It's time for Horror Bites -- your (semi) daily round-up of blood, guts, and torturous mayhem from around the web:

After meeting and falling for each other on True Blood, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are taking their horror romance to the big screen with a thriller called Open House, to be directed by her brothers Andrew Paquin. [via Bloody Disgusting]

Moviehole reports that Ian Somerhalder is adding to his horror repertoire by supplementing his Vampire Diaries stint with a gothic fairytale called Cradlewood, which has him heir to a fortune that's got creepy history.

John Landis' Burke and Hare has gotten one sweet casting announcement. Arrow in the Head reports that David Tennant -- aka the recently replaced Doctor Who -- has joined Simon Pegg in the sadistic blood fest.

How will slasher fare play on MTV? You can get a hint over at ShockTilYouDrop, where they've thrown up a clip of MTV's My Super Psycho Sweet 16.

It's not yet May, but it is time for an official website for Darren Bousman's Mother's Day, as Dread Central reports.

And finally, if you need Milla Jovovich horror to get you through the week, head to Bloody Disgusting for a few TV spots for The Fourth Kind.]]>mothersday Rebecca De Mornay Expects Presents on 'Mother's Day'http://www.horrorsquad.com/2009/09/01/rebecca-de-mornay-expects-presents-on-mothers-day/http://www.horrorsquad.com/2009/09/01/rebecca-de-mornay-expects-presents-on-mothers-day/http://www.horrorsquad.com/2009/09/01/rebecca-de-mornay-expects-presents-on-mothers-day/#commentsBy Monika Bartyzel

In May we got the creepiest Mother's Day news ever -- Darren Lynn Bousman was prepping a remake of Charles Kaufman's Mother's Day -- a film where a few boys rape and murder some girls to please their sadistic mother. It was just the sort of thing for the mom who already has enough flowers. But now the flick's got a more socially palatable plot, and our favorite evil caregiver. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Rebecca De Mornay has signed on to play Mom.

This incarnation zeroes in on a "wicked family" who decides to return to the house they grew up in and "terrorize the new owners and their guests." But it won't just be about the grown-up kids tapping into their murderous tendencies. De Mornay comes in as "Mother," who "will go to any length to protect her children." Bring on the De Mornay evil! If intent means anything for the final product, her involvement should be viciously sweet. Bousman says: "Every time you look at (Rebecca), she is on fire and to take her to this level, which is like her role in Hand That Rocks the Cradle times a thousand, is exciting. She is not some Freddy Krueger or Jason, so it was important for me to get a real actress."

De Mornay has had some horror fare since her classic stint as Mrs. Mott/Peyton Flanders, but nothing has rang as sweetly as Cradle. Would anyone have imagined that a Troma remake would possibly bring her back to that chill-worthy world? Production begins this month in Winnipeg with a cast that includes Jaime King, Shawn Ashmore, Briana Evigan, Alexa Vega, Matt O'Leary and Deborah Ann Woll. Are you ready for De Mornay's return to caretaker creeps?]]>mothersday 'Fantastic Four' Gets the Reboot, 'Teen Wolf' Heads to MTV: Movie News for 9/1http://insidemovies.moviefone.com/2009/09/01/fantastic-four-reboot-teen-wolf-tv-series/http://insidemovies.moviefone.com/2009/09/01/fantastic-four-reboot-teen-wolf-tv-series/http://insidemovies.moviefone.com/2009/09/01/fantastic-four-reboot-teen-wolf-tv-series/#comments

