Lifetime witches can be so caring and generous, I've heard. Lifetime has ordered ten episodes of the new TV show Witches of East End , about a mother witch of two ( Julia Ormond ), and her adult daughters Jenna Dewan-Tatum ( American Horror Story ) and Rachel Boston ( American Dreams ) who are unaware of their powers and immortality. Virginia Madsen ( Sideways ) has recently been cast to join the Lifetime coven. Recently ABC's Eastwick (2009) only survived one season of fledgling sorcery before getting the axe. The series is loosely based on the novel by Melissa de la Cruz of the same name. This all sounds charming, will probably be a little practical about the magic used, but we can all hope for some real Hocus Pocus since there won't be any teenage witches.

He played Elvis Presley ( Elvis , TV movie). He played King Henry VIII ( The Tudors ). Now Jonathan Rhys Meyers will star in Dracula , NBC's new series debuting in TV's Fall spooky season. The series is set during a Victorian London era, when Dracula arrives to town posing as an American entrepreneur. His mission: to avenge his own death. NBC hopes to stake the horror competition Oct. 25, premiering alongside new seasons of FX's American Horror Story and AMC's  The Walking Dead . Dracula  could turn out to be a decent period piece, capitalizing on Drac's thirst for flesh - or it could be a bloody mess. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is a talented actor, who seems like a perfect fit for this twist on the Bram Stoker tale. Rhys Meyers also has the anticipated  The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones coming out this year. Check out the trailer to see if you want to sink your teeth in...

After the Season 7 finale shocker of lieutenant Debra Morgan ( Jennifer Carpenter ) killing captain LaGuerta ( Lauren Vélez ), fans knew that Dexter and Debra's already fragile sibling relationship would be the basis of the show's final season: with Deb having to choose between her respected position at the police department and the undying love she has for her killer brother. So what better way to end a series about America's favorite serial killer than to have him meet his maker in the eighth and final season? Dexter ( Michael C. Hall ), the blood spatter analyst for Miami Metro Police Department who leads a double life as a serial killer, only kills those who fit his code. This season Dexter finally learns more about his troubled past. He meets the maker of his monster, Charlotte Rampling , a neuropsychiatrist dubbed by Miami Metro as "the psychopath whisperer." With Charlotte Rampling on board the "slice of life,"  Dexter feels like a French thr

We love to be scared. We love it even more when it's based on a true story. Director James Wan  who brought you Saw and Insidious , has a new horror film out -  The Conjuring . The bone chilling tale based on the true events experienced by husband and wife Ed and Lorraine Warren - the paranormal investigator dream team. The film takes place in 1971, where the Warrens give lectures on demonology at Universities, aside from debunking paranormal cases with their years of expertise. The Warrens even have a museum of haunted artifacts in their abode, taken from cases so haunting, they have a priest on the payroll who regularly visits to bless the room. The Warrens are brought on by Carolyn Perron, played by  Lily Taylor ( The Haunting , Six Feet Under ), to help her family of five daughters who are being haunted and taunted by dark spirits in their farmhouse. Things go bump-in-the-night, to say the least. Naturally, who The Perrons need is Ed Warren, played by Patrick Wilson ( Ins

It took 7 years (in Tibet) to get World War Z completed, after Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment secured the rights to the film back in 2007. To this date,  WWZ  is the largest opening weekend Brad Pitt starring film. A high octane fanboy zombie flick, World War Z is based on the Max Brooks novel about a former United Nations investigator ( Brad Pitt ) who is thwarted back on the job, on a quest to find a cure to the zombie pandemic that is threatening the world. Pitt's character is driven by the family he must leave behind when he shifts from country-to-country to find an antidote. Director Marc Forster ( Quantum of Solace , Machine Gun Preacher ) utilizes a heavily-shaky camera during the shocking zombie attack scenes, producing high anxiety that, even I, wasn't prepared for. The World War Zombies are fast - faster than Forrest Gump - and there's no time to check your swatch watch while you wait for the undead to consume your flesh. The turn time is also accele
