Glasgow, Sep 22 (Ians) Experienced batter Richie Berrington on Thursday was named as Scotland’s captain for the Icc Men’s T20 World Cup to be held in Australia from next month. Matt Cross will be the wicketkeeper and serve as Berrington’s deputy.
The 15-member side also includes leg-spin all-rounder Chris Greaves, who made his Scotland debut at last year’s T20 World Cup and came into limelight by scoring a match-winning 45 against Bangladesh in first round.
The squad also features the uncapped Brandon McMullen who impressed at the Regional series and A team matches with both bat and ball as a genuine all-rounder. He will provide the squad with an option to be versatile in any role. With the bat, apart from Berrington and Cross, George Munsey and Calum MacLeod will also hold the key.
“We are very pleased and excited to announce our 15 players for the T20 World Cup.

In recent years there’s been a name associated with the horror genre that is guaranteed to get me excited… Lora Burke. From her absolutely amazing, captivating performance in Poor Agnes; to Justin McConnell’s 2018 sci-fi horror Lifechanger; to 2020’s amazing home invasion thriller For the Sake of Vicious, Burke has been one of the genres shining stars yet, for a lot of people, she’s something of an unknown.

Lora Burke in Motherly
In a big, rambling house in the middle of nowhere, a mother, Kate (Lora Burke), and daughter, Beth (Tessa Kozma), have been sequestered away from the world, hidden because of a horror in their past. Beth is bored, stomping around the place, resentful because she’s been taken away from her friends and she can’t have a proper birthday party. Kate is trying to hold it together for both their sakes, but when she begins to suspect that someone is prowling around the house, she realises that their situation could be about to get a lot worse. With Motherly just released in US cinemas, I met up with Lora and director/co-writer Craig David Wallace to discuss it.
Although it was written beforehand, Motherly is a film which has, in a curious way, benefited from the pandemic. After what we’ve experienced over the past two years,...

As many parents have learned over the past two years, being cooped up with a child is exceptionally stressful. We experience time differently when we’re younger so it’s understandable that they get frustrated, but that doesn’t make it any easier to handle, especially when they struggle to regulate their emotions and lash out at those around them. Kate (Lora Burke) and Beth (Tessa Kozma) are not living under lockdown conditions but they might as well be. Placed under witness protection in the aftermath of a violent incident at their home, they have been advised not to go anywhere. As Kate struggles to write a book about what happened, which might at least reduce the financial strain they’re under, Beth stomps around their remote country home, focused only on her own distress.

The cult horror comedy series Todd and the Book of Pure Evil ended in a cliffhanger in its second season finale.

If you've read my retrospective interviews on the series or heard me rave about it on our high school-themed episode of Corpse Club, then you know that I absolutely adore the Crowley High kids who for two years were "fighting evil with mixed results" on the TV series Todd & The Book of Pure Evil. Years after the show was prematurely canceled, the cast and crew of the cult series are reuniting for one more blood-spattered ride in the animated film Todd & The Book of Pure Evil: The End of the End, and Raven Banner has revealed the official trailer for the film ahead of its release this fall.

Two episodes were provided prior to broadcast.
It’s more fitting than frustrating that Slasher, horror network Chiller’s first foray into original scripted programming, unspools as an unabashed amalgam of horror movie tropes. After all, the NBCUniversal-owned channel has carved out a funky little niche for itself broadcasting “scary good” films and TV series, from classics like Kolchak: The Night Stalker to little gems like Harper’s Island, not so much curating its content as airing it all as a bloody buffet for horror hounds.
That approach has kept the lights on up until now, encouraging Chiller to think bigger with original features like Animal and (excellent) SXSW entry The Boy. And so, despite the creative energies of director Craig David Wallace (Todd and the Book of Pure Evil) and writer-creator Aaron Martin (DeGrassi: The Next Generation), it makes sense that Slasher is also guided by the techniques and...

Though it was prematurely cancelled in 2012, the horror comedy TV series Todd & The Book of Pure Evil has lived on through the memories of its loyal fan base, been discovered by a new audience on home media, and will return in an animated film in the near future. Last fall, I had the great pleasure of speaking with the series' co-creators and main cast, who looked back on fighting evil... with mixed results.
In this second part of Daily Dead's retrospective on Todd & The Book of Pure Evil, Alex House (Todd Smith), Maggie Castle (Jenny Kolinsky), Bill Turnbull (Curtis Weaver), Melanie Leishman (Hannah B. Williams), Shawn Pierce (music composer), and series co-creator Craig David Wallace discuss their time on the truly unique series that showed the humor, horror, and often blood-soaked trials and tribulations of high school.

