The official trailer for 13 Eerie has made its way online, and we have every second of it right here waiting for you to ingest with your eyes. Wow. That sounded kind of nasty, no? Read on!

Directed by Lowell Dean, the film stars Brendan Fehr, Katharine Isabelle, Brendan Fletcher, and Nick Moran.

Synopsis
Six ambitious forensic undergrads are pitted against one another on a scientific expedition to a remote island, vying to win an esteemed trainee position with the FBI. Unbeknownst to them, the site was formerly used as an illegal biological testing ground for life-term criminals who were then left for dead. The arrival of the students disturbs the resting place, unleashing a pack of zombie criminal convicts who systematically hunt them down, one by one.

He's given us a Nightmare. He's subjected us to a Social Media Massacre. And he's taught us that Love Is Not Enough. Indie director Ron Purtee has crept into our psyche with his low-budget, high-tension films.

Now he's at it again with a new web series entitled The Sole Survivor and this time Ron is in front of the camera!

The Sole Survivor launches its pilot episode on March 15 and Purtee could not be more excited about it. "I really wanted to get in front of the camera for once. It's very rare that I'm given a chance like that and I decided that I should take it now," Purtee said. "The vlog style really lends to me being able to direct and act at the same time."

Take a look at the trailer below and head over to the Facebook page for The Sole Survivor and give them a like! You can also follow Purtee at the official Ron Purtee website and on Twitter (@ronpurtee).

From the Press Release
The Sole Survivor is a huge step for filmmaker Ron Purtee. Not only is he writing and directing, but he is also starring in the new web series, The Sole Survivor.

The film is the story of John, a man who is uploading videos of his life on the road during the search for other survivors after a global pandemic has ravaged the population. All the while avoiding "cleaner squads" whose job is to eradicate the virus by any means. The series will be shot in some what of a vlog style, with Purtee as the star.

Fresh off the success of The Divide, genre superstar Michael Biehn keeps the promotional train moving as he heads to Phoenix to appear at the International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival where his film, The Victim will be screening.

Biehn and his wife/co-star Jennifer Blanc will be in attendance to host the screening.

We've been talking about the indie flick The Fields for years now. Literally years. There's no doubt the road has been long, but the flick is finally hitting home video and we've got the details.

From the Press Release
Academy Award winner Cloris Leachman’s (Fox’s “Raising Hope”) thriller The Fields is coming to Blu-ray (SRP $29.99) and DVD (SRP $24.99) from Breaking Glass Pictures (5 Star Day, Cropsey, The Living Wake). Written by Harrison Smith (Six Degrees of Hell) and directed by Tom Mattera and David Mazzoni (cult favorite The 4th Dimension), the film also stars Tara Reid (American Reunion) and newcomer Joshua Ormond (Sundance hit Robot and Frank).

Based on actual events, The Fields follows a young boy named Steven during the summer of 1973. Steven (Ormond) is sent to live in the Pennsylvania countryside with his grandparents while his mother (Reid) and father (Faust Checho) work through their marital troubles. Though his grandmother (Leachman) and grandfather (Bev Appleton) are happy to host him, they warn Steven not to enter the cornfields next to their house.

Meanwhile, Steven hears news of the notorious Manson Family and their gruesome killing spree. He develops a morbid fascination with the murderous cult, and at the same time he can't help but be drawn into the mysterious cornfields. Eventually he enters the fields, where he makes a terrible discovery. Then, menacing noises begin haunting the family from outside at night and soon turn to violence. Though Steven's family tries to protect him, whatever's lurking in the fields is about to make their lives a living nightmare.

The Fields enjoyed critical acclaim and audience approval on the festival circuit. Among its awards are: Erie Film Festival (Winner Best Directors, Best Actress for Leachman), Terror Film Festival (Best Feature, Best Actress for Leachman, Best Emerging Actor for Ormond), Philadelphia Terror Film Festival (Best Picture, Sound Design, Score, Emerging Actor for Ormond), and the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival (Best Picture).