Wow, what does Darren Lynn Bousman's mom get for her special day? News that her son is remaking Charles Kaufman's Mother's Day, a 1980 exploitation horror flick from Troma that follows the hilarious misadventures of two brothers whose mom likes to watch them rape and murder women. Wait, did I say hilarious? Sorry, I meant icky and effed up. (But that doesn't mean I'm not going to Netflix it.) And no, it's not an existential and tripped-out treatise on love and mortality a la Charlie Kaufman. Charles Kaufman wrote and directed Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters, directed and produced Sextasy, and wrote Squeeze Play. He also has uncredited roles in Mother's Day as a cocaine addict and Squeeze Play as "Man with Popcorn in his Nose."]]>mothersday I think my mothering duties are worth $0http://www.walletpop.com/2009/05/11/i-think-my-mothering-duties-are-worth-0/http://www.walletpop.com/2009/05/11/i-think-my-mothering-duties-are-worth-0/http://www.walletpop.com/2009/05/11/i-think-my-mothering-duties-are-worth-0/#commentsI have, in years past, had mixed feelings about the annual estimations of a mother's worth, portioned out into little bits of hourly wages for laundry, cooking, and "managing" her household, and usually coming out just over the maximum salary I ever earned in my life (with an Ivy League MBA, that is) (of course, I was a mom for most of my career).

This year I finally figured out what, exactly, was my problem with these "statistics": I think my time as a mom is worth zero, monetarily speaking.

I have tried every sub-genre of the working mom life: freelancing work that allows me lots of time to spend with my three little boys and around the house; working from home in a demanding corporate job that required lots of travel; traditional office work (when I had only one baby); and coming soon, as an Army wife with deployed husband.

So I feel I have a pretty good idea of the many different ways mothers can occupy their time. And reading this economist's take on a mother's value (which was generous in spirit, but argued moms weren't really worth nearly as much, due to the inflated hours reported in the survey on which the PR figure is based) gave me more perspective.

Here's the thing: being a mother is unquantifiable and shouldn't be expressed in dollar figures.]]>mothersday Right now on Cinematicalhttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/11/right-now-on-cinematical/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/11/right-now-on-cinematical/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/11/right-now-on-cinematical/#commentsThe folks at our sister site Cinematical are working hard to give you news and reviews of the best -- and worst -- the silver screen has to offer. Here are some of their musings on the latest blockbusters, indies, and everything in between:
  • Do you think reality television is ruining documentaries? Join the discussion over at Cinematical.
  • Yesterday was Mother's Day, everybody! Did you do something nice for the special mama in your life? Did you make her coffee? Moms like it when people make them coffee, and breakfast, of course, but if you can't at least make them coffee, then what good are you? Anyway, in honor of this, the holiest of all holidays, Cinematical Seven takes a look at the Most Awesomest Movie Moms.
  • Apparently, some people boycott films because of political leanings and such. I am currently boycotting all of them (by which I mean that I have a baby and am never allowed to leave the house).
  • Did you know that both Ishtar and Dirty Dancing came out in the summer of '87? Take a trip down memory lane over at Cinematical.

(S34E22) Justin Timberlake returned for his third turn as host and it was tough not to keep expectations pretty high. I mean, if an vengeful warlock were to suddenly put a crippling curse on his music career (like they do), Timberlake could definitely fall back on being a professional SNL host. Yes, this would become a real profession, just for him.

As usual, some sketches fell a bit flat, but Timberlake's over-confident, hammy swagger made things a little more interesting. This particular episode also gave us another legendary musical Digital Short with Timberlake and Andy Samberg and a couple of all-around MILFs. It's tough to top a surprise appearance by Leonard effin' Nimoy, but "Motherlover" was certainly the highlight of the evening. Here are some other notable video moments!]]>mothersday Justin Timberlake -- Mother Lover http://www.tmz.com/2009/05/10/justin-timberlake-mother-lover/http://www.tmz.com/2009/05/10/justin-timberlake-mother-lover/http://www.tmz.com/2009/05/10/justin-timberlake-mother-lover/#commentsJustin Timberlake and Andy Samberg from last night's "SNL" is just too funny not to watch.

If more fathers were as committed to their children as the typical mother, the world would probably be a better place, although nobody would ever be allowed to play football.

That being said, 2009, a year in which motherhood has so far been defined by the "Octomom," has not been the best for the female parent.

Remember to thank your Mom this Sunday. Photo courtesy of sxc.hu.

