The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Tuesday 3rd October 2023


It is my favourite month of the year, and certainly the spookiest month. As always, I am well excited for Halloween, it is the one time of the year I escape my pocket dimension of horror and can mix with the rest of the world due to people being far more likely to be watching horror films. Onwards to this trio of horror news stories.

The clumsily titled HeBGB TV is now available from Scream Team Releasing on Blu-ray and Limited Edition Box (featuring a bunch of extras). This is about a multi-dimensional cable box that two siblings discover, using it sends the two on a '...wild channel-surfing journey through a world of television mayhem'. This 'spooky, sci-fi story' is described in the press release as '...a cacophony of comical commercials, perverse puppets, and monstrous music with a naughty dose of 90s nostalgia'.


Deadgirl is coming to Blu-ray in a 15th Anniversary Edition from Unearthed Films. This film is a blast from the past for me, having reviewed it a couple of years into writing my blog, back in 2010. The story sees two high school outcasts who discover a undead girl chained to a table in an abandoned building. Rather than do anything sensible with this discovery, they instead decide to give in to their sordid desires. Noah Segan won the 2009 Fright Meter Award for Best Actor (I used to be a member of the Fright Meter Awards for a few years up to its dissolution). Special features include new interviews with co-director Gadi Harel, writer Trent Haaga, Segan and Shiloh Fernandez, and special makeup effects artist and designer Jim Ojala among a whole bunch of other extras.

Finally for today, horror anthology Artifacts of Fear had a September 26th release on VOD from Bayview Entertainment. This stars Luke Morgan, Cameron Patmore and Kelly-Marie Kerr and is directed by Rusty Apper. The Hammer Horror inspired anthology sees two teens getting into trouble while messing around in a notorious local antiques store.
