Set Up a Hayride in Your House

Midnight Releasing’s next big horror film release Hayride will be hitting shelves on May 7th, 2013. Hayride will also be available for rental at Redbox and is currently able to be saved in your Netflix user’s queue.
Hayride was filmed in Southern Alabama and is loosely based on the childhood experiences of the director, Terron R. Parsons, whose family used to have an annual haunted hayride attraction. The cast includes Mississippi native Sherri Eakin, who is no stranger to independent horror movies, Jeremy Ivy, and veteran actor Richard Tyson (Kindergarten Cop; Black Hawk Down; Me, Myself & Irene). The film follows a college student returning home for Halloween who is forced to face his childhood fears when an escaped killer takes refuge in his family’s haunted hayride attraction. The phrase coined for the film, which has also become its tagline, is “Southern Fried Horror.”
Synopsis

Unaware that an escaped killer is on the loose, Steven will soon face the real life embodiment of PITCHFORK, a character his uncle created for the Hayride and Steven's childhood tormentor. Steven will soon realize that not all childhood fears are imagined when the legend of Pitchfork suddenly becomes dangerously real...

The Exorcist in the 21st Century Comes Home
Ever wonder what really goes on during an exorcism? Is it really all pea soup and contorting? Hopefully with the DVD release of The Exorcist in the 21st Century, we can finally find out... or not!
From the Press Release
Horror films that delve into unexplained, paranormal activities and superstitions are an enduring obsession in our culture. Perhaps the most terrifying movie of all time, The Exorcist exploited a primitive fear and apprehension of evil and death by exposing filmgoers to demonic possession and the mysterious power of the Church. Ever since, filmgoers and the general public have wondered if demons and exorcisms are real. Now, with unprecedented access granted by the Catholic Church, director Fredrik Horn Akselsen reveals the secret and mystical world of Catholic exorcisms in his documentary The Exorcist in the 21st Century. The feature-length film will be released on all major digital platforms and DVD on May 7, 2013, by The Disinformation Company.
The Church granted filmmakers Fredrik Horn Akselsen and Christian Falch a remarkable degree of access to tell this story, allowing them to accompany one of the few exorcists in Europe, the Vatican-approved Father José Antonio Fortea, Catholic priest/exorcist and author. Father Fortea travels the world on his mission to enlighten the masses about demonic possession and to help fellow exorcists. Father Gabriel Amorth, Official Vatican Exorcist, is also prominently featured in the documentary. He has been an exorcist for 25 years and estimates he has seen 70,000 cases.
In the film Constanza, a Colombian woman, claims to have been possessed by demons for 15 years and sees the Spanish exorcist as her last hope for spiritual liberation.
The Exorcist in the 21st Century gives a unique insight into one of the world’s most secret and mystical rites – the Catholic ritual of exorcism. Captured in a compelling and dramatic fashion by Akselsen, the on-camera casting out of the demons is every bit as disturbing as anything Hollywood filmmakers could conjure up.

Sometimes life doesn't leave you alone. How far would you go to escape your reality? Get away from it all? There's no doubt the prospect of doing so can be riddled with tough choices. Sometimes though... sometimes escaping can be far, far worse.
From the Press Release

Cover Art and Release Info for Christopher Rice's The Heavens Rise
Last summer we learned that Christopher Rice would be releasing The Heavens Rise, his first supernatural novel, this year, and now we have more details on the story's synopsis, artwork, and release date.
Christopher, son of author Anne Rice and her late husband, poet Stan Rice, who is already a bestselling writer with five novels (mostly thrillers) to his credit, posted the following synopsis and excerpt on the website for his Internet comedy variety series The Dinner Party Show:
Synopsis:
New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice returns to New Orleans in this supernatural novel featuring a group of teenagers who find themselves with mysterious and dangerous powers.
Deep in the swamps outside of New Orleans, Niquette Delongpre and her family uncover a well on their property—a well that has roots all the way down into the soils of the Mississippi River. A well that brings ancient things to the surface—things that should have stayed buried.
When Niquette is exposed to a small parasite, it triggers in her mysterious and dangerous powers. As she tries to come to grips with these new abilities and what they might mean for her future, she realizes that she is not alone. Someone else, someone who was exposed to the same mysterious parasite during a clandestine visit to the swamp Niquette would rather keep secret, also is discovering his new talents, and he’s not as nice as she is...
Excerpt:
"My name is Niquette Delongpre and on the night before my mother’s forty-seventh birthday, my entire family vanished without a trace. Everyone assumed the swamp swallowed them. They were wrong. The real story begins weeks earlier, in the very soil of the place we called Elysium, which means 'final resting place for the heroic and virtuous.' An ironic name, given that the secret unearthed there has the potential to change the course of human history."
The Heavens Rise will be released on October 15th, which, ironically enough, is the same day his mother's sequel to The Wolf Gift, The Wolves of Midwinter, arrives. Check out the cover art for The Heavens Rise below, and be sure to pre-order your copy from the EvilShop.

