In my non-blog job it sounds like my work hours are going to change from a lovely four day week to a not so grand five day week. When that happens I will need to rearrange the days I do my blog. Currently I'm planning to go from writing the week's posts on the weekend to writing one a day during week days. All exciting stuff I'm sure.
Beginning with some music news. The Funeral March have released a new EP that was inspired by Greek mythology. This five track EP, titled 'Persephone', cites The Cure, Siouxie & The Banshees, as well as Neil Gaiman's The Sandman as influences. The press release states the '...new release...contemplates our mental and emotional undoing before that day comes' (in reference to the apocalypse). Check out the track 'Nite Nite' taken from the EP below.
The graphic novel series Halloween Girl (which I gave a very respectable 8/10 rotted zombie heads) has been nominated for the Rondo Awards. These awards have been going since 2002, and apparently are 'fandom's only classic horror awards - decided by fans, for fans'. Halloween Girl creator Richard T. Wilson has said of the nomination "...a Rondo Nomination is the Horror World equivalent of an Oscar - it just doesn't get much better!".
Horror film Bliss of Evil is one of Bayview Entertainment's newest acquisitions. It comes from director Josh Morris and stars Sharnee Tones, Jordan Shulte, and Michaela Da Costa. In this movie, a sound engineer and her girlfriend's band become trapped in a recording studio by a mysterious killer, and was apparently based on true events.
A Kickstarter campaign has been launched for Demon Squad 2, the follow up to Demon Squad which was featured on the classic TV series, Mystery Science Theater 300. This follows paranormal investigators Nick Moon and Daisy O'Reilly who get caught up in what appears to be a haunted house mystery. Genres included here will be adventure, science fiction and fantasy. For more details check out the Kickstarter page here.
A quick update for horror RPG Cursed Mansion, which I have mentioned in past news posts. The game was released on 30th March and can be purchased here. The retro styled top down game has you playing as a woman trapped in a dangerous mansion.
Calling Nurse Meow is an eleven short film anthology featuring the work of six different directors - Laura Barker, Joe Cash (Carnal Monsters), Jason Impey, Dan Urban, Kaylan Jordan-Sen and John W.T. This adult only anthology is based around the titular character (Kitty Kiss) '...and her psychotic, sexual and murderous ways'. The shorts sound varied, heading to Medieval times, World War II, the 1970's, and even into animated territory. The anthology comes from VIPCO and can be found on Amazon.
Goth pop artist Metamorph have released a new single, 'Witchlit', which is due on their new EP due out in Autumn this year. The press release states '...is a song of broken hearts, of abuse, power, twin flames, and the craving for love. When nothing makes sense in the light, we search in the darkest nights.'
Half Dead Fred became available to stream on Amazon from March 15th. This stars Corin Nemec, Jason London, and Tiffany Shepis, and is about the titular Fred, a detective who has gained the ability to see the dead after a near death experience which claimed the life of his son.
