Lovecraft's Monsters, edited by Ellen Datlow and published by Tachyon Publications, is a reprint anthology of some carefully chosen and mighty fine Lovecraftian short stories, novellas and poems. A small selection of some of my favorites from this well-rounded collection include “Only the End of the World Again,” by Neil Gaiman; “Red Goat Black Goat,” by Nadia Bulkin; “The Same Deep Waters as You,” by Brian Hodge; “Love is Forbidden, We Croak and Howl,” by Caitlín R. Kieran; and “The Sect of the Idiot,” by Thomas Ligotti.
Neil Gaiman's “Only the End of the World Again” is the story of a unique “man” very much out of place in a strange town. Everyone seems to know who and what he is, and they all have an opinion on how he can get rid of or be relieved of his “ailment.” But there's more in store for him than he suspects.

Director: Chad Ferrin. Review: Adam Wing. In order to finance Unspeakable, independent filmmaker Chad Ferrin was forced to sell his house, and he didn’t make a dime from it. Three years later he was at it again, but this time – in order to make low budget horror The Ghouls – he waved goodbye to his 68 ½ Mustang. Ferrin was a little more successful this time out, and the finished article has arrived on a features packed DVD courtesy of Cine Du Monde. Unspeakable was Chad Ferrin’s writing and feature-directing debut, and he introduced himself to the world in the loudest way possible. Cheap and cheerless, blunt and brutal, Unspeakable isn’t a good film in the traditional sense of the word, but its raw and uncompromising filmmaking that fans of low budget horror will revel in. Six years after Unspeakable Chad made Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! Both films are now available in the UK,...

Director: Chad Ferrin. Review: Adam Wing. When a director informs you that – in order to make a movie – he sold his house and didn’t make a dime, you realise just how personal the art of filmmaking can be. That will probably be the last time I use the word ‘art’ in the same sentence as ‘a Chad Ferrin movie’. In a humorous introduction to his breakout movie, Unspeakable, Chad is incredibly honest about his hopes for the DVD release of his “warts and all” debut. In an emotional plea to the camera, he informs the audience that – with the aid of a recognised distributor – he hopes to afford some filtered cigarettes. We all have dreams I guess. Chad Ferrin is a low-budget horror filmmaker from Minnesota. Shot for just $20,000, Unspeakable was his writing and feature-directing debut. Unspeakable is available for the first time this month courtesy of Cine du Monde,...

Director: Chad Ferrin. Review: Adam Wing. With a tagline that reads “Don’t expect Easter eggs”, Chad Ferrin makes it pretty clear what to expect from his holiday horror Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! Chad cut his teeth on films like Unspeakable, The Ghouls and most recently, Someone’s Knocking at the Door. Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! is his fifth full-length feature, blessed with bloodthirsty killings and more crazies than a George A. Romero movie. There’s a good chance Elmer Fudd won’t be chasing down this particular wascally rabbit, but you can buy it on DVD courtesy of Cine du Monde. A murderous grifter (Timothy Muskatell) cons his way into a mother’s heart, unaware that he’ll have to make ‘nice’ with her treasured son, Nicholas (Ricardo Gray). Mindy (Charlotte Marie) has always had a penchant for ill-fitting boyfriends, unlike the little black dress she wears at the start of the movie.

Director/writer: Chad Ferrin.
Crappy World Productions have produced indie thrillers like Someone is Knocking on the Door, The Ghouls, Unspeakable and now Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!. Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! was completed in 2008 and did not find a distributor right away, but recently the film was released by Vicious Circle Films on DVD June 1st (Amazon). This is director Chad Ferrin's fifth feature and some strangeness appears early on in the show in the form of plastic wrap. Easter Bunny stays primarily within one set and while the film has been lambasted by other reviewers (Horroryearbook) the film has some charm while falling off in the third act.
Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!, put succinctly, involves a fractured family with mom performing double-duty as a night nurse and caregiver to a mentally retarded child who also suffers from cerebral palsy (Mrcp). Enter Timothy Muskatell as Remington who plays a low-life degenerate.
