The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Tuesday 3rd August 2025


They say the older you get the faster that time appears to move, that certainly seems to be the case with me as I can barely believe it is August already! The year is literally zooming by. Onwards to yet another collection of horrific horror news.

Jared Masters (Feral Female, The Nightgown) has revealed his latest movie, and has launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds to help fund it. Bigfoot Breeds is a comedy horror that surprisingly enough deals with the cryptid Bigfoot. The synopsis states it is about three sorority girls who take on a challenge to spend the weekend in a remote woodland cabin, in an area said to be deep in Bigfoot territory, though they have chosen breeding season as the time to do this. The press release promises a reliance on practical special effects, '...a script so sharp it could shave a yeti, and performances that will make you question your sanity...'

Let's see if you can tell the age of this last news story. Spirit Springs is a new horror that was released on streaming platform Screamify on 13th June. The story concerns a band named 'Midnight Misfits' who stay at a remote mansion on the Florida springs while on tour. One of the band members has a swim, which causes an ancient spirit to awaken and begin to claim souls. The film stars Avaryana Rose (Bitter Souls), Greg Cipes, Ashanti Moore, Tristan Green, Tyler Charly and Austin Nix, with John K. Eagle Jr. as director.


Finally for today, Eureka Entertainment have announced the North American release of The Island, a cult Hong Kong survival horror film (1985) that is said to be Hong Kong's answer to films such as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Hills Have Eyes. Coming on Blu-ray in a brand new 2K restoration, this joins The Masters of Cinema Series as a limited edition release from 14th October, and is limited to 2,000 copies per territory. Directed by Po-Chih Leong, this is about a teacher and his small group of students who go on an excursion to what they believe is an uninhabited island. Turns out the place is actually home to three psychotic siblings and their equally crazed mother.