Chiller has original and reimagined onscreen scares lined up for this year and the next, as they've just announced that their first original series, Slasher (directed by Todd & The Book of Pure Evil’s Craig David Wallace), will premiere late this year, along with a reimagining of Tobe Hooper's 1985 space vampire flick, Lifeforce. Also in development at Chiller (and slated for a 2016 debut) is Siren, a full-length film adaptation of David Bruckner's highly regarded V/H/S segment, Amateur Night, which gave viewers a chilling new perspective on the line, "I like you."

Metal music, creativity, pervertedly dark humor, stoner madness, an overabundance of gore brought on by practical effects work – these are all things horror fans love. Not every horror endeavor has to be a chilling tale of paranormal adventures or some serious take on serial killers. Sometimes it’s great just to relax with nothing but pure entertainment through a medium that laughs at the notion of taking one’s self too seriously, and that’s where an epic little Canadian TV show came in called Todd & The Book Of Pure Evil.
Starring Alex House as a hormone driven high school metalhead named Todd, he stumbles upon a Necronomicon-like book that proclaims he is the “Pure Evil” one, said to bring death and destruction to the world. Fighting his fate alongside his best friend Curtis (Billy Turnbull), the two pot-smoking losers are forced to fight a new monster each episode as...

Sadly, "Evil" shall not prevail.
Canadian TV channel Space has confirmed that it won't be renewing cult hit "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil" for a third season. The news comes as quite a shock, given the show's accolades from critics and fans alike. It was recently picked up in foreign markets like Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Germany, where fans were heard crying out "ingen!""nei!"and "kien!" upon hearing that their new favourite show won't be back.
The show's creator, Craig David Wallace, revealed the news last night at the Writers Guild of Canada Screenwriting Awards, where, ironically, he was being honoured for his work on "Todd." In a state of disbelief, we reached out to a Space rep who confirmed that yes, it is indeed true. Nooooo!

Canadian TV channel Space has confirmed that it won't be renewing cult hit "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil" for a third season.

Imagine, if you will, a book of awesome power. A book that will make your deepest, darkest desires come true…but at a horrifying cost. This is the Book of Pure Evil, and it's loose in Crowley High, unleashing its dark power and filling the school hallways with monsters made of human fat and flesh-eating zombie rockers. Thankfully, four teenagers stand between The Book and the end of the world as we know it. They will save our souls — whether they like it or not.
Todd and the Book of Pure Evil is presumably enjoyed most by people that love heavy metal, splatter-filled horror movies and mediocre jokes. I am not one of those people, so I don't necessarily love this show. I don't think it's terrible or as bad a show as The Big Bang Theory,...

Hey Todd & the Book of Pure Evil fans! Have we got a video interview for you. We recently sat down with the show's co-creator Craig David Wallace to find out how his twisted comedy series (now airing on FEARnet every Tueday night at 10Pm Et) came about, as well as what we can expect from season 2. Check out what Craig had to say after the jump. Todd & The Book of Pure Evil features Jason Mewes (Mallrats, Clerks) and tells the story of a small-town high school kid trying to save the world. The hilariously twisted series also stars Alex House, Maggie Castle, Bill Turnbull, Melanie Leishman and Chris Leavins. In each episode of Todd & The Book of Pure Evil, Todd and his cohorts are pitted...

Canadian import ‘Todd & the Book of Pure Evil’ legally reaches our shores tonight. The comedy horror series began as a short film directed by showrunner Craig David Wallace in 2003, before being picked up for a pilot and following series in 2009 by Canadian channel ‘Space’. The show follows Todd Smith, a student at Crowley High, and his ‘Scooby Gang’ consisting of his best friend Curtis, brainy scientist Hannah and the object of Todd’s affections, Jenny.
Crowley High was also founded by Satanists and is the current home of a cursed Book of Pure Evil that’s a lot cheekier and more airborne than ‘The Evil Dead’s’ Necronomicon. The Book grants wishes to the distressed and troubled students of the high school, but they each go horribly wrong, leading to murder and bloodshed, in hilarious ways. Todd’s gang do whatever they can to try and stop the book, whilst...
