Two's company and three's a crowd--but four can soar! At least that's what the good folks at haRFMFul Productions, Sick Puppy Pictures, MOnsterworks66 and Lion Arch Productions believe as they prep a three-feature slate to shoot in Louisiana later this year or early in 2016!
Rycke Foreman (haRMFul), Phil Condit (Sick Puppy), Maria Olsen (MO66) and Lionel Archuleta (Lion Arch) are developing a slate of three horror-comedies for production in Louisiana and are presently attaching cast and finalizing budgets before approaching La. investors. The three films, Happy Ending, Hacked Off and Grizzled! (#Hehog) are all zany romps through HorCom Land featuring lovely ladies, buckets of blood, hunky heroes and terrifyingly funny Big Bads.
The films may all live in the same genre, but they each have their own special stamp of entertaining insanity:
Happy Ending is no stranger to MoreHorror fans who will remember that, at Madam Wang's House of Happy Ending...

Horror actor Bill Oberst Jr. has been in such thrilling films as A Haunting in Salem, Nude Nuns with Big Guns and The Devil Within . Now, this prolific actor has opened his own horror themed website which focuses on body horror, or scaring people with your physique: "Bill draws inspiration from the horror greats to use his face and body in disturbing ways on screen" (Oberst). He contorts in many disturbing ways in some of his more recent films such as Vivid. He has also opened up his X-mas buying gift shop which features one of the most bizarre items seen by 28Dla, a severed ear. There are also horror themed t-shirts and fans of horror cinema or of the actor will want to check out the new launch of his new site; the URL is below.

There’s nothing quite like the charm of a haunted house film – the skin-crawling sound design, the intricate ghost story, the cute family that grows increasingly unhinged – the vengeful spirit(s) that stalks them without reason. Sure, these classic staples have been done to death by now and every creaky floorboard or sludge-filled bathtub has been milked dry, but that loveable charm still remains, even in the worst of the bunch.
From the beginning, A Haunting In Salem demonstrates that it retains aforementioned charm with a killer opening, showcasing all the loveable aspects horror buffs have come to expect from the haunted house film. This opening is unsettling; it’s startling and best of all it’s an intriguing hook to reel you in for what’s to come. That’s all very well but the thing that I’m most interested in as both...

*full disclosure: a DVD screener of this film was provided by The Asylum.
Director: Shane Van Dyke.
Writers: H. Perry Horton.
Everyone needs a guilty pleasure and this reviewer enjoys an occasional The Asylum production. Their latest is called A Haunting in Salem and this title released on DVD October 4th and in a 3D Blu-Ray format as well. This horror title stars Bill Oberst Jr. (The Shunning), Gerald Webb and Courtney Abbiati in a mostly thrilling straight-to-video release. The film is loosely based on the Salem witch trials of 1692 and this film fan enjoyed the story, gore effects and musical score from composer Chris Ridenhour.
The film begins with three murders in under five minutes and clearly this is a film unafraid of restricted territory. The final scene in a series of shots involves a sheriff flying off of a two story roof to his death. Then, another sheriff...

‘Twas The Night Before Christmas: 2-Disc Deluxe Edition (1974)
Synopsis: For some unexplained reason, letters to Santa Claus are being returned to the children of Junctionville. It seems some resident has angered St. Nick by calling him “a fraudulent myth!” Skeptical Albert Mouse has to be brought to his senses “and let up a little on the wonder why.” How Albert is persuaded to change his tune paves the way for Santa’s jolly return to town – and the joyous finale of the animated fable inspired by Clement Moore’s poem and produced by the merrymaking conjures of Rankin/bass studios. The voice talents of Joel grey, Tammy Grimes, John McGiver and George Gobel make this festive fable even more fun. (highdefdigest.com)

The Asylum has actually been on a roll lately with the wonderfully ludicrous 2012: Ice Age and the surprisingly decent Born Bad. Will the streak continue with a 3D ghost flick, more monster sharks, and a mockbuster with the exact same title as its theatrical counterpart?
We begin with A Haunting in Salem 3D, the latest 3D haunted house movie from The Asylum following 2009’s Haunting of Winchester House, a film I found to be as boring as its 3D was useless. Hopefully they improved things in both categories.
When the new sheriff of Salem, Massachusetts discovers that he is the victim of a centuries-old curse, he must protect his family from the vengeful ghosts that torment his home.
Paranormal Entity and Titanic II helmer Shane Van Dyke directs Bill Oberst, Jr., Courtney Abbiati, Jenna Stone, and Nicholas Harsin from a script by H. Perry Horton.

The film from The Asylum and they are really churning this one out. It was filmed in 3D, and was in and out of post production within 10 weeks.

All of these actors are familiar with this creative and cutting edge production company and in the clip below supernatural madness takes place. From the script of H. Perry Horton, characters projectile vomit, or they fall from flights of stairs or, unbelievably, they awaken beside demons. All of this mayhem has to be seen to be believed. Look into a haunted house and into this trailer for A Haunting in Salem. Then, prepare for the DVD release October 4th!

Bill Oberst Jr. is the definition of “the horror actor”, the working actor doesn’t prefer anything outside of the horror genre and wouldn’t have it any other way. Oberst has some cool projects in the works including Vivid and Legend of the Red Reaper, he shares some stories about working on True Blood and MTV’s upcoming horror series Death Valley. The actor keeps busy for sure! Check out my latest Versus with Bill Oberst Jr. to learn more about this hard working cool actor.
Brian S- First off you've really been cranking out film projects since 2007. How'd you get into acting?
Bill Oberst Jr.- I was a bizarre-looking kid who loved monsters and the other kids made fun of me. I learned a useful equation: "If You Entertain People, They Will Not Hit You." So my whole career has pretty much been about trying to get people not to hit me.

Congrats! Also, what the hell is "stereography," you ask?
Stereography, an alleged "art," is a very complex method of creating stereoscopic imagery - or 3-D - for films. The official, technical description, is:
Quote:
Stereography uses a combination of capturing unique Left and Right eye images (Stereo Pairs), then displaying those images in a proportional and aligned composition, discretely to Only their correlating eye. Distance between cameras (Stereo Base), time frame between images captured (Sync/Phase), angle, skew, declination (Stereo Alignment), point of focus (Convergence) and Image Separation when viewing (InterOcular) all must be precisely designed to create successful Stereoscopic imagery. If any of these or any other minute details fail in capture or display, the human brain immediately, albeit subconsciously, recognizes that there is a problem, Being highly efficient, the brain tries to resolve the problem by filling in the missing data, just like it does for people every day,...

The folks over at The Asylum Studios are working on a new film called A Haunting In Salem, and we've got some exclusive set pictures for you to gander at below.
A Haunting In Salem is a feature film that is currently being shot in Los Angeles through the month of May. Another interesting note about this flick is that it's being shot in 3D. Release date is scheduled for late August on DVD.
Lead actor Nicholas Harsin plays the roll of Kyle, and told More Horror that "The script is very gritty (written by H. Perry Horton) and directed by horror vet Shane Van Dyke. The story is creepy as hell and is being shot old school, very few special effects, in a 200 year old mansion in Pasadena, CA.
