First Bad Milo Footage Drops a DeuceIf you've always wanted to embrace your inner demon - and by "inner" we mean in your ass - then you better have your calendars marked for Bad Milo's August 29th On Demand debut and its October 4th theatrical release! Here's some new artwork for the sick flick from Magnet Releasing.

Synopsis
Magnet Releasing is handling North American distribution for the acclaimed comedy/horror film BAD MILO, directed by Jacob Vaughan, written by Vaughan and Benjamin Hayes, and starring Ken Marino and Gillian Jacobs. BAD MILO features notable puppetry by Frank Langley and Bob Mano.

Duncan’s (Ken Marino) life is a real pain in the ass. Tormented by his manipulative, crooked boss (Patrick Warburton); a nagging mother (Mary Kay Place); a deadbeat new age dad (Stephen Root); and a sweet, yet pressuring, wife (Gillian Jacobs), his mounting stress starts to trigger an insufferable gastrointestinal reaction. Out of ideas and at the end of his rope, Duncan seeks the help of a hypnotherapist (Peter Stormare), who helps him discover the root of his unusual stomach pain: a pintsized demon living in his intestine that, triggered by excessive anxiety, forces its way out and slaughters the people who have angered him. Out of fear that his intestinal gremlin may target its wrath on the wrong person, Duncan attempts to befriend it, naming it Milo and indulging it to keep its seemingly insatiable appetite at bay.

BAD MILO was produced by Adele Romanski with New Artists Alliance’s Gabriel Cowan and John Suits. Executive producers include Mark and Jay Duplass, John Norris, Kerry Johnson, Dallas Sonnier, Jack Heller, and Floren Shieh Productions’ Clay Floren and Aimee Shieh.

Denis O'Hare, American Horror Story: CovenWith incredible turns in "True Blood" and "American Horror Story" Season 1 (for which he received an Emmy nomination), it's a no-brainer that Denis O'Hare would be asked to return to "AHS" for Season 3, subtitled "Coven."

Showrunner Ryan Murphy broke the news on Twitter that O'Hare, who played poor doomed Larry Harvey during the series' first season but didn't appear in "AHS: Asylum," joins perennial returnee Evan Peters as the only male actors announced thus far for "AHS: Coven." They're going to need each other when they face all the formidable women who have already signed on: Frances Conroy, Taissa Farmiga, Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson, Gabourey Sidibe, Angela Bassett, Emma Roberts, and Patti Lupone.

TIFF 2013: Vanguard Programme Home To Lots of New Horrors - Horns, The Sacrament, and More!

$

TIFF 2013: A Trailer Arrives That's Almost HumanHot on the heels of TIFF 2013's Midnight Madness movie announcement comes word of the flicks playing as part of their Vanguard programme. Read on for details.

From the Press Release
The Vanguard programme takes audiences on a sensory rollercoaster ride with boundary-pushing international works that are bold and bodacious. Curated by international programmer Colin Geddes, this lineup brings the best in genre and arthouse together for a cinematic odyssey that eludes conventional definition.

“From revenge and ruin to sex, drugs and taxation, this programme challenges audiences to go places that no audience has gone before,” said Geddes. “Where Midnight Madness opens up audiences to a world of fear and fantasy, Vanguard plunges them into a confrontational and unnerving one that sometimes comes a bit too close to reality for comfort.”

The Vanguard roster features a provocative partnership between Ti West (The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers) and Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever), the darkly comic and esoteric Jeremy Saulnier (Murder Party), the ironic social commentary of Alex van Warmerdam (The Last Days of Emma Blank, Ober), the daring French duo of Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani (Amer), and horror master Alexandre Aja (Haute Tension, Piranha 3D, The Hills Have Eyes).

Blue Ruin
Jeremy Saulnier, USA North American Premiere
A classic American revenge story, Blue Ruin follows a mysterious outsider whose quiet life is turned upside down when he returns to his childhood home to carry out an act of vengeance. Finding himself in a brutal fight to protect his estranged family, he proves to be an amateur assassin. Starring Macon Blair.

Blue Ruin

Borgman
Alex van Warmerdam, The Netherlands/Belgium/Denmark North American Premiere
Borgman is the central character in Alex van Warmerdam’s dark, malevolent fable. Is he a dream or a demon, a twisted allegory or an all-too-real embodiment of our fears? Borgman is a sinister arrival in the sealed-off streets of modern suburbia. His presence unleashes a crowing gallery of distortion around the careful façade constructed by an arrogant, comfortable couple, their three children and nanny. Starring Jan Bijoet, Jeroen Perceval and Hadewych Minis.

