The craft stores know something you don’t know. That’s right. It’s time for the 2014 Halloween Season TV Preview! This is where we let you know about the time and channel for everything we can find on TV having to do with Halloween or Horror for the month of October and sometimes late September. This will include holiday specials, horror movies, TV show premier dates and Halloween episodes of your favorite series as well as documentaries that might be considered scary. Anything and everything that might get your ghost good.

I always start with TCM because you can tell they take such care in developing their lineup. Be sure to check out their Thursday nights. This is truly a unique year for that station.

A quick note: We are not going to be able to get it all. So many different markets and channels and providers… it’s...

Water Tree Media have released the first clip from the much anticipated (at least by me and fans of the awesome Bill Oberst) teen slasher film Ditch Day Massacre, which stars horror icon Bill Oberst Jr. (Children of Sorrow, Scary or Die, Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies) and Lynn Lowry (Cat People, The Crazies).

The film also stars ambitious up and coming talents Katy Foley (Disdain), Zach Silverman (A Broken Code), Tara Gerard (Lake Dead), Mad Brad Potts (Puppet Master X, “Glee”) and martial arts star Morgan Benoit (The Forbidden Kingdom) and is helmed by first time director Joe Hendrick, who has collaborated with horror screenwriter/author Daniel P. Coughlin (Lake Dead, Farmhouse) and sibling actor/writer Ryan Coughlin (Back Slash, “Jericho”); in a film which tells the story of:

Jenny Bilson, a high school senior, [who[ is the perfect student, and a wonderful daughter to a veteran police detective. But a figure from her past has come knocking. And, throwing a high school ‘ditch party,’ will end up being one Hell of a mistake!

From the Press Release:

Ditch Day Massacre stars horror icon Bill Oberst, Jr. (Children of Sorrow, Scary or Die), and Lynn Lowry (Cat People, The Crazies). First-time director Joe Hendrick’s collaborative efforts with horror screenwriter/author Daniel P.

It's not a lot better than the previous teaser artwork that we had for George Bessudo (Farmhouse, Lake Dead) and Intandem Films' Glimmer, but this latest bit of sales art for the flick does have a rather creepy vibe... plus confirmation that it will be in 3D.

Laura Ramsey (The Ruins), Shawn Roberts (X-Men, Resident Evil, Edge of Darkness), and Amy Smart (The Butterfly Effect, Crank, Mirrors) star.

Look for more on this one soon!

Synopsis

When 16-year-old Annie Tuttle takes a walk at her lakefront home, she spots a young girl standing on the ice-covered lake. As Lucy falls through the ice, Annie hurries to rescue her and sees a figure at the center of the lake; the figure seems to shimmer and disappear before her eyes.

Nine years later Annie is happily married to Jack Cole. Annie gets a letter which reads: “It’s going to kill you.

Trail Of Blood may be presented by Joe Dante – who is attached as a producer – but it is written and directed by Joseph and Justin Guerrieri, marking the duo’s feature directorial debut.

The story follows Jim Lerner, a young U.S. Marine, and his six friends as they go on a weekend camping trip. Deep in the woods they stumble upon, of all things, the mutilated corpses of another vacationing couple. They then meet the “Angel of Death” – really just a disturbed war veteran – who mistakes them for the killers, takes them hostage, and forces them into a series of traumatizing mind games that push them to, and possibly over, the edge.

The official website claims “Their maddening fight for survival will uncover the darkest parts of humanity and leave you breathless,” but you can watch the trailer – a montage of guns, knives, blood and one-liners – and be the judge of that yourself…...

Some pretty nifty stuff has come in regarding Joe Dante's next film ... well next film as a producer any way. The man himself is getting ready to present to hungry horror fans a good old fashioned slasher flick and the first teaser art is in!

Trail of Blood has been directed by the duo of Joseph Guerrieri and Justin Guerrieri and the flick stars Robert Picardo, Tim Barraco, Kandis Erickson, Mackenzie Mason and Maggie VandenBerghe. Trevor Torseth (Lake Dead) plays "the Marine."

Synopsis

Jim Lerner, a young Marine enlistee, is enjoying a camping trip deep in a California forest with a group of friends when they realize they are lost. They encounter an Iraq war veteran named Dallas and his girlfriend, Chastity, who are on a sadistic killing spree. Dallas is determined to re-enact the horrors of war on his young victims. A maverick FBI agent is on the trail of the killers,...

Enchanted forests, haunted hillsides, secluded cabins and the creatures that reside in dark places – have had us biting our nails since the early German Expressionist film era. Witches, werewolves, monsters and maniacs can be lurking ‘round the corner just about any place you can imagine. With Nicholas Cage’s Season of The Witch out on DVD and Blu-ray next week, we’re going to take a look at some of the most iconic and eerie locales in thrillers and horror films that make for the best places to splatter, slice and slash.

Lakes

Crystal Lake is well-known from the beloved Friday The 13th and even though those films are set in New York, there so happens to be a real Crystal Lake in the San Gabriel’s near Los Angeles that many horror fans like to claim as their own. Lake Placid is home to a killer crocodile and movies like Eden Lake,...

