Critically Acclaimed Animated Horror ‘Spine Of The Night’ Is Out Today On Shudder

The incredible, critically acclaimed animated fantasy-horror film The Spine of Night is out today exclusively on Shudder! Produced with hand-rotoscoped animation, The Spine of Night is inspired by the classic works of artists like Ralph Bakshi and Frank Franzetta, and the fantasy genre as it was in the 1970s: boundary-pushing, politically progressive, and utterly fearless.

Grant (Star Wars: Episode IX, upcoming Marvel series “Loki”), Lucy Lawless (“Xena: Warrior Princess”, “Ash vs Evil Dead”), Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), Betty Gabriel (Get Out, “Westworld”), and Joe Manganiello (Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Archenemy).

A Woman Is Stalked While A Killer Is On The Loose In ‘Watcher’ (Trailer)

IFC Midnight, that’s a name horror fans know they can trust to deliver quality films. Today, they have shared the first trailer for one of their upcoming releases, the horror-thriller Watcher that will carry on that tradition.
