A rediscovered record of dak tales unleashes terror this December in the indie horror 13 Tracks To Frighten Agatha Black. In the movie, “After a tragic event, a sheltered young woman seeks the comfort of some long-forgotten scary story records from her youth. The specter of losing her family home and a string of crimes in her neighborhood propel her toward a dark obsession with the frightening tales. Eerily, they begin to reveal occult truths and hint at a violent, inescapable fate. Like a disease, the stories begin to infect others who enter her world, creating disturbing encounters that bring her to the threshold of terror.” Written and directed by Bradley Steele Harding in his feature debut, the movie stars Bridie Marie Corbett, Lara Williams, Moira Wilson, Van Quattro, and Daniel Frank. 13 Tracks To Frighten Agatha Black is coming to Blu-ray on December 13, 2022, but you can pre-order your copy beginning November 15th, from Bayview Entertainment.

Halloween has passed (*sad face) so now it’s time to move on to the other upcoming holiday films, including Robert Livings and Randy Nunldall Jr.’s Christmas horror anthology The Christmas Tapes. The film centers on a family’s movie night on Christmas Eve which is interrupted by a stranger, insistent on making the next Christmas ‘classic’ film himself. Dave Sheridan (The Devil’s Rejects), Greg Sestero (The Room), and Veron Wells (The Road Warrior) star in a yuletide fright-fest like no other! The movie is described as a throwback to the anthology films of the 80s and 90s, but with a modern found-footage twist. Christmas Horror is a subgenre that we feel deserves more attention, and this film came about from us discussing the classics and how we could possibly bring something new to the table. From day one, we were aware that this film had to be fun and could not take itself too seriously. Developing each segment and the trajectory

Lil’ Dougie (Alexander Brickel) loves two things; Satan (thanks to the eponymous video game he constantly plays which features ol’ Scratch) and his gorgeous sister Jenna (Katheryn Winnick)… and neither in a particularly healthy way. Now since Doug hearts Jenna so damn much that when she comes home from college to visit for Halloween with her brand-spankin’ new boyfriend Alex (Stephen Graham) he gets more than a little perturbed… until he meets an ominous man dressed in a grinning devil mask (Joshua Annex) arranging dead bodies as All Hallow’s Eve decorations. Naturally the little fool believes this rando psycho is the real deal come to life from his game, so he brings the murderous wine-guzzlin’, panty sniffin’, middle finger flippin’ monster home and hides him in the basement so he can kill ol’ Alex… and he does… eventually… and a whole mess of other people too!

Odds are, if you’re a horror fan, you’ve seen the insane trailer for Rhys Frake-Waterfield‘s upcoming movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. The director is already continuing his assault on our beloved childhood movies (not that that is a bad thing). Not only is Waterfield working on a sequel to Blood and Honey ahead of its release, but he’s also working on a movie titled Peter Pan: Neverland Nightmare. We can’t wait to see what hell he puts poor Wendy and Peter through. How is Waterfield getting around Disney? Both Winnie the Pooh and Peter Pan are public domain. Filmmakers are free to create their own versions, such as a killer Winnie the Pooh who happens to love spilling blood as much as it loves eating honey. Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey centers on Christopher Robin who heads off to college and forgets to feed his friends before he goes. This leaves Winnie and Piglet to starve and

Happy Halloween Ghouls and Ghoulettes! When you think of Halloween you don’t see yourself spending time at the beach right? Or at a beach out of time…and space? Well, that’s how I spent my Halloween in Broken Pieces. I want to give thanks to Elseware Experience and Freedom Games for the reviewing opportunity. Broken Pieces takes place on the seaside of France in 1993 where players take on the role of Elise, a woman searching for her missing fiance as the world seems to be outside of time and the village she’s in is devoid of life as an event took place resulting in the population going missing and supernatural threats stalk the streets. Now onto the game itself! When it comes to the controls, Broken Pieces thankfully has a tutorial system but the more I played it, it became evident that the game is more suited for mouse and keyboard which makes some interactions and movements awkward. The game’s
