The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor To Unleash New Haunted Maze

Southern California’s most authentic haunted attraction may just be the Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor, and on Saturday, July 29, the attraction’s producers will unveil a new, as-yet-unnamed haunted maze. The seventh maze to be featured at the maritime haunt (along with “Deadrise”, “Lullaby”, “Circus”, and others), this new attraction is sure to terrify Halloween, haunt, and history buffs. What’s even better, is that you won’t have to wait until the traditional haunting season to experience the terror caused by the Captain and his legion of monsters and spirits. The unveiling of the new maze will happen at Midsummer Scream Halloween Festival, held at the Long Beach Convention Center on the weekend of July 23 and 30, 2017.

Dr. Gangrene’s annual Horror Hootenanny is one of Nashville’s premier Halloween-season events, with live music, showings of fright flicks, and a costume contest with prizes. Emcee’d by Nashville horror host Dr. Gangrene, past acts have included ghoul punk luminaries Forbidden Dimension, American Werewolves, Psycho Charger, Mummula, and many others.

Album Review: The Prople Will Have Their ‘Revenge’

All right, let’s get this out of the way – the Prople is an incredibly silly name for a band, even for horrorpunk, a subgenre permeated with silly band names. That said, these central-Florida veggie-powered creepsters have crafted fifteen aggressive, catchy blasts of ghoulish punk rock venom with their debut full-lenth, Revenge. Owing far more to poppy skate punk and early-1980s hardcore fury than to any band showcasing Glenn Danzig’s gothic croon, the album is a refreshing dose of gritty, horror/sci-fi-influenced rock n’ roll in a sea of Graves-era Misfits sound-alikes. Opening track “Grim Grinning Ghosts” sets the tone with its ultra-Hallows Eve-y synth into, then things get much more belligerent (and ridiculous) from there. Star Wars nerds can rejoice in the one-two punch of “The Force Awakens” and “Daddy Built a Death Star”, while “Dirty Laundry” sounds like Black Flag gone crust. Depending on one’s favorite character from the beloved anime series, the Dragon Ball Z faithful may want

Extraterrestrials Invade VOD In ‘Alien: Reign Of Man’

Though not the xenomorphs created by legendary artist H.R. Giger and made famous by director Ridley Scott, Uncork’d Entertainment’s Alien: Reign of Man will bring us face-to-face with a new breed of hostile space-creeps. Alien: Reign of Man spins the tale of some sort of team working to activate some sort of machine to save Earth, while stranded on some planet, battling the titular aliens. From what I’ve seen in the trailer, the film appears to be an indie mockbuster somewhere in between Alien: Covenant and Interstellar. Directed by Justin Price (Dark Moon Rising), and starring Deanna Grace Congo, Torrei Hart, Khu, and Cameron White, the low-budget sci-fi horror comes to VOD August 1, with a DVD release slated for November 14, 2017. Though I’ve yet to see the film, I’m highly skeptical of its quality. Judge for yourself by watching the official trailer of Alien: Reign of Man below.

Lucas Birnie Seeks Backers For Indie-Creature Feature ‘Were-Wool’

Filmmaker Lucas Birnie is seeking backers for upcoming indie creature-feature, Were-Wool. Influenced equally by the 1981 John Landis classic tale of full-moon bloodlust, An American Werewolf in London, and James Gunn’s 2006 cult splatter comedy Slither, the director aims to, as stated on the film’s Kickstarter page, be “the culmination of a few of my – and what I can only hope are also your – favourite things: love, laughs, lycanthropy, sheep, blood, guts, and more blood.” Here’s a brief synopsis of the story, also from the movie’s Kickstarter page: “Max Pemberton is your average everyday shmuck who has had to give up on his aspirations and settle into a more practical lifestyle in the rural town of Lafontaine with his long-time girlfriend, and local veterinarian, Sarah Ackerman. Fed up with his work as an archivist for the local insurance broker Max makes a last-ditch effort to take charge of his life, that is, until under the light of the
