The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for 15th October 2022


It is hardly the most exciting news, but I have realised I am able to stream from my phone directly to my TV. That has meant that I can actually watch films for review in comfort rather than sitting on my chair in my office. Anyway. onto actual news.

I have reviewed a few issues of Richard T. Wilson's Halloween Girl and now a graphic novel has been released bringing it all together. Charlotte is a teen ghost who has teamed up with her supernatural friend Poe in order to go up against a shady secret society named The Hollow, who have kidnapped her son. This started as a short film, and then was spun off into a web series, Under the Flowers, before being made into a comic series. The graphic novel is now available from comic shops and bookstores, including Barnes & Noble, I plan to put up a review of this next week.

Crime Traveler: The Adventures of Dave Slade is a short film that won Best Psychedelic Fantasy Short Film at Retro Avant Garde Film Festival (2020), Best Horror/Thriller at the Golden Wheat Awards Festival (2022) and Best Sci-fi Film at The Hollywood Monthly Film Festival (2022). It stars Nicholas M. Garofolo (Sweet Revenge, Deranged Foxhole) as Slade, a man who is told that in the future he is a very important person. This is the catalyst to Slade becoming the hero he was always destined to be. The film can be seen on Amazon and Reveel, and is due to head to Troma in the future.

A teaser trailer has been released for a new series, Herbert West: Reanimator. This sees the titular character as 'he navigates through a universe of Lovecraftian lore'. This is set to star Zan Alda (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) with others confirmed, including Mike Ferguson (Amityville Uprising), Jackson Everest (Camp Pleasant Lake), BJ Mezek (Death Count) and Lisa Hinds (Night of the Tommy Knockers), with Joe Castro on the crew working on some of the special effects. The show is set to delve into many H.P Lovecraft storylines in a way 'that will honor the original work'. Production is due to start this October, 


Finally, a horror film based on NFTs has been announced, It had to happen sooner or later, perhaps later in this case as NFT appear to be crashing and burning at the moment. The film itself is also named NFT which is to come from writer/director Jonas Odenheimer (Classroom 6) and will star Najarra Townsend (The Stylist). The set-up does sound interesting, it follows a group of millennials who are trying to get rich off of selling NFTs. However, after buying a NFT collection said to be cursed they soon find themselves in paranormal danger. The teaser trailer for NFT has been released.
