David Bowie Starred In A Little Known X-Rated Short Horror Film (Watch)

The world mourned the day that music icon David Bowie passed away. One of the worst parts of losing him is that we will never see or hear anything new that he had created. While it is not new, there is something of Bowie’s that you probably haven’t seen before. Bowie starred in a little-known short horror film titled The Boy in 1968. Exclusively shown in porn theaters when released, director Michael Armstrong’s film scored an X-rating due to the violence in the 13-minute film. The story centers on an artist (Michael Byrne) who paints a picture of a young man. The image somehow turns to flesh and stalks the artist. Terrified, he tries to kill the supernatural intruder (Bowie). Rest In Peace David Bowie 1947-2016

Sid Haig Stars As A Foul Mouthed Pumpkin In Adam Green’s 18th Annual Halloween Short Film

It’s just does not feel like Halloween until you carve a pumpkin. I bet you’ve never thought about from the pumpkin’s point of view though. Without thinking twice we cut off its top, jam our hands inside, and rip it’s innards out, before stabbing a knife into its face and carve out a smile or creepy scene. There’s another Halloween tradition, Adam Green’s yearly Halloween short film, via Ariescope Pictures. This year those two traditions go hand in hand. Green’s 18th annual Halloween film, titled ‘Don’t Do It’, features horror icon Sid Haig (Devil’s Rejects, House of 1000 Corpses) as the voice of a fouled mouthed pumpkin. ‘The Guest’ actor Chase Williams co-stars as a man having a moral dilemma about carving a pumpkin. Visit the Ariescope website for more Halloween themed short horror films.

The Irish Film ‘The Wake’ Now Live On Indiegogo

One of the ways indie horror filmmakers raise funds for production is through sites like Indiegogo. These campaigns are great because horror fans have the ability to not only see the film but also have an opportunity to be part of films. This month writer-director Rik Gordon is running an Indiegogo campaign in the hopes of raising funds for his upcoming short Irish horror film ‘The Wake’. The funds will go to special effects and makeup for the project and in return you will get great perks. Gordon had this to say about the film: “The Wake is a new and exciting short Irish horror film set around a traditional Irish wake. I want to create a film that will be an experience to watch; have strong, vivid characters, creepy, scary and suspenseful scenes and practical special effects with lots of blood!
