BURBANK—March 3, 2008—A host of provocative directors, actors and writers—including award-winning directors John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London"), Darren Bousman ("Saw II, III and IV"), Ronny Yu ("Freddy vs. Jason,” “Bride of Chucky"), Brad Anderson ("The Machinist"), Breck Eisner (upcoming
Universal Pictures film “Creature from the Black Lagoon"), Mary Harron ("American Psycho"), Stuart Gordon ("Re-Animator") and Ernest Dickerson (NBC’s “Heroes")—have been signed for NBC’s “Fear Itself,” a new 13-episode suspense and horror anthology series from Lionsgate in association with Industry Entertainment.

Brandon Routh ("Superman Returns"), Shiri Appleby ("Charlie Wilson’s War"),
Elisabeth Moss ("Mad Men"), Cynthia Watros ("Lost"), Eric Roberts (NBC’s “Heroes"), John Billingsley (Star Trek: Enterprise"), Russell Hornsby ("Lincoln Heights"), Pablo Schreiber ("The Wire"), Stephen Lee ("Boston Legal"), Stephen R. Hart ("Shoot ‘Em Up"), Jack Noseworthy ("Judging Amy") and Larry Gilliard Jr. ("The Wire") are among the sought-after actors who will be portraying various characters in three episodes of the series.

Among the writers set are Joe Gangemi ("Wind Chill,” the novel “Inamorata"),
Steve Niles ("30 Days of Night"), Dan Knauf ("Carnivàle," “Supernatural"), Lem Dobbs ("The Score"), Matt Venne ("White Noise 2: The Light"), Richard Chizmar & Johnathan Schaech ("Masters of Horror,” “From a Buick 8"), Victor Salva ("Jeepers Creepers"), Mick Garris ("Riding the Bullet,” “Amazing Stories"), Drew McWeeny & Scott Swan ("Masters of Horror"), Kelly Kennemer ("The Music Within") and Max Landis ("Masters of Horror").

The announcement was made today by Teri Weinberg, Executive Vice President, NBC Entertainment.
“We’ve teamed up with some of the most illustrious writers, actors and directors to create a distinctive, scare-filled series that will push the boundaries of this classic genre,” said Weinberg. “‘Fear Itself’ will deliver memorable and horrifying moments that will keep fans on the edge of their seats, begging for more on this fun-filled ride of terror.”

“We and our partners at Industry Entertainment couldn’t be happier about NBC’s enthusiastic support of ‘Fear Itself’ and the caliber of artists who have been drawn to the project,” said Kevin Beggs, Lionsgate’s President of Television Programming and Production. “Our goal is to offer audiences a fantastic thrill every week and we’ve certainly got the all-star team to do it.”

“Eater,” is directed by Stuart Gordon ("Re-Animator," “Masters of Horror") and written by Cemetery Dance Magazine publisher and editor Richard Chizmar ("From a Buick 8") & actor Johnathon Schaech ("Masters of Horror,” “That Thing You Do!"). A rookie cop (Moss) must spend her first night in the precinct watching over a serial killer, coined “The Eater” (Stephen R. Hart, “Shoot ‘Em Up"). When her fellow cops start acting bizarre, she quickly learns that no one is who they seem. Russell Hornsby ("Lincoln Heights"), Pablo Schreiber ("The Wire") and Stephen Lee ("Boston Legal") also star.

“Spooked,” is directed by Brad Anderson ("The Machinist") and written by Matt Venne ("White Noise 2: The Light"). While on a stake out in a haunted house, a private eye (Roberts) is made to confront the demons of his past. Jack Noseworthy ("Judging Amy"), Cynthia Watros ("Lost") and Larry Gilliard Jr. ("The Wire") also star.

“Community” is directed by Mary Harron ("American Psycho,” “The Notorious Betty Page,” “Big Love") and written by Kelly Kennemer ("The Music Within"). When a young married couple, played by Routh and Appleby, find the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood, their lives seem...well...perfect. But as the dark underbelly of their neighborhood creeps to the surface, they soon realize that their neighbors will go to any extreme—even murder—to make sure that they comply with their twisted sense of conformity.  John Billingsley (Star Trek: Enterprise") also stars.