Borgman

Horns
Alexandre Aja, USA World Premiere
Horns, a supernatural thriller driven by dark comedy, mystery and romance follows Ignatius Perrish as he awakens after a hard night of drinking to find he has grown a pair of horns. In addition to his devilish appearance, the horns cause people to fall into a trance and voice their most unspeakable thoughts, an effective tool in Ig’s quest to discover the truth of his girlfriend’s murder. Starring Juno Temple and Daniel Radcliffe.

Horns

Proxy
Zack Parker, USA World Premiere
While walking home from her latest OB appointment, a very pregnant Esther Woodhouse is brutally attacked and disfigured by a hooded assailant. This horrible event seems to be a blessing in disguise when Esther finds consolation in a support group. Her life of sadness and solitude is opened up to friendship, understanding, and even acceptance. However, friendship and understanding can be very dangerous things when accepted by the wrong people.

Proxy

The Sacrament
Ti West, USA North American Premiere
From acclaimed writer/director Ti West (The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers) and horror master Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever, The Last Exorcism), The Sacrament follows two Vice media correspondents as they set out to document their friend’s search to find his missing sister. They travel outside of the United States to an undisclosed location where they are welcomed into the world of “Eden Parish,” a self-sustained rural utopia comprised of nearly 200 members. At the centre of this small, religious, socialist community is a mysterious leader known only as “Father.” As their friend reunites with his sister, it becomes apparent to the newcomers that this paradise may not be as it seems. What started as just another documentary shoot soon becomes a race to escape with their lives. Starring Joe Swanberg, AJ Bowen, Kentucker Audley, Amy Seimetz and Gene Jones.

The Sacrament

The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears
Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani, Belgium/France/Luxembourg North American Premiere
A woman vanishes. Her husband inquires into the strange circumstances of her disappearance. Did she leave him? Is she dead? As he continues his search, he plunges into a world of nightmare and violence… Starring Klaus Tange, Jean-Michel Vovk, Sylvia Camarda, Sam Louwyck and Anna D’Annunzio.

The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears

The Blood List 2013 Looking for New Sacrifices

Kailey Marsh; The Blood List 2013 Looking for New SacrificesCreated by Kailey Marsh, The Blood List has quickly become to go-to source for the film industry to find new filmmakers who have their fingers planted firmly on the pulse of what's going on within the horror genre today. It's that special time of year again. Do you have what it takes?

As Halloween is fast approaching, so is the release of The Blood List 2013. For those not in the know... the list is made up of the top 13 unproduced horror screenplays of the year. The list is created by literary manager and producer Kailey Marsh (pictured; Station 3). Once the goods are gathered up, over 100 executives are asked for their top three favorite dark genre scripts of the year, and then the list is compiled based on those votes.

But things are a little different and A LOT more accessible this year!

In an effort to widen the script and writer pool to lesser known screenwriters, Bloodlist.com is offering a service where you can have your script covered and rated. At the beginning of the voting cycle (September), the top 10 highest rated script loglines will be sent out to the voters, and they will have the option to read the screenplay for contention to make it on this year's list. It's a cool way to gain exposure for new writers and their work in the horror genre. Who doesn't need that, right?

The bottom line is you never know where the next John Carpenter or George A. Romero will be coming from. This is your chance to put your skills to the test, and it's far better to try than never know.

    Rest in Peace - Eileen BrennanThe film community has lost another valued one of its own as the lovely and Oscar-nominated actress Eileen Brennan has passed away at age 80 in Burbank, California, after a long battle with bladder cancer.

    Eileen's most celebrated role will always be that of Capt. Doreen Lewis in 1980's Goldie Hawn vehicle Private Benjamin, and of course who could possibly forget her portrayal of Mrs. Peacock in 1985's Clue? While those roles were rock solid, horror fans will always remember Ms. Brennan as the delightfully crazy cat lady in 2001's Jeepers Creepers as well as her standout role in HBO's "Tales From the Crypt" during the "Till Death Do We Part" episode in Season 5 as Ruth Sanderson.

    We here at Dread Central would like to take this time to offer our sincerest of condolences to Eileen's friends, family, and constituents. You'll always remain one of a kind, Ms. Brennan. You will be missed.

    Dimension Films to Unleash a New PestDimension Films has announced today plans to bring a new terror to life in conjunction with Jason Blum and Blumhouse Productions. Read on for your first details regarding the next face of terror known only as Pest. And no, we're not talking about a remake of that horrid John Leguizamo film.

