Boy Finds Mummified Body in Spooky Old House

Boy Finds Mummified Body in Spooky Old HouseSure, it has all the components of a good horror movie firmly in place, but this story actually happened in Dayton, Ohio. An adventurous young lad decided to enter into an old thought-to-be-abandoned house in his neighborhood to do a little exploring and found more than he bargained for.

As per CNN, neighbors thought the house was abandoned, and it looked that way. The front door was papered with citations for the overgrown yard, and no one came and went from the address. The home was unfurnished.

Inside, however, was the body of Edward Brunton, who hanged himself with a belt in a closet in 2009. Brunton was in his late 40s at the time of his suicide.

The closet shielded his body from rapid decomposition, animals, and insects, resulting in the mummy-like condition the boy found it in. The child in question at first thought that he had found a dummy or a mannequin. Little did he know he had made a far more ghastly discovery.

The boy's mother, Michelle McGrath, went into the house to investigate. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until she entered the room that housed the closet. "When I crossed the threshold of the room, is when I smelled it," she said. She called the police.

Authorities found identification documents on Brunton's body. His estranged brother, who still recognized him, confirmed it was him.

The Scream Factory Serves Up Motel Hell Blu-ray Details

The Scream Factory Serves Up Motel Hell Blu-ray DetailsOriginally announced on Dread Central Live, we now have the official details and more for The Scream Factory's upcoming Blu-ray release of the Eighties classic, Motel Hell. Read on for details.

From the Press Release
People come from far and wide to sample Farmer Vincent's distinctively flavored dried, smoked sausages, but one might well ask why there are so few people staying at the nearby kitschy Motel Hello. Also, have you ever wondered about the secret ingredients that make his meats taste so darn good? The ‘80s cult classic horror-comedy film MOTEL HELL, directed by Kevin Connor (At The Earth's Core, The House Where Evil Dwells) takes on a frighteningly funny look into the different kinds of critters that make up Farmer Vincent's fritters with plenty of surprises. On August 12, 2014, Shout! Factory is bringing MOTEL HELL Collector’s Edition Blu-ray+ DVD combo pack to home entertainment shelves in the U.S and Canada. Packed with insightful bonus content and all-new interviews, this definitive collector’s edition also contains a collectible cover, featuring newly rendered retro-style artwork, a reversible cover wrap with original theatrical key art. A must-have for collectors and horror enthusiasts, MOTEL HELL Collector’s Edition Blu-ray+DVD combo packed is priced to own at $29.93 SRP.

Avid fans and collectors please take note: those who order MOTEL HELL Collector’s Edition from ScreamfactoryDVD.com will receive the exclusive 18”x24” poster featuring the newly commissioned artwork! These are only available while supplies last.

A film by Kevin Connor, this crazy chiller stars Rory Calhoun (Angel), Paul Linke (CHiPS), Nancy Parsons (Porky's), Nina Axelrod (Cobra), and legendary DJ Wolfman Jack. While many of its contemporaries were literally trying to scare the wits out of people, MOTEL HELL balanced horror with humor, making audiences cringe and laugh at its lurid tale. A modest success upon its theatrical release, video rentals and cable showings have kept it alive and solidified its slasher status. Its creepy chainsaw battle still excites today.

Farmer Vincent Smith (Rory Calhoun) and his sister Ida (Nancy Parsons) run the respectable Motel Hello where they also produce and sell popular meat products. But the wonderful flavor that makes up Vincent's locally legendary smoked meats has a special ingredient. Their secret garden is filled with "animals" that they ambush, capture, and raise buried in the earth. But when the seemingly kindly couple, who gleefully dispatch their victims with aplomb, take in and care for a young woman (Nina Axelrod) who survived a motorcycle accident, she creates a rivalry between Vincent and his unsuspecting, slow-witted sheriff brother (Paul Linke) for her affection. Will the sibling squabble unravel Vincent and Ida's undercover enterprise?

For more in the meantime visit the official Scream Factory website and "like"Scream Factory on Facebook.

  • NEW It Takes All Kinds: The Making of MOTEL HELL featuring interviews with director Kevin Connor, producers/writers Robert Jaffe and Steven Charles Jaffe and actor Marc Silver

    Stills Give Us First Look at Calvaire Director's Alleluia

    Stills Give Us First Look at Calvaire Director's AlleluiaIt was just about four years ago that we first told you about Alleluia, the latest film from the man behind the French horror flicks Calvaire and Vinyan. At long last, some stills have finally surfaced, leading us to believe that it won't be long before this one enters our lives. Check 'em out!

    Head over to the official Alleluia website to learn more.

