »
