I always say the best thing about running this site is all the great people and new friends I get to know because of it. One of the coolest people I have had the luck of meeting and becoming good friends with is Louie Cortes of New Needle Productions. Louie is a filmmaker from Queens, NY (represent!) who’s work includes the Halloween-centric feature Good Day and the horror short Help Me among others. His latest project is Haunted Hangover, a very cool concept starring his sister Sam as the host, and follows them as they visit and review different dark rides and haunted attractions in NYC and beyond. This first episode sees them visit Spook-A Rama in Coney Island! So check it out below and give them a follow across their various social media accounts. I know I look forward to seeing where they go next.

Today we have a cool new horror short film to share with you guys from Todd Spence and Zak White, the duo behind one of last years standout shorts “Where Is It”. This time they return with a fun short entitled “Your Date Is Here”, which tells the story of a mother and daughter playing an old board game. As evidenced by both of their shorts, they really have a knack for creating these well put together little tales and we look forward to more from them in the future. Read on to check it out.

I have been touting Osgood Perkin’s The Blackcoat’s Daughter since we saw it at the Popcorn Frights Film Festival last August. Not only were we blown away by it, but I also named it our Best Horror Film of 2016. I am well aware it was a limited festival release, but there is no way I could not do it since I loved it so much. Unfortunately it’s release was pushed back from last year to this upcoming February (which was also it’s original title) and wider in March. Now A24 films has released the newest trailer and some stills that we are happy to share below. 

This photo set is inspired by the Good Guy Doll factory seen in Child’s Play 2. A great deal of enthusiasm, care, and effort was put into creating these colorful new images and I hope it shows in the final product.

One of my favorite projects I have ever worked on was my collaboration with my new friend Ranya Dube aka La Garçonne. Originally I reached out to her in the comments section of one of her youtube videos after I heard her song in the film Starry Eyes, we began to discuss collaborating on releasing her music as an album on cassette.