Film Threat gave The Fields four stars and called it “American Gothic suspense at its subtle best.” The Blunt Film Review called it “brilliant,” promising “this film is gonna scare the b’jesus out of you,” and The Independent Critic hailed it as “a heady and complex thriller.”

The DVD and Blu-ray will hit shelves on April 24, loaded with special features including a making-of documentary, behind-the-scenes footage, hilarious Leachman outtakes, interviews with the real people involved, and clips from the world premiere.

For more check out the official The Fields website and official The Fields Facebook page.

It's been a while since last we spoke about the new film from director Adam Mason (The Devil's Chair, Luster, Pig), but brothers and sisters, we have just hit the mother lode. Go ahead... read on and get your fix!

Long-time Mason collaborator Andrew Howard, Caroline Guivarch, Robert LaSardo, and Daniel Louis Rivas all star in this tale of addicts doing extremely horrific things. Look for more soon if you have the stomach for it.

Synopsis
Junkie is a black comedy about two drug-addled brothers, Danny (Daniel Louis Rivas) and Nicky (Robert LaSardo). When Danny wakes up one morning and decides he's going clean, Nicky's not taking it lying down and drives Danny from one insane experience to another as a whole host of bizarre, surreal characters descend on their sprawling, dilapidated mansion, all with grievances to bear, debts to reclaim, or trouble to cause.

As Danny's life spirals out of control, he must fight tooth and nail to kick the habit and rescue himself from the personal hell Nicky has consigned him to, whilst simultaneously attempting to repair the deeply damaged relationships with his increasingly bizarre friends and family.

Those of you who haven't seen the short film from F/X maven Aaron Sims called Archetype have been missing out big time. That's okay, though, because a feature film version is in the works!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chronicle producer John Davis is going back to the world of robots. The producer, who has a first-look deal at Fox and who produced 2004’s I, Robot, has picked up the rights to Archetype, a sci-fi short directed by Aaron Sims, with plans of developing it into a feature. David dipped into his discretionary fund in order to make the acquisition.

Sims runs the Aaron Sims Co., a firm that specializes in previs and visual effects with credits including War Horse, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and The Thing remake. He acted as a concept artist and did creature design work for Stan Winston Studio, working on A.I. and War of the Worlds, among other movies. He began his career with Rick Baker, working in special effects and make-up on movies such as Gremlins 2, Batman Forever and Mighty Joe Young.

The Archetype short tells the story of an eight-foot tall combat robot named RL7 that malfunctions during a mission, developing unexplained memories, causing its creators to investigate its odd behavior.

The short ends with concept paintings detailing the robot on the run while being chased by various metallic constructs.

Sims is attached to make his feature directorial debut on the feature. Newcomers Guy Busick and Ryan Murphy (not the one of "Glee" fame) are attached to pen the script.

Check out the original short below.

At age 21 actor/director Joe Raffa is already making quite a name for himself on the independent filmmaking scene. His first directorial effort (which he also wrote and co-starred in) - You'll Know My Name - has already been nabbed for distribution after a successful festival run in 2011.

He's currently in post-production on his follow-up project called Six Degrees of Hell, a supernatural thriller starring Corey Feldman, Nikki Bell, Jill Whelan, Brian Anthony Wilson and Raffa as well; and Dread Central recently caught up with the up-and-coming filmmaker to discuss his experiences making both You'll Know My Name and Six Degrees of Hell, why he won't ever star in a film he directs again and why the dark side of storytelling is so compelling to him.

Dread Central: So tell us a bit more about what got you into filmmaking and more about the risky avenue you took in order to get your first film off the ground. Clearly the risk has paid off.

Joe Raffa: It was absolutely worth the risk! Yeah, I grew up loving movies and always knew I was going to make them someday so I went to Temple University for one semester to study film because it had always been a passion of mine. I started to realize, though, I wasn't really learning anything inside the classroom so I dropped out and took that money and invested it in my first film. The reality is that when it comes to filmmaking, you learn so much more by actually doing it rather than just studying up on theory so I just decided to go for it. I'm not saying I'm completely against college- it's just that if and when I do go back, it'll be for something like history or law where studying theory pays off.

