A new behind-the-scenes featurette for Jerome Sable's slasher musical Stage Fright has hit this crazy thing we call the Interwebs, and we have every note of it right here for you to sing along with before screaming uncontrollably and then fleeing in terror!

Magnet will release the film in its Ultra VOD program, launching it on iTunes and On Demand TODAY, April 3rd, and following with a theatrical release on May 9th.

Minnie Driver, Meat Loaf, Allie MacDonald, Douglas Smith, Kent Nolan, Brandon Uranowitz, Ephraim Ellis, Melanie Leishman, James McGowan, Steffi DiDomenicantonio, Ryan Bobkin, Leanne Miller, and Adrianna Di Liello star.

Stage Fright tells the story of a posh musical theater camp terrorized by a killer who hates musicals. Driver plays Kylie Swanson, a haunted star of the Broadway stage and mother of two siblings who find themselves at the center of the unfolding horror at the camp. Meat Loaf plays Roger McCall, a slumming Broadway producer-turned-camp director.

Casting news for Dimension's brand new take on an enduring horror franchise, simply titled Amityville, has been coming at us hot and heavy in recent weeks, and today another actress has signed on to get haunted. Read on!

Per Bloody Disgusting, "The Young and the Restless" star McKenna Grace is the latest to knock on Amityville's door, being cast to play the youngest daughter of Jennifer Jason Leigh's character.

Leigh stars as lead character Joan, a single mother who moves her three kids into the Amityville house, which of course has a very dark history. Disney star Bella Throne is also on board, and last we heard, Cameron Monaghan was in final negotiations to join the fright flick.

Maniac remake director Franck Khalfoun will direct.

Dimension had planned on reigniting the popular horror franchise using a found-footage angle, but that idea has been dropped as the format appears to have fallen out of favor with discerning genre fans. Amityville remains scheduled for release on January 2, 2015.

Daniel Farrands and Casey La Scala co-wrote the script and are expected to produce with Jason Blum of hit factory Blumhouse.

After impressing with films like Stake Land and We Are What We Are, Jim Mickle unleashed Cold in July on audiences at Sundance this past January, which was scooped up for release by IFC Films. While we wait, check out a gallery of stills, which see Michael C. Hall ("Dexter") once again plunging into darkness!

Look for the film in limited theaters and VOD outlets on May 23rd.

Cold in July also stars Vinessa Shaw, Don Johnson, Sam Shepard and Nick Damici.

Synopsis
Despite the trappings — guns, stakeouts, an ex-con, a private eye, a porn ring, a shootout — this isn’t an ordinary suspense novel. It’s a lean, effective character study about a man who risks his comfortable life to pursue something half-glimpsed within his psyche. He feels guilty about his father’s suicide, he doubts his ability to raise his own son, and now he’s mixed up with another father, whose son has gone into a place of great darkness. A stirring tale in which actions have consequences, and no one is left unchanged by the things that they see and do.

It's been a few months since we've had anything to report about Rammbock director Marvin Kren's Blood Glacier (review), which hit UK DVD back in January. Now that it's at long last set for release here in the states, we've gotten our very own trailer, which shows clear inspirations from John Carpenters The Thing. Dig it!

Look for Blood Glacier in select theaters and on VOD platforms May 2nd.

Kren's new film stars Michael Fuith, Edita Malovcic, and Brigitte Kren.

Synopsis
Janek is a technician on a climate observation station high up in the Alps. He is a loner; the regularly changing scientists who share the rocky idyll with him are just tolerated by him. Making things more difficult is the approaching visit of the environment minister, which brings rivalries at the station to the boil.

So everyone involved is grateful when their barren routine is interrupted by a strange discovery. A red liquid pours from a nearby glacier, melted free from the ice crust shrinking with climate change. This “glacier blood” turns out to be a very special juice, with unimagined effects on the local animals.

