From the depraved minds of directors Adam Rifkin (Detroit Rock City, The Dark Backward), Tim Sullivan (2001 MANIACS, VH-1's "Scream Queens"), Adam Green (HATCHET, FROZEN), and Joe Lynch (WRONG TURN 2, Knights of Badassdom), CHILLERAMA is a festival of gore, guts, goofiness and good times. In addition to experiencing all the chills, thrills – and goo – of the ultimate midnight movie in high-definition 1080p picture and DTS-HD audio, CHILLERAMA boasts two hours of insightful and heretofore unseen bonus features that delve deep into the creative process of these four renowned directors of the macabre, as they labored and toiled to create a cinematic love letter to horror and film fans.

Produced by ArieScope Pictures and in the spirit of classic "omnibus" films like Dead of Night, Tales From the Crypt, Creepshow and Twilight Zone: The Movie, with four vignettes that not only celebrate the golden age of B horror schlock but also nearly the entire history of horror cinema itself, CHILLERAMA offers something for every bad taste. With titles like "Wadzilla," "I Was A Teenage Werebear," The Diary of Anne Frankenstein," and "Zom-B-Movie," CHILLERAMA features appearances by Joel David Moore (HATCHET, AVATAR), Lin Shaye (2001 MANIACS), Ray Wise (ROBOCOP), Kane Hodder (HATCHET), Eric Roberts (THE DARK KNIGHT) and more cameos than one can (body) count.

It's the closing night at the last drive-in theater in America and Cecil B. Kaufman (Richard Riehle: HATCHET) has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons. Four films so rare that they have never been exhibited publicly on American soil until this very night! What could possibly go wrong?

From directors to gaffers, many in the movie business see unpaid internships as a necessary step to gaining experience and contacts in a cliquish entertainment industry.

The Most Banned Horror Movies in History
The controversial 'Human Centipede II: Full Sequence' opening Friday in 18 select theaters around the country has already achieved a mountain of notorious hype. The sequel to 2010's shocker about a mad doctor obsessed with surgically connecting people mouth-to-anus promises to be even more disgusting and brutal -- and with reports that 'Human Centipede II' features even more graphic torture, bodily fluids and rape, it's no surprise that the movie getting into trouble.

Hey, Watch It! Madison Horror Film Festival scares because they care
If there's one thing to be learned from this year's Madison Horror Film Festival (besides don't go in the basement, don't go into the woods, don't babysit at the weird old house down the street, etc. etc.) is that there are many different kinds of horror. Different shades of red, if you will.

ALSO

Aaron Eckhart To Become 'I, Frankenstein'
Hollywood has a serious case of Frankenstein fever (among other things…) and is pressing ahead with yet another project inspired by Mary Shelly's famous sci-fi/horror novel: I, Frankenstein, an adaptation of the comic book written by UNDERWORLD co-creator Kevin Grevioux.

The film has a writer/director onboard, in the form of Stuart Beattie, the co-writer of the first PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN and G.I. Joe movies – as well as sole scriber of Michael Mann's Collateral and a script collaborator on director David Slade's horror comic book adaptation, 30 DAYS OF NIGHT.

Get away from them. They aren't experts, they have no idea what they are talking about.

They said it to George Romero in the 1980s while zombie interest was clearly growing both in film and comics. Look for Stuart Kerr and Ralph Griffith's DEAD WORLD series.

They, meaning those who don the misnomer of "expert" said it in the 1990s while zombie games from DOOM to RESIDENT EVIL to HOUSE OF THE DEAD took off.

These experts said it in the 2000s to director Zack Snyder when Universal Pictures wanted to release DAWN OF THE DEAD 2004 direct to DVD instead of in theaters.