After that I spent a lot of time on a lot of indie sets in Philly so I made a lot of connections that way with the independent filming community there. I really learned a lot by doing that, too- where you should and shouldn't put your budget's money, a lot of different management skills and using your resources wisely.

For You'll Know My Name I did use all of my savings, and then for the rest of the budget I raised money any way I could and reached out to everyone I knew for help. Thankfully, it all came together, and the fact that we got distribution for it is pretty incredible- I'm very lucky.

DC: Since you also wrote the film, where did the idea for You'll Know My Name come from? It definitely doesn't seem like your typical teen drama.

Raffa: I love character-driven drama, and I wanted to essentially make High Noon set in the Jersey suburbs with a bit of an Outsiders feel; you know, this whole idea of teen angst and wasting youth where we're not seeing the usual kind of teens. These weren't going to be bubble gum characters- I wanted to explore a world where you're at the age where you think the whole world is ahead of you, but really these teens were trapped in this claustrophobic world without a future.

DC: How did you get involved with Six Degrees of Hell since I know this wasn't a project you had written?

Raffa: Bruce (producer and creator H. Bruce Smith) actually wrote Six Degrees of Hell and sent it to me to consider for directing. I really liked the story because it has this great classic feel to it that was just fun- and that's the kind of horror I enjoy as a fan. We wanted to make a horror film that was fun, something you can take your date to see, and at the same time we wanted to make sure it was emotionally involving and it makes you think on several levels, too. One of our biggest inspirations to the feel of Six Degrees was the original Fright Night; it's got that lighthearted tone that also has some humor to it as well.

DC: Was it nice having Bruce to collaborate with for your feature film follow-up; did working together with him alleviate some pressure for you while making Six Degrees of Hell since he was also a producer?

Raffa: Every decision made on You'll Know My Name was one hundred percent on me so it was nice on Six Degrees of Hell to have Bruce behind me and working alongside me, making it easier to do my job as a director. We were able to bounce ideas off of each other, and I had a lot of fun working with him.

DC: Tell us more about where you shot Six Degrees of Hell and working with your cast.

Raffa: We shot in Kunkletown, Pennsylvania, near the Pocono Mountains. The main location for Six Degrees, though, was the Hotel of Horror, which used to be a real hotel in the early 1900's. I guess people started committing suicide and they had to shut the building down. It eventually became a haunted hotel attraction after some time, and it's a pretty amazing place to shoot. It really added a whole different level of atmosphere- it was creepy and perfect.

Our cast for Six Degrees of Hell is pretty amazing- I had a great time working with all of them and alongside them as well. I grew up a fan of The Goonies and The Lost Boys so being able to have Corey involved in our project was so cool. Brian Anthony Wilson is awesome in this, too- he's like the Steve McQueen of Philly actors; he's been in everything (Limitless, "The Wire," Bad Boys II), and I was lucky to have Jill (Whelan) involved because we've done a few acting classes together so I just asked her to come on board, and thankfully she said yes.

DC: What's up next for you? Any plans to get back behind and/or in front of the camera again soon?

Raffa: You know, I don't think I'll ever star in a movie I'm directing ever again (laughs). Honestly, it's not that difficult, but you also want to be careful when you're directing that you're not wearing too many other hats as well, which could cause the movie to suffer if you can't always be focused on directing. I've been pretty lucky so far because I've been able to balance it, but you can't always get lucky and staying focused as a director is key.

But I do actually have two stories I'm working on now; one is a lighthearted comedy and the other is another dark thriller. I'm not sure why exactly I love incredibly dark stories the way I do- maybe it's because that's the most fascinating side of human nature. But what does that say about me as a human being then? (laughs)

This week's issue of Entertainment Weekly has a big spread on The Hunger Games, including a half-dozen new photos from the film, one of which show characters we haven't seen yet; and we have them all for you right here!

