Richard Christy is best-known as a member of the Howard Stern gang, but he’s also a die-hard horror fan/journalist and occasional actor in genre flicks (his scary screen credits include Albino Farm and the upcoming Booley). Now he’s bringing his love of all things frightening to TV with Richard Christy’S Holiday Horror Fest this weekend, and we’ve got exclusive photos and the poster to share.

After Dark Films has really been making a splash since they came on the scene a couple of years ago with the first Horror Fest. Now, with a partnership with SyFy Channel, they are bringing us 8 more horror films with After Dark Originals.

Now that After Dark Originals is getting closer to release, and the company sent along a new pic of the nasty scarecrow from one of the flicks, Husk.

Husk, written and directed by Brett Simmons and based on his same-titled short film, is about a group of friends on a road trip who crash their car after a murder of crows fly into their windshield. Seeking help at a farmhouse surrounded by a desolate cornfield, they’re soon being hunted by an evil presence haunting the area. Devon Graye (teenage Dexter), Wes Chatham (W.), Cj Thomason (Harper’s Island) and Tammin Sursok (Albino Farm) star.

Before we get to the new auctions, here's a little info on Micheline:

While working for Pinup Girl Clothing, Micheline Pitt discovered that there was nothing out there in the way of alternative clothing lines that truly excited her. Sure, there were lots of great things, but nothing that suited her ideas. Thus, "Deadly Dames" was born! Micheline decided to join forces with her boss and now business partner Laura Byrnes of Pinup Girl Clothing. Micheline wanted to make clothes for every girl, and "Deadly Dames is what happens when you mix doll clothes with '50s sex kittens and, well, possibly John Waters... My clothes are...

This writer is asking the horror community as we approach October – our month of months – to unite for a good cause: to support local Los Angeles women battling breast cancer by giving a small donation and also support the horror actresses who are supporting them.

For the last couple of years I've been involved directly with Bowling for Boobies (a non-profit fundraiser which provides monetary assistance to L.A. women who are experiencing financial challenges as the result of fighting and living with breast cancer). It's been a vastly rewarding experience as the money Bfb generates goes directly to someone struggling with this deadly disease, Not some ambiguous research society.

Actress/model Bianca Barnett is young starlet on the rise. Not only does she have breath taking beauty but she has the brains to match, she beat me in Scrabble, Solataire and Uno. From the cult hit Albino Farm, to Michael Colburn's highly anticipated The Toy Box , to the upcoming The Cthulthu Key: Legacy and everything in between including a rumored action figure (thanks to yours truly) of her cult character "Pig Bitch", she is indeed making her mark. Check out my latest "Versus" as we get to know Bianca Barnett a little better.

Brian S- Hi Bianca, you were in one of my guilty pleasure movies called Albino Farm. Please tell me a little about this movie and the character you play? Share with me and the fans!

This is another project I've followed from it's beginning. Today we have the press release on Jason Heath's The Cthulhu Key: Legacy for you and somebody please tell me how to pronounce this correctly. The film has a great cast including a lot of whom I consider the "Next Gen" of horror.

From the Press Release:

The debut horror film from Jason Heath is in production with a scheduled Fall 2010 release.

Read on as they share their feelings of this film, the impact it'll have on other victims of similar crimes, how important the message is and on a slightly lighter note how I begged to be cast in the sequel.

Popskull director Adam Wingard is a big favorite around these parts, a natural talent with a  remarkable ability to manipulate mood and tone and not just function on impossibly small budgets but to actually excel in that world. That said, fans have long been waiting for Wingard to have the chance to make a film for more than the cost of a morning coffee and that time may well be now.  I've been hearing rumblings about Wingard's new feature A Horrible Way To Die for a while now and not only is the film now official, it's already underway. Details below.

A.J. Bowen ("The House of the Devil"), Amy Seimetz ("Alexander the Last") and Joe Swanberg ("Nights and Weekends") will star in director Adam Wingard's upcoming thriller, "A Horrible Way To Die".  Written by Simon Barrett ("Dead Birds"), the story follows an escaped murderer in pursuit of his...

