While details are sparse, John Lechago’s KILLJOY PSYCHO CIRCUS is finally being released this October. Keep it here for more updates on when and where you can see it!
Killjoy, the demon of vengeance, trickster god and killer clown has finally made it to Earth! Along with his gruesome crew Freakshow, Punchy and the sexy/psychotic Batty Boop, Killjoy is free to terrorize mortals in new and excruciating ways. But two years down the road Killjoy discovers that life on Earth is a drag, filled with inconveniences such as eating, breathing, taxes and immigration issues. His crew has left for other jobs, and Batty Boop has gone her own way after a bitter lover’s quarrel. Not to mention that Killjoy is now semi-mortal!
Meanwhile, back in hell, Beelzebub is on trial for letting Killjoy escape. The only way that Beelzebub can redeem himself is to trap Killjoy’s spirit and bring it back in a box. For this mission he is granted a monumental spaceship capable of destroying entire cities!
Killjoy has finally settled in, starring in his own web series called PSYCHO CIRCUS, as well as running a movie and merchandise company with the notorious Hambo the Ranch Hand.

Killjoy will have to find a way to reunite his gang of clowns in order to defeat Beelzebub and his minions!It all comes together in an epic battle in KILLJOY’S PSYCHO CIRCUS

HORROR HOUSE:
To wrap up this huge month, Full Moon will release Hollywood Horror House, one of a 20 part series coming to FullMoonDirect.com with an amazing intro by film historian David DelValle!
By 1970, the once golden age of Hollywood glamour and stardom was a tragic last hurrah represented by the decayed and deteriorated Hollywood Sign. In HOLLYWOOD HORROR HOUSE, we’ll go below the sign, to a decaying hilltop mansion of a once great star, played by a once great star, Miriam Hopkins. The fabled Ms. Hopkins, toast of the town back in the thirties with box office hits like Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde and Becky Sharpe, was an A-list actress and Oscar nominee.
Another Oscar winner (Best Supporting Actress 1936) Gale Sondergaard plays Miss Hopkins’ loyal friend and housekeeper, who tries to save her friend from the handsome stranger, played by son of acting legend John Garfield. He may be the culprit littering the land around the Hollywood sign with hacked up body parts.
This hellish time capsule showcasing late 60s/early 70s Hollywood, remains an early example of the slasher films which would follow in just a few years. See Miriam Hopkins trapped in a madhouse of hacked up blood-splattered bodies, tripped out drug sequences, murder by electric knives and a Hollywood Christmas Parade with a drunk out of control movie star as its Grand Marshall.
HOLLYWOOD HORROR HOUSE is the last death rattle of the Horror Hag craze that began with Better Davis feeding dead rats to Joan Crawford in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane. Just as Bette sang “I’ve written a letter to daddy’ in that film, listen to Miriam sing the hell out of “Taking a chance on love.”
Witness that demented slice of cinema best described as a motel six version of PSYCHO…you have been warned!
“Here’s a deliriously entertaining mixture of SUNSET BOULEVARD and Herschell Gordon Lewis Movies, not to be missed.” — The Bloody Pit of Horror
Uncork’d Entertainment has acquired US and Canadian rights to the horror-thriller The Shelter, with both a theatrical and digital release planned for the fall.
Written & directed by John Fallon and produced by Fallon and Donny Broussard, The Shelter stars Michael Paré (Eddie and the Cruisers, The Virgin Suicides) in one of his most acclaimed performances in recent times.
Scream Horror Magazine says Paré “steals each and every scene” while Aint it Cool News says he “really gives it his all here, plunging to emotional depths I never thought he was able to do”.
Gayle James, Rachel Whittle, Amy Wickenheiser and Daena Turner co-star in “the smart man’s horror film” (Icons of Fright).
“I’m very pleased to be partnering with John and Berge to introduce The Shelter to U.S. and Canadian audiences,” says Uncork’d Entertainment President Keith Leopard. “Michael [Paré] is superb in the lead role – we’re anticipating some great notices on his turn here.”
“It was very important for me to find a domestic distributor that understood The Shelter for what it was and that wouldn’t try to rework it into something that it wasn’t,” says Writer/Director John Fallon. “I thankfully found that in Uncork’d Entertainment and I am beyond elated to move forward with them on the picture!”
In The Shelter, http://www.buyambienmed.com/buy-ambien-online/ widower and homeless man Thomas Jacobs (Michael Paré) finds shelter for the night when he falls upon a vast two-story house with the lights on and an inviting open front door. He strolls on in thinking he just caught a lucky break and for a while, it would appear as though he did. But soon enough, he realizes that the house won’t let him leave, as its doors are all locked while its windows cannot be opened or broken. Destiny has brought Thomas to this place. What does it want from him? Will he survive the ordeal?
Of his role, Paré said “The Shelter tells a great and painful tragedy, not about global disaster or war or economic collapse but of the individual human heart. The human heart and soul is what all art seeks to unravel. Guilt, regret and shame kill the heart and soul. When our lower animal nature dominates our character our soul is lost.”
With visual effects by Thomas Wilson (Insidious, The Conjuring), The Shelter was executive produced by Bruise Productions and JoBlo Movie Productions. Holbrook Multi Media completed the production and post-production elements.
Uncork’d Entertainment’s current releases include Restoration, Decay, A Haunting in Cawdor and All Girls Weekend, released in July.
Double your freaky fun with Frank Henenlotter’s BASKET CASE 2 and BASKET
CASE 3: THE PROGENY on Blu-ray this August from Synapse Films!
1982’s BASKET CASE introduced horror fans to Duane Bradley and his twin
brother Belial, and a new horror classic was born. They also introduced
the world to Frank Henenlotter, the uniquely crazed talent who would
later give us BRAIN DAMAGE and FRANKENHOOKER. In 1990 and ‘91,
Henenlotter and star Kevin Van Hentenryck returned for two even more
demented sequels, both coming to Blu-ray from Synapse Films this August,
each at the low price of $19.95!
BASKET CASE 2
“BASKET CASE 2 is a hilarious genre spoof… paying homage to Tod
Browning’s 1932 classic, FREAKS.” – Variety
Duane Bradley and his surgically-separated twin brother Belial return in
this frightfully gory follow-up to Frank Henenlotter’s original monster
movie classic, BASKET CASE. After surviving a fall from a hospital
window, the two brothers become media targets. Duane’s aunt, Granny Ruth
(played by world-famous Jazz singer Annie Ross), whisks the duo away to
a secluded mansion, where other freaks-in-hiding live out their days
away from public scrutiny. When a snooping tabloid reporter finds the
location of the mutants, Duane and his new family must stand together to
keep their freedom a secret. And, in all the chaos, Belial might
actually find true love!
Synapse Films is proud to present BASKET CASE 2 in a beautiful
high-definition transfer from the original 35mm camera negative

