<p>Husband-and-wife filmmaking duo Sashia Dumont and Paul Robinson have taken home the coveted Best Horror Short award for their film The Resonance at the Astoria Film Festival. The festival, which took place at the iconic Kaufman Astoria Studio in New York, drew a crowd of industry professionals, indie film enthusiasts, and genre fans.</p>
<p>The AFF Jury highly praised The Resonance, commending it as &#8220;excellence in horror storytelling&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Resonance follows the story of respected psychologist Sloan Campbell. When she inherits her predecessor&#8217;s last known session tapes before his untimely demise, she discovers a dark and unsettling pattern. As she delves deeper into the center of his final case, a sinister force threatens to blur the line between modern medicine and religion. Will her pursuit for the truth force her to tow a fine line between science and the supernatural, or will she become the next victim of&#8230; the resonance.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition,&#8221; said co-director and writer Sashia Dumont. &#8220;Towing the line between the psychological and the supernatural gave us a chance to explore how far the human mind can bend under the weight of the unknown.</p>
<p>&#8220;Marketing Campaign Prize</p>
<p>As part of their Best Horror Short win, Dumont and Robinson have secured a free professional press and marketing campaign. This award is sponsored by Marketing Macabre, a premier public relations and marketing firm specializing in the horror and independent film genres.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are thrilled to partner with Marketing Macabre,&#8221; said director and cinematographer Paul Robinson. &#8220;Having their team behind The Resonance is the perfect next step to get this film in front of a much wider audience.&#8221;</p>

<p>Author Alex Grass is set to push the boundaries of contemporary horror this summer with the highly anticipated July 15, 2026 release of Infernal Tramps. Early reviews from industry authorities and award-winning genre authors are already hailing the book as an uncompromising, poetic, and unapologetically strange masterclass in psychological and body horror.</p>
<p>Infernal Tramps explores recognizable human anxieties—including medical debt, toxic relationships, and class resentment—and twists them into terrifying new dimensions. In “The EP<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Implant,” Grass lampoons the plastic surgery industry through a wealthy protagonist whose app-controlled cosmetic enhancement suffers a horrifying post-surgery malfunction. In “Odd Egg,” a relatable woman returns home to find a stranger with an egg-shaped head and long, bumpy fingers waiting on her porch, kicking off a progressively agonizing downward spiral.</p>
<p>Whether tracking a child witnessing a traumatizing event inside a family funeral home in “Ever Shall They Feed,” or delivering quick bursts of graphic dread via bite-sized flash fiction, Grass utilizes a rare lyrical elegance. His prose shifts effortlessly from poetic descriptions of decay to darkly evocative, raw metaphors that satisfy hardcore horror enthusiasts while remaining deeply grounded in character-driven narrative.</p>
<p>Infernal Tramps will be available globally in multiple formats on July 15, 2026.</p>
<p>Amazon: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Infernal-Tramps-Tales-Weird-Terror-ebook/dp/B0GSN4BX4Y">https://www.amazon.com/Infernal-Tramps-Tales-Weird-Terror-ebook/dp/B0GSN4BX4Y</a><br />

<p>What a perfect and awfully silly way to start summer!</p>
<p>Mirth Inkorporated recently debuted Beach Bro Bloodbath, a horror-comedy with bits of cop-drama, practical special effects and tons of overt sexuality. In this 80s styled slasher, a masked &#8211; I mean, gloved &#8211; serial killer is laying waste to the beautiful waters of Virginia Beach. Someone has to take the summer killer crown away from I Know What You Did Last Summer, and filmmaker Jeff Tarkenton appears to be just that guy.</p>
<p>Beach Bro Bloodbath is written and directed by Jeff Tarkenton. It features cinematography and editing by Hunter Chapman. Cast members include Nick Alexander, Dariel Clark, Kasim Ruffin, Philip Augustus Mckeon, Eva Larainne, Dave Norton, Nick Delorenzo, Allie Willwerth and Matt Smith. Props to the cast and crew for fitting four unique death sequences into a 16 minute short film.</p>
<p>Even though I have no idea what they were talking about half the time, I have nothing but good things to say about Beach Bro Bloodbath. The acting isn&#8217;t half bad, and the script features a handful of funny one-liners. There&#8217;s a lot of long, lingering shots to marinate in the madness and people get killed on the beach in broad daylight with vacationers either not caring or not noticing.</p>
<p>And it definitely gets the award for best use of a beach umbrella.</p>

