Tagline: "Don't Answer the Door." The first All Hallow's Eve released in 2013. This first film was a horror, short film anthology. The sequel, All Hallow's Eve 2, will follow this precedent, with several more tales of terror. The film hosts at least ten directors. In this outing, The Kondelik Brothers (The Divine Tragedies) and Bryan Norton (Penny Dreadful) will helm two of the eight stories. The stories are titled: "A Boy's Life," "Alexia," "Descent," "Mr. Tricker's Treat," "M is for Masochist," "Jack Attack," "The Offering," and "The Last Halloween." And, a preview of this film's DVD launch is hosted here. The film's wraparound involves a young woman and a sinister VHS tape. The tape shows her scenes of torture and murder. Meanwhile, a pumpkin faced killer is taunting the woman, until he enters her bloody reality. Marc Roussel's "The Last Halloween" was released in late 2014. Fans can see this entire short,...

Richard Ciupka’s unfairly maligned 1983 horror film Curtains was screened recently as part of the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Scary Movies 7 exhibition that also included screenings of Lucky McKee’s new film All Cheerleaders Die, Michele Soavi’s highly regarded Cemetery Man (1994), Eli Roth’s new film The Green Inferno, John D. Hancock’s ultra creepy Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (1971), the New York premiere of Clive Barker’s 1990 film Nightbreed - the Cabal Cut, and Peter Carter’s brilliant Rituals (1977), better known as The Creeper, which stars Hal Holbrook and Lawrence Dane in a film that is clearly influenced by John Boorman’s Deliverance (1971) but easily stands on its own as a strong piece of independent filmmaking.
Appearing in person at the Curtains screening was actress Lesleh Donaldson who played Christie Burns, the ice skater in the film.

Dread Central has gotten wind of a secretive project being developed entitled The Profane Exhibit, a new anthology film dealing with the nature of corruption that looks to be a no-holds barred shocker. Although just a few slivers of information have been leaked about this ten-part compilation, what we've seen thus far indicates some serious pushing of the boundaries of good taste, and we've got high hopes for it.
Three of the film's ten directors have been announced, and it seems to be a true rogues' gallery running the show at The Profane Exhibit. Try these names on for size:
Directing a segment entitled Manna, straight from one of the most visually disturbing horror films ever created, August Underground's Mordum, is Michael Todd Schneider. That name alone should be enough to curl the toes of even the most hardened viewer. But that's just the beginning.

You have to wonder about two guys who call their plays "theatre for sick little monkeys." But by all accounts, that's exactly what playwright James Comtois and director Pete Boisvert have been producing.How else would you describe a company that once created a play in which "the cruelly-named Nervous Boy wanders around a grotesque nightmare version of the city and comes across New Yorkers of every kind, from rude cell phone users, belligerent alcoholics, pretentious academics, screaming couples, demons from the underworld and brain-dead zombies as he tries to burn a recently earned paycheck in order to maintain his sanity." "We've got a fairly dark sense of humor," says Boisvert. "There's very few moments in these plays that don't have a wide vein of humor running underneath them even though they can be [taking place in] very dark situations."Their newest play, "The Little One," is no exception. In the play, Cynthia,...

Fango just got word of a new feature called Horrotica (no relation to our own upcoming Fangorotica) that starts principal photography this week in the New York/New Jersey era. Produced by Laughing Duck Media, it’s a horror/comedy directed by Marc Leland and starring a bevy of indie fright-flick starlets and stalwarts, headed by Tiffany Shepis (pictured).
Shepis plays B-movie actress Gina Sklar, whose attempts to track down stolen footage from her latest flick with the help of her number-one fan (Tim Mandala) lead her into some scary situations. The cast also includes J. Edmund Ford (as a producer named Lonzo), Flesh For The Beast’s Ruby Larocca, Penny Dreadful’s Tina Krause, busy newcomer Nicola Fiore, Carl “Doc” Burrows and The Blood Shed’s Alan Rowe Kelly. Frequent Kelly collaborator Tom Burns is doing the music, while Blood Night: The Legend Of Mary Hatchet’s Jeremy Selenfriend handles the makeup FX.

New York-based indie genre actor/filmmaker Joe Zaso gave us the first look at the poster for his latest feature Braincell (pictured left), which he recently produced and starred in for director Alex Birrell. He also passed on a pic from a genre short he recently appeared in called Immune; you can see both images below.