“Red Snow” has a screenplay written by Mick Garris ("Riding the Bullet,” “Amazing Stories"), from a story by Del Howison ("Dark Delicacies"). Breck Eisner ("Creature from the Black Lagoon") will direct. When four criminals find themselves stranded in an old, snow-covered fort, they slowly discover both the fort and the seductive trio of sirens who reside there are filled with deadly secrets.

“Chance” is written by Lem Dobbs ("The Score"), with a director to be announced later. In the vein of such classic doppelganger stories as “Jekyll & Hyde” and Poe’s “William Wilson,” the episode explores a dreadful, classic battle that ensues when a man is confronted by his evil self.

“New Year’s Day” will be directed by Darren Bousman ("Saw II, III and IV"), and is written by Steve Niles ("30 Days of Night") from a story by Paul Kane. A young woman wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by horrifying zombies.

“Family Man” will be directed by Ronny Yu ("Freddy vs. Jason,” “Bride of Chucky") and is written by Dan Knauf ("Carnivàle," “Supernatural"). This action-charged, psychological thriller focuses on a likeable family man who switches bodies with a serial killer after a near-death experience. Now, he must fight from behind bars to keep the murderer from adding his family to the long list of victims.

“Skin & Bones” is written by Drew McWeeny & Scott Swan ("Masters of Horror") with a director to be announced later. When a cattle herder returns home to his family after being lost in the woods for days, he just doesn’t seem the same. Soon, a terrible mortal struggle ensues against the terrifying monster
possessing him.

“Something With Bite” is a reinvention of the classic werewolf story from writer Max Landis ("Masters of Horror"), the son of John Landis. Ernest Dickerson (NBC’s “Heroes") will direct.

In “Nightmare in Lace,” John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London") will direct an episode written by Victor Salva ("Jeepers Creepers"). On her wedding day, a beautiful bride receives a mysterious note that reads: “The person you are marrying is a serial killer.”

The series is produced by Lionsgate in association with IE Indy TV, Industry Entertainment’s newly formed independent television label, and was created by Mick Garris. The Emmy-winning team of Keith Addis and Andrew Deane ("Masters of Horror") are the executive producers. Peter Block is co-executive producer; Grant Rosenberg is supervising producer; and Adam Goldworm, Ben Browning and Jonathan Hackett are producers.

Starring Traci Lords, Frank Whaley, Dina Meyer, Gabrielle Anwar, George Newbern and Dan DeLuca, Crazy Eights follows six childhood friends as they face their past and the secret they share. Crazy Eights was co-written and directed by James Koya Jones, co-written by Dan DeLuca and was produced by Jones, DeLuca and John Kaila.

Directed by George Bessudo and written by Daniel P. Coughlin, Lake Dead follows three sisters and a group of their friends as they take a trip to the home of the recently deceased grandfather to learn more about the promise of an inheritance, only to encounter a family of psychos who have taken up residence in the old man’s cabin. Lake Dead stars Edwin Craig, Pat McNeely and James C. Burns and was produced by Todd Chamberlain, Hector Echavarria, Jason Hice and Mike Karkeh.

“We are very excited to be announcing our final slate for After Dark Horrorfest Ò 2007,” said After Dark’s CEO Courtney Solomon. “Both Crazy Eights and Lake Dead are thrilling horror films made by gifted filmmakers. We are incredibly proud of all 8 films and look forward to sharing them with our audiences nationwide.”

Frontiers, which premiered at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival to rave reviews will receive it’s own separate theatrical release. The film, which in its original state did not meet the requirements for an R rating from the MPAA will bow at a later date to be announced by After Dark Films. Solomon stated that, “rather than sacrifice the artistic integrity of this beautiful film, we’ve chosen to allow audiences to view the film in its unedited form as a separate theatrical release. We’ll be announcing details of this release on horrorfestonline.com shortly.”

Along with its partners AMC, Regal and Cinemark, After Dark Horrorfest Ò2007 runs over the course of one week, including two weekends, on over 300 screens across the United States from November 9 – 18th, making it the largest commercial film festival in the world. This unique festival is the first of its kind, premiering “8 Films to Die For Ò,” celebrating the horror genre by showcasing films that run the spectrum of horror from thrillers to gore to the supernatural. After achieving groundbreaking success in its inaugural year, now After Dark Films is back with an even bigger and better Horrorfest.

