Before Daniel Falicki’s Accidental Exorcist is released this Friday, check out three clips from the film! Also in today’s Highlights: a new clip from Me and My Mates Vs. The Zombie Apocalypse and DVD / Digital HD release details for Model Hunger.
Watch Three Clips from Accidental Exorcist: “All Richard really wants is to finish his book but fate dealt him a very strange hand – he is a natural born Exorcist. In fact, he is the best there ever was and with possessions on the rise across the city, he’s booked solid. Reluctantly, he faces the fact that performing exorcisms is the only thing he’s truly good at even though it’s wearing him down and making his life utterly miserable. Case after case, he stares evil incarnate in the face, taking on satanic forces to help those in need. However, he soon finds his power...

WildEye Releasing have announced they are set to release the directorial debut of Scream Queen Debbie Rochon, Model Hunger. After nearly 300 films, Rochon (Return to Nuke ‘Em High, Phobia, The Theater Bizarre) steps behind the camera to skewer audiences with her blood-curling take on an actress’ response to forced retirement.
Former pinup model Ginny (Lowry) had been cast aside by the heartless and exploitative modeling industry. Ginny didn’t take rejection well and grew into a revenge-seeking, bloodthirsty, broken woman. When her new neighbors Debbie (Shepis) and Sal (Capobianco) move in, Debbie begins to notice strange things going on. Sal believes she is mentally unstable, but Debbie becomes determined to figure out what secret life Ginny is leading. Her new nosy neighbor throws a damper on Ginny’s private life: her cannibalistic addictions and ever-growing body count. Both women become determined to put an end to the other’s obsession.

James Balsamo carries a torch for indie filmmakers. He is truly devoted to his craft, and his newest release, Catch of the Day, is a great example of his work. Balsamo recently sat down with Dread Central to talk about his project.
Catch of the Day is far from your traditional horror film. It's truly a genre-bender with lots of comedy mixed with plenty of gore. Balsamo talked about this blending of styles. "Catch of the Day is a buddy cop comedy meets mutant fish people," Balsamo said.
"This is my strangest film to date; it features real car explosions, aquatic mutants, a mad scientist, and beautiful big-breasted bikini babes. This was an awesome project to film. I did all my own stunts in the film and drove a car through a wall. I don't want to give away all the action. You'll have to get your copy at AcidBathProductions.

Can you tell me a bit about the genesis of Screaming in High Heels? Did director Jason Paul Collum approach each of you with the idea of featuring you in a documentary about the Scream Queen era?
Brinke Stevens - A few years ago, Jason and I co-produced a documentary called Something to Scream About, which featured popular actresses like Julie Strain and Debbie Rochon. However, it didn't include Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer, which disappointed some fans. Jason Collum, being such a longtime fan himself,...

The theme for this year’s B-Movie, Underground and Trash Film Festival, held in the city of Breda in the Netherlands, is “Apocalypse.” So get ready to watch the world end dozens of different ways on Sept. 5-9 at various venues around the city.
The fun kicks off on the 5th with the German movie Hell by director Tim Fehlbaum. If you didn’t know, “hell” means “bright” in German and, given that title, this flick is set appropriately in a post-apocalyptic future where global warming has decimated the planet and surviving tribes battle for water and food.
Other post-apocalyptic visions include Milan Konjevic’s Zone of the Dead starring legendary zombie killer Ken Foree; Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro’s Bazillian underground hit Beyond the Grave about a world where magic and madness rule the world; and Rob van Eyck’s bizarrely twisted Afterman and Afterman 2.

"I made the choice to do indie films, and I’ve had a lot of fun. I’ve had much better roles than a lot of the women that are working in Hollywood because I get to do the sort of crazy, nutty characters... like in American Nightmare I play a psycho serial killer. Very seriously. Not for laughs. I get to play really good roles, and that’s why I’ve always been drawn to it."
That quote was from a 2008 interview with Debbie Rochon. Seeing how we're celebrating Indie Horror Month here at Dread Central, I thought it would be nice to focus this month's Tip of the Scalpels on indie stars (don't worry, Stephen King fans, we'll get back to him very soon). My deliberation process on just who should get the Tip of the Scalpel nod during Indie Horror Month lasted about two seconds. There was...