The Hunger Games, directed by Gary Ross, stars Donald Sutherland, Woody Harrelson, Wes Bentley, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Liam Hemsworth, Paula Malcolmson, Willow Shields, Latarsha Rose, Lenny Kravitz, Brooke Bundy, Leven Rambin & Jack Quaid (#1), Alexander Ludwig & Isabelle Fuhrman (#2), Ian Nelson & Kalia Prescott (#3), Ethan Jamieson & Tara Macken (#4), Chris Mark & Jackie Emerson (#5), Ashton Moio & Kara Petersen (#6), Sam Ly & Leigha Hancock (#7), Samuel Tan & Mackenzie Lintz (#8), Imanol Yepez-Frias & Annie Thurman (#9), Jeremy Marinas & Dakota Hood (#10), Amandla Stenberg & Dayo Okeniyi (#11), and Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) & Josh Hutcherson (Peeta) (#12).

Synopsis:
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss (Lawrence) is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Lionsgate will release The Hunger Games on March 23, 2012. Theater owners are continuing to add new showtimes while fans are scooping up advance tickets on Fandango.com.

Check out the new TV spot below, and be sure to keep your eyes on the official The Hunger Games Facebook page and the official The Hunger Games Twitter feed for updates leading up to the film's release.

Anderson Cooper is an incredibly accomplished journalist. He's covered stories in Somalia, Bosnia, Rwanda and Sri Lanka and has won nine Emmy Awards, two for his work covering the destruction in Haiti. But his career may have peaked with the interview we have for you today.

On his daytime TV show entitled "Anderson," Cooper interviewed a Reverend Larsen and his three protégés, Brynn, Tess and Savannah, that look like they are right from the Miss Teen Georgia Beauty Pageant. And what was this group discussing in front of America? Public service? Charity work? Oh no, no, no. They're shopping a reality show because the three girls all claim to be highly experienced exorcists and they want to protect the world... on TV!

You've got to check out the video clip of these three and their mentor, Larsen, who manage to somehow keep a straight face as they tell war stories about "exorcisms" they've performed... especially Larsen, who's old enough to know better and claims to have led over 15,000 exorcisms (more than one a day, he tells Cooper; and you thought your schedule was packed). Be careful, Reverend; this is quite reminiscent of the beginning of The Last Exorcism... we're just saying. We've also included a clip of Larsen explaining how much an exorcism costs in case you're interested.

Take a look at this video, which proves so many cliches: Beauty is only skin deep, anything for money, there's one born every minute. The real winner in this whole thing, however, is Anderson Cooper, who has proven, through hard work and determination, that he is the obvious choice to inherit Maury Povich's paternity test show empire when MoPo is ready to hang up the gloves.

Feel the electricity in the air? It can only mean one thing! That's right! Here it is, kids! As promised, the first full trailer for Tim Burton's feature length version of his short film Frankenweenie has arrived along with a few more stills! Check it out!

The voice cast includes four actors who worked with Burton on previous films: Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands), Catherine O’Hara (Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas), Martin Short (Mars Attacks!), and Martin Landau (Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow), along with Charlie Tahan and Atticus Shaffer.

Look for the flick in theatres on October 5th, 2012.

Synopsis
A heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.

A stop-motion animated film, 'Frankenweenie' will be filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience.

In the tradition of Where's Waldo... What? Okay, I'll start again. Ahem... A new trailer for the next foreign fright flick The Hidden Face (or La Cara Oculta) has come our way, and we have it on display for you along with the one-sheet. Dig it!

The Colombian/Spanish horror flick was co-written with director Andrés Baiz by Hatem Khraiche and translated to English by Stewart St. John. Martina Garcia, Quim Gutierrez, and Clara Lago star.

The flick's storyline follows a Spanish orchestra conductor who deals with the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend. More on this one, including when we can expect some Stateside distribution, as it comes.

Stay tuned.
