To say we're happy to have The Loved Ones here in the States is a bit of an understatement. Believe the hype, kids. This one is firing on all pistons and more than delivers the goods. However, now it's time for us to deliver an image gallery!

Sign up at The Loved Ones website to book a screening and invite friends to see one of the most buzzed about horror films of the summer. Those who sign up will be given notice when they can begin to set their June screenings.

The Loved Ones, directed by Sean Byrne, stars Xavier Samuel, Jessica McNamee, Robin McLeavy, John Brumpton, and Victoria Thane.

Synopsis
Lola Stone asked Brent Mitchell to the prom, but Brent said no, and now he's screwed. What happens when Lola doesn't get what she wants? She enlists Daddy's help to throw a prom of her own, where she is queen and Brent is king — whether he likes it or not. THE LOVED ONES is what happens when puppy love goes horribly, violently wrong. Brent should have said yes.

More goodies are coming in from across the pond. A new trailer and the first ever stills for the Nicholas McCarthy spooker The Pact (review here) have arrived, and we have it all right here for you. Dig it!

Look for the flick in limited release on July 6th here in the States and on June 8th in the UK.

The Pact centers on a woman who returns home to attend her mother's funeral only to feel something strange and unsettling in the house she grew up in. Caity Lotz and Casper Van Dien star.

The project is based on a short film McCarthy screened at the 2011 Sundance fest.

Synopsis
After their mother passes away, sisters Nicole and Annie reluctantly return to their childhood home to pay their last respects. While staying overnight in the house, the sisters sense a mysterious presence in their midst: noises startling them in the night, objects moving about, a fallen picture of an unknown woman posed next to their mother. Annie begins experiencing a series of intense and disturbing dreams – visions that lead her to uncover something terrible about her mother’s past that is finally revealing itself.

It was in 2008 when we first heard about Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro's Beyond the Grave (Porto Dos Mortos), but things appear to be back on track for the Brazilian film as it's screening at the Chicago Latino Film Festival on April 21st and 26th.

Written and directed by Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro (who also produced with Isidoro B. Guggiana), Beyond the Grave follows the unstoppable hunt of a vengeful cop (Rafael Tombini) for a supernatural serial killer. In its film festival circuit the Brazilian fantasy feature gained international acclaim, being also selected for the Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano (Cuba), and won two awards: Best Horror Feature Award at the Arizona Underground Film Festival and Audience Choice Award for Best Latin American Feature at Montevideo Fantástico (Uruguay).

Shot in the city of Porto Alegre, south of Brazil, Beyond the Grave is an arthouse mixture of road movie, spaghetti western, and different horror sub-genres such as zombie and black magic. "I tried to bring in everything I had learned about cinema and humanity from the beginning of my conscious life till the moment of locking the final cut. I think we should be respectful of genre, of course, but a rigid tone is more important than a rigid genre. We’re in an age where amalgamations are common nature in art. Cinema shouldn’t be excluded," believes the filmmaker.

Beyond the Grave stars Rafael Tombini, Álvaro Rosacosta, Ricardo Seffner, Leandro Lefa, Luciana Verch, and Amanda Grimaldi.

Here are the film's screening dates at the Chicago Latino Film Festival:

Saturday, April 21, 2012, 9:15 pm
Thursday, April 26, 2012, 8:45 pm
Landmark Theatres - 2828 N. Clark St. - Phone: 773-509-4949

Synopsis:
In a devastated post-apocalyptic world where the rules of reality are transformed by magic and madness, a vengeful police officer searches for a possessed serial killer in a battle of the not-so-good versus absolute evil.

A few months ago we brought to your attention the short story collection Shadows: Supernatural Tales by Masters of Modern Literature, and to help refresh your memory, Uninvited Books has released a new trailer featuring editor Robert Dunbar reading from his introduction.

Synopsis:
Shadows: Supernatural Tales by Masters of Modern Literature features terrifying explorations of the dark by many of the great writers who revolutionized dark fiction. These may be the finest, most evocative ghost stories ever written.