In 2006, After Dark Horrorfest Ò became the first film festival in history to break into the top 10 at the national box office, grossing over 2.5 million dollars, on only a quarter of the screens of any other film in the top ten that weekend.  The “8 Films to Die For Ò” package, released on DVD by partner Lionsgate Films, has reached great success with over 1.8 million DVDs in circulation.

In conjunction with YouTube, After Dark Films has renewed its search for the next great queen of scream – Miss Horrorfest 2007, the official spokesperson of Horrorfest.  Last year the Miss Horrorfest contest proved to be the most successful contest in YouTube history. This month, contestants have submitted 90-second videos on YouTube and participated in live auditions across the country in the hopes of winning $50,000 and the coveted title of Miss Horrorfest 2007. Log on to http://www.youtube.com/horrorfest and watch the top contestants complete today.

BURBANK, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2007) – Anchor Bay Entertainment, the industry leader in contemporary and classic horror programming, announces the acquisition of the theatrical and home media distribution rights to Spiral, the highly anticipated follow-up feature from the writer/director and star of the independent cult horror film Hatchet.

Joel David Moore plays Mason, a reclusive artist who finds new life in the eyes of his latest subject Amber (Amber Tamblyn, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, The Grudge 2, CBS’s Joan of Arcadia). Wrestling with inner demons waiting to surface, Mason grapples with a past that not only haunts him, but might come to haunt her as well. Zachary Levi (NBC’s Chuck, ABC’s Less Than Perfect), and Tricia Helfer (Sci-Fi’s Battlestar Galactica) co-star in the spellbinding psychodrama.

Spiral reunites Hatchet alums writer/director Adam Green and star Moore (Dodgeball, Art School Confidential and the upcoming James Cameron epic Avatar). For this film, Green and Moore expanded their artistic reach by co-directing the film. In addition to co-directing and starring, Moore also shares screenplay credit with Jeremy Danial Boreing, and producing credit with Boreing and Cory Neal.

Spiral has already received numerous accolades. Most recently, the film was awarded Silver Medal in the AMD Next Wave competition at September’s Fantastic Fest in Austin (where two years ago, Hatchet started its journey to the big screen), as well as the Golden Vision Award at the 2007 Santa Barbara Film Festival. Spiral was also been selected for exhibition at this year’s Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival and London FrightFest. Aint-It-Cool News gave it 4.5 stars out of 5, while FrightFest called the film “A Hitch-cocktail of precision directing, deft pacing, startling imagery and clean style.”

“Anchor Bay is pleased that we can partner again with Adam and Joel for Spiral,” said Mark Ward, vice president of acquisitions of Anchor Bay. “Both are uniquely gifted filmmakers, and Spiral promises even greater chills than Hatchet.”

“Spiral represents a radical departure in tone and style from Hatchet,” Green said. “I’m thrilled that Anchor Bay Entertainment has now chosen two of my films for inclusion in their amazing film library.”

Moore said, “I’ve always been a fan of Anchor Bay. Having Spiral represented by the Rolls-Royce of genre programmers is an absolute thrill for me.”

The announcement was made by Ward as part of the film’s presentation at the 2007 Hollywood Film Festival. The film will play in exclusive theatrical engagements in early 2008.

Spiral is a Coattails Entertainment/ArieScope Picture. The film was directed by Adam Green and Joel David Moore and produced by Cory Neal and Jeremy Danial Boreing. Executive Producers are Jim Sowell, Zachary Levi, Rachelle Ryan and Joel David Moore. Co-producers are David Muller and Kurt Schemper.

http://www.markdoty.com/horrorfest

Featuring: KILL PROCESS, AFTER, director & f/x guru: Joe Castro, Abyssal Gems, hand-made bondage leather accessories, etc.

C.I.A. is a museum of the weird and there will be no shortage of weird when you see two short films with Doug Bradley (Hellraiser’s Pinhead) out of make-up and realize he is 10 times creepier as a crazed psycho dentist in “On Edge” a film by Frazer Lee and the chilling “Red Lines” also written and directed by Frazer Lee.

Meet the lead singer of GODHEAD, Jason Miller as he comes out to support the film he stars in “Every Day Joe” directed by Shane Cole.

This event, while hosted by Mark Doty, will feature introductions by Madame Sunset, a strong supporter of independent music and independent film.