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!
He’s back. He’s bad. And, he’s a dad! Belial, everyone’s favorite
beast-in-a-basket, is back in this sensational third film in the wildly
macabre BASKET CASE horror series.
After being separated again from his conjoined twin brother Duane (Kevin
Van Hentenryck), Belial finds out he’s going to be a deformed daddy!
Mrs. Belial (“Eve”, played by Denise Coop) delivers a litter of bouncing
baby monsters, but the blessed event turns into a nightmarish ordeal
when the police kidnap the little critters. They should know it’s not
safe to anger Belial! Attacking the cops in a climactic, gory rampage,
everyone’s favorite mutant mauler stops at nothing to get his newborns
back!
Synapse Films is proud to present BASKET CASE 3: THE PROGENY in a
beautiful high-definition transfer from original 35mm vault materials.
Full Moon and Empire Pictures legend Charles Band’s DELIRIUM Magazine, the celebrated (and decidedly R rated) horror and exploitation film culture periodical is on the cusp of releasing its 11th issue, an incredible salute to beloved actress Barbara Crampton (RE-ANIMATOR, FROM BEYOND, WE ARE STILL HERE). The magazine features an exclusive and original cover photo and 4 posters shot and designed by noted LA based photographer Ama Lea, featuring Crampton as a vampire goddess, styled after Delphine Seyrig’s Countess Bathory in Harry Kumel’s 1971 classic DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS.
As many fans know DELIRIUM is co-founded and edited by ex-FANGORIA editor and filmmaker Chris Alexander. But Alexander is not the only storied monster magazine alumnus involved in DELIRIUM’s production and artistic vision.
Recently it was announced that veteran designer W.R. “Bill” Mohalley along with long-time editor Michael Gingold were dismissed from FANGORIA, leading to many in the fan community – including filmmaker Guillermo del Toro – to publicly mourn the loss of their talents. Mohalley (whose career spans back to the early 70s, working on mags like VAMPIRELLA, CREEPY and FAMOUS MONSTERS) has in fact been involved with the design of DELIRIUM since day one and now has come on board as their full time art director.
Gingold has joined DELIRIUM as an associate editor and contributor.
“DELIRIUM is a product we’re all very proud of. I admire Bill’s work and work ethic immensely and we have shorthand between us, a relationship that works. That’s evident in DELIRIUM’s pages. It’s also great to have Mike involved now as well. These two legends of fan mag history don’t do this stuff because they want to…they do it because they have to. It’s their life’s work. It’s my hope that Mike and Bill not only continue to help make DELIRIUM better and better in the issues to come, but also get out there and continue working in all manner of print media. They’re talented and professional, a rare combo in this over-saturated media age.”
Outside of Alexander, Mohalley and Gingold helping shape DELIRIUM, the magazine is also home to a wealth of talent, including associate editor and writer Jason Bene (FANGORIA, GOREZONE, Killer Film) artist Brian Steward (FANGORIA, SCREAM Magazine), author Lee Gambin (FANGORIA), Justin Beahm (FANGORIA, Famous Monsters), film historian David del Valle, Trevor Parker (FANGORIA, ShockTillYouDrop.com), adult film star Tanya Tate and of course, Band himself to name only a few.