Hide From director Jamison Brandi comes Hide starring Lisa Younger (The Wrong Way), James C. Burns (Lake Dead) and Matt O' Neill (365 Days). I have to say when I saw the initial plot synopsis, I got really excited as it combined to of my favorite horror film tangents that will usually ensure a successful horror movie - Halloween and a game of hide and seek. Just look at how well John Carpenter's Halloween scored with the holiday. Or look at how successful Hide and Seek, starring Robert De Niro, was at the box office utilizing the beloved children's game.

In Hide, Chesterfield High School basketball practice has ended. One year later the town is still reeling from the massacre of a brutal mischief night murder, but even the statewide curfew won't stop these teens from pulling pranks on Hallow's Eve.

The first decade of the new millennium has come to an end, and that means it is now time for film sites all over the web to begin posting their various retrospectives and lists recalling the decade that was. I generally as a rule dislike such lists because they are always so subjective. Then I said screw it and took it upon myself to do one of my own naming the ten worst horror movies of the past decade. Besides, people love bitching on the Internet about lists like this, and who am I to deny readers yet another excuse to get into pointless flame wars over personal opinions.

Of course, this list is just my personal opinion which is not legally binding ... unless Proposition 304 passes. And we all pray that it will.

I set two rules when putting this list together: Only horror movies that received fairly wide theatrical...

Joseph Guerrieri (The Jackalope) and Justin Guerrieri are the brains and the legs behind horror film Trail of Blood. A film that is character driven, horrifying, and full of surprises, Trail of Blood is currently in post-production and searching for distribution. To be shown at film festivals beginning in 2010 the Guerrieri brothers have taken the time out from moviemaking to talk to me for all of you about Trail of Blood, the process of filmmaking, life and filming in the Angeles National Forest. Have a look at the interview below and prepare to be soaked in blood once the film is available to fans in 2010.

(Michael Allen) Hi Joseph and Justin thanks for talking about your film Trail of Blood.

Chicago – Lionsgate and After Dark Films’ recently released their third collection of “8 Films to Die For” and this year proved to be the most uninspiring octet to date. With fewer risks taken than the last two years and less extreme failures or successes, “After Dark Horrorfest III” is terrifyingly dull.

Overall DVD Rating: 2.0/5.0 What makes this year’s collection rather forgettable is the lack of extremes on either side of the rating spectrum. The first two years produced some truly excellent genre gems including “Borderland,” “The Hamiltons,” and “The Abandoned.” At the same time, movies like “Dead Lake,” “Undead,” and “Nightmare Man” should be buried in a deep hole and never see the light of day again.

I have to admit that I liked the variety in quality of the last two years more than this year, when nearly every film registered as forgettable more than good or bad. There was one notable standout,...

Another week has passed, so you know what that means. Your creepy, chainsaw-wielding rodent friend Psycho Bunny has arrived with a look back at the past seven days in blood-drenched horror goodness. I've taken every story from the past week and broken them down in easy-to-digest tasty little nuggets of terror. Eat 'em up and swallow 'em down, 'cause after this meal, you'll be filled with knowledge and ready to start another wicked week.

The other night I finally got an opportunity to see Let The Right One In and it lived up to the hype. Now, while an artfully-crafted piece of sublime horror filmmaking is great and all, there's also something to be said for the horror films with no pretension, no subtlety, and no grace whatsoever when it comes to what they're selling. I'm talking about the films that are all about two things: blood and boobs, not necessarily in that order. I'm talking about movies like Bikini Girls on Ice.

Don't let the title fool you into thinking this is a movie about bikini-clad skaters putting on an ice capade. Bikini Girls on Ice follows the very simple formula of getting some attractive women in as little clothing as possible and then killing them. It is a time-honored tradition, no?

Bikini Girls on Ice is the harrowing and sometimes top heavy...

NEW YORK -- After Dark Films completed its demented Horrorfest lineup by acquiring all North American rights to the supernatural thriller Crazy Eights and the psycho killer flick Lake Dead.

James K. Jones' Crazy Eights, starring Frank Whaley and Traci Lords, follows six friends who reunite after two decades at a childhood friend's funeral. They dig up a time capsule and discover the remains of a child from their past. Jones, Dan DeLuca, John Kaila and Patrick Moses produced the project, which also stars Dina Meyer, Gabrielle Anwar, George Newbern and DeLuca.

George Bessudo's Dead follows three sisters who journey to their late grandfather's cabin in hopes of getting his inheritance. Unfortunately, a band of butchers has decided to sublet the place before they arrive. Edwin Craig, Pat McNeely and James C. Burns star in the film, which was produced by Todd Chamberlain, Hector Echavarria, Jason Hice and Mike Karkeh.

The Horrorfest "8 Films to Die For" lineup is rounded out by Borderland, The Deaths of Ian Stone, Mulberry Street, Nightmare Man, Tooth and Nail and Unearthed. The features hit more than 300 screens nationwide from Nov.
