Starring Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Species), Linda Bella (Monsters in the Woods), and Madi Vodane, Devil’s Domain tells the harrowing tale of Lisa (Vodane), a victim of cyber-bullying who, fed up with her tormentors, strikes a deal with with the Devil. The situation escalates as quickly as the film’s body count, with the fate of the entire world resting upon the deal the Devil has made with young Lisa. According to writer/director Jared Cohn, the film “is a story about the ramifications of social media, cyber-bullying and how it affects the youth of today.” Aside from a solid cast and premise that hits close to home with today’s youth, Devil’s Domain features a first-rate soundtrack including the likes of Iggy Pop, Onyx, DMX, and others.

Rebel Flesh Summon Satanic Seduction In New Music Video

Austin, Texas horror punks Rebel Flesh revel in all things sinister and sexy in the music video for new song, “Shadows”. The song, a sonic midpoint between the impishly playful vibe of punk/power pop heroes the Vibrators and the syrupy-smooth sound of the late 1980s Ramones, is perfectly accompanied by footage of a creepy cutie kneeling in a pentagram, playing with a blood-drenched dagger, and the band plying their craft. Later in the video, the demonic baddie summoned by the seductive Satanist comes a’ calling, and she doesn’t seem too thrilled. What did she think was going to happen? “Shadows” is a breath of fresh air in the overcrowded morgue that is horrorpunk, as is all of the band’s material to date. Now, all we need is a co-headlining world tour with these Texas terrors and Swedish scare-rockers the Dahmers, and all will be right in the world. Watch the new “Shadows” music video below.

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Adrienne King

Here we are again, my Little Monsters. It’s Wednesday, and I am almost three days removed from the festivities at Days of the Dead, here in Indianapolis. In fact, it was at this years convention that I met this week’s wonderful Woman of Horror, Adrienne King. Born in Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York, Adrienne got into the business quite early, having made an appearance in an Ivory Soap commercial at the age of six months old. Yes, you read that right – six months old. When she was nine years old, Adrienne portrayed the character of Melinda in the 1965 Hallmark Hall of Fame television film production of Inherit the Wind. After graduation from Oyster Bay High School, Adrienne was accepted to attend New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology where she majored in Fine Art. She would also take jazz dance classes, under the tutelage of Phil Black, that would hone her skills as a performer. After graduating from

Thom Burgess Explores Supernatural Folk Horror In ‘The Eyrie’

From writer Thom Burgess (Malevolents) and illustrator Barney Bodoano comes The Eyrie, a new graphic novella mixing equal parts ghost story and folk horror. As unnerving as it is beautiful, The Eyrie is the tale of Rebecca, an American photojournalist, who while working on location along the coast of Sussex, England, becomes entrenched in the darkness of the local folklore. She encounters the local townsfolk, who are a mostly friendly, if superstitious bunch. The thing is, they have every reason to be. Rebecca is being stalked by shadowy horrors born of death, torture, and revenge. Will she escape the quaint seaside town before she’s taken by the Long Men? Burgess’ dialog is realistic, his settings and backstories eerily familiar and at-once brand new, while Bodoano’s ominous storybook-style art brings a palpable feeling of a gloomy “otherness” to the work. Drenched in foreboding, sinister atmosphere akin to The Wicker Man and The Woman in Black, The Eyrie is more than a

‘Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter’ Is An Absolute Win

Finally, finally, finally I was able to watch the Neil Johnson written and directed film ‘Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter’. I have been anticipating seeing the movie for a long time, and (if you follow my twitter) have obviously been eager to write this review. I just want to start off by saying that I really enjoyed this movie. The movie has been presented as a whole bunch of things… a little ‘Mad Max’, a little bit ‘Terminator’, a little bit ‘Star Wars’, science fiction, drama, action…and a slew of other things. Well, it delivers on them all. From intergalactic battles in space, to making me laugh, to heart wrenching scenes. We are truly taken on this journey with the protagonist Sienna through pinnacle points in her life when she has to deal with not only her own journey to figure out who she is, but also to destroy the artificial intelligence that is killing humans. I am not going to

GUNN MEDIA Discusses ‘FRIDAY THE 13TH” Single Player Mode

The Friday the 13th Videogame has been a popular multiplayer game for over a month now, but those who prefer to game alone have so far been left out. Well never fear single player aficionados, because Gun Media, the developers behind Friday the 13th, have a single player mode set to release later this summer, and we just got our first glimpse of what it will entail. While no gameplay footage has yet emerged, Gun Media developers Wes Keltner gave a tease today on twitter. “Think about the game like a film: Multi-player starts at reel 4. Eeveryone knows Jason is there. Single-player starts at reel 1. All victims have no idea.” What this implies is that the single player mode of Friday the 13th will be a stealth game, or at least more heavily focused around stealth than the online free-for-all component. With 13 movies worth of material to pull, there are certainly plenty of missions Jason could partake

Ten Horror Films Actually In Need Of A Remake

The list of really good to near-perfect horror flicks that have been given the remake treatment in the last two decades is staggering, and doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon. ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’, ‘The Fog’, ‘Halloween’, ‘Fright Night’, and so many others have been remade, reworked, or rebooted for a modern audience, nearly always resulting in a film inferior to the original. This abhorrent trend must stop, I say! Here are ten far-from-perfect movies that, unlike the aforementioned examples, could actually use a solid remake. ‘Ghoulies’ (1985) – One subgenre of horror sorely missing these days is the “small creature” movie. With the ‘Gremlins’, ‘Critters’, ‘Munchies’, and ‘Ghoulies’ series of films, creepy little creatures were everywhere in the 1980s and early 1990s. While ‘Gremlins’ is a masterpiece, and ‘Critters’ is really good, aside from cool creature design and an excellent poster that terrified many an eighties kid in the video store, ‘Ghoulies’ is pretty terrible,

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Linda Blair

Well, my Little Monsters, we are at that point in the week where we make that downhill run towards the weekend. Now I had another actress originally slated to be highlighted today, but I made a calculated decision to focus on Linda Blair due to an event that’s happening this weekend. In two days Days of the Dead is descending on Indianapolis for three days of horror related festivities, and Linda was very recently confirmed to be in attendance as one of many media guests. With that in mind I felt it appropriate to go ahead and highlight this particular wonderful Woman of Horror, that I would have undoubtedly have written about eventually. So without further ado, I give you Miss Linda Blair. Linda was the baby in her family, being the youngest of three children. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but would grow up in Westport, Connecticut. Linda’s career kicked off at the tender age of five,
