I really can't believe how quickly this year has passed. It is said that the older you get the shorter the years feel, so maybe it is due to now being 41 years of age. In me news, there are a few new releases on Netflix I want to check out, including Evil Dead Rises. I'm currently playing Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3, trying to anyway as I have barely any time in the week to do so.
Geno McGahee has released a trailer for his horror anthology Scary Tales: Dead Zone. The film is due for release by Cinema Epoch and Cineridge Entertainment this Halloween. The four short films included here includes two which are supposedly based on actual events, with one of the shorts being about UFO cover-ups.
The October releases for the Arrow streaming service have been announced, including some classics in time for the scariest month of the year. Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment brings together the first four Hellraiser films in 4K (Hellraiser, Hellraiser II, Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, and Hellraiser: Bloodlines). Also coming is South Korean horror The Mimic, about a woman who brings an apparently lost mute girl back home with her after finding her alone near a remote cave. Then there is Lucio Fulci's The House by the Cemetery, also coming in 4K. That one was the first DVD the Arrow video label released, back in 2011. Of course, being Halloween, there is a specially curated season of films titled Shocktober 31.
On October 24th, Synapse Films release Armando de Ossorio's classic zombie film Tombs of the Blind Dead in a two-disc Blu-ray. A group of campers encounter zombie Knights Templar who have risen from their graves to eat. As the title suggests, these undead cannot see and so hunt by sound alone.

Crystal Lake is a Halloween themed music festival that is due to take place at the Silver Lakes in Norco, California on October 1st. It will include three stages of Southern California's best EDM DJs, gogo dancers, a trick-or-treat area and a special live MurderCo performance. Going in fancy dress is welcomed, with the press release stating that it "...promises to be the event to start off the season, offering an unparalleled fusion of music, art, and the eerie spirit of Halloween". Very late notice from me, but you can head here to see if tickets for the event are still available.

The film is to star Avaryana Rose and is about a group of social media personalities who discover a hook wielding killer is after them on a private beach they have gone to.
