With my bloody sack of horror news still overflowing, it was time for another trilogy of terror. Three horror news stories plucked from the maggot-infested bottom, some likely out-of-date bits of info for your reading delight.
Back in April, The Horror Collective acquired 213 Bones. This horror is a throwback to slashers of the 1990s. Directed by Jeffrey Primm, it follows a group of college students in the Pacific Northwest who find themselves the target of a masked killer. Starring Luna Fujimoto (Blade of the 47 Ronin), Hunter Nance, Colin Egglesfield (All My Children), Dean Cameron (Summer School), Liam Woodrum (Geek Girl), Toni Weiss and Frances Barker McCormick (Disney's Wonder Man), this film made its debut at FrightFest. It was the final film of horror fan Primm, who sadly passed away shortly after the completion of the film.
Another The Horror Collective acquisition was Canadian horror film - Fresh Meat, which comes from writer/director Daniel Turres. The film is about a group of influencers who break into an abandoned prison complex to make some content, but end up unleashing a ravenous inmate. Fresh Meat was showcased at the Blood in the Snow Film Festival earlier this year where it won 'Best Special Effects'.
Finally for today, at the start of May production began on indie thriller - The Dead Rose. Filmed in Los Angeles and Denver, this is written/directed by Kimmy Drain and stars Frank Stallone, Eric Robert and Andrew Divoff. The synopsis states this is about a Catholic prelate who has been entrusted with guarding an ancient dagger said to have the power to destroy the world. He finds himself having to contend against a Satanic cult who wish to end the world using its power. The press release states The Dead Rose '...confronts modern issues including racial tensions and the growing threat of child trafficking - painting a chilling portrait of a society on the edge, while delivering a powerful message of redemption'.