Theatre Owners Blaming R-Rated Movies for Low Ticket Sales
So what if movies like the recently released Evil Dead have raked in millions at the box office? I mean, who cares, right? Apparently not theatre owners, who have pleaded their case at CinemaCon Vegas that they need fewer R-rated films to help falling ticket sales bounce back.
At this year's event John Fithian, president and chief executive of the National Association of Theater Owners, used the spotlight to complain about a glut of R-rated films. He said attendance had suffered this year because of “the weight of too many R-rated movies.”
“Make more family-friendly films and fewer R-rated titles,” Fithian said. “Americans have stated their choice.” North America is down 12 percent in box office sales so far this year compared to last. So of course R-rated movies are the problem. It couldn't possibly be anything else like the advancement of home theatre technology and not having to deal with the constant annoyance of some morons and their friends texting each other and using their cellphones. No, that couldn't be it at all. I mean, spending a ludicrous amount of money between ticket prices and concession stand goodies just to be completely distracted by a sea of dickheads with no regard for anyone but themselves is definitely not part of the problem. Why should the experience be enjoyable?
Not to mention the (poor) quality of the movies being churned out as a means to find the next phenomenon amongst young adults that are complete shit and under-perform because they suck and are sub-par pieces of bullshit with a neatly placed Hollywood bow on top. No way that could be part of the problem. It HAS to be the rating! Who cares about the millions brought in by movies like Ted, Evil Dead, and The Hangover franchise? Those are clearly just isolated instances. It's the friggin' R rating man! It has to be!
Idiot.

Zombieland TV Series... AVAILABLE LATER! No, Really!
We, like many of you, hit up Amazon Instant today to check out the pilot episode of "Zombieland." There was just one little problem. Despite the trailer stating that you could go and watch it now, that was not the case.
Shock Till You Drop reports that sources are saying that the pilot will go live on Friday, April 19th, the same day Eli Roth's "Hemlock Grove" premieres on Netflix. Will you be watching both?
“Zombieland” is based on the hit Columbia Pictures movie of the same name and finds four survivors outwitting zombies and searching for a place to call home. The Zombieland pilot comes from the feature film’s original creative team, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (G.I. Joe: Retaliation, "The Joe Schmo Show"), and producer Gavin Polone (“Gilmore Girls,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm”). Eli Craig (Tucker and Dale vs. Evil) directed the pilot.

A Torso Drawn and Quartered for Adaptation
Another graphic novel is ready to get a big screen adaptation. This time Hollyweird has its sights set on Brian Michael Bendis and Marc Andreyko's illustrated property Torso. Read on for the initial details.
According to THR, David Lowery, the filmmaker who drew much praise for his Sundance film Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, has come aboard to write and direct the thriller, which will be produced by Circle of Confusion, the shingle behind AMC’s "The Walking Dead." Bendis and Andreyko are also producing as are David and Toby Halbrooks of Sailor Bear, Lowery's production banner.
Hollywood has tried for more than a decade to get its hooks into Torso, which was written by Bendis and Andreyko and drawn by Bendis in the late 1990s.
Torso tells the true story of Elliot Ness’ time after his Al Capone days, when he moved to Cleveland and got embroiled in the hunt of serial killer who was leaving torsos in the river and sending taunting notes to police. More on this one as it comes.

As the video demonstrates, in Episode 1.13, "Havenport," Roderick showed himself to be even more dangerous and deadly than anyone thought previously. You can check it out below, but if you missed the episode, it repeats this Saturday night, April 20th.