Soon Janek has his hands full defending himself and the station against a growing horde of monstrosities: biological ones lurking outside, human ones inside. And as if all that wasn’t already dangerous enough, his heart also threatens to break: Among the minister’s entourage is Tanja, who is the only one who knows the reason for Janek’s self-chosen isolation…

The filmmaking duo of Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson follow up flicks like Night of the Demons and Fertile Ground with Fractured (formerly titled Schism), which is headed our way next week. What's that? You don't want to wait? Then check out the trailer, which teases the nightmarish brutality!

Look for Fractured in theaters and on VOD outlets April 11th, through Seven Arts Entertainment's genre label, Dark Arts.

The film stars Callum Blue, Vinnie Jones, Ashlynn Yennie and Nicole LaLiberte.

Synopsis
Fractured tells the story of Dylan White. After awaking from a coma with no idea who he is, Dylan creates a safe and and normal life for himself. It doesn’t last long as horrifying visions start to interrupt his waking moments. Following clues that take him to the dark and blood-splattered underbelly of New Orleans, Dylan meets his arch nemesis, Quincy (Vinnie Jones), and soon finds that both his life and soul are in danger. FRACTURED is a trip to the dark side, noir-style: bad men, bad dames, bad sex, and bad intentions.

So far we're having a lot of fun with "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series" and are wondering what you guys think. Let us know, but first check out this new promo provided by El Rey Network that focuses on Seth Gecko, who has it all planned out... or so he thinks.

“From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” centers on bank robber Seth Gecko (D.J. Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard “Richie” Gecko (Zane Holtz), who are on the run after a bank heist left several people dead.

While heading to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter a former pastor and his family, whom they take hostage. Using the family RV to cross the Border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is populated by vampires. They are forced to fight until dawn in order to get out alive. The series deepens the tone of the original film, adds new characters and backstories, and expands the Mesoamerican mythology behind the creatures inside the club.

Episode 1.05 - "Self-Contained" (airs 4/8/14)
Seth escapes the motel and leads the Fullers' RV to the Border. Meanwhile, Richie deals with an irrational fear; and Jacob (Robert Patrick) is determined to get his children safely across the Border. Directed by Joe Menendez and written by Matt Morgan and Ian Sobel.

I've been a fan of Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Masscare III since it was released, but a lot of you have washed you hands of it for some reason. Those of you in the Los Angeles area have a chance to reappraise it this weekend at the New Beverly Cinema.

Screening this Saturday, April 5, at 11:59 PM, Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III is part of Brian Collins' Horror Movie A Day / New Beverly Midnights ongoing series. If all you remember about this one is that it was, somewhat infamously, butchered by the MPAA, or if you're an anti-franchise snob who doesn't think a sequel can have merit, you should consider giving it another shot. It's really just a slicker, pseudo-remake of the original, but with all the 80s characteristics that make a movie fun: a fantastic cast, good one-liners, heavy metal and some inspired carnage.

The New Beverly Cinema is located at 7165 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA. Tickets are only $8 and can be purchased here.

Doors open at 11:59 PM.

To psych you up, check out this original artwork created by Jacopo Tenani.

Synopsis
Spain, the 1950s. Montse is no longer a young woman. She lost the blush of youth caring for her little sister, holed up in a sinister apartment in downtown Madrid.

Their mother died giving birth to the little one and their father couldn't handle it. He fled like a coward and left the girls alone. Forced to be father, mother and big sister, Montse hid away from life inside those four walls, feeding her obsessive and unbalanced temperament. She suffers from agoraphobia and cannot take a single step outside the house. Not understanding what is happening to her and the suffering that this strange disease causes her makes her take shelter within a world of Our Fathers and Holy Marys.

Montse works as a seamstress, and her only link to reality is her sister, a girl who will soon no longer be a girl. One day, the chain is broken when Carlos (HUGO SILVA), an irresponsible young neighbor, is misfortunate enough to stumble down the stairwell and looks for help at the only door he was able to drag himself to.

Montse takes him in.

Someone has entered the shrew's nest... Perhaps he'll never leave

Matty Beckerman’s extraterrestrial thriller Alien Abduction has landed on VOD and in limited theatrical release via IFC Midnight today, and you should do yourselves a favor by watching this one. It's as unsettling and spooky as they come. That being said... check out the new eye candy!