*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by director Greg Lamberson.
Director/writer: Greg Lamberson.
The Slime City Massacre is a follow-up to another independent horror feature titled Slime City (1988). This earlier film has developed a cult following, with this reviewer having no knowledge of director Greg Lamberson's previous work. Now, twenty-two years later, B-movie fans can find out what happened to cultist Zachary (Richard C. Sabin), after he transformed his essence into ectoplasm! This latest film, is full of low budget make-up effects, dilapatated sets and fluorescent bathed prop devices. There is a subtle charm here - somewhere. Slime City Massacre only rarely rises above the film's inherent campiness and this reviewer found the film mostly entertaining.
The film provides a dual timeline, with events occurring on-screen in 1959, with a prostitute (Brooke Lewis) being lured into a cult and in present day, plus seven years. A...

It’s lucky 13 for the Boston Underground Film Festival as they celebrate their raucous 13th annual edition this year. Opening with the much buzzed about bloody feature film Hobo With a Shotgun starring Rutger Hauer and directed by Jason Eisener, the fest then barrels on for eight wild nights and days from March 24-31.
While there’s plenty of underground goodness from the U.S.A., this year Buff feels like it’s a much more international affair with several sick features from around the globe. There’s gory horror and quirky black comedy from Japan in the guise of Yoshihiro Nishimura’s Helldriver and Sion Sono’s Cold Fish; the Argentinian freak-out Phase7 by Nicolas Goldbart; David Blyth’s Wound is a psychological thriller from New Zealand; and Mark Hartley’s Machete Maidens Unleashed! is a look at Philippine exploitation cinema from the ’70s.

The key selling point to many great (and tons of not-so-great) Horror films is young, attractive women. You can't have a scary monster or a psychopathic killer without a damsel in distress for them to terrorize.
Sure, a female lead is a necessary component to any film, but no other genre relies as heavily on strong female characters as Horror. The women who do it best and do it more often are awarded the title of "Scream Queen".
They are the emotional core, the eye candy, and the very reason that these films both scare and excite us. The look of fear in their eyes transports us into their world and makes us feel what it must be like to be chased by a demented murderer, mythical beast or demon from hell. As our society changes, adapts and evolves; so must the Horror genre.

While DreamWorks Animation doesn’t typically contend with rival studio Pixar’s knack for character development and story, Megamind is one instance where style wins out over substance just enough to allow a modest recommendation. At least, that endorsement stands if one is viewing the 3D presentation.
In the opening sequence, alien infants (and instant rivals) Megamind (voiced by Will Ferrell) and Metro Man (Brad Pitt) crash land on Earth where their lives diverge on wildly different tangents. Metro Man is raised in splendor and becomes a flying hero to the citizens of Metro City. By contrast, the blue-tinged title character grows up in a prison, developing unusual speech patterns, like pronouncing the city’s name in a manner similar to the word atrocity. Ostracized by his peers, the super-villain’s only friend is Minion (David Cross), who, oddly enough, is little more than a fish swimming in a bowl atop a mechanized gorilla suit,...

I was introduced to Jeremiah Kipp's creepy short film masterpiece 'Contact' just a few weeks ago and I instantly became a fan and found out alot of cool info about him afterwards. Kipp has been involved in some really cool projects from the critical smash zombie opus I Sell The Dead to the upcoming Psycho Street horror anthology. Check out my interview with filmmaker Jeremiah Kipp where we talk about the cool projects he has going on, some of the cool people he's involved with in filmmaking, working with some legendary genre vets, his acting and I brought up my crush on actress Debbie Rochon. Brian S- Hey Jeremiah, we posted your short film 'Contact' a few weeks ago and people really are digging it!

In an event described as "a B-movie jamboree of awesomeness", the Polly Staffle Grindhouse Fest - informally known as the Pollygrind - launches this Wednesday until May 16 at the Sci-Fi Center (2520 State Street) in Las Vegas.
Thirteen films and more than 31 trailers, music videos and shorts will play the PollyGrind, described by Vampires.com as "one of the biggest events for grindhouse and trash film lovers this year."
Organiser Chad Clinton Freeman said: "The festival is being put on in the same spirit as old-school grindhouse cinema - no funding and creatively using whatever is available.
"With that said, I think the line-up turned out rather nicely and I think everyone that comes out will enjoy what William Powell's Sci-Fi Center and the PollyGrind have to offer."
Five features will have their world premieres at the event. John R. Hand's sci-fi arthouse film Scars of Youth (pictured above...

