The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for 7th August 2025


I am back for a second round of news stories, feeling aware that my inbox is getting a bit full, though it has certainly been far worse in the past. I am writing this on Sunday after having got back from swimming, the first time I've done that in about twenty five years. Anyway, enough waffling, onwards to the news.

Fear Anonymous is a new film that was directed by Bron Theron, and starring Gerard Marzilli, Tyler Gaylord, Rashida L. Hudson, Tod James, Sarkis Bakalyan and plenty of others. It takes place at a Sunday afternoon support group where people gather to explain what scares them the most. One week, a young man named Tyler joins, which leads to a shift within the dynamic of the group. The movie takes place in the same film universe as Theron's previous film Half Dead Fred, with the director explaining that this takes place the day after the events in that film where Freddy Nash visits a haunted house. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe this to be an anthology.


VIPCO and BayView Entertainment have released the documentary Areas Of High Strangeness: Stimson Hospital, it is now available on digital platforms worldwide, including to rent/buy on Amazon Prime Video. Written and directed by Jeffrey Checker, this follows the Demon Hunter Society as they explore the allegedly haunted Stimson Hospital in Eaton Rapids, Michigan.


Finally for today, Iconic is a thriller from director Matthew Freiheit that has recently came to MoviVue. The film concerns a social media influencer who struggles to keep their sanity after being stalked by a violent stalker. MoviVue is a new streaming service that features curated indie horror gems, with filmmakers on the platform getting up to fifty times more profit than traditional streaming platforms.
