You would think that the worlds of horror and professional wrestling would meet and make magical beautiful music together, wouldn’t you? Both are brash, bright, crazy and incredibly fun when they’re good. Sadly… both are bloody awful if done poorly. I’ve seen a few movies that have attempted to blend horror and wrestling and I’m yet to see one that has done it particularly well. So… is Parts Unknown, directed and written by Richard Chandler (Witch Hunt), a wrestling horror flick that manages to blend the two mediums into an entertaining film?
It’s a simple premise, as you’d expect, with a violent family of wrestlers (not sports entertainers) who look for another way to satisfy their lust for blood.

"Now it's time to make one last sacrifice." Wild Eye Releasing has debuted an official Us trailer for an indie horror titled Parts Unknown, the latest from rural genre filmmaker Richard Chandler. After putting their bodies on the line for countless years, a family of professional wrestlers seek a brand new way to satisfy an impeccable bloodlust - by going on a spree of murder and carnage to satisfy their deal made with a demonic entity from another dimension. William DeCoff, Alexandra Cipolla, and Sarah Michelle star in this extremely low budget, extremely awful-looking, excessively violent horror film. I have to say it - this looks absolutely terrible in every possible way, not only pointless and unnecessary, but just brutal and wrong and shamefully un-amusing. But I guess they didn't make this for me. At least the trailer is totally free to watch. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Richard Chandler's Parts Unknown,...

Tagline: "All Beauty Must Die." Richard Chandler (Gilgamesh, 2014) is the writer behind the horror title Parts Unknown. His latest stars: Melantha Blackthorne (Death Race, 2008), Sarah Michelle, Alexandra Cipolla and former pro-wrestler Jake Roberts. Together, they bring they bring the story of the Von Strasser family to the screen. The Von Strassers, a family of unstable wrestlers, seek to reclaim their position within the wrestling industry, through any way possible. The film's first poster and casting details are hosted here. Director Chandler has a few things to say on his latest production. He says of Parts Unknown and its story: "it's original. Whether people can get past a smaller budget or not, no one can deny that this hasn't really been done. It exists in its own world." To blend horror and wrestling does come across as original. Though, the Trick or Treat podcast does blend these two elements often in their show.

A new indie flick is on its way from director Jordan Pacheco entitled Dead Bounty featuring the first "unmasked" Michael Myers, Tony Moran, and we have your first look and more cold off of the slab! Dig it!
From the Press Release
While on the search for a fleeing felon, Dead Bounty (directed by Jordan Pacheco) follows a group of bounty hunters, lead by 'Bosk' (Tony Moran) and 'Henry' (Timothy Patrick Quill), who head into a vast New England forest in hopes to capture a dangerous man. Closing in on their quarry, the group encounters more than just a murderer on the run when they are confronted with a seemingly endless horde of the undead. With no shelter, no help and no end to the carnage, survival seems hopeless.

Stories like this one are why I love writing for Dread Central. Where else could we learn about a movie called The Disco Exorcist?!?
From the Press Release:
Scorpio Film Releasing is proud to announce that their next production will be The Disco Exorcist, a blood-soaked tale of revenge, sex, black magic, disco dancing, and mountains of cocaine. New England genre film director Richard Griffin takes on his bloodiest, sexiest film yet with a production so lurid that only a rating of Nc-17 will suffice.
As with Griffin’s spot-on genre throwback Nun of That and Beyond the Dunwich Horror, The Disco Exorcist promises to be a pitch perfect representation of the 1970’s exploitation genre. "In this age of soulless state-of-the-art, 3D, IMAX CGI-laden 'filmmaking', we thought it would be exciting to bring the art of cinema back to its most basic. Film. Real film ... with grain and scratches, warts and all.

Scorpio Film Releasing and director Richard Griffin are currently in the midst of their latest production, the ’50s genre homage Atomic Brain Invasion. Scripted by Guy Benoit and Griffin, who sent over a couple of advance “lobby cards” (see below) and produced by Ted Marr, the movie is currently two weeks away from finishing up principal photography.
As opposed to Griffin’s previous horrific/violent fare (including Nun Of That, hitting DVD in January; see details here), Atomic Brain Invasion will, in the spirit of its inspirations, be more of a PG-level affair. “Not only do I want it to look and sound like it was made in 1957,” Griffin tells Fango, “but I also want it to be free of all the blood, profanity and nudity of modern horror films. It’s wonderful to have a horror movie that people of all ages can enjoy, much like the classic creature...

Director/co-writer Richard Griffin passed on some new exclusive pics from his latest feature, the gory, supernaturally tinged action/comedy Nun Of That (which we last reported on here). He also announced that the movie will have a pair of encore showings this weekend in the Scorpio stamping grounds of Providence, Ri.
Nun Of That will play at midnight this Friday and Saturday, May 1-2, at Providence’s historic Cabel Car Cinema (204 South Main Street). “We were so awestruck by the crowds and reactions to the premiere screenings of Nun Of That,” Griffin tells us, “that producer/co-scripter Ted Marr and myself decided to do a series of midnight shows at the beautiful Cable Car Cinema and Cafe. We think the movie’s mix of gore, sex, comedy and hot nuns make for the perfect witching hour movie!” He goes on to advise that while the flick is unrated, “it contains nun nudity,...

He has also debuted the movie’s trailer (warning: not work-safe), which you can see below.
Nun Of That, produced by Griffin’s usual filmmaking partner Ted Marr, stars Sarah Nicklin (another of his regulars) as Sister Kelly Wrath, who’s got a habit…of flying off the handle. “After being gunned down in an alley, she ascends to heaven to receive training from some of the great figures of religious mythology. She is then set back to Earth to join the other members of the Order of the Black Habit, a group of supernatural vigilante nuns, as they fight evil and seek revenge against the mob.” The cast also includes Brandon Luis Aponte, Alexandra Cipolla, Michael Reed,...
