Yet another month has flown by, with a summer that has been both humid and wet in near equal measure. Still haven't won the lottery so I am still unable to do this blog full time. A ghoul can dream! Onwards to the news.

Halloween slasher Creeping Death has been acquired by Cineverse for the SCREAMBOX streaming service. This one is about Tim, whose peaceful Halloween night with his mother is interrupted by the arrival of friends, one of which appears to have broken a sacred tradition between humans and otherworldly deities known as Aos Si. This is based on writer-director Matt Sampere's short film of the same name, and marks his feature length debut.
Also coming to SCREAMBOX is the mockumentary Haunted Ulster Live. In the vein of Ghostwatch and Late Night with the Devil, this takes the form of a live broadcast from 1998 at an apparently haunted house in Belfast.

Finally for today, the award-winning sci-fi dimension hopping movie Ingress is to be released on 13th August 20234 on Cable and TVOD by Glass House Distribution. About a woman with the unwanted ability to shift between alternate realities, I gave this a respectable seven out of ten in my review stating '...got me enough in the feels that I did find myself getting a bit teary in the epilogue...'