Come out to network with make-up artists and students from M.U.D. Make Up Designery and Joe Blasco make-up f/x schools as well as make-up artists from Cinema Secrets, indie filmmakers, directors, producers, actors & writers, representatives from over fifty film production companies and genre specific press were invited as well as all our friends in the local film and music community.

On December 11th, Anchor Bay Entertainment, the industry leader in horror home entertainment, will re-release this unforgettable horror classic, decked out with all-new holiday-themed cover art that truly spreads good cheer…with a few screams! SRP is $14.98, with pre-book on November 8th.

Even before Silent Night, Deadly Night was officially released, protestors lined up to loudly decry a movie portraying Santa Claus as a deranged, axe-wielding killer. The unexpected furor so caught the original distributor off-guard that it hastily yanked the film from theaters, virtually guaranteeing a fast death at the box office. Years later, when the controversy died down and the film was released to the home video market, Silent Night, Deadly Night became the cult classic it is today, having spawned no less than four sequels, with a remake currently in development.

Years ago, little Billy saw his parents murdered by an escaped killer wearing a Santa Claus costume. The experience left indelible scars on his psyche, made all the worse by his subsequent years languishing in an orphanage, where his life was made a living hell by the cruel and domineering Mother Superior (Lilyan Chauvin, Universal Soldier).

With the help of the sympathetic Sister Margaret (Gilmer McCormick, Slaughterhouse-Five, Starting Over), the 18-year-old Billy (Robert Brian Wilson, “Search for Tomorrow”) secures a job at a toy store. But when the store’s regular Santa is injured, Billy is called upon to don the red suit. But as he does, he becomes a ticking time bomb. The traumatic memories of his parents’ murders, combined with the abuse he has suffered at the hands of the Mother Superior, propel him into a state of psychotic rage. Santa Claus is coming to town, and he’s got murder on his mind…

The film also features a notable appearance by legendary “scream queen” Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers). Silent Night, Deadly Night was directed by Emmy Award nominee Charles E. Sellier Jr. (producer of Breaking the Da Vinci Code, “Encounters With the Unexplained” and the cult classics Hangar 18 and The Boogens).

“Undercover Brother Meets Army of Darkness”—Microfilmmaker Magazine

El Segundo, CA – The soul of blaxploitation may have met its match with the soul-less world of zombies as Under the Bed Films—the newly-formed horror division of Phoenix Entertainment Group—presents “Insane in the Brain,” available October 30th at a suggested retail price of $19.99.

Goldie and Sloan, two undercover, collar poppin’, polyester rockin’ cops, are called to a case the likes of which they’ve never seen in their ‘hood.  The nearby brothel is the scene of the crime, where zombies are the new clientele and they’re feasting on the employees.

Summoned from the grave by the aroma of the funky pheromones emanating from the “working crib,” these zombies are feasting on body and soul, just waiting for the dynamic duo of Goldie and Sloan to try and end their night of ill repute. 

“Insane in the Brain” was written and directed by Chad Hendricks.  Special features include an original theatrical trailer and a Behind the Scenes Documentary.

In the original a very religious, trainwreck of a woman buys the doll at a curio shop, slowly falls in love with it and HAS SEX WITH IT. The doll goes missing and her life falls apart as she starts smurfin everyone she can to recreate the thrill she got from the doll. Then in the most tacked-on ending I’ve ever seen she walks into her room one day and the doll is there, she screams, blood comes out of various facial orifices and she dies.

It really seemed like the director had some sort of agenda or higher meaning on his mind when he shat this one out but it fails horribly. NOT worth watching.

This however looks like it might at least be funny.

But probably not.

Pickled Embryo covered the original in their blaxploitation episode. I didn’t heed Damon’s warning but please heed mine. Do not seek out this film..
The episode is here.

http://www.firstshowing.net/2007/09/23/teeth-finally-being-released-in-november-distribution-rights-sold/

“The Weinstein Company and Lionsgate co-purchased Teeth fairly quickly at Sundance for a reported price of around $1 million. The film then went quiet for a while after the fest and a lot of the great buzz has died off. Harvey Weinstein stated that he wouldn’t alter the film’s content at all and would keep it as it is - great news because there is quite a bit of raunchy sexuality and ridiculous gore, including a number of chopped off penises. However apparently the film’s rights for distribution were sold by Lionsgate to the smaller Roadside Attractions, who has taken a number off “left-for-dead” Lionsgate movies previously.”

