Uncork’d Entertainment Will Unleash ‘Demons’ This October
Miles Doleac’s (American Horror Story) supernatural thriller Demons has now wrapped and is aiming at an October theatrical release. A brand image from the film has arrived and we have it to share with you. Co-starring Wishmaster’s Andrew Divoff, and Smallville alum John Schneider, Demons tells of a celebrated fiction writer and former priest who, along with his wife, are tormented by the ghost of her late sister, as the details of her grisly death are slowly uncovered. Written by Doleac, whose previous film, the small-town murder mystery The Hollow, was released in theaters late last year, Demons is described as a “psychological thriller that marries elements of The Exorcist, The Shining and The Big Chill.” Initially, my decision to write a horror script was predicated on necessity: I had a synopsis for an “exorcism” script that Lindsay (my wife) and I had worked up together. Star-writer-director Doleac stated, “A major distributor had expressed interest. Said distributor wanted to see

Horror Composer, Daniel Licht Passes Away
The musical vein of the horror world has lost a great composer. Daniel Licht (60) has passed away due to cancer. While Licht is most known for scoring the music for ‘Dexter’, he has been working steadily on film and TV, and video game music scores since the early ‘90s. Growing up in Detroit, Licht first found a love of jazz music and focused a great deal of time on the guitar. He received a composition degree in New Hampshire and travelled around Europe writing music and developing his craft. After moving to L.A., Licht was noticed by Clive Barker (of Hellraiser fame) and the two worked together on a number of projects. Licht was fond of using odd items in his music – especially for ‘Dexter’ – such as surgical tools, saws, bones and whatever else created his unique macabre sound. You will be missed.

Sexual Assault Victim Of Jeepers Creepers Director, Victor Salva, Speaks Out
While a lot of fans of the Jeepers Creepers franchise are excited about the third installment approaching release, a lot of other genre fans have made it clear that they will not support any film involving the franchise’s writer-director Salva. For those of you who know nothing of Salva’s past, let me explain. In 1987 Slava was arrested on eleven counts of sexual abuse of a child. Yeah, he’s a peodophile. In fact, that’s his mugshot (above). He was smiling. His victim, Nathan Forrest Winters, was the young boy who played the role of Casey in Salva’s ’87 film Clownhouse. Reportedly, Winters is not Salva’s only victim. Winters in Clownhouse Winters has finally broken his silence about what he and others suffered at the hands of Salva with help from filmmaker Connar Frazier will be making a documentary and using his experiences to raise awareness, educate, and help others who have been through the same horrible crimes.

Something Terrifying Is Coming Down The Chimney with ‘Red Christmas’
For the so called “happiest time of the year” Christmas sure contains a lot of misery. From racist Uncle Gary drinking one too many Eggnogs, to your sisters brat kids driving their RC cars into your heels, for anyone who doesn’t have the happiest relationship with their family, Saint Nicks Day can make you feel like putting an icepick through your eye. But even the Manson family probably doesn’t have as fucked up a holiday as the poor saps in Red Christmas. Starring Dee Wallace, perhaps best known as Elliot’s mother in E.T. (but at her best as the tough as nails canine killer Donna Trenton in Cujo) Red Christmas follows “Diane, a matriarch presiding over the gathering of her squabbling grown children on Christmas Day. Tensions give way to terror when a deformed stranger appears at the door with vengeance on his mind. Diane must protect her family as limbs are severed and secrets are brought into the light.”

Get An Eyeful Of The Artwork For, ‘SLAW’
As you Little Monsters may remember, a few months back I reviewed a crazy horror-comedy containing cabbage and carnage called SLAW…please forgive the lengthy alliteration. In advance of the film’s VOD release in October, the folks at Green Apple Entertainment have revealed the artwork for the film’s poster. Now, y’all know the drill, click on one or both of the pictures below to see it larger. Now that you’ve had a chance to take a gander at the poster art, you’ll no doubt see that it is very similar to that of the concept for James Wan and Leigh Whannell’s maniacal brainchild, Saw. Of course, as you can see, this concept features a severed hand holding a huge dollop of coleslaw garnished with an eyeball on top…mmmm, yummy. You have to admit it’s a very eye-catching poster design. See what I did there – huh – huh? Yeah…OK, that was…that was bad. Anyways, keep a weather eye out for any