Award-winning short filmmaker David Karges gave us the scoop that he has secured backing for his first feature, the horror movie Dark Karma, and has signed Fangoria Radio’s own Debbie Rochon for the lead. Robyn Griggs, another actress with a long string of genre credits (including turns opposite Rochon in November Son, Severe Injuries and Dead Clowns) will co-star.
Rochon will star in the flick as Karma Kaplan, a B-movie actress who wakes up in her apartment after a night celebrating a “Scream Queen of the Year” award. With a broken ankle and no memory of the previous evening’s events, she is visited by a succession of friends (including a “repressed and submissive, co-dependent” woman named Rhianna, to be played by Griggs) who assure her that she’s simply suffering an alcohol-induced blackout. But she begins to realize that her reality is breaking down, leading her into a psychotic state.

For November Son (available on DVD April 14), the sequel to the gay thriller October Moon, writer/director Jason Paul Collum worked with both ends of the genre spectrum, the seasoned vet (Brinke Stevens) and the first-film newbie (Sacha Sacket).
Stevens, who reprises the role of “Nancy” in November Son, has over 100 acting credits. If you are a fan of the genre, you know Stevens even if you’ve never seen one of her films. By all accounts one of the nicest and most accommodating actresses to work with, Stevens weathered the “Girl in the Shower” storm of her early films and has come out the other side with nuanced performances in films like Mommy and October Moon. At an age when most B-movie queens fade into real estate careers, Stevens keeps racking up the roles, and she doesn’t have to take off her top to do it.

Producer Mark Terry dropped us a line with a status report and the new poster (seen below) for his vampire movie Live Evil. He also let us know that a new trailer (which you can see at the bottom of this page) was posted recently at the film’s MySpace page.
Terry recently returned from selling Live Evil, directed by Jay (Ghost Lake) Woelfel and starring genre vet Tim Thomerson as a sword-wielding, vampire-hunting priest, at the American Film Market. “Selling these kinds of movies feels like hawking a used car at times,” he tells Fango. “As a producer, I put all my focus on what I know genre fans want to see while still trying to tell an interesting story. That way, when buyers ask, ‘Do you have names, gore, action, stunts, was it shot on film, nudity, and is it a subgenre?’ I can say, ‘Yes, it has all those elements.

The folks at New York City’s Two Boots Pioneer Theater (155 East 3rd Street and Avenue A) let Fango know that a new guest is taking part in its Schlocktober series of horror screenings. Veteran B-movie-meister Ted V. Mikels (pictured) will do a special phone-in intro for the Saturday Splatter Show that plays tomorrow, October 18 at 10 p.m.
The program consists of Son of the New York Grindhouse Trailer Show, featuring coming attractions for all manner of horror and exploitation fare, followed by Mikels’ best-known feature, 1972’s The Corpse Grinders, about a couple of cat-food-company owners who start putting everyone’s favorite secret ingredient into their product. And it’ll all be screened from 35mm prints. Also worth noting at the Two Boots this weekend is the world premiere of Ivan Zuccon’s H.P. Lovecraft-inspired Colour From The Dark, starring Fango Radio’s own Debbie Rochon on Sunday,...

- If there is one thing genre fans love more than genre films and magazines that report on genre films, it’s genre-focused conventions (“cons” for short, i.e. “Comic Con”) – gatherings of fans and industry professionals (and press!). While I’d feel pretty out of place at a Star Wars or Dungeons and Dragons convention, I will feel right at home this weekend at Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors, coming to the New York area this weekend (June 29 through July 1) by way of Secaucus, NJ. Secaucus is a five to ten minute train ride from Penn Station, and a familiar location to anyone who commutes via rail from NJ to NYC during the week.Fangoria, for those of you who aren’t familiar with the magazine, is the world’s number premiere supplier of horror-related journalism, reporting on films, print, video games, toys, and any other form of media