The authors include: Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, E. M. Forster, Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, Henry James, Algernon Blackwood, Oliver Onions, Montague Rhodes James, and more.

New Jersey isn't just about orange people with dangerously sharp hair and cleavage you can't escape; it's also about VAMPIRES - the kind that rip your head off with teeth or sharp nails. And an ambitious theatre troupe is proving its love for the fanged with a live performance of Nosferatu.

Based on the 1923 German Expressionist film by F.W. Murnau, writer/director Alex Dawson's stage adaptation additionally draws on Chinese shadow-play, Shakespeare, and explorer/orientalist Richard Burton's translation of Hindu vampire fables to tell the story of Count Orlock, a rat-fanged Romanian looking for love even as he brings a boatload of Black Death to a German village.

From the team that brought you A Clockwork Orange with makeup by Tom Savini alumnus Dan Diana and original music by composer Bruce Donnola, the production, which stars film actress Quinn Shephard as Ellen Hutter and Shakespearean actor Caryle Owens as the eponymous Nos, opens with a scene so unsettling even the swooniest Twilight fan would be hard pressed to find the conceit remotely romantic ever again.

Have we piqued your interest? Well, we've got good news and bad news. The good news is this play is going on RIGHT NOW. The bad news? Literally...right now. Drop what you're doing if you want to see this!! Only a few showtimes are left:

3:00, 7:30 & 10:00 PM - Saturday, April 21st

While the Don't Be Afraid of the Dark remake was disappointing to most of us, no one can deny that the creatures themselves were pretty cool, which is why we're letting you know that Sideshow Collectibles' badass Don't Be Afraid of the Dark polystone diorama just became available for pre-order.

Product Description:
Sideshow Collectibles is proud to present the Don't Be Afraid of the Dark diorama. Inspired by the gripping Guillermo Del Toro film, the mysterious and vicious inhabitants of Blackwood Manor are captured in 1:1 scale. Creeping out from the darkness, the creatures measure 6.5 and 7.25 inches tall, respectively, and are hand crafted with Sideshow's trademark attention to detail. The Don't Be Afraid of the Dark diorama makes a chilling and noteworthy addition to any collection.

The Don't Be Afraid of the Dark Polystone Diorama features:

Back Story:
Peering at victims from the darkness and a past that predates humanity, the homunculus creatures dwell in our nightmares made real. They surface with stealth, to catch even a glimpse is unusual, and far more rare are open interactions, except with the isolated or the weak.

Alex, an over-busy father, brings his girlfriend Kim and daughter Sally to Blackwood Manor in Rhode Island to begin restoration of the estate. Eight-year-old Sally finds herself with plenty of time to explore the mansion and discover its secrets, including a hidden basement and sealed fireplace she can't resist opening. Inside she finds a curious item: a discarded adult tooth.

Drawn to children, the creatures offer few clues to their origin or motives, but they violently prevent the fireplace from being sealed again. Offering insight into their disturbing intentions, they leave a coin under Sally's pillow in exchange for the lost tooth. Rooted in the darkness of the area's underground caves and in the realm of faerie, the creatures become more aggressive in their attempts to abduct Sally, as they likely have uncounted other children. After the creatures brutally attack one of Blackwood's workmen, Mr. Harris, Kim investigates the mysterious history of the estate and its former lord. The terrified family discovers the true intent of these creatures: to abduct Sally and transform her into one of their own.

I must confess that I have never seen the movie Raiders of the Living Dead. I don’t recall even knowing such a movie existed until I stumbled upon the opening credits song by accident. One listen, and you’ll understand why I realized that song was an instant B-Sides.

Raiders of the Living Dead was a 1986 horror movie about a reporter investigating the mysterious happenings on a remote island where a mad scientist is creating zombies. From what I’ve read on IMDB, it was such an ultra low budget production, much of the crew were New York film students. B-moviemaker and effects guy Brett Piper pretty much started his career with this film.