    Written by Fabrice du Welz and Vincent Tavier, the film stars Laurent Lucas, Lola Dueñas, Héléna Noguerra, David Murgia, Stéphane Bissot, Renaud Rutten, and Philippe Résimont.

    Synopsis
    Manipulated by a loving and jealous husband, Gloria has run away with her daughter and started a new life far away from men and from the rest of the world. Impelled by her friend, Madeleine, she agrees to meet Michel through a dating site. The first time they see each other, there is a spark. Michel, the small-time crook (profession: gigolo), is thrilled; and Gloria falls deeply in love.

    Out of fear Michel runs away, but Gloria comes to find him and makes him promise never to leave her again. She is ready to do anything to salvage this love. She abandons her daughter and pretends to be Michel’s sister so that he can continue his “widow” scams.

    But jealousy drives Gloria crazy, and she eventually kills Marguerite, one of the widows. Michel is in shock, but the two lovers remain tied to each other by some powerful link. They will keep going on their sordid path. Beyond the morbid pact that unites them, Michel finds in Gloria a sort of mother figure he has always been deprived of; for Gloria, Michel is the incarnation of absolute love in a life she thought was over.

    Alleluia is the free adaptation of a news item that shook the United States from 1947 to 1949: the story of Martha Beck and Raymond Fernandez, or how a young nurse and a swindling small-time gigolo will fall into a deadly tragedy.

    Robert Englund Playing Freddy Krueger One Last Time at this Summer's Flashback Weekend

    Robert Englund Playing Freddy Krueger One Last Time at this Summer's Flashback WeekendWe never thought we'd see the day where we'd get to report on Robert Englund slapping on the burnt makeup and reprising the role of Freddy Krueger, and though this exciting announcement unfortunately has nothing to do with a movie...

    ... it's nevertheless one of the downright coolest pieces of news we've ever had the pleasure of sharing.

    In celebration of A Nightmare on Elm Street's 30th anniversary, Chicago's Flashback Weekend convention has just announced that Englund will be appearing at this coming August's event in full Freddy Krueger makeup and outfit, for one night only. Best of all, a special ticket package will nab you a picture with Englund, as Freddy, which is something that has NEVER before been offered up to us fans.

    The event takes place from August 8th-10th at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, with Englund appearing as Freddy on Friday, August 8th, ONLY. In addition to the meet and greet session, he'll also take to the stage in full costume as part of a live talk show event.

    Utilizing the same extensive process used on the Elm Street film sets, the makeup will be applied by FX legend Robert Kurtzman, who worked on both Dream Child and New Nightmare. This will mark the first time Englund has ever appeared as Freddy on the convention circuit, and it's likely the last time he will ever don the iconic makeup.

    Head over to the Flashback Weekend website to learn more and purchase tickets. It's going to cost you $365 to meet Englund and attend the live stage show, which is quite frankly a small price to pay for such an incredible experience.

    Do you agree, or do you think the convention is charging a bit too much? Sound off below!

    Erotic Thriller Cannibal Gnaws into Theatrical and VOD ReleaseEver since NBC's "Hannibal" wrapped up its second season a few weeks back, we've been craving some sexy cannibal action, and so we're quite delighted to hear that the Spanish flick Cannibal has just been handed a release date. Read on for all the details about the day and date roll-out!

    From the Press Release
    Film Movement, the New York-based film distribution company, announces three new independent films premiering on digital platforms in July.

    CANNIBAL, LES APACHES, and I AM YOURS are the latest critically-acclaimed, award-winning independent films to be made available to audiences nationwide.

    Erotic thriller CANNIBAL is the chilling, poetic tale of a man who has long been compelled to kill as he slowly awakens to the possibility of human connection and love. Winner of the Goya Award for Best Cinematography, CANNIBAL opens in select theaters nationally on July 25th and will be released day and date on cable and digital premium VOD on July 25th as well. Starring Antonio de la Torre (Pedro Almodóvar’s I’m So Excited), The New York Times calls CANNIBAL, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, “sumptuous!”

    In addition to major cable VOD providers (Comcast, TimeWarner, Verizon, etc.), CANNIBAL will be available for rent on platforms including iTunes, Amazon Instant, Google Play, Vudu, Xbox, Playstation, and Samsung the same day it hits select theaters nationwide.

