November 6, 2006 - A new flick on DVD of a mutated canniballistic street gang! Sounds gruesome!

The only thing worse than a street gang is a cannibal street gang! I'd bet my lunch on it. Andy & Luke Campbell, creators of the Splatter Rampage cult classics DEMON SUMMER and MIDNIGHT SKATER, have returned with their biggest and most ambitious film yet -- Splatter Rampage's grue-packed THE RED SKULLS (coming from Tempe Video in January). The Red Skulls have been the dominant street gang in town for years... but everything changes one night when gang leader Uri sees his best friend hacked to pieces and chewed to bits by a rival group. Uri is about to discover that no matter how tough you are, you don't mess with a mutated, cannibalistic street gang!

You've seen her in 'Saw' and the two gruesome sequels. However, South Carolina native Shawnee Smith has quite a horror past --- actually mainly a horror remake past which includes updatings of such chillers as 'I Saw What You Did...And I Know Who You Are' (1988), 'The Blob' (1988) with Kevin Dillon, the 1998 'Carnival of Souls' reworking, and the 1997 minseries remake of 'The Shining' with Steven Weber and Rebecca DeMornay. Smith has also been in the adaptation of the King miniseries 'The Stand' with Gary Sinise, Laura San Giacomo, Ruby Dee, Ossie Davis, Rob Lowe and Molly Ringwald.

September 27, 2006 - Tons of news!!! A new underground horror film is in post-production, a P.J. Soles news bit, a Racks & Razors Internet Radio Show, Masters of Horror events, Eye for Terror on DVD a Limp Bizkit acting gig and news on a new short.

Last summer an independent underground film by Cinema Image Productions titled 'BARRICADE' just wrapped.The movie will be available WORLDWIDE on DVD this January. The film stars Dante Tomasellii actress Raine Brown (Horror, Satan's Playground) and underground scream king Joe Zaso (5 Dead on the Crimson Canvas, Demonium, Nikos the Impaler). The film was shot in Germany. What a travel!Check out www.myspace.com/barricademovie for more info.

It seems like 'The Devil's Rejects' has brought a lot of horror people out of at least semi-retirement...and the loyal horror fans are loving it! Take for example PJ Soles (known for her work in 'Rock and Roll High School', 'Stripes', and of course Lynda in 'Halloween' as well as 'Carrie', 'Bloodbath', 'Mirror Mirror IV'). Also one of PJ's other early horror flicks was 'The Possessed' - a kooky 'Exorcist' TV movie ripoff with a killer 1977 cast -- veterans James Farentino, Joan Hackett, Eugene Roche, and Claudette Nevins as well as newcomers Diana Scarwid, Dinah Manhoff, Ann Dusenberry, and Harrison Ford (!) -- it's not such a great horror flick but kind of a cool time capsule in so many ways. Anyway, since her horror reemergence with 'The Devil's Rejects' PJ has been on the horror scene as Mrs. MacDonald in 'The Tooth Fairy' about a bed and breakfast experience gone terribly wrong as well as the mystery 'Murder on the Yellow Brick Road' (directed by actor Ross Hagen) also starring horror fave Nancy Kwan ('Night Creature') and the thriller 'Dead Calling'. We want more PJ! Speaking of horror bring back Nancy Loomis (Annie) as well! Hear that Mr. Zombie, we're bucking for them to have cameos (better yet solid roles) in your Sheri Moon remake!

Also, for everyone who enjoyed internet horror radio like at www.deadpit.com or www.ruemorgueradio.com.We are going to be having an internet radio show here too which will be hosted by two Canadian locals Greg Russell Tiderington (The webmaster/critic/interviewer of this site) and Heath Horejda with special segments at times by Owen keehnen and Brian Kirst along with a news segment by Dave Cockram. The show will feature music breaks by underground rock bands, reviews on movies both new and retro and an interview by actors or directors from horror films. Check back here in a couple weeks to hear our Halloween special with an interview by Linnea Quigley.

Queen of the "Erotic Horror" world aka "squeal queen" Misty Mundae appears under the name Erin Brown in Lucky McKee's ('Land of the Dead', 'Hostel') entry in The Masters of Horror series 'Sick Girl' which also stars the amazing heiress to the horror throne Angela Bettis ('May', 'Carrie', 'The Toolbox Murders', 'Bless the Child', etc.). In case you aren't familiar this Masters of Horror Series, get familiar with them These are basically hour long horror double feature DVDs from today's hot horror directors -- John Carpenter, Dario Argento, Joe Dante, Stuart Gordon, Don Coscarelli, Mick Garris, John Landis, etc. Another bit of something kind of cool/interesting about the series is actor Steven Weber ('Desperation', 'The Shining', 'The Temp', etc.) stars and also adapted the screenplay (from Bruce Jones' short story) for Dario Argento's twisted entry 'Jennifer'. Other stars who appear in various episodes of the series include: Billy Drago, Ron Perlman, Fairuza Balk, Michael Moriarty, Laurene Landon, cult actor supreme Udo Kier, Matt Frewer, Jeffrey Combs, Jason Priestley, and Lori Petty.