As I said, I’ve never seen the movie, and from some of the reviews I’ve skimmed over, I’m probably better off for it. Most seem to agree that the opening credits song, a bit of a folksy 1970’s rock melody written and performed by George Edward Ott, is the best part of the movie.

If those critics are correct, then this week’s B-Sides is the only part of Raiders of the Living Dead you’ll ever need to see.

If you’ve been paying attention to the news over the past two weeks, then you’ve heard all about the massive tornado outbreaks that have been ravaging several states. On the bright side, at least they weren't alien tornadoes. But an Alien Tornado will be touching down on Syfy tonight.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 director Jeff Burr is behind the camera for Syfy’s Alien Tornado, starring the venerable Jeff Fahey and the fetching Kari Wuhrer. Let the press release tell you more.

Alien Tornado, premiering Saturday, April 21 at 9PM (ET/PT), stars Jeff Fahey (Machete) and Kari Wuhrer (Sliders). In the movie aliens attack Earth, using deadly electrical tornadoes as weapons. A farmer, his brilliant high school daughter, and a tornado blogger race against the clock to find a way to thwart the horrific invasion. Alien Tornado is a production of Active Entertainment.

A tornado blogger? Somehow that just doesn’t sound as cool a job as being a tornado chaser.

With less than 24 hours remaining before Alien Tornado premieres, now is probably as good a time as any to give you a taste of the glowing funnel cloud action to come with two scenes from the film Syfy has unveiled.

The first is the 30-second preview with plenty of city twisting action. A busload of people gets vacuumed into space in the second clip. According to the third, look, when Jeff Fahey tells you to get your ass to the storm shelter, you get your ass to the storm shelter.

Alien Tornado premieres tonight on Syfy at 9/8 Central.

Following up on yesterday's exclusive and confirmed casting news that Doug Bradley had joined the cast of Declan O'Brien's Wrong Turn 5, the name of the flick's female lead has now come our way. Read on for details.

A Bulgarian DC reader by the name of Stevenson has written in once again to let us know that television actress Camilla Arfwedson (pictured) has joined the cast of the film as the female lead who will be tangoing with the inbred cannibals of the backwoods. Roxanne McKee ("Game of Thrones") also stars. Given that Stevenson was on the money pertaining to Bradley's involvement, we're pretty certain on our source. No official casting announcements have been made at this time.

Synopsis
In the next chilling chapter of Wrong Turn, a small West Virginia town is hosting the legendary Mountain Man Festival on Halloween, where throngs of costumed partygoers gather for a wild night of music and mischief. But an inbred family of hillbilly cannibals kill the fun when they trick and treat themselves to a group of visiting college students who are dying for a good time...

The Monsterpalooza event in Los Angeles, California, has quickly, and we mean quickly, become the premier convention for horror fans from all over the world. Though it has more than its fair share of celebrity guests, what sets this event apart from the rest is one simple thing...

Its unabashed love for everything monster related. Seriously, the only real way you can describe this enigma is a celebration of our genre where everyone, regardless of celebrity status or fandom, instantly gets back in touch with that child-like wonder we've all felt growing up.

Mad genius and showrunner Eliot Brodsky has decided to treat fans to even more mayhem with (what else?) Son of Monsterpalooza! The event takes place on October 26th-28th at the Burbank Marriott Hotel and Convention Center. Do yourselves a favor...

START PLANNING EARLY! You don't wanna miss this!

Rhode Island-based Scorpio Film Releasing has wrapped production on its 12th feature film, Murder University, and sent over a few new stills from the flick, which is an homage to the slasher films of the 80's slated to premiere in late July of 2012.

SFR promises that Murder University is the company's most violent and gory film to date. It stars Jamie Dufault, Michael Thurber, and Samantha Acampora.

Director Richard Griffin says, "Murder University is nothing but pure entertainment. Extreme graphic violence, action, sex, nudity, comedy, a musical number... hell, anything and everything we could throw at the audience, we did! The performances are top-notch, and the movie has a scope that most low budget films could only dream of. It's a great testament to my amazingly hardworking crew and my tireless producers Ted Marr and Kristin Kayala."