    Synopsis
    Carlos is the most prestigious tailor in Granada, Spain. His life is a study in details, from the meticulous suits he creates for wealthy clients to the macabre murders he executes in the shadows. He performs these gruesome acts, including dining on the women he kills, without guilt or remorse. When Nina, a beautiful young immigrant from Romania, comes looking for her missing twin sister, she awakens in Carlos a kind of love he’d long since written off. As their relationship builds, based on secrets and deception, Nina’s pure innocence will become undeniable, even by Carlos, a man driven by a dark secret. Cannibal is, in the end, a demon’s love story.

    Cory Hardrict Next to Get Spectral for LegendaryMore casting news has hit the wire for the latest spooker from Legendary Pictures, Spectral, as THR is reporting that Cory Hardrict (American Sniper, Transcendence, Warm Bodies) has joined the ever-growing cast.

    He joins the previously announced James Badge Dale and Max Martini. The flick is being directed by Nic Matthieu.

    The premise of the project is centered on a modern-day, militaristic, and gritty approach to fighting the supernatural.

    The pitch, which sold for six figures, has been described as a darker and more serious take on a Ghostbusters-like story with a plot that revolves around a special ops group formed to bring down evil ghosts that have taken over Manhattan. Locations and details might change, however.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Has 36 Endings

    The Witcher III: Wild Hunt Has 36 EndingsThe most promising game of the upcoming year just got even more tantalizing. Today in an interview The Witcher 3 senior visual effects artist, Jose Teixeria, revealed that the game will have 36 different endings.

    Teixeria was quick to point out that he does not refer to them as endings but rather as "world states" as the game will continue after the main storyline quests are completed.

    He alludes to the variability of certain villages being destroyed and certain characters being either alive or dead, which will all affect the world state that the player experiences. This hints that the element of choice will feature very heavily in the The Witcher 3.

    The news is a sign that the developers at Cd Projekt Red are pushing the RPG to true next-gen levels. Where a lot of RPGs falter is in their low replayability. By providing a wealth of different conclusions to the game, players can be sure they will be coming back to this title time and time again, a feat that was just not possible on the previous generation of consoles.

    This news is coming on the tail of a very strong showing for the game at this year’s E3, as developers held an impressive demo during the Microsoft press conference. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be available February 27th on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

    Final Push to Fill The Morturary Collection with Terror

    Final Push to Fill The Morturary Collection With TerrorThere are plenty of Kickstarter success stories out there, and we hope that The Mortuary Collection ends up joining their ranks as it sounds completely badass! As of this writing the guys have 56 hours left to raise just $4,000! Read on to see if you wanna pitch in!

    Described as a stylized live-action horror anthology film that fuses the surreal storytelling of "The Twilight Zone" with the goopy aesthetics of "Tales from the Crypt,"The Mortuary Collection will be comprised of four twisted tales of madness and the macabre in a sleepy New England town, spun by an eccentric mortician.

    On the run from the police, a misguided young girl takes refuge in a decrepit old mortuary. There she meets Montgomery Dark, an eccentric undertaker with more than a few skeletons in his closet. Montgomery chronicles the strange history of the town through a series of twisted tales, each more terrifying than the last. But the young girl's world is unhinged when she discovers that the final story... is her own.

    The Mortuary Collection taps into four distinct horror sub-genres, making it a virtual potpourri of horror favorites. There's a Monster Movie, a Slasher Film, a Ghost Story, and a Psychological Tale of Madness, all intertwined in a sleepy New England town. Whether it’s a haunting tale of revenge from beyond the grave or a ghastly abomination of science and technology, one fact remains… Every corpse has a story.

    Filmmaker Ryan Spindell needs $50,000 to bring the ambitious film to life, and he's almost there. Head over to The Mortuary Collection's Kickstarter campaign to pitch in and help out, where all kinds of fun incentives await.

    Also be sure to check out the pitch video below, which gives you an idea of the film's retro aesthetic, as well as his anthology doc We Come in Pieces: The Rebirth of the Horror Anthology Film!

    Paramount Moves Paranormal Activity 5 to 2016; Confirms Hansel and Gretel 2

    Paramount Moves Paranormal Activity 5 to 2016?; Confirms Hansel and Gretel 2An interesting bit of news regarding Paramount has come our way via The Hollywood Reporter. In an article regarding the studio's presence at CineEurope, it was divulged that Paranormal Activity 5 has been moved to 2016.

    The studio also confirmed a sequel to Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters for the same year. The news comes directly from Paramount Pictures International SVP, EMEA Edward Ryan, who dropped the news on CineEurope attendees after a screening of Transformers: Age of Extinction.

