So much happening...
First thing, we have a new review up from the DVD SAVANT site. Reviewer Glenn Erickson gives us huge props, starting the review with, "It's a surprise to find a low budget direct to video horror film with more ambition than the hundred or so slasher/zombie/satanic epics that come out every year. "
He really seems to "get" the film, understanding what Warren and I were trying to do with the ideas, pacing, and general tone of the movie. The review, I think, is one of the best written pieces out there on the movie, and I encourage all to read the whole thing here.

Next, the Worcester-based ROCK AND SHOCK show is quickly approaching. You can find us in our comfy little 10' x 10' booth from 5:00pm Friday 'til 6:00 Sunday night, this coming weekend (Oct 13-15). I know there are a lot of you from the New England area, and we'd love to have drop by the booth and say 'hi.
We'll be selling copies of our own WESTERN MASS HORROR SHOW DVD, which is in the final authoring/packaging stages now. My buddy Scott Kittredge (he of TERMINAL CONVERSATION fame), is putting the finishing touches on brand new artwork for the disc, which is really blowing my mind. These things are going to sell like hotcakes.
We'll also have mucho copies of other Heretic titles, as well as author/illustrator Steve Bissette on Sunday. Steve will be signing copies of Heretic's THE LAST BROADCAST and HEAD TRAUMA, for which he provided artwork.
Fellow dude, G. Michael Dobbs will also be on hand all weekend with a cool little trinket to sell. As he writes on his own blog, "I will have a new product firmly aimed at the disenfranchised....a black silicone wristband that reads I HATE PEOPLE." Now these, I suspect, will sell like hotcakes (my earlier statement about the speed and volume at which our DVDs will sell was pure hyperbole).

Another local filmmaker, Robert Stock, is putting the final edit of his magnum opus togther -- ANGEL'S BLADE will be making it's national premiere on October 27 in NYC! I'll do a future post with dates and times. I just came back from Bob's studio in nearby Granby, MA to scope it out for a potential new movie project, and he laid the new trailer on me. Nice. Bob's got all the elements that're going to make his film an easy sell to the horror crowd.
