Comic Con hasn’t been strictly superheroes in a long, long time. We have scoured the schedule for this year’s event and have pulled out the dark, the bloody, the monstrous, and the ghostly panels that look to be right up FEARnet readers’s alley.
Paranormal Passion Panel

Protagonists must battle the forces of evil while trying to keep the world (and often their lovers) safe from destruction. Maryelizabeth Hart of Mysterious Galaxy leads a discussion with Comic-Con special guest Christine Feehan (The Dark Series), Claudia Gray (Spellcaster), Aprilynne Pike (Earthbound), Lauren Kate (The Fallen Novels), Kendare Blake (Antigoddess), and Magnus Flyte (City of Dark Magic).

Hollywood is all about finding the next hot thing, whether that's a script, an actor, a director, a genre (vampires anyone?) or the ultimate discovery, a lucrative film series.
The seven "Harry Potter" movies have so far netted over $6 billion, while the first three installments of "The Twilight Saga" have earned just under $1.8 billion. That's nearing "Oprah" money, people! (As opposed to "Potter," which is nearing "Zuckerberg" money... but we'd rather be Oprah.)
And that's not even counting all the licensing and swag sales... you gotta figure another few hundred thousand in Edward Cullen lunchboxes alone.
Studio executives would happily hand over their firstborns to the Volturi for a lead on "the next 'Twilight' franchise" (trust me, I've prank-called). That's because finding such a rarity is about as easy as winning the lottery.
Paramount developed "Twilight" for three years before getting letting the rights slip to a then-little-known production company Summit Entertainment.

Rocker Bret Michaels is no stranger to the company of lovely ladies, thanks to his career as singer of Poison, not to mention his "Rock of Love." But it was another recent collaboration with 17-year-old "Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus on the racy song "Nothin' to Lose" that really raised eyebrows. When MTV News caught up with Cyrus on the Academy Awards red carpet, she explained the pair's unlikely duet.
"He's a friend of my family," Cyrus said. "I was in the studio already, so I did a few harmonies for him."
Cyrus is also working on an album of her own, which she said will be out later this summer. For now, the starlet is promoting her upcoming Nicholas Sparks-penned film "The Last Song,...

Call it battle of the abs. Or the teen screams heard round the world. Either way, Summit Entertainment's The Twilight Saga: New Moon did more business on its opening weekend than any other movie this year. Now that it's the biggest fall opening ever at $142.8 million and its opening day number of $72.7 million outgrossed The Dark Knight's first-day figure, Hollywood should finally accept that women drive the box office in a big way. "It's great that the greenlighters in town have realized that little girls go to the movies," says MGM's president of marketing Michael Vollman. "But this genre has worked forever.

Teen sensation Miley Cyrus tossed aside rumors regarding the 16-year-old signing on for a big-screen adaptation of the Broadway musical Rock of Ages.
Speculation was fueled on by pics of the singer backstage meeting with cast members early last week. A source close to Cyrus told GossipCop that she wasn’t doing it.
However, the former Disney star will star in the screen adaptation of Aprilynne Pike’s hit young adult novel, Wings.
Cyrus will play Laurel, a teen who discovers she is a fairy sent among humans to guard the gateway to Avalon. As if learning you’re a mythological creature isn’t enough, witness Laurel as she goes from being a sheltered/home-schooled girl to dealing with the complexities of attending a public high school.
