The Nightmare Collection, is nearing completion on a follow-up to its popular Indie horror shorts compilation series which saw Volume 1 hit the market to positive reviews. The DVD is a collection of some of the best horror shorts from around the world. They are introduced by a unique character called, Necro Nancy, played by the talented and beautiful actress/model Krista Grotte. On the DVD the Nancy character is playing out a 'From Beyond the Grave' murderous storyline all her own while introducing the shorts to the viewing audience. This gives the viewers a voyeuristic type experience as seen through the lens of the accompanying cameraman as Nancy dispatches her victims between films. Not ... (more…)

Happy Cloud Pictures is pleased to announce that its fourth feature, SPLATTER MOVIE: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT is celebrating its official DVD release. As detailed in Fangoria Magazine, SPLATTER MOVIE is a surreal and off-beat "documentary" about the making of a slasher movie called "Tessaract" (which, in turn, is about a group of filmmakers shooting a movie called "Splatter Movie") whose cast and crew is being stalked by a killer masquerading as the film's fictional killer. Written by Mike Watt and directed by and starring Amy Lynn Best, SPLATTER MOVIE quickly spirals into bizarre territory as the line between film and reality blurs--then disappears entirely!

SPLATTER MOVIE: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT ... (more…)

Indie horror fans were saddened last year when John Polonia, one half of the Polonia Brothers production team, passed away unexpectedly. Together, the twins had been responsible for such low budget titles as SPLATTER FARM, FEEDERS and SPLATTER BEACH (and many, many more; I've posted John's complete credits at the end of this piece). The shows must go on: Mark Polonia and John's lifelong friend Matt Satterly will continue to make films as Cinegraphic Productions, an offshoot of Polonia Bros. Entertainment.

Even more exciting: Brett Piper, the man responsible for BITE ME!, SHOCK-O-RAMA, and BACTERIUM is teaming up with Polonia on a new feature, which Piper will direct. First there was MAN-... (more…)

Pictured is the initial clay sculpture for an appliance created by Craig Lindberg for SLIME CITY MASSACRE. This gag is a spin on the original film's "stomach mouth" and will be worn by one of my new leading ladies. I initially posted this image on my Live Journal, where I keep a daily record of the film's progress, but some small minded person complained to Photobucket that I'd uploaded "objectionable" material and a funny "Removed" icon appeared in its place.

So I've not only posted the shot on FZ as an "easter egg," but traveled back in time to do so. (more…)
