Witness The First Trailer For The Axe Murders of Villisca

The trailer for IFC Midnight’s psychological thriller, ‘The Axe Murders of Villisca’, has arrived and it looks pretty good. The film, from writer-director Tony E. Valenzuela, based on the story was co-written by Owen Egerton, Kevin Abrams and Valenzuela. Robert Adamson stars alongside Jarrett Sleeper, Alex Frnka, Jon Gries, and Conchata Ferrell in this “based on a true story” film. Official Synopsis: On a June night in 1912, eight people—a mother, father, their four children, and two guests—were murdered by an axe-wielding killer in the sleepy town of Villisca, Iowa, a case that remains unsolved to this day. 104 years later, Caleb (Robert Adamson) and Denny (Jarrett Sleeper), two friends who share an interest in ghost hunting, along with Jess (Alex Frnka), the new girl in school who’s already got a reputation, sneak into the house where the infamous bloodbath occurred in hopes of recording paranormal activity. What the trio encounters is far more horrifying than anything they could have

Dylan Dog Getting A TV Series Adaption

The comic book series ‘Dylan Dog’ was adapted into feature film back in 2010 under the title ‘Dylan Dog: Dead of Night’, starring Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) as Dylan. The film was released without much buzz, but turned out to be pretty good. Now, Italian horror writer Tiziano Scalavi, who was behind the genre classic ‘Cemetery Man’, is bringing ‘Dylan Dog’ to life in a new independent series. The film follows “Dylan”, a man who investigates paranormal and supernatural cases. The upcoming series will follow the tracks as the movie, according to Bloody-Disgusting. The pilot episode, titled “Dream of the Living Dead”, will be directed by Kevin Kopacka (Everyonce), off of the script he co-wrote with Alex Bakshaev. We’ve finished shooting the pilot and are currently in post production. Hopefully we’ll get to release it around March 2017. Expect it to be a mixture of the Dylan comics “L’alba dei morti viventi” and “Morgana” with nods to Italian classic horror

Unsolved Mysteries Coming To Streaming And Digital HD Platforms

Few things spooked me as a kid like the true tales of murder and mystery on ‘Unsolved Mysteries’, hosted by Robert Stack. The stories features on ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ were very real, making the series much more terrifying than any horror film I came across. They explored cold cases, unsolved crimes, murders, missing persons, criminals on the run, and reports of paranormal activity. FilmRise has acquired the worldwide rights to the show. The series is finally headed to Digital HD and streaming platforms, as early as this month. We’re pleased to be releasing this celebrated series to a large audience of fans both old and new,” The CEO of FlimRise, Danny Fisher stated. “Unsolved Mysteries is an American tradition that FilmRise is excited to preserve.” One of the reasons that I find ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ so frightening is that one of the cases on the series hit close home. In fact, it made the local news. When I was younger, the series

Daniel Lutz Wants To Make A Film About His Experiences In The Amityville Horror House

There have been many films that have capitalized on the tragedy that befell the DeFeo family in 1974 after the family was brutally murdered by one of their own in their home at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. The home’s next residents, the Lutz family, only stayed in the home 28 days before fleeing with recounts of paranormal activity. The family’s story was adapted into a book by Jay Anson, then became one of the genre’s largest movie franchises, beginning with 1979’s classic ‘The Amityville Horror‘. Back in 2012 George Lutz’s stepson, Daniel Lutz, told his side of the story of what happened in the home during those dark 28 days in the fantastic documentary ‘My Amityville Horror’, directed by Eric B. Walter. This week, Daniel called out producers Jason Blum and Harvey Weinstein, while tagging TMZ, during a series of brutal rants on Twitter. What is unclear is why Lutz is attacking the very people that could

Horror Fuel: “How did you get into directing?” JP: “I was an only child, and I lost my parents very early. I sort of felt disconnected to the world and reality. There was something about movies and books the are for escape. I took advantage of that and fell in love with this dream world. So, they became such a big part of my

Abbey Grace – Everything You’ve Already Seen in One, Fun Plot

Just finished watching Stephen Durham’s Abbey Grace and, although it isn’t a perfect movie, I definitely enjoyed watching it. The movie focuses on a sister (Debbie Sheridan) who returns to her childhood home to look after her agoraphobic brother (Jacob Hobbs). Both Sheridan and Hobbs offer convincing performances of the frustrations they feel and can’t seem to understand in each other. However, as the movie progressed, it became very clear why they got he leads as opposed to the other actors in the film. Invited to the house to observe Hobbs’ character, Amber Gallaway plays a renowned doctor who wasn’t necessarily a bad actress, but she seemed more like a giddy valley-girl in booty shorts as opposed to a highly touted professional. Semi Anthony, the exorcist, used an accent that was so muddles and off that I was waiting to know if he was joking or not….the film should have been a two- person cast. Aside from the downhill spiral

Slenderman – The Modern Terror

A simple contest on June 10, 2009 by the internet forum Something Awful created a modern and unique monster. The contest challenged people to take everyday photographs and make them appear paranormal. Complete with comments from faux eye –witnesses, forum poster Victor Surge used images of groups of children and inserted a man. This man was tall, thin, white-faced and wearing a dark suit with a red tie. As this man stood ominously over the children, a phenomenon was born. Slenderman was not developed from ancient myths, or fairy tales. He is not found in a book and merely brought to life via media or film. This man is a wonderful piece of modern folk-lore. Generations from now, Slenderman will be included in the cannon of horror along with gremlins, trolls, the boogieman and everything else that goes bump in the night. One of the scariest things about Slenderman — and it was absolutely intended by his creator — is
