Step Right Up! The Trailer For CarousHELL Has Arrived!

People take everything so seriously these days. Sometimes what we need is a campy horror flick to take our minds off the terror that awaits in the real world. Wild Eye Releasing’s CarousHELL fits the bill. Check out the trailer and you’ll see what I mean. From filmmaker Steve Rudzinski, director of films such as Red Christmas, Captain Z & the Terror of Leviathan and Everyone Must Die!, comes this bloody, fun ride straight to hell. Based on a script by Rudzinski and Aleen Isley, this horror-comedy tells of a sentient carousel unicorn that gets pushed too far by a brat. The unicorn breaks free of his spinning prison to go on a revenge-driven murder spree on his way to kill the kid. Set to be released next year, CarouHELL stars Steve Rimpici, Sé Marie, and Haley Madison.

New Office Uprising Clip Teaches You How To Survive Your Co-Workers

Let’s be honest, most of us have daydreamed at work about what we’d do to our co-workers if there was an apocalypse type scenario.

Horror Comedy ‘Found Footage’ Pits Bully Against Bully

From the writing/directing/acting trio of Travis M. Riggs, Drew Beverly, and William J. Sasso comes the horror comedy Found Footage. “For three teenage friends, Lawrence (Jared Bess), Jeremy (Willy J. Sasso) and Tanner (Drew Byerly) life is pretty good in their own little bubble. Tanner loves sports but has obviously been hit in the head one too many times. He also enjoys roughhousing with his good friend Jeremy who finds joy in musical theater and drama club. Unfortunately, his passion does not amount to any talent. And then there is Lawrence, the overweight angry guy with glasses who hates the world and has a dad that just might be a serial killer. All is well in their world until Lawrence decides he’s tired of being bullied (although no actual bullying ever occurs) and the only time they find themselves in trouble with the popular kids is because they have instigated it. Regardless, the guys decide to take matters into their

Movie Review: Vidar the Vampire (2017)

Pity poor Vidar…be-sodden with an eternally “ill” Mother and at the mercy of a Draconian Christian community, our hero has led an overbearingly monotonous existence keeping up the family farm while trying to conform to societal norms. Seeking escape, Vidar begs Jesus for salvation, looks at a Playboy, dreams of a naked demoness (a dream in which he sees himself as a vampire…that’s foreshadowing for ya), wakes up and smokes a cig, and heads to his barn where a vampire Jesus appears and forces our hero to give him a beej…which turns him into a creature of the night…a bloodsucker who also regularly attends therapy to figure out what condition his condition is in. Dammit Vidar, you are one mother fucker of a film!! Moving on, Vidar begins a debauched journey into all of life’s (and afterlife’s) pleasures with that demon Jesus (there’s the ultimate dichotomy for you) egging him on all the way! Can our hero find his humanity

Sink Your Teeth Into ‘The Santa Clarita Diet’ Season 2 Trailer

Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant will soon be returning to Netflix for season 2 of the zomedy (zombie-comedy) “Santa Clarita Diet”. I don’t know about you, but we couldn’t be happier. The show has it all including a new blood-soaked trailer. In “The Santa Clarita Diet” Joel (Timothy Olyphant) and Sheila (Drew Barrymore) are husband and wife realtors leading vaguely discontented lives in the L.A. suburb of Santa Clarita with their teenaged daughter, Abby (Liv Hewson), until Sheila goes through a dramatic change sending their lives down a road of death and destruction…but in a good way. Picking up right where we left off, Season 2 of “Santa Clarita Diet” finds the Hammonds trying to adapt to Sheila’s now-advanced undead state — even though she’s desperately working to hold on to her suburban lifestyle and not be defined as just another monster. Unfortunately — while the family has become markedly better at murder — the number of missing people in

Details Emerge About Simon Pegg And Nick Frost’s New Film And New Series

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are an ideal acting team. If you’ve seen Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End, or Paul you know what we say is true. Now, we are about to get a double dose of the duo with a show and a new film and we have a few of the details. First up is ‘Truth Seekers’, a new upcoming horror-comedy series about a three-person paranormal investigation group. According to Variety, each episode will center on a paranormal incident. Each episode is going to be an adventure, a potential haunting or something,” Pegg says. “It’ll start as a very parochial idea, a very small business venture for these people, but it will expand as the series goes on to be something far more global. It’s a language everyone understands, the mystery of the unknown. Shaun of the Dead was a very parochial story set in North London, and somehow it managed to get this
