What makes you afraid? The masterminds behind Fear, Inc. probably know. The new poster for the upcoming film tops this Horror Highlights. Also: world premiere details for Jennifer Blanc-Biehn's The Girl and Destination America's Paranormal Lockdown Halloween special, info on the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival lineup, and details on the Indiegogo campaign for the short film Mannequins.
New Official Poster for Fear Inc.: "What if there was a company you could call that, for a premium, will bring your fears to life. You don’t have to leave your house, your office, or your vacation; the scares are customized to your tastes and arrive at your doorstep when you least expect it. But like texting an ex at 2 a.m., what sounds like a great idea at the time, can end up getting you killed.

The moors of Yorkshire turned red with blood this weekend as the first ever HorrorCon took place at the Magna Science Adventure Centre this weekend in Rotherham.
Guests in attendance – signing autographs and giving talks – included Leatherface himself, Gunnar Hansen (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre); Dacre Stoker (great-grand nephew of Bram Stoker); Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead); artist Tom Hodge, aka The Dude Designs; Hammer Horror stars Caroline Munro and Martine Beswick; Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) and the legend that is SFX god Tom Savini (The Burning, Night of the Living Dead)
But HorrorCon was not just about the guests – there were plenty of activities taking place over the weekend too. Including the likes of The Pit – a “walk through event” that scared the bejesus out of all those that dare take part; the Cabinet of Curiosity, a display of weird and wonderful delights the was billed as “not...

Glasgow-based company Shining Example Films and award-winning writer/director Andy Stewart (Dysmorphia, Split, Ink) are have announced that pre-production has begun on their final short horror film, Redacted. And I’m fucking excited for it. Besides being a Huge fan of Stewart’s three previous shorts, his latest short is set star Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede 2 & 3, The Editor) and Tristan Risk (American Mary, The Editor, The ABC’s of Death) – yes, two of the biggest names in horror right now!
While on an afternoon hike, an unimposing Man stumbles upon a humanoid creature with alluring female qualities. While fearful and in apparent need of assistance, The Creature oozes sexuality and danger but it is unclear where the danger really lies… Redacted is an exploration of the darker side of human nature when confronted with something strange and otherworldly.

It’s only been two years since writer-turned-director Andy Stewart unleashed his first short film Dysmorphia on an unsuspecting public. The first in his proposed “Reflections” trilogy, that film was an impressive body-horror short that dealt with loss and mental illness. He followed that up with Split earlier this year; again another superb short film that dealt with one man’s [extreme] reaction to loss – only for his second film Stewart upped the ante in terms of gory special effects thanks to the folks at Grant Mason FX. Well Stewart, his producing partners – Chris Goldie and Gordon Holliday – and Grant Mason FX, return for the third and final film in the trilogy, Ink.
Somewhat of a departure for Stewart’s trilogy, Ink does not feature a central character dealing with loss.

Andy Stewart, director of the two fantastic short films Dysmorphia and Split, has just completed shooting on the third film in his body horror trilogy. Entitled Ink, the movie is the story of a man who takes the path of least resistance (and cost) in an attempt to turn his body into a work of art…
Check out the teaser trailer below and expect the full short in late Summer 2014.
Produced by Gordie Holliday & Chris Goldie for Shining Example Films, alongside Austin Hayden for 21st Century Renaissance Man, “Ink” stars Sammy Hayman as “The Man” and features cinematography by BAFTA winner Alan McLaughlin and FX by “Split” make-up designer Grant Mason (Sleepy Hollow, Nightbreed, Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Bride of Chucky). “Ink” promises to be the perfect accompaniment to Andy’s previous films. Promotional materials will be designed by the guys at Custom Inc. Tattoo Studio in Glasgow.

It was two years ago when I first saw blogger-turned-filmmaker Any Stewart’s short Dysmorphia, his superb take on the body-horror genre pioneered by the likes of David Cronenberg. Since then we’ve had the likes of Éric Falardeau’s Thanatomorphose – a feature length look at the physical breakdown of the human body - and now comes Stewart’s Split.
I was a huge fan of Dysmorphia, so I was eager to see what Andy Stewart would bring to the screen for the second “act” of his three film body-horror trilogy. Even more so considering this was set to be more of a grotesque effects-filled story (perhaps Stewart’s homage to Cronenberg’s The Fly remake?)
Guess what? I wasn’t disappointed.
Now I can’t go further without first mentioning Thanatomorphose. That film totally blew me away – director...

Adriana Polito, one of the producers of the superb body horror short Dysmorphia, turns her hand to writing and directing with the horror comedy She Wolf of the Woods, which follows forest ranger Amy as she goes about her day-to-day business in a small Scottish village – which just happens to include burying evidence of crimes in the woods and picking up strangers in local bars!
One such (un)lucky stranger is Ben, an American looking to trace his Scottish routes, who is picked up by Amy and taken back to her place for what he thinks will be a night of quick and easy sex. But what he doesn’t bargain on is Lucille, Amy’s room mate – who just happens to be a werewolf!
She Wolf of the Woods was originally intended...

The Bradford International Film Festival is typically an underground-friendly fest. This year appears to be no exception with two very special experimental film retrospectives, as well as a few modern underground-type flicks.
The 19th annual Biff will roll on April 11-21 at several locations around Bradford and Leeds in England, including the National Media Museum, Hebden Bridge Picture House, Hyde Park Picture House and other venues.
Biff is hosting a tribute to Stan Brakhage this year by screening the prolific filmmaker’s magnum opus, Dog Star Man, as well as a selection of his short films, from 1963′s legendary Mothlight to 1994′s Black Ice. There’s also going to be an epic-sized tribute/retrospective of experimental films from Austria, a country with a proud avant-garde filmmaking tradition that’s typically overlooked.
From Austria, Biff is, of course, screening two works from one of the experimental film world’s biggest masters,...

Dysmorphia
Stars: Gordon Holliday | Written and Directed by Andy Stewart
Dysmorphia (noun): a type of mental illness, a somatoform disorder, wherein the affected person is concerned with body image, manifested as excessive concern about and preoccupation with a perceived defect of their physical features.
Frightfest is a wonderful thing. Besides seeing great movies, meeting old friends and chatting with filmmakers and actors in attendance, the event also affords you the opportunity to meet new people; and I did just that this year, introducing myself to Andy Stewart, writer for Scream magazine and owner of horror website AndyErupts.com. Little did I know then that chatting with Andy at Frightfest would lead to me reviewing his short film Dysmorphia – a film that, for the first time in a very long time, actually made me look away from the screen in squeamishness.
It’s a simple set-up: one man, played by actor Gordon Holliday,...
