It is March and I am really cranking up the updates and putting Smash or Trash back on the map in blood. There is a ton going on people so sit your butts down and listen up!

First of all I want to tell you that Eagle Film’s Phillip J Cook has released his award winning web series – Malice and Malice: Metamorphosis – as two feature length movies on hulu! These incredible shows have been celebrated all across the world! As I understand it, Phil is working on the script for the third series of the show. Be sure to check out these past films and to support the third season!

SYNOPSIS: MALICE concerns the Turner family’s supernatural adventures in their late Grandma’s home. It’s up to teens Alice and Abbey to solve mysteries and survive dangers emanating from the old home. And when people start disappearing, Alice–the sixteen year-old with an active imagination–must go down the “rabbit hole” and rescue them all.

SYNOPSIS: MALICE METAMORPHOSIS is about how the character of Alice tries to live a normal life known as “the girl who blows things up,” and is haunted by dark dreams of an epic medieval battle and the armored specter of her deceased father.

Filmmaker Joe Sherlock AKA Dr. Squid has another kick ass update on what he’s been up to. Let’s here from the man himself!

“Another update on BEYOND THE WALL OF FEAR: I got back to editing on the “Curse of Pelican Bay” segment featuring Jackey Neyman Jones of MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE. I was excited to edit in scenes of Tom Griffith, who played the sheriff in two of my favorite Don Dohler movies, THE ALIEN FACTOR and NIGHTBEAST. Really happy with how this segment turned out. And do you know what? I also have genre legend George Stover in the film – THE man of Don Dohler and John Waters films! STOKED!

I also got a rough cut of the “Crazed” segment together. I threw together a page of the latest preview pics for both segments here:

Back when I started offering the ODD NOGGINS dvds, I put together a page of “Odd Packs,” combination of the movie, artwork, props, etc. just to make things interesting…and odd. Well one of the Odd Packs was “DINNER WITH MR. BIRCH,” where a short film would be made about someone having a dinner date with the oddball character from ODD NOGGINS, and would be posted online for all to see. Well, someone bought it and a couple of weekends ago I shot a very odd, very fun little short. I have it all put together save for a couple of effect shots, and will be posting it sometime in March, so stay tuned for details!

DRIFTER and BLOOD CREEK WOODSMAN are back in stock, with revised covers, even! Check ’em out here: 

Sounds like there are only a few copies of the limited edition big box VHS of ZOMBIE LOVE SLAVE/MONSTER IN THE GARAGE from Saturn’s Core Audio & Video – I was flattered they wanted to put this out; you can check out the details here: 

More soon! Stay scared!!

– Joe aka Dr. Squid!”

Ballet of Blood now available On Demand, DVD and VHS!

Ballet of Blood is now available to rent or own. You can also find the DVD on Amazon and if you’re lucky you’ll be able to snag a VHS tape off eBay. There are many different ways to add this rare piece of beautifully horrifying cinema to your collection, today. The motion picture won Audience Choice Award at the 2015 RIP International Horror Film Festival. It was also nominated for Best Acting Ensemble and Best Editing.

Synopsis: After years of emotional abuse and body shaming, two ballerina’s drug-fueled fantasy, of viciously attacking their ballet school, becomes reality. Meanwhile, a nerdy ballerina starts writing a novel based on the events that transpired, deeply offending some for turning such sensitive material into a book, for young audiences. Soon, her and her sister realize every word being typed is somehow altering real life. Will this strange and psychedelic paralleling fantasy carry the sisters, along with anyone else, to a merciless blood-splattered doom?

The film stars Sydney Ray, Jessica Knopf, Laura Amelia, Julia Faye West, Mindy Robinson, Walter Hochbrueckner – among many others.

Produced by Julia Faye West, Sydney Raye, Vera R. Taylor, Walter Hochbrueckner, John Gonatos, Mikko Tervonen, Michael Anthony and Bouvier. Production design by Mystic Marlow. Art Direction by Ryan Henneman. Sound by Jean-Paul Inesta, stills by Mark Rakocy, script editing by H. Raven Rose. Written and directed by Jared Masters.

Do you like behind the scenes photos from movies? Well over on facebook over 300 never before seen photos have been uploaded, giving the viewer a look behind the curtain of DEAD HUNT. This was the last horror thriller that Timewarp Films did before the untimely death of filmmaker Don Dohler in 2006.  The photos give a great account of a small Baltimore-based cast and crew putting together a professional suspense film. You can check out the pictures HERE, and you can buy this great film HERE!
