For anyone looking for a new holiday anthology, “10/31” could fit the bill nicely. Featuring 5 horrific tales, complete with a hot host and plenty of gore, “10/31” doesn’t reveal much in it’s teaser trailer, but what we do see is tantalizing. A gloved mitt gripping a small childs hand; a flickering jack-o-lantern; a shadowy figure stalking a young woman.

‘GHOST WITCH’ HAUNT’S Its Way Onto VOD

Is it a ghost? Is it a witch? No, It’s GHOST WITCH, an unholy hybrid coming to VOD this September from Wild Eye Releasing. From the press release; Based on true events. Mattie enlists a group of paranormal investigators to spend the night at the haunted house where she was attacked by an angry spirit as a child, and where a Native American girl was brutally murdered two centuries ago. Once there, they are stalked and possessed as the truth about what happened there is revealed, as they all become unwilling participants in the ghost witch’s plan for vengeance.
