New movie crew to show short films
The Rogue Artist Movement Gallery is proof that if you build it, artists will come.
"Artists just need somewhere to hang out," founder Nick Jakubiak said. "It's easier when you've got a place opened up that people come in and say, 'hey, I do artwork,' or 'I'm a musician,' and give them the opportunity to do their craft."

Word of Mouth: 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' campaigns hard
The swoony, sparkly vampires in the "Twilight" saga have sold a bloody fortune at the box office, thanks largely to a devoted fan base of young women and teenage girls. But will young adult men respond in the same way to the vicious vein-drainers in the far more grown-up"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter"?

Horror Movie News: Seth Grahame-Smith Updates Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Scary Red Band Trailer for V/H/S Debuts
Throughout its several years of development, Lionsgate's adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies hasn't had an easy time trying to make it onto the big screen. With three directors dropping out (David O. Russell, Mike White, Craig Gillespie), Grahame-Smith has had to remain patient throughout several "almost" scenarios for a potential adaptation of his best-selling mashup novel (which can also be safely credited to Jane Austen).

PERPETUAL BULLET IS LIVE AND WIDE!
My first published story was in 1995. It was also my first pro sale.
That felt pretty good!
My supernatural tale, RATTLESNAKE TIE, was published in the October 1995 issue of Biker Magazine and they paid 10 cents a word.
Since then I've had a number of both fiction and non-fiction published. I began one of the oldest Horror Thriller websites on the Internet. And after all of this time, I’ve learned what makes a good story and what publishers want to sell.

From John Everson
NightWhere: leave your inhibitions (and your soul) at the door
John Everson's sixth novel (and first for the new Samhain Publishing imprint) has just been released in e-book form, and for those familiar with Everson's past erotic horror work (released on the now-defunct Leisure Books imprint), get ready – this one trumps them all. One reader recently tweeted, "NightWhere: what a sex club would be like if it was run by the cast of Hellraiser." That sums it up pretty well.
The novel will be released to bookstores in trade paperback form this October, but in the meantime, readers can discover its dark allure through all of the usual e-book sources (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, etc). Readers can also get a sample of the novel - you can read the prologue for free on the publisher's site: SamhainPublishing.
NightWhere follows Mark and Rae, an oversexed couple who indulge in the "swinger" lifestyle. But Mark is really the follower here; he knows that in order to keep Rae, he has to let her indulge in all of her kinky desires, even those that include bondage and pain.
They've found a workable, if unusual balance in their marriage… until they get an invite to the mysterious NightWhere, a floating sex club talked about in swinger circles only in whispers. Only those invited gain entry – and the location changes every month.
The trappings of whips and chains here are not just trappings. In NightWhere, people bleed.

THE THREE
Hello everyone, we have some exciting horror news: The Three, a film concept that we had worked on last year is "kickstarting" it with donations to fund their original and dark feature length horror film. Check out their official website to see the perks per donation, as well as the cool in-depth videos which explain more about the feature length production of The Three.

And please help spread the word as we believe in this special project. If you're sick and tired of the mindless generic horror of today, then this is the project to get behind. We need to spread the word on this revolutionary and original horror project.
