It’s time for the Scream Awards and several of our favorite sci-fi and paranormal shows have made the grade. Not our FAVORITE show, but we’ll forgive them since they did nominate Jensen Ackles’ My Bloody Valentine 3-D and Jared Padalecki’s Friday the 13th for Best Horror Movie.

Variety is also reporting that Warner Brothers and Leo DiCaprio’s production company are in development on a new Twlight Zone movie. Rand Ravich is set to …read more
