Recent years have seen a resurgance in the horror anthology, from the likes of V/H/S to The ABC’s of Death – both of which have inspired many a filmmaker to create their own anthology, to vary degrees of success. The latest to join the ranks is Zombieworld, a collection of 11 shorts, which was put together by Ruthless Pictures in association with horror website Dread Central. This film however has more in common with the “classic” 80s anthology film Groove Tube as TV newsreader Marvin Gloatt (played by the awesome Bill Oberst Jr.) – himself slowly turning into one of the undead...

Why Watch? A stagehand’s version of the 1950s and a dash of Twilight Zone flavoring, this short from Luke Asa Guidici delivers a cheerfully sinister story with a terrible tale at its core. Based on the story from Saki, it features a Gump-ish postman’s first day of work and the little girl who tells him about her family’s recent tragedy. It also features a few bottles of sarsaparilla, which are a fitting icon for a tone that’s as biting as it is refreshing. The tonal balancing act here is noteworthy because horror and comedy are difficult to port side-by-side even without camp, but this short gets away with a mile-high wink, some fear and a few cathartic laughs thanks to a bipolar imbalance created by its star. On that front, every aspect is strong, but the true standout is Rebecca Spicher taking her turn as a spritely, erudite...

As Halloween draws to a close for one more year, we here at Dread Central have two more seasonal short films to share with you: Eric England's The Trick or Treater and Erin Stegeman's Meet the Tweeds, both of which are co-produced by Ace Marrero along with each respective director.
Ace co-stars in The Trick or Treater with Katie Stegeman (he also appears in England's Madison County, which just premiered at the recently concluded Screamfest La film festival). Bradley Scott Sullivan edited and did the short's titles and sound work.
The Trick or Treater features Marrero as a man who gets tricked when he doesn't deliver his treats.
Ace explained to us that the original plan was to produce three shorts for Halloween to help celebrate one of his favorite times of the year, but Screamfest demanded so much attention they could only make the two.

For the opening night event on Oct. 13, Spooky Movie proves its international flair with the over-the-top Japanese zombie gorefest and action flick Helldriver, directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura, which will have two screenings, one for the early birds at 7:00 p.m. and one for the late-night crowd at 10:00 p.m.
