On first glance, horror and wrestling make strange bedfellows; one offers catharsis through bloodshed and plot twists and the other…okay, scratch that. They pretty much trigger the same responses in the viewer, which is harmless fun. So where are all the wrestling themed horror flicks, or vice versa? Well now thanks to Intervision Picture Corporation, we have one – Masked Mutilator, a film that sat in a cool dry basement for 25 years before being unearthed, polished up, and released in a slammin’ new Blu with tons of extras.
Yes, the film was shot in 1994 and not released until now; it’s not a matter of embarrassment on the filmmakers’ behalf, but rather that old chestnut of lack of completion funds that kept it shelf bound for so long.

Game of Thrones star Jamie Sives and Catastrophe star Mark Bonnar are to front a four-part dark crime caper for the BBC.
Guilt, written by Eric, Ernie And Me writer Neil Forsyth, will be the first drama for BBC Scotland’s new digital channel and will then air on BBC Two.
Sives, who starred as Jory Cassel in the HBO drama, and Bonnar play two disparate Scottish brothers Max and Jake who, while driving home from a wedding together one night, accidentally run over and kill an old man on a darkened street. After making the panicked decision to cover their tracks, the brothers seem to get away with their crime. However, as neighbours and relatives of the dead man begin to suspect his death wasn’t as innocent as it initially seemed, the brothers find their lives rapidly falling apart, as their actions begin to catch up with them.

Rte has announced that this Friday's edition of the daytime programme 'Seoige' will be the last. The series, presented by sisters Gráinne and Síle Seoige, will finish its run on Friday 24 April as planned and a new series will not be commissioned for the autumn. Steve Carson, Director of Programmes, Rte Television said: "The decision not to re-commission another series of Seoige is a financial one, necessitated by a significant shortfall in revenue in the last quarter of 2008 and so far in 2009. The series has been very successful for Rte, its audience has grown each year, and it has carved out a loyal following. Traditionally, Rte has only broadcast one home-produced daytime show.
