Epic Pictures and DREAD has now announced the release date and the pre-order link for the monster-driven, audience chosen, horror film Book of Monsters, from director Stewart Sparke (The Creature Below). Book of Monsters, written by Paul Butler (The Creature Below), “began life as a Kickstarter campaign back in 2017 with a unique twist – backers could vote on six key elements of the movie including what form the monsters would take and how they killed their victims! The result is a fun horror movie with buckets of gore and creepy monsters which have been brought to life with old-school practical effects and the participation of the audience.” In the film, starring Nicholas Vince (Hellraiser), Lyndsey Craine, Anna Dawson, and Michaela Longden, Sophie’s 18th birthday becomes a bloodbath when monsters descend upon her house and start to devour the party guests. Sophie and her friends must rally together to send their party crashers back to hell. The love and support