Acclaimed playwright turned screenwriter Lenny Schwartz adds, "It's been an honor and a privilege to work with this cast, crew, producers, and director on the film. It certainly is the bloodiest thing I have ever written, and it is filled with things I have never done in the theater: blood, sex, extreme violence, and nudity. And that positively fills me with glee."

Actor Jamie Dufault says, "I've spent nearly every weekend for the past two and a half months engaging in general debauchery with this wonderful cast and crew, and I've loved every second of it. It's an experience I won't soon forget."

Actress Samantha Acampora explains, "Murder University was an amazing experience for me. We started filming soon after I returned from a year living in LA, and it was great having this to come home to. I love Lenny's writing, and the crew was so professional and fun to work with. I was really sad to wrap... Richard is a wonderful director, and I got to work with such talented actors like Jamie Dufault and Michael Thurber. I can't wait to see how the whole thing turns out!"

Murder University also stars Sean Sullivan, Rich Tretheway, Nat Sylva, Lee Rush, Nick Apostolides, Christopher Ferreira, Kevin Killavey, and Daniel Lee White.

Synopsis:
A series of brutal, cult-like murders are taking place at a New England college. Josh Greene, a shy freshman, is the lone survivor of the murders, which are reminiscent of a similar string of killings some twenty years prior. As he seeks to uncover the secret behind the attacks, he is joined by Detective Forrester, who was instrumental in halting the bloodshed before, and his daughter, Meg, who had barely escaped being a victim previously.

Stay tuned for more info on screenings and the upcoming trailer for the film. In the meantime visit the Murder University Facebook page.

Films featuring inanimate objects capable of killing humans are a bit of crapshoot - people seemed to either love or hate Rubber without much in-between. How they'll take to Drill Kills, about a reanimated construction worker's drill, remains to be seen. Check out the flick's trailer and let us know what you think.

The folks at Splatter Container clued us in to Drill Kills (Trapano Uccide), directed by Alessio De Nicola from a script written by Severino Iuliano with the great Sergio Stivaletti providing special effects. Valeria Perri and Eleonora Gnazi star in the English language film.

Synopsis:
John is a forty-year-old laborer with a wife and child in the Congo. One day, forced to work in inhumane conditions by a greedy real estate agent, John loses his life after falling from the roof of a house. Due to a dramatic coincidence, the drill that he was carrying falls on him with the tip sticking straight into his right eye. John dies, but his soul enters the drill, giving it life. His vengeance begins. This is "Drill Kills".

Paying the price for this are three American students - Wendy, Rose, and Desirée. Their plan is to spend the summer studying Italian in Abruzzo, enroll the following year at the University in Italy, and in the meantime enjoy the lifestyle of the “Belpaese”. But it happens that the house placed among the vineyards and countryside, where John was working, is the one in which the three young women will spend the summer. It is, in fact, the house of Desirée's maternal grandparents.

Synopsis
Life changed for Chris that Thursday evening. The brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend has left him shaken. More than that, he is haunted by the face of a man he doesn’t know, just a stranger Chris saw walking down the street moments before he opened the door to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment. Moments before a large part of his world came crashing down.

And it is not about to get better.

Only a week later, Chris finds himself faced with yet another stranger, a man who claims to know who his ex-girlfriend’s killer is. The stranger’s name is Simon, and the explanation he gives to Chris makes his blood run cold. The man who murdered his ex-girlfriend is an extremely dangerous man, a contract killer, and the fact that Chris has seen his face can only mean one thing: He will be coming back around to make sure Chris doesn’t share what he knows.

He will be coming soon to kill him.

Simon, a bounty hunter who has been tracking the mysterious killer for nearly a decade, has a plan. As he has never laid eyes on the killer, Simon will lure him out into the open so that Chris can identify him. Then he will take him down. But Simon might not be as helpful as he appears to be, and Chris quickly finds himself becoming a pawn in a very deadly game of retribution between two savage men willing to do whatever it takes to see the other man dead.