Produced by Travis Stevens, Simon Barrett, and Kim Sherman, the film is currently shooting in Columbia, Missouri with Mike Strain (Albino Farm) of Fantasy Creations FX handling the special effects and make-up.

Wingard’s previous film, Pop Skull, won the Jury Award at the Boston Underground Film Festival...

Whereas audiences may usually expect a film festival to be comprised solely of artsy dramas and foreign films, Albino Farm is a breath of fresh air as one of three horror films that spice up the Sliff lineup this year. The film was written and directed by Joe Anderson and Sean McEwen. The story follows four college students who venture deep into the Ozark mountains to research a school cultural project. When a flat tire leaves them stranded in a small backwoods town, their adventurous spirit and lack of respect and maturity lead them directly into danger from a secret society of deranged and sadistic redneck religious freaks.

The cast of unsuspecting college students includes four staples of the slasher genre, including Brian (Nick Richey) the Seann William Scott style smart mouth guy along with Sanjay (Sunkrish Bala) the straight guy, in this case along the vein of Kal Penn,...

It’s only the second week of October, but here at Fangoria Radio, we like to start celebrating Halloween in advance. And tonight’s show, hosted by Debbie Rochon, Dee Snider and Fango managing editor Michael Gingold (airing live on Sirius Xm Stars satellite radio, Sirius channel 108/Xm channel 139, from 10 p.m.-1 a.m. Est, with a repeat immediately thereafter), has a host of top guests to help spread the chill:

• With very little money and a very creepy concept, director Oren Peli has created quite an on-line sensation with his debut feature Paranormal Activity, and he’ll join us as it spreads into more theaters today

• One of our favorite regular guests,...

The Albino Farm in the film is simply a name given to a small country town’s deep dark secret that they would rather keep in the past. Technically there aren’t really any albinos or even really a farm. However, we do get “unnatural” creatures kept in a secluded location, to keep them from conflicting with the town’s attempt to present an image of normalcy both in looks and behaviors.

When ghouls run amok, the safest place to be is with Fangoria Radio. Tonight’s show, hosted by Debbie Rochon, Dee Snider and Fango managing editor Michael Gingold (airing live on Sirius Xm Stars satellite radio, Sirius channel 108/Xm channel 139, from 10 p.m.-1 a.m. Est, with a repeat immediately thereafter), features experts on the finer points of battling the undead and the semihuman:

Ryan Nicholson of Plotdigger Films gave Fango the first look at the DVD cover art for his extreme gruefest Hanger (pictured), now set to hit disc November 17 from the new Breaking Glass company on their Vicious Circle genre label. He also informed us of his plans for an official release of his underground Internet flick Torched, and passed on the art for that one as well.

Hanger stars Nathan Dashwood, Dan Ellis and Fangoria Radio’s Debbie Rochon and centers on the revenge for a botched abortion meted out by the grown-up object of that operation; we previously revealed the specs for the DVD here. Torched, previously available only on bootleg or edited discs, is fully restored on Plotdigger’s DVD, which comes out Nov. 24. The bloody saga of a nurse giving fiery payback to those who raped her will be presented in 16x9-enhanced widescreen with Dolby 5.1 Surround and 2.0 stereo soundtracks,...

I should probably hate Albino Farm; the Mti Home Video release has all the ingredients of irritatingly shallow horror. Yet as hard as I try to push it away, I have to embrace it. I should make a disclaimer before we continue: I have a perhaps irrational enthusiasm for the foolish-travelers-meet-awesome-looking-mutants-who-eat-people subgenre. From The Hills Have Eyes to Wrong Turn 2…I love ’em all. When I learned I was being assigned a film called Albino Farm, my eyes lit up with childlike wonder.

I was disappointed. Yet I was not entirely let down.

Joe Anderson and Sean McEwen wrote/directed/produced this tragic tale of four stereotypically ignorant college kids with distinct horror personality types. Stacey (Australian star Tammin Sursok) is the kind-hearted All-American girl. Melody (Alicia Lagano) is the foul-mouthed tough chick; her apparent boyfriend Brian (Nick Richey) is the obnoxious frat-boy jerk. Sanjay (Sunkrish Bala) is the...

