At the time of writing I've just finished watching Steve Lawson's St Patrick's Day Massacre so I will say luck of the Irish to you! Before I start, terrible news that horror legend Tony Todd has sadly passed away at the age of 69 on November 6th. Star of Candyman and a cool recurring character in the Final Destination films, I had a lot of time for this horror icon. May he rest in peace.
Some music news for a change first. Barcelona based thrashy black/death quartet Emissary have released a music video for their track 'At the Throne of Chaos'. The track is first one from their upcoming LP, Eldritch (due for a 2025 release) and was inspired by H.P Lovecraft's 1932 story 'The Dreams in the Witch House'. Emissary are due to be touring across Europe at some point in the near future.
Piper is a supernatural horror-thriller that came to North American VOD platforms and DVD on November 12th from Freestyle Digital Media. This follows a mother and daughter who move to a small German town. A hidden secret makes daughter Amy the target of the titular Piper, a children's fairy-tale legend who turns out to be very real, and whose M.O is punishing parents by stealing away their children. This of course being based on the Pied-Piper of Hamlin (as a child I visited Hamlin and remember well the museum dedicated to this creation, even including the route through the town the man was supposed to have taken!) This was written and directed by Anthony Waller (Mute Witness), with the cast including Elizabeth Hurley (Bedazzled, Austin Powers), Mia Jenkins (Hanna), Jack Stewart (Outlander), Tara Fitzgerald (Brassed Off), Ryan Webber (The Funhouse Massacre) and Robert Daws (The Man Who Fell to Earth).
Finally for today, Fear MP2V has been released on digital platforms worldwide from VIPCO and Bayview Entertainment, with it coming worldwide to AVOD digital platforms on 24th December. This technology based horror is about two crazies who are documenting their small town America road-trip. The press release describes this as '...a film about serial killers made by the killers themselves'. Fear MP2V was directed by Rob Medaska and stars Thomas Brigman, Jackie DeNieff and Jules Graciolett.
