Schedule first-ever East Coast appearance by Lucio Fulci leading lady Catriona MacColl at the Chiller Theatre Expo, October 24-26, in Parsippany, NJ

With the impending October 28th DVD re-release of Lucio Fulci’s 1981 masterwork THE BEYOND, Grindhouse Releasing and Paura Productions decided what better way to promote this landmark in EuroHorror cinema than invite the film’s heroine – the stunning Catriona MacColl – to meet the hordes of rabid Fulci fanatics at one of the largest cult conventions in America. The Chiller Theatre Expo in Parsippany, New Jersey (www.chillertheatre.com) will host the British rose October 24-26, the weekend prior to the DVD’s street date (a limited number of advance copies will be available at MacColl’s table). Kevin Clement, the show’s Producer, states, “I’m delighted that the lovely Catriona will be making her first East Coast convention appearance at Chiller this October! Our film savvy fans will surely enjoy this rare appearance and will eat her up like a Fulci zombie!”

From the director of The Last Horror Movie comes Summer Scars:

This confrontational coming-of-age thriller is a haunting look into the destruction of innocence and the depths of fear. When a gang of raucous teens play hooky in the woods, they cross paths with a mysterious drifter. Preying on their adolescent curiosity and naiveté, the sadistic vagabond easily wins them over only to inflict humiliating and torturous mind games with a rusty switchblade and a gun. Trembling and desperate, these kids realize that their only chance at survival is to embrace the darkness within and fight back with some wicked games of their own.

Dark Sky Films presents THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE in BLU RAY !

It has been called “grisly,” “sick,” and “perverse," as well as “raw,” “unshakeable,” and “the movie that redefined horror.” It was attacked by churches, banned by governments, and acclaimed by only the bravest of critics. It stunned audiences worldwide and set a new standard in movie terror forever. In 1974, writer-producer-director Tobe Hooper unleashed this dark, visionary tale about a group of five young friends who face a nightmare of torment at the hands of a depraved Texas clan. Today it remains unequaled as a landmark of outlaw filmmaking and unparalleled in its impact as perhaps the most frightening motion picture ever made. Available for the first time ever on Blu-ray!

COMING SEPT. 30TH!!!! also that day:

DRIVE IN DOUBLE FEATURE: ISLAND FURY/BARRACUDA
Island Fury: While visiting a remote island with friends, two young girls discover a cache of mob money, as well as a clan of bloodthirsty cannibals who pick off the vacationers one by one. The girls manage to escape but are kidnapped years later by wiseguys hell-bent on getting back their loot. Also more notoriously known as Please Don't Eat the Babies, this strange shocker was one of the last horror films from independent producer Mardi Rustam (Eaten Alive, Evils of the Night). Barracuda: The quaint seaside town of Palm Cove is home to upstanding citizens, good ol' fashioned southern hospitality, and a deadly rash of barracuda attacks. The town sheriff (William Kerwin, Blood Feast, Scum of the Earth) and a young marine biologist (Wayne Crawford, God's Bloody Acre) join forces to discover that the culprits are none other than the local chemical plant and its odious managers. Produced in the wake of Jaws, this homegrown "regional" film is equal parts horror and suspense, with industrial-government conspiracy themes predating those of The X-Files and Halloween III.

Oh mio dio! Evil will be redefined this year by the much anticipated horror film, MOTHER OF TEARS, which arrives on unrated DVD September 23rd. Genius Products and The Weinstein Company introduce another gem under the Dimension Extreme label – the final installment from “The Three Mothers” trilogy by the infamous Italian director Dario Argento.

Set in Rome, Italy, an unassuming American art student accidentally resurrects a wicked witch, Mater Lachrymarum, from her grave and awakens the city to utter turmoil and destruction. In order to restore peace and put an end to this evil power for good, the student must use her own supernatural abilities to save the city from Mater Lachrymarum’s wrath.

MOTHER OF TEARS is one of the most intense films from Argento’s amazing body of work. He brings to it his renowned cinematic style and unique approach to thrill and terror. Argento’s reputation as the “Italian Hitchcock” is no way an exaggeration - the admiration he has earned by great directors such as Brian DePalma and George A. Romero, proves that he not only develops a special beauty in his work but he also brings new meaning and insight to this genre.
