Head here for all the details. Visit the official forum for The Facility for the latest info on this upcoming DVD release.

Free In London Tonight?

Looking for something to do in London this evening? Don’t miss out the chance to see Let’s Scare Jessica To Death on the big screen tonight at the ICA with Cigarette Burns. Teaming up with FAB press in celebration of their book, House of Psychotic Women.

A shining example of the creeping dread which infused the finest genre films of the 70s, Let’s Scare Jessica to Death places Zohra Lambert as the titular character, a fragile woman recovering from a recent stint in a mental institution. Whisked away to a labyrinthine house on a remote apple farm with her husband and his best friend, her head filled with unnerving local legends of murder and vampires, Jessica’s slender grasp on sanity is to put to the test once again as transient hippie Emily decides to stay with them at the farmhouse. Her striking resemblance to a murdered girl who once lived on the property, eerie visions, terrifying locals and bodies in the lake all combine to push Jessica ever closer to the edge, with disastrous consequences.

Introduced by the writer of this book, this must-see 1970s classic will be shown on 35mm. Don’t miss this! For more, click me.
Spartacus: War Of The Damned
This week marked the very sad final to the fantastic series Spartacus: War Of The Damned. Recently argued by The Telegraph as being a better show than Game Of Thrones, Spartacus is an absolute must – filled with gore, sex, war and tension to a cinematic level.Out in a couple of weeks is the show on DVD/Blu-ray. You simply need this in your collection!
The Collection
Speaking of collections,  are you excited about the upcoming new horror film, The Collection? From the guys who created the Saw franchise, The Collection is easily one of the most manic and violent slasher films I’ve seen in a very long time. Just take a look at the film’s incredible body count…

The Lords Of Salem
All Hell is about to break loose on Monday with the new horror film from Rob Zombie. With as much genius style as Dario Argento and Stanley Kubrick at their peaks, Zombie has outdone himself with this soon-to-be classic horror film. Satan and his coven of crones have returned to Salem with a reunion album! Unlike Take That, this song will posses your soul and turn you to the Lord Of Darkness! Visit the official forum for all the details.
Dare you listen and summon up Lucifer?

The Lords Of Salem
