Watching “Rapture-Palooza” on Netflix. A comedy, but with horror elements. They have shit talking crows and wraiths that smoke herb, so juggalos may take interest.

The Sacrament comes out today on i tunes and VOD

FYI the trailer for Leprechaun: Origins came out but it’s crap. Doesn’t show anything but screaming and grass fields…

Also, didn’t see it mentioned in the thread and it’s not “new” but I *LOVE* “Hobo With A Shotgun”!!!

It’s made to look like (and does so amazingly well) it came outta 1983 with all kinds of camera and color tricks, LOADED with crazy ultra-violence and some great quotes!

“When life gives you razor blades… you make a BAT WITH RAZOR BLADES!!!”

Leprechaun origins…

Musician-turned-director Rob Zombie has official announced his Halloween-themed horror 31, which turns out to be a crowd-sourced effort.

The film revolves around five people kidnapped in the days leading up to Halloween.

As with all crowd-sourced projects, there are different tiers that land backers different rewards, such as an autographed movie poster, autographed DVD, thanks in the credits, lifetime access to every Rob Zombie show, and more.

“Welcome to my next film. It is called ’31,’ ” states Zombie. “It is the story of five random people kidnapped on the five days leading up to Halloween and held hostage in a place called Murder World. While trapped inside this man-made Hell they must fight to survive playing the most violent game known to man… a game called 31.”

Here’s why he chose the crowd-source:

“I’m crowd funding because I realize that it’s an incredible opportunity to engage the fans. They’ve always been the most important thing for me because, with metal and horror, the fans aren’t just fans – it’s their life, their lifestyle. They live and breathe it, as I do, and any way that you can bring the people that are as passionate about it as you are into the process is a win-win for everybody.Get on board! Get involved! Be part of this horrifying business! The world of horror needs you!”

Eli Roth’s “THE GREEN INFERNO” Release Scrapped; Future Unsure

By now, horror fans are familiar with the release date shuffle that comes so naturally to the genre. While some films seem perpetually in flux or destined for a quiet VOD release, others are shelved at the last moment to take advantage of a more realized marketing push. However, in some rare cases a genre film hits that grey area between both reasons, baffling press, fans and executives alike.

According to Deadline, that might just be the case for Eli Roth’s first directorial effort in seven years, THE GREEN INFERNO. The hard-R cannibal flick, which was previously slated for a wide theatrical release on September 5th, has unexpectedly been pulled from Open Road’s release slate following financier Worldview Entertainment’s withdrawal of the film’s Publicity & Advertising budget. Deadline reports that behind-the-scenes talks are underway to determine the film’s future, whether it be a later theatrical release or possibly the limited release-plus-VOD plan which may be more viable.

From what can be seen, the shelving is not indicative of the film’s quality per se, but rather a matter of reassessing the costly deals made by Worldview ex-CEO Christopher Woodrow in the wake of his abrupt and unexplained departure from the company. In fact, THE GREEN INFERNO has received generally positive reviews for Roth, including from Fango’s Phil Brown.

Roth, who is currently on post-production on his next feature KNOCK KNOCK, has already taken to Twitter to address fans regarding the postponement. In fact, with the impending release of both the Roth-produced THE SACRAMENT and the Scream Factory Blu-ray of HEMLOCK GROVE, Open Road may be costing themselves free peripheral marketing. As of now, the fate of the film is unsure, but with a rating and pre-release buzz already secured, there’s little doubt that Open Road’s gory gamble will be available to horror fans sooner rather than later.

MetalHorrorGuitarWhat said
This is a cool thread but I’ll be totally honest… I have a hard time getting into horror that isn’t 197x or 198x.  I am a fan of the self-aware meta stuff that Wes Craven pioneered, like Scream, so I’m not impossible, but I am pretty weary of the current horror movie cliches like the dark filters and shaky cam stuff.  Interested to see hot RZ’s 31 turns out.

what you mean 197x or 198x?
