Well, surprising nobody, the horror community rose to the occasion! Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival is extremely proud to announce that they will host the New York State Premiere of ‘Return to Return to Nuke Em High’ aka Vol. 2.

From writers-directors-producers Martin Sonntag and Bastain Brinch Pedersen comes, Escaping the Dead, a film inspired by a series of articles about the deathdrug “Krokodil” that was published about the same period of time when Ronald Poppo had his face eaten by a naked man hooked on bathsalt in Miami., Escaping the Dead begins on a typical day for the lead character, David.

The Toxic Avenger Is Getting A “Mainstream” Remake

Brace yourself, news has come that a remake of 1984’s ‘The Toxic Avenger’ is in the works. Conrad Vernon, co-director of ‘Sausage Party’, has now signed on to direct the new film. Mike Arnold and Chris Poole, known for their work on the animated series ‘Archer’, are writing the script, Deadline reports. The original film follows a New Jersey teen who accidentally tumbles into a vat of nuclear waste that turns him into a mutant superhero. The original was directed by Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman who also co-wrote the fun film. ‘The Toxic Avenger’ spawned several sequels and a huge line of merchandise, as well as a comic and even a musical. From the reports, it sounds as if we not be getting only one new movie, but that this will be the first film of a new franchise. The reboot is being described as more “grounded” and “mainstream” than the campy B-horror original. ‘Toxic Avenger’ will be “reimagined”

The first full trailer for ‘Death House’ has arrived and it is incredible! From Harrison Smith (Zombie Killers: Elephant’s Graveyard,The Fields, 6 Degrees of Hell, Camp Dread) comes a horror film the likes of which we’ve never seen. No other horror film in history has had such an enormous cast of genre icons. In the film, “Agents Toria Boon and Jae Novak have their own dark pasts, arriving at Death House to tour its levels and observe its denizens first hand as well as the medical and mental experiments of Drs. Eileen Fletcher and Karen Redmane—their depraved experiments date back to the Nazi doctors of World War II. Prison cells are virtual reality holodecks that recreate prisoner environments before they were incarcerated. A special hallucinogenic gas keeps inmates under control. The victims are homeless bused into Death House to play literal victims while killing habits are studied. The results are sick, but only a hint of what goes on here.

‘House of Monsters’ The Series

Dawn Brown, who worked on projects including ‘Alice in Wonderland’, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ and ‘The Hunger Games’, has begun her own stop animation series, ‘House of Monsters’. The series can be best described as the Universal Monsters meets ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’. Brown serves as writer, director and animator for the series. Warren Masner joins Brown as producer as well as a writer. Masner has provided concepts and designs, for example, he designed Bumblebee for the ‘Transformers’ movies. He also designed Superman’s suit in ‘Man of Steel’. The voice of Doctor Gaulstone, the narrator, should sound very familiar, it’s none other than Christopher Lloyd. Lloyd played the unforgettable role of Doc Brown in ‘Back to the Future’ as well as many other notable roles in his career. The first two episodes of ‘House of Monsters’ debuted on Vimeo on Demand on July 28th, 2015 and will later expand to other distributors. I watched episode one and two earlier today.