Every year, the National Mother's Day Committee honors women who have managed to build successful careers while nurturing their families and improving the lives of others. Past honorees have included Meryl Streep, Katie Couric, Caroline Kennedy, and Barbara Bush.

This year, five notable women were recognized for successfully balancing their careers with the demands of motherhood. Gert Boyle, Mika Brzezinski, Maria Shriver, Trudy Sullivan and Deborah Walters may be very different from each other, but they do share an important commonality: They are all mothers to exceptional children of whom they are very proud.

The 31st annual Outstanding Mother Awards benefit luncheon was held on May 8 in New York City with proceeds from the event benefiting the Save the Children's U.S. Programs. I sat down with three of these accomplished women to ask them about their views on work and motherhood.

Favorite Celebrity Moms

    Ricki Lake has gone from chubby teen to sexy mama. She's also an outspoken advocate for a kinder, gentler, less medicalized birth. She attributes her passionate interest in childbirth to the arrival of her sons, and to the experiences she had giving birth to them.

    Getty

    Gwen Stefani proves that becoming a mom doesn't mean the end of your rock-n-roll days. Stefani's sons Kingston and Zuma regularly accompany her on tour. We're waiting to see how long it takes for them to form a band.

    Getty

    Marcia Cross makes parenting twins look like a breeze, despite the fact that her life is anything but simple. Cross' husband, Tom Mahoney, was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, but that hasn't stopped the Desperate Housewives star from toting her girls to playdates and enjoying every minute of being their mom.

    Getty

    After ten years, Kate Winslet was reunited with "Titanic" co-star Leonardo di Caprio in "Revolutionary Road," where she played a disaffected wife and mother who wants out of her suburban live. In real life, though, Winslet is a devoted mom; she brought her kids to work with her during the filming of "Revolutionary Road," which was directed by her husband, Sam Mendes.

    Getty

    We can't talk about moms without mentioning Hollywood's Superest Super Mom. Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt have the most famous of all celeb broods, with six children, three adopted and three biological. We don't know how she does it, but we're impressed anyway.

    Getty

    Reese Witherspoon is easily Hollywood's cutest single mom, although rumor has it she won't be single for long. Witherspoon, who divorced baby daddy Ryan Philippe in 2006, is dating cutie Jake Gyllenhaal; we're just waiting for an engagement announcement.

    Getty

    Gwyneth Paltrow went from It Girl to Hip Mama, with a website and a cooking show under her belt. Gwyneth proves that having babies doesn't mean you can't still be cool, or that you can't still look great. We just want to know how she's still able to look so hot in those super-short skirts.

    Getty

    We have to admit that we didn't have very high hopes for Nicole Richie as a mom, but she has surprised us. In fact, we have to say we're pretty darn impressed. Richie, who is expecting her second child, has giving up her partying and taking to mommying. She's also using her celebrity -- and her wealth -- to help moms in need. Good work, Nicole!

    Getty

    We love Katie Holmes because she's living proof that moms don't have to look frumpy or dumpy. Even Holmes' casual wear is chic and cool, and her hair is the perfect hip mom cut.

    Getty

    Jennifer Garner is the celebrity mom we would like to live next door to. Her welcome smile and down-to-earth attitude are exactly what we want in a mom friend. And her husband is hunky, too! Perfect.

A big-screen television or a gorgeous Le Creuset makes for a flashy present, but nothing quite matches the gift that requires a little effort, especially when kidlets are involved. In honor of Mother's Day, here's a super-cute Epicurious video featuring Chef Bill Telepan (of Telepan restaurant in New York City) and his daughter, Leah, as they make a quick and easy chilled cucumber and dill soup for Mom.

We won't give away all of Leah's one-liners, but she makes the video sparkle with her kid-cook commentary about everything from salt ("That's a lot of salt!") to tuna ("ew!"). Best of all, this is only the beginning: the soup is part of an entire Epicurious Mother's Day Picnic Menu encompassing all sorts of picnicky fare. Enjoy!