Mti Home Video's Albino Farm arrives on DVD September 22, 2009. The movie stars WWE's Chris Jericho, Richard Christy, Sunkrish Bala, Alicia Lagano, Nick Richey, Kevin Spirtas, Bianca Barnett and Duane Whitaker. An Ozark Mountain town - with a century-old history of religious fanaticism - has inadvertently created a modern sadistic society full of in-bred misfits who prey on stray travelers. Four young college students - lured in to explore the legend of the Albino Farm - uncover its disturbing past while enduring a horrific night of horrors.

Horror cinema has for some time mined folklore for inspiration, whether it be Eastern Europe’s belief in vampirism or Mexico’s love affair with the goat-sucking chupacabra. American filmmakers Sean McEwen and Joe Anderson, whose feature Albino Farm hits DVD September 22 from Mti Home Video, followed suit in crafting their backwoods fright feature.

“One of the original ideas we kept coming back to,” McEwen tells Fango on the set, “was based on an actual legend specific to southern Missouri and the Ozarks about the ‘albino farm.’ There was a good foundation for a story, but it definitely needed a lot of meat put on its bones, which also gave us the opportunity to really take the creative ball and run with it.”

To help explain the urban legend from which the film’s storyline is derived (while driving to southern Missouri on a “travel day” following the previous evening’s lightning strike,...

Halo-8 Entertainment has unveiled the DVD box art for its upcoming film In a Spiral State, the metaphysical, psychedelic, drug-addled sci-fi/horror film directed by award-winning filmmaker Ramzi Abed. The film comes to DVD on September 29th and is now available for pre-order.

The special features will include:

- Audio commentary by award-winning filmmaker Ramzi Abed, co-creator Ken Cravens, and co-producer Eric Fleming

Got news?...

After Dark Films has a spotty record at best with regard to both its annual "8 Films to Die For" festival and its few forays into producing original content. However, we have to admit the storyline for Adf's upcoming creature feature Husk sounds pretty damn intriguing, and the cast they've assembled isn't too shabby either.

According to The Hollywood Reporter Devon Graye (pictured), best known for playing the teenage Dexter on Showtime's "Dexter," will co-star in Husk with C.J. Thomason, Wes Chatham, and the previously signed Tammin Sursok. Brett Simmons wrote the script and is directing the project, which is based on his 2005 short film of the same name. (Check out its trailer below.)

The story sees five friends on a weekend trip who become stranded in isolated farmland when crows attack their SUV. They soon realize that the cornfields are inhabited by reanimated human scarecrows who reproduce by killing and...

A few months ago filmmaker Ramzi Abed provided us with several stills and a teaser for his upcoming metaphysical, psychedelic, drug-addled sci-fi/horror film In a Spiral State, which is being released by cutting edge studio Halo-8 Entertainment; and today we were pointed in the direction of the flick's official trailer.

The eclectic cast of In a Spiral State includes the late Gidget Gein (of shock-rock band Marilyn Manson), Bianca Barnett (Albino Farm, review), Elissa Dowling (Dread, review), Juliana Fine (the upcoming Goa), Ofri Fuchs (Twisted), Adam Meir (Waltz with Bashir), Mae Moreno (Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down), Messy Stench (of Gwar), and Lizzy Strain (The Devil's Muse, review).

"Ramzi Abed's new film is a mindbending meditation on Hollywood self-destruction, angelic interventions, and psychedelic string theory," said Matt Pizzolo, President of Halo-8. "Ramzi has pushed the creative and dramatic envelope even farther than he did in his surrealist The Devil's Muse,...

The December DVD release of End Game sees the continuation of the grand tradition of casting pro wrestlers and reality television contestants in starring film roles. Olympic gold medal winning amateur wrestler turned professional wrestler Kurt Angle stars as a psycho-sexual serial killer stalking a stripper played by "Survivor: Amazon" winner Jenna Morasca. I can assure you it is every bit as good as it sounds.

Quite a run for pro wrestlers in genre films of late. Last month brought us the horror comedy Dark Rising with WWE's Christian and this month will see the release of Albino Farm co-starring WWE's Chris Jericho. Now Tna's Kurt Angle joins the fray as a master of disguise serial killer stalking a stripper while playing mind games against the cop hot on his trail.
