This morning as I sat down at work with my cup of coffee in front of me the video you see below popped up before my eyes. Needless to say my entire day has been ruined. Now I’m going to first say that I’m not sure who posted this and it very well could be some sort of viral campaign for a movie or god knows what that hasn’t been announced yet. But putting all that aside what you see is a video capture from a camera set up in a sewer where some sort of “unknown life form” is living. There’s three of these little hanging blobs that look almost like hearts.

You’ve got to have a pair on you to throw out a 5 minute trailer for your independent film. But with all the sick crap going on in “Cyrus” I don’t think anyone is going to complain. With the cast alone you’re going to need five minutes to introduce all your horror fan favorities, with the likes of Danielle Harris, Lance Henriksen, Doug Jones and Tiffany Shepis all making appearances.

A new poster for the little talked about film “Carriers” has hit the intertubes. The movie stars Chris Pine ("Star Trek"), Emily VanCamp, Piper Perabo and a bunch of others you’ll probably recognize as a small band of travelers who are trying to find the last safe place in America after a viral pandemic breaks out and starts killing everyone. Along the way they’re faced with the task of having to battle off those who are already infected and the moral dilemma of having to leave behind those from their group with the disease. It’s a real tear jerker.

The good people over at Fright Rags have put out a whole slew of new “Vintage” horror shirts for your wearing pleasure, including some really kick ass designs from films like “Demons”, “Shocker”, “Silent Night Deadly Night” and the site favorite “Night Of The Creeps”. You can get them in all shapes, sizes and colors. Pick one up for that special lady in your life. Nothing says “I love you” like a “Slumber Party Massacre” hoodie. You can even get the designs distressed so they don’t look fresh out of the box.

The best way I can think to describe “Unrated – The Movie” is “Hellraiser” on crack. Co-produced by Timo Rose and Andreas Schnaas the film features a band of whacked out freaks with names like the Death Trooper, Fat Zombie, Slice Face, Ragnator, Templar, Succubus, Hellhound and The Melting Man.

Pop Quiz! You’re significant other just got shit canned from their job and you are now faced with having to figure out how to pay bills that you already can’t afford. A guy shows up at your door with a wooden box that contains a button. If you push that button you’ll be given one millions dollars but someone you’ve never met somewhere will die. Would you push the button? Of course you would, I’d slam that thing before he even showed me the money. Done, movie over.

It’s always cool to see a small independent film that doesn’t look like it was made in someone's house over a long weekend. It’s even cooler to see a movie like that featuring a bunch of German hookers being taunted by a giant wolf in the middle of the woods. In this case the film we’re talking about is “Rotkäppchen: The Blood of Red Riding Hood”, a new film by Harry Sparks that is loosely based on the children's fairy tale.

It isn’t a week if there isn’t a new “Halloween 2” video for us to talk about. This week we’ve got the second full length trailer for your viewing please. From the looks of things I’m going to go out on a limb and say if you didn’t like the first one you’re going to want to beat up a homeless person after this sucker.