    This is a BIG delay to say the least for Paranormal Activity fans, but the extra time could be just what the franchise needs to get it right this time after the misfire of Paranormal Activity 4 and the poor showing of the actually good Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones. Gregory Plotkin is going to make his directorial debut on Paranormal Activity 5 from a script by Jason Pagan and Andrew Stark (Almanac). He has a long list of credits as an editor or assistant editor on films that include Pleasantville, The Insider, and The Break-Up. He has become more and more involved in the Paranormal Activity found-footage franchises, and now he gets his shot behind the camera.

    Both Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton are presumably attached to return as Hansel & Gretel, two bounty hunters who track and kill witches all over the world. As the fabled Blood Moon approaches, the siblings encounter a new form of evil that might hold a secret to their past.

    Stay tuned for more on both of these, including confirmation of the Paranormal Activity 5 date switch, soon!

    Almost Human Release Details
    Aliens, sex, alien sex, and other gruesome goings-on are the can't-miss ingredients for chilling fun in the truly out-there shocker ALMOST HUMAN.

    The IFC Films theatrical release arrived on fully packed Blu-ray/DVD from IFC Midnight/MPI Media Group on June 17 with SRPs, respectively, of $29.98 and $24.98.

    Two years ago, Mark Fisher (Josh Ethier; Contracted, Scavengers) disappeared from his home in rural Maine in a brilliant flash of otherworldly blue light. His friend Seth Hampton (Graham Skipper; Dementia) was the last to see him alive. Now, Seth is having disturbing premonitions that Mark has returned as something other than human. When grisly, violent murders start taking place in the community, Seth and his girlfriend, Jen Craven (Vanessa Leigh; The Last Halloween), discover that Mark is indeed back, and there is something terribly evil inside of him.

    Debuting director Joe Begos' unbearably tense ALMOST HUMAN is a chilling, frenetic, and brutal story of survival in the face of unknown terror. The release comes packed with special features on Blu-ray and DVD, including commentaries, a full-length making-of feature, a look behind the scenes, and theatrical trailer.

It has been celebrating the genre for over a decade, and the festival has grown significantly since its 2001 debut. Executives from major film companies and distributors in Los Angeles regularly attend the festival looking for acquisitions.

    Screamfest draws the best and the brightest in the ever-growing horror genre market,” says Rachel Belofsky, Founder, Screamfest. “We’re so excited to screen this year’s submissions and are looking forward to discovering the next big hit in horror.”

    The festival’s biggest success story is the discovery of Paranormal Activity. It premiered at Screamfest, was subsequently acquired by Paramount, and has since gone on to five sequels.

    Other notable horror premieres include Marcus Dustan and Patrick Melton’s The Collection, Michael Dougherty’s Trick 'r Treat, 30 Days of Night, David Arquette’s The Tripper, and The Human Centipede, which was later spoofed on "South Park."

    American Mary, directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska, swept the awards in 2012 and received distribution from the festival screening. The filmmakers have gone on to direct See No Evil 2 for WWE Films and Lionsgate. The majority of films screened at Screamfest garner distribution, including last year’s opening film, Beneath, which was acquired by IFC Midnight.

    Notable foreign films that have premiered at Screamfest and were later made into studio remakes include Ju-on (The Grudge), A Tale of Two Sisters, Let the Right One In, and En Osynlige (The Invisible).

    Filmmakers can submit their films by going to the Screamfest website. For more info "like"Screamfest on Facebook, and follow Screamfest on Twitter.

    The festival runs in Los Angeles from October 14-23, 2014 – just in time for Halloween!

    More Footage Found in Come Back to MeAttention, filmmakers... please stop finding footage. Too much has been found already. No one should be looking for more. The ship has sailed. Still... sometimes a gem can sneak through. Is Come Back to Me such a gem? It definitely uses said footage in a unique way. Watch the trailer and decide!

    Directed by Paul Leyden, Come Back to Me stars Matt Passmore, Katie Walder, Nathan Keyes, and Laura Gordon.

    The film revolves around a young woman (Walder) who suffers memory lapses and blackouts after a car accident.

    She then learns she is pregnant, but her husband (Passmore) is infertile, which leads her to set up a security camera in their bedroom. The trailer seemingly reveals what their creepy neighbor (Keyes) is doing to her in the night: “Killing and bringing you back - it’s how he connects.

    It’s a twist suggested by the title of the novel The Resurrectionist, from which the film was adapted by Leyden. Come Back to Me is the feature writing and directing debut for Leyden, whose acting credits include "As the World Turns" and "The Young and the Restless."

    It was executive produced by Sergin Akyaz and produced by Anne Clements. Freestyle Releasing and Freestyle Digital Media are handling distribution.

    Come Back to Me will be released in limited theaters and on all digital platforms on July 25.