Harvey Weinstein refusing to alter the film in any way is awesome and I think will lend to the success this film will no doubt achive. An 82% fresh rating on RottenTomatos.com? I really hope this hits big and Lionsgate regrets selling it off. 

If this makes it to theaters I’ll be seeing it multiple times and so should anyone else that wants to see MORE films of this caliber. Your dollars really matter in situations like these.

What was “APSK” all about? A snuff film. Why should we be excited? While others have looked to shock or disturb people with torture-porn films, and faux snuff films featuring graphic violence, “APSK” features not one drop of blood and not a minute of torture (at least physically). Still, this miniscule movie has shocked more people with it’s realistic approach than most recent Hollywood torture-porn films (i.e. “Hostel 2”, “Captivity”, “Saw 3”). So, why make another? Good question. Director Shane Ryan calls it “a further look into the mind of Brandon,” the Killer in the movie. He’s a drifter, known to have murdered many women throughout several states, and still on the prowl. “Every victim reacts differently, each location/crime scene sets the tone for a new experience, every chapter in Brandon’s life is different. Think of the film as a book, with 3, 5, maybe 10 chapters. Hopefully each chapter will capture further insight into Brandon’s mind, and/or the mind of the victim. I simply find it fascinating and would love to take a deeper look.”

Well, there you have it. Catch the first “Amateur Porn Star Killer” in stores November 6, 2007 and visit the Alter Ego Cinema web site to find out how to get your name in the new film!

SHOCK IT TO ME! HORROR FILM FEST INVADES THE CASTRO THEATRE FOR A SPOOK-TACULAR THIRD YEAR!

SPECIAL GUESTS TO INCLUDE LEGENDARY DIRECTOR JOE DANTE, HAMMER FILM STARLET VERONICA CARLSON, AND HORROR HOST JOHN STANLEY!

San Francisco — The third annual Shock It To Me! Horror film festival oozes its way into San Francisco’s legendary Castro Theatre at 429 Castro Street, just in time for Halloween, with a dozen classic horror films!

Unstoppable. Unbelievable. Shock It To Me! will be chilling and thrilling audiences the entire weekend of October 5 —7, 2007, with a horrific mix of fright films, special guest fiends, ghoulish giveaways, midnight mayhem and more.

Special guest stars will include legendary director Joe Dante, on hand to screen his werewolf masterpiece, “The Howling,” as well as his tribute to horror schlock-masters “Matinee” and “Gremlins 2!” And heading up a horrific night of Hammer horror will be the lovely Veronica Carlson, presenting a double feature of “Dracula Has Risen From the Grave” and “Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed.” Both Mr. Dante and Ms. Carlson will answer audience questions and discuss their films.

The Castro Theatre and Shock It To Me! are also proud to welcome very special guest, author and horror host John Stanley. If you grew up in Northern California in the ‘70s and ‘80s, you’ll remember Stanley as the host of the incredibly popular “Creature Features” (1971-84), broadcast on KTVU Channel 2. Fangoria magazine called John “The Leonard Maltin of Horror,” while Joe Bob Briggs stated, “John Stanley knows more about horror movies than any person alive.” John will not only meet with fans and interview our Guests of Honor on stage, but will bask in the glory of his new magnum opus, “I Was a TV Horror Host” – a historic overview of the Horror Host phenomenon, with his experience on “Creature Features” being the centerpiece.

But that’s not all, fright fanatics- fans of classic Blaxploitation horror will scream their heads off at the double feature of “Blacula” and “Sugar Hill.” And you cannot miss the rare midnight screening of “Killer Klowns from Outer Space!” This show will feature REAL killer klowns terrorizing the audience! Also to screen at midnight- “Re-Animator!” Plus- Roman Polanski’s sinister tale of Satanism, the horrific “Rosemary’s Baby,” More films to be announced!

Besides the movies themselves, the upstairs mezzanine of the Castro will be crawling with vicious vendors, eager to sell their horrific wares: gory goods, terrifying
t-shirts, malevolent memorabilia, putrid posters, demonic DVDs, monstrous models, and all things spooky and kooky.