    From the Press Release
    Dimension Films and IM Global announced today that Dimension has acquired U.S. distribution rights to the horror thriller PEST, directed by Mark Tonderai (HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET), from IM Global and Blumhouse Productions. Octane, the genre division of IM Global, a subsidiary of Indian conglomerate Reliance ADA, will fully finance the film which will be produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions (SINISTER, INSIDIOUS, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, THE PURGE) and Sherryl Clark of Busted Shark (CLOVERFIELD). Blumhouse International is overseeing foreign sales. BHI has a worldwide distribution and servicing deal with IM Global. IM Global CEO Stuart Ford, Charles Layton and Matt Kaplan are executive producers. PEST is based on Barbara Marshall’s original screenplay, which appeared on the Black List, the Blood List, and the Hit List in 2012. Discussions are underway for the lead roles with some top talent in consideration.

    In PEST, when a deadly virus invades their hometown, a teen documents her family's new life in quarantine and tries to protect her infected sister as society begins to crumble outside.

    “I was captivated by Marshall’s screenplay. There is a complicated family drama amidst a terrifying and tense story of an outbreak that is unleashed. I’m excited to be working with Jason Blum and Stuart Ford again to bring this terrifying thriller to audiences,” said Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company.

    Said IM Global CEO Stuart Ford, “We’re delighted to continue our long-standing and successful relationship with both Jason and Bob Weinstein. We couldn’t ask for two more savvy and prolific partners on a smart, elevated genre piece such as PEST.”

    Blum said: “We are excited to work with Bob, Stuart, Mark and the entire team on bringing Barbara’s terrifying world to life.”

    The deal was negotiated for Dimension Films by David Glasser, COO, The Weinstein Company and Michal Steinberg, EVP Business/Legal Affairs and Acquisitions; on behalf of the film by IM Global’s Ford, SVP of Business Affairs Florence Larsonneur and Jason Blum.

    During the network's presentation for the Television Critics Association's Summer 2013 Press Tour, it was announced that Josh Hartnett and Eva Green are the first stars to sign on to the hotly-anticipated new psychosexual horror series.

    Hartnett will play the role of "Ethan Chandler," a charming American who finds himself trapped in the darkest corners of Victorian London, while Green will play "Vanessa Ives," a seductive and formidable beauty full of secrets and danger.

    "Penny Dreadful" is created, written, and executive produced by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator) and executive produced by Oscar winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) and Neal Street's Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road, Call the Midwife). Bayona is an acclaimed and award-winning director, best known for his work on the hugely successful 2007 horror film The Orphanage and the 2012 Oscar contender The Impossible.

    "Penny Dreadful" will begin filming in October and premiere on Showtime in 2014. Look for lots more soon!

    Synopsis:
    In "Penny Dreadful" some of literature’s most famously terrifying characters – including Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, Dorian Gray, and iconic figures from the novel Dracula – become embroiled in Victorian London. The series weaves together these classic horror origin stories as the characters grapple with their monstrous alienation.

    Sinister Director Scott Derrickson Goes PostmortalWe've been waiting patiently to see what's on the horizon for Sinister and The Exorcism of Emily Rose director Scott Derrickson. With his new flick Beware the Night now filming, the answer has come. Read on for details, and get excited, kids! This could be awesome!

    According to author Drew Magary himself on Twitter, Derrickson has scored the film rights to Magary’s The Postmortal, which is also known as The End Specialist in the UK.

    The book is described as a gripping, compulsive thriller set in a future where the cure for aging has been discovered with devastating consequences.

    Book Synopsis
    "You got me. I don't want to die. I'm terrified of death. I fear there's nothing beyond it and that this existence is the only one I'll ever possess. That's why I'm here." (An excerpt from the digital journal of John Farrell, cure age 29, 2019.)

    Humanity has witnessed its greatest scientific breakthrough yet: the cure for aging. Three injections and you're immortal -- not bulletproof or disease-proof, but you'll never have to fear death by old age. For John Farrell, documenting the cataclysmic shifts to life after the cure becomes an obsession. Cure parties, cycle marriages, immortal livestock: the world is reveling in the miracles of eternal youth. But immortality has a sinister side, and when a pro-death terrorist explosion kills his newly-cured best friend, John soon realizes that even in a world without natural death, there is always something to fear. Now, John must make a new choice: run and hide forever, or stay and fight those who try to make immortal life a living hell. The e-book edition contains exclusive extra content - for those who want to find out even more consequences of the cure for aging.
