Bloody Disgusting and various other horror media outlets have reported that Alex “Where’d My Career Go” Winters, Ted’s time-traveling companion in the Bill and Ted series has been tapped to direct the remake of the 1987 classic horror film The Gate.

I have no idea what the Hell Alex Winters has been up to, and I know nothing of his directing skill, but I can only hope he’s a horror fan. I LOVED The Gate when I was younger (I think I was nine when I first saw it), and it’s a prime example of how good PG-13 horror can actually be. Additionally, the remake will apparently be in 3D, a gimmick I’m quickly growing sick of and is entirely unnecessary.

As a side note, the director of the original, the awesomely named Tibor Takács, has been pretty busy as of late, showcasing his predilection for direct-to-television “horror” films involving giant animals of some sort. One of his more recent films was Ice Spiders, which merely serves as a vehicle to keep Vanessa Williams’ career alive.

Whoa...

Spiders! Made of ice! Suck on THAT, David Arquette and Doug E. Doug!

    WTF that shit is crazy, ice spiders talk about a screwed up fear. I’m afraid of spiders, but hypothermia scares me more. Wait what if the spider freezes you with its bite, then your doubly terrified. At least thats what the pitch sounded like to me in my head.

    “This winter, ski conditions are . . . FATAL!”

    And I just made that up, just like that. Sci-Fi Channel can use that one for free.