Starz Orders a Second Season of Da Vinci's Demons
After just one episode (albeit one that helped set a record), Starz has greenlit a second season of its original series "Da Vinci's Demons." We guess genius like Da Vinci's really can't be contained!
From the Press Release:
Starz Chief Executive Officer Chris Albrecht announced a second season order for the Starz Original series “Da Vinci’s Demons” following its recent record-setting first season weekend debut on Friday, April 12. The historical fantasy created by David S. Goyer and produced by Adjacent Productions follows the "untold" story of the world's greatest genius, Leonardo da Vinci, during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence. More than 2.14 million total viewers tuned in opening weekend to “Da Vinci’s Demons,” making it the highest-rated premiere weekend ever for a Starz Original series.
Production of Season Two of “Da Vinci’s Demons” is expected to begin in Wales in May 2013, with an on-air return expected on Starz in 2014.
“'Da Vinci’s Demons' serves up action, adventure, and history in a unique and highly entertaining way that only someone like David S. Goyer can,” said Albrecht. “The first season premiered to strong audience engagement, and we are excited to bring the next chapter of Leonardo da Vinci’s adventures to audiences around the world.”
“I'm excited that we get to continue the adventures of the world's most eccentric and glorious polymath. Long live Leonardo, and thanks to Starz for helping to make it happen,” said Goyer.
Jane Tranter, Executive Producer of "Da Vinci's Demons" and Head of Adjacent Productions, commented, “'Da Vinci's Demons' has been a great passion project for us, and it has been a privilege to work with Chris, Carmi, and their terrific team at Starz and with the creative vision of David S. Goyer. We're excited to continue this journey for another season and to bring the genius, passion, and adventure of Goyer's Leonardo da Vinci to viewers around the world."
Outside of the United States and English-speaking Canada, “Da Vinci’s Demons” is distributed internationally by BBC Worldwide. Fox International Channels (FIC) acquired the first season of the series and premiered it to audiences in 120 countries in Latin America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa following Starz’s exclusive premiere in the U.S. on April 12th.
Brilliant and passionate, 25-year-old Leonardo da Vinci is an artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer, and idealist. As a free thinker, with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman, he struggles to live within the confines of his own reality and time. He begins to not only see the future but invent it.
“Da Vinci’s Demons” stars Tom Riley, who has received wide critical acclaim in the UK for his performances in theater, film, and on television and was nominated by the Drama Desk Awards for his performance in the 2011 Tony® Award nominated Broadway play “Arcadia.” Riley’s co-stars include Laura Haddock (The Inbetweeners Movie, “Honest,” Captain America: The First Avenger), who plays the celebrated beauty Lucrezia Donati; Elliot Cowan (“Marchlands,” “The Fixer,” “Lost in Austen”), who plays the shrewd de factor ruler of Florence, Lorenzo Medici; Lara Pulver (“True Blood,” “Sherlock,” “Robin Hood”), who plays his wife, Clarice Orsini; and Blake Ritson (Serena, “Upstairs Downstairs”), who plays the ruthless and unwavering Count Girolamo Riario, nephew of Pope Sixtus IV.
Goyer, who serves as showrunner and directed the first two episodes of the first season, is co-writer of The Dark Knight Trilogy and screenwriter of the highly anticipated Man of Steel premiering June 2013. Julie Gardner is Executive Producer along with Adjacent Productions' Head Jane Tranter. Tranter and Gardner have been responsible for a plethora of titles in their careers, including “Doctor Who,” “Torchwood,” “Little Dorrit,” “Bleak House,” “Girl in a Café,” “Ashes to Ashes,” and “State of Play.”

Dark Horse and Sequential Pulp Comics Announce The Halloween Legion Graphic Novel
With the tagline "Evil Beware – The World’s Weirdest Heroes Are Here!" comes the first word on joint Dark Horse Comics/Sequential Pulp Comics project The Halloween Legion. Read on for the details.
From the Press Release:
Dark Horse Comics and Sequential Pulp Comics proudly announce THE HALLOWEEN LEGION™, a new graphic novel written by Martin Powell (Mars Attacks Popeye), illustrated by Thomas Boatwright and Diana Leto.
The sleepy rural town of Woodland is protected by a mysterious group of extraordinary guardians. They come from a place of eternal October, where orange, gold, and crimson leaves follow you in the autumn breeze.
THE HALLOWEEN LEGION characters - The Skeleton, The Witch, The Ghost, The Devil, and Autumn the Black Cat - are the creations of writer Martin Powell and illustrator Diana Leto, who share a passion for All Hallows' Eve.
“I had the notion for The Halloween Legion, a team made up from Halloween archetypes, when I was still in high school, but it’s taken this long for me to know who they really are,” Powell explains. “Diana has added considerably to their visual and personal charm. She instinctively knows the World’s Weirdest Heroes as well as I do, and they are very real to us. The art by Thomas Boatwright captures the HL’s whimsical nature without diluting the darkness lurking within our little group of weirdos. At last, they are ready to be born into comics and graphic novels – and now every day will be Halloween!”
Also included in the full-length graphic novel is Martin Powell’s autobiographical “Once Upon a Halloween,” illustrated by Diana Leto. The eerie tale is, according to Powell, his very own origin story.
"This is such a wonderful project to work on,” adds co-creator Leto. “The story really brings back some magical childhood memories of Halloween, and the message that Martin's ‘weird’ characters deliver is an important one for children and adults."
Sequential Pulp Comics is a graphic novel imprint distributed by Dark Horse Comics, specializing in works of classic and new pulp literature. Producer Michael Hudson says, “Martin and Diana’s characters have depth and soul. I fell in love with them from day one. The stories are pure pulp fun that will hook everyone.”
No firm release date has been announced other than "soon" so keep it here for more as it comes.

Synopsis
Heidi, a blonde rock chick, DJs at a local radio station and, together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster), forms part of the "Big H Radio Team". A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, "a gift from the Lords". She assumes it's a rock band on a mission to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lords' record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma.
Later Whitey plays the Lords' record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with listeners.
The arrival of another wooden box from the Lords presents the Big H Team with free tickets, posters and records to host a gig in Salem.
