One of the interesting developments in the online indie world has been crowdfunding – basically going out to the global audience of the internet and making a pitch for their money to fund your project. Two real leaders have emerged in this arena, Kickstarter and IndieGoGo and both deliver some really cool options for helping filmmakers (and other projects) get their work funded and completed.

George A. Romero created the modern screen ghoul, and now he’s having some fun with that role via a new video game called ZOMBIE SQUASH. Read on for details and an exclusive video preview.

More than anything, BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW (in theaters today from Magnet Releasing) makes me lament that the general population of U.S. moviegoers isn’t more adventurous. Not that BLACK RAINBOW is such an important, transcendent work, mind you (though it is often stunning and transportive), but it would be wonderful to see mass audiences subjected to a weird, sensory experience of this sort. It is, as parents would say, a trip.

Living in Los Angeles can be scary, but especially so for Suziey (Suziey Block), the heroine of ENTRANCE. In theaters and available nationwide today on IFC Midnight Cable VOD and digital outlets (SundanceNOW, iTunes, Amazon Streaming, XBOX Zune, PlayStation Unlimited), this quiet chiller was directed, co-scripted and co-produced by Dallas Hallam and Patrick Horvath, who discussed its creation with Fango.

Following his work on the two [REC] films, Spanish director Jaume Balagueró made the switch to a more psychologically frightening apartment-house thriller, SLEEP TIGHT, and now it’s got U.S. distribution.

Just earlier this week, Fango celebrated the theatre being particularly macabre this summer. Add another—an adaptation of one of the scariest tales of all time at that—to the pile!

Making its way to Canadian theaters for a limited run beginning today, director Casey Walker's rom-com/horror flick A LITTLE BIT ZOMBIE recently won the Gold Remi Award for Best Dark Comedy at the WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival and Best Feature Film at the Canadian Film Festival.

[In honor of this weekend's extra sensory experience, BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW, Fango asked director of the excellent, trippy explorations of identity I CAN SEE YOU and THE VIEWER, and Glass Eye Pix sound design extraordinaire (you've heard his eerie work in the likes of THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, STAKE LAND and THE INNKEEPERS), Graham Reznick to give us his favorite pieces of mind bending cinematic psychedelia.]

Just a reminder for New York-area fright fans: Hudson Horror Show V has a quintuple feature of genre favorites screening this Saturday, May 19 in Poughkeepsie, NY, all on 35mm!

A video message peeks into technology's frightening future. 

A NSFW first glimpse at Franck Khalfoun's remake of MANIAC has come out of Cannes and... what a first impression. 

When we got word that a direct-to-DVD thriller called JUNKYARD DOG was coming to disc and VOD this week, we shrugged. DTV horror movies are a penny a pound and the appearance of a new one isn’t exactly cause to strike up the band, but a closer look at the credit block revealed an interesting cast, specifically lead Vivica A. Fox  (KILL BILL) and professional lunatic Brad Dourif, strong screen presences all. And then there was the trailer, a slick – but not too slick – bit of grimy, intense terror. But the element that sealed the deal for the coverage you’re about to read is that the man who wrote and directed JUNKYARD DOG under the banner of his Bass Entertainment Group was Kim Bass, one of the head writers of one of the funniest sketch com TV shows in history, IN LIVING COLOR.

FANGORIA is giving away 50 free tickets to see an advance screening of CHERNOBYL DIARIES, the new Warner Bros. horror thriller produced by PARANORMAL ACTIVITY’s Oren Peli.

Will THE POSSESSION pick up where THE UNBORN dropped the ball on Jewish demon films?

Last week, FANGORIA was invited to tour the closed-down Linda Vista Hospital in Los Angeles as part of the promotion for Paramount’s DVD/Blu-ray release of THE DEVIL INSIDE. This place is legendary for being haunted. How legendarily haunted? Read below…

After impressing the hell out of a lot of people (including us) with last year’s ABSENTIA, director Mike Flanagan (pictured) has already found a U.S. distributor for his next feature, an expansion of his short film OCULUS.

Hot on the heels of the announcement that ORPHAN’s Isabelle Fuhrman is toplining David Gordon Green’s SUSPIRIA comes word of a couple of veteran actresses and others also taking part in the remake.

Blanc/Biehn Productions’ THE FARM, the first of three “grindhouse films” on the company’s slate, is heading to the Cannes Film Festival for pre-sales, and now it has a director, plus a new look to its poster.
