The Rotting Zombie's Round-up of Horror News for May 2025


I've had a blissful and very lazy week off of work this previous week, and that is reflected in my blog output that features zero film reviews. Those will be returning next week in full force I am sure. Onwards to another selection of stories plucked out of my bloody mail sack.

Emmett Loverdale's Without A Name is now available on Amazon Prime. This horror, which stars Jeff Wittekiend, Desi Cruz Brooks, and Deborah Kay Johnson, is about a teenager who gets caught up in a youth worshipping cult that hates adults.

On June 1st, found footage streaming platform FOUND TV is launching an Indiegogo page for one of its first ever FOUND originals: A Possession in Lincoln County. This is currently in development by 105ive Films and FOUND TV. While the film will be coming to the streaming service, the only place to get the director's cut (with extra scenes and an alternate ending) will be from the Indiegogo page, with copies limited to just 500 on DVD/Blu-ray. Pre-orders for this director's cut of A Possession in Lincoln County can be found on the Indiegogo page here.

Gothic industrial metal band, Our Frankenstein have announced the release of new full-length album, Magnum Spire Hotel, which is out now via Reclamation Records. This has a concept theme of a haunted hotel with the press release stating 'Each floor takes listeners deeper into levels of psychological depravity, all building towards a grand ball at the top-where YOU are the guest of honor'.


Bitter Souls came to Amazon on May 15th after a limited theatrical run. The film tells the story of a murdered teenage girl whose boyfriend becomes determined to find her killers. To help him, he gets the help of Father O'Reilly (Karl Barbee) and voodoo priestess Mahlet (Destiny Brown) in order to defeat the evil houngan Immanuel.


Premiering on SCREAMBOX on June 10th (and additional VOD platforms) comes Bleeding, which was written, directed, and produced by Andrew Bell. The film takes place in a world where vampire blood is harvested as a drug. The story follows teenager Eric, who is determined to prevent his cousin Sean from getting into this shady world.


Finally for today, Shiver is a Christmas themed slasher film that is currently in pre-production, and is coming from writer/director Robert Resto. Principal photography is due to begin in January 2026. Based at a snowy ski resort, this follows a group of friends away on a Christmas getaway who of course find themselves being stalked by an unknown killer.
