It is only after the fact that I realised that October was quite a hedonistic month for me. A reduced blog output and a missed monthly news round-up were some of the results of me choosing pleasure over work. Looking back I can see the bad choices I made, so intend to go back to a regular output of work with caffeine as my only vice while working on this site! Onwards to a terrifying trio of horror news plucked from my bloody mail sack.
VIPCO and BayView Entertainment have released horror TV series - The Hallow Ian Horror Hour: Season 1, it can be found on Digital platforms worldwide, including Plex (here). The first season is made up of 8 episodes, each of which is said to be made up of '...the best in short-form horror'. They include independent short films and music videos featuring a cast of multi-award winning actors, these are interspersed with hosting segments that include such things as small skits, interviews, and the history of Halloween. Season 1 was directed by E.E. Tallent, Sam Arias Mostovoy and Ty Huffer.
Special-needs themed drama - My Apocalyptic Thanksgiving is now on Tubi, as well as other global HD internet and satellite platforms via Freestyle Digital Media. The story is about a zombie-obsessed special needs adult who finds himself caught in a battle between a Korean family and a local gang to be his new 'family'. The man uses his favourite zombie TV show as a way to show these people forgiveness. I said in my respectable 6/10 review that the idea for the movie came from a place of love, and the faux zombie show within the film had some good scenes.
Finally for today, another BayView Entertainment release with Lechuza. Coming from 5-time award winning director Alfons Emilian, this is about a couple who go on a camping trip after ignoring a strange old woman's warnings about the area they have chosen. They come under assault from a vengeful witch-turned-demon (the titular Lechuza). This stars Emilian, Rebecca Blackmore and Jackie Luke.
