A while back we told you about a lawsuit concerning The Collingswood Story and Paranormal Activity 4. Today we reached out to director Mike Costanza for an update on that situation, but we got a whole lot more. Read on for details.
In terms of the lawsuit Costanza tells us, "This was a matter that was very important to me and I am pleased that the matter has been resolved amicably." That's very cool to hear, but what he dropped on us next was Extremely juicy...
"The fact remains that Collingswood was put on the map by the online horror community," says Costanza. "That's pretty damn cool considering the film had zero distribution at the time. Collingswood then screened at festivals like FrightFest in London, Fearless Tales in San Francisco, and won awards such as Best Indie Film and Best Cast.

LONDON -- Mo Claridge, U.K. home entertainment veteran and CEO of U.S.-owned Anchor Bay Entertainment U.K. Ltd., died Christmas Day from heart failure at age 54, the company said Wednesday. An industry stalwart since its inception in the early 1980s, Claridge had headed Anchor Bay's U.K. operation since 2001 when the U.S. company bought up Claridge's own Digital Entertainment Ltd. and appointed him chief executive. He had been the driving force at Anchor Bay and he and his team established the label as one of the leading independent brands in the home entertainment industry. Anchor Bay U.K. finance director Kaushik Bhagat said the company's staff were "all stunned by this terrible event." Added Bhagat: "We will miss Mo's leadership, warmth, good humor and generosity of spirit, all of which enabled us to create a vibrant and successful business." Claridge started out in the video industry in the 1980s with Intervision and was responsible for the hit video "Transformers -- The Movie". Via Video Gems in the 1990s, he established cult favorites such as the Russ Meyer and Troma catalogs in the U.K.
