The release of horror movies into theaters can be a touchy business. Depending on a variety of factors – from the actual release date and rating of the picture to the general tastes of today’s movie audiences – it is sometimes easier to release a film direct to cable, DVD or On Demand. However, this often limits an audience’s chance to see a B-level horror flick in the actual movie theater. This week is different for the new monster movie Creature, which is the freshman directorial effort of Fred M. Andrews. The film, which tells the story of a group of beautiful people who go for a camping trip into the Louisiana bayou and come face-to-face with a local monster legend, is seeing a wide release in the U.S. Creature star Mehcad Brooks took some time to talk with us about working on this film and shooting in the swamp.

This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr heads into the MMA ring to battle Bane from The Dark Knight Rises, after being trained by a strung-out Nick Nolte who looks like he’s ready to have an aneurysm at any moment. Then he is sent into a bird flu panic when someone coughs on him at the airport. Not wanting to suffer the same fate as Gwenyth Paltrow, he takes a road trip down to the Louisiana bayou where he runs into a hillbilly redneck alligator mutant. But at least he didn’t have to see Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star.