Written by Robert Lewis, Alien Abduction stars Katherine Sigismund, Corey Eid, Riley Polanski, Jillian Clare, Jeff Bowser, and Peter Holden.

A terrifying sci-fi story inspired by dramatic found footage, Alien Abduction preys on our fear of the unknown as we follow an average American family who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

While driving to a campsite in the Brown Mountains of North Carolina, the Morris family's GPS malfunctions, and they are lead to a remote tunnel surrounded by abandoned vehicles. The father, Peter Morris, is abducted, leaving his traumatized wife and children to flee and seek refuge in a nearby cabin. There they are horrified to learn that strange lights in the nearby mountains have been linked to alien abduction and human sacrifice for centuries.

When their attempts to alert the authorities are intercepted by the deadly extraterrestrial threat, the surviving members of the family find themselves under siege. A brutal and bloody attack unfolds as we witness the horrors through the lens of the youngest child's video camera.

Horror movies need not have inflated budgets to be effective, as films like Insidious and Sinister have recently proven. Following in their low-budget footsteps is a film called Valencia, which has just been given the green light. Read on!

The Wrap reports that J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot will be producing the thriller for Paramount Insurge, with commercial director Dan Trachtenberg attached to direct. Dan Casey wrote the script, based on an earlier draft by Josh Campbell and Matt Stuecken.

The majority of the movie takes place in an underground cellar, home to a teenage girl and a caretaker. The girl woke up in the cellar after a car accident, at which point her eerie companion tells her a nuclear attack has devastated society. The girl still hopes to escape.

The micro-budget effort will cost around $5 million to make, and it marks the feature film debut of Trachtenberg.

More as we learn it.

Mike Flanagan is a name we'd all better get used to hearing because he's quickly proving himself to be a force to be reckoned with on the scene. With Oculus set for release next Friday, his follow-up film has already been picked up for distribution, and you'll find all the details by reading on!

As per Deadline, Relativity has acquired U.S. distribution rights to Somnia, which Flanagan wrote with Oculus collaborator Jeff Howard. The company has committed to a wide release for the film in the near future.

Somnia revolves around an orphaned child whose dreams – and nightmares – manifest physically as he sleeps.

Kate Bosworth, Thomas Jane, Annabeth Gish, Jacob Tremblay, and Dash Mihok star.

The film is produced by Trevor Macy, Sam Englebardt, and William D. Johnson.

Last year we told you that you could buy the house in which the famed Amityville Horror haunting took place if you happened to have like $1.45 million laying around. After no one bit, the house then dropped to $1.35 million. Now it's going for a bargain bin price of...

JUST $955,000! Um... Zak Bagans... are you listening?!?!?

The 10-room, Colonial-style building was used for exteriors in the 1979 film.

The "real" Amityville house at 112 Ocean Avenue was made famous on November 13, 1974, after police discovered six members of the DeFeo family – father, mother, and four of their five children – all shot and killed execution style.

In December of 1975, George and Kathy Lutz and Kathy’s three children then moved into the large Dutch Colonial style house. After just 28 days the Lutzes left, claiming to have been terrorized by paranormal phenomena while living there. The Lutzes' reports of strange and horrific experiences was the basis of the book and film.

Opening today from Detroit-based Exxodus Pictures and Freestyle Releasing is Jinn, the supernatural thriller written and directed by Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad. The following video is labeled Clip 3. I could swear we've run at least 19 clips already and 75 trailers. In any event... here ya go!

The film was produced by Ahmad, Benjamin Dresser, and Alan Noel Vega and stars Dominic Rains (Flight 93), Serinda Swan (USA’s “Graceland”), Ray Park (Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace), Faran Tahir (Elysium), and William Atherton (Die Hard).

Richard Mandell, Najam Syed, and Shahid Syed executive produced the film for Exxodus.

The storyline of JINN involves ancient mythological beings that have rarely been explored in US cinemas. The premise of the jinn concept, known to over 1 billion people around the world, involves ghost-like entities and revolves around creation mythology.

Synopsis
In the beginning, three were created. Man made of clay. Angels made of light. And a third made of fire.