<p>From Haiti to Hollywood, Bedward’s doc unearths the buried origins of the zombie genre and opens theatrically this fall </p>
<p>Kino Lorber has acquired U.S. distribution rights to Maya Annik Bedward’s documentary Black Zombie, which made its World Premiere at the 2026 SXSW Film Festival. The doc traces the origin and evolution of zombies from Haitian spiritual traditions to fixtures of Hollywood horror, examining the cinematic and historical context and reclaiming their deeper cultural significance as powerful symbols of survival and resistance. Black Zombie will be released theatrically by Kino Lorber this fall followed by a digital, educational, and home video release.</p>
<p>Black Zombie digs beneath the blood-soaked spectacle of modern horror to uncover the zombie’s buried and unsettling origins. Long before it became associated with flesh-eating ghouls, the zombie was a living metaphor for slavery: not a monster, but the ultimate victim of colonial power. A symbol of stolen agency was recast as an object of fear, while Black spiritual traditions were distorted, sensationalized, and erased. Director Maya Annik Bedward traces the evolution of the zombie from colonial Haiti to contemporary Hollywood, reconsidering iconic films like White Zombie, Night of the Living Dead, and The Serpent and the Rainbow alongside archival footage, vérité scenes, and interviews with cultural historians, artists, and genre legends including Yves-Grégory Francois, Mambo Labelle Déesse, Slash, Tom Savini, and Zandashé Brown. Part cultural reckoning, part horror remix, Black Zombie exposes how a figure born from enslavement, spiritual belief, and resistance was transformed into one of pop culture’s most profitable monsters.</p>
<p>The deal for Black Zombie was negotiated by Kino Lorber VP of Acquisitions Karoliina Dwyer and Bill Straus of Bridge Independent.</p>
<p>“I’m thrilled to partner with Kino Lorber on the release of Black Zombie,” said director Maya Annik Bedward. “The film explores the power of images to shape our understanding of history, culture, and race, making it especially meaningful to work with a distributor so deeply engaged with cinema’s past and present. Their passion for films that challenge, illuminate, and expand our understanding of the world makes them an ideal partner for bringing this story to audiences across the U.S.”</p>
<p>“The zombie is one of the most iconic images in cinema, and you’ll never look at them the same after watching Black Zombie,” said Dwyer. “Maya Annik Bedward has crafted a fascinating, deeply researched documentary that unearths the long buried Haitian origins of the genre, interrogating colonial, political, and Hollywood history to powerful and illuminating effect. We’re so proud to bring this documentary to U.S. audiences this fall.&#8221; </p>
<p>Black Zombie is written and directed by Maya Annik Bedward. The film is produced by Bedward, Hannah Donegan, and Kate Fraser and executive produced by Jennifer Holness, Michael Paszt, Andrew Thomas Hunt, James Fler, and Slash.</p>

<p>Industrial metal band, LUCID DEMENTIA has unleashed the first video from their newest album, Hexery.</p>
<p>&#8220;Witches Hat&#8221; presents a dark spell of inspiration put together on a low budget in an experiment to see what would happen if the band filmed an occult crime and called it a music video.</p>
<p>The song &#8220;Witches Hat&#8221; at its core is about how one should not touch a woman without her consent. LUCID DEMENTIA is a dark thing that does more than bumps in the night. So the music and lyrics are intricately woven to tell a story about what should happen to a soul that would break this rule.</p>
<p>The video tells a tale in 3 parts:<br />
The dirty man’s hand reaches out, strokes, grabs a flower and squeezes it until it bleeds, then releases the flower and retreats. A witch then casts a spell by manipulating different objects on a table. Finally, a person is trapped in a room with the band with only a camera that has a tiny pin hole light.</p>
<p>The band performs the song in the pitch black darkness as if in a dreamy nightmare. The trapped person is entranced by the band and cannot stop peering at them as they perform the song. The video remains, but why the trapped person?  Maybe there are clues within the other songs of the album, Hexery.</p>

<p>The Among Us game became a global phenomenon, reaching nearly 500 million monthly active users at its peak in Q4 2020. The game generated more than 4 billion views on YouTube and over 1.22 billion viewing sessions on Twitch.  In October 2020 alone, it ranked #1 on Google Play in 66 countries and #1 on iOS in 55 countries, with Top 100 placements in nearly every market worldwide. </p>

<p>Kill TV, the uncensored social media platform built for underground creators, horror filmmakers, and the fans who actually want to see their work, today announced the launch of its creator storefront. The new storefront empowers filmmakers, musicians, and content creators to sell directly to their audience without the content restrictions, demonetization, and algorithmic suppression that have driven extreme and adult work off mainstream platforms.</p>
<p>Already live as a social platform, Kill TV is using today&#8217;s storefront launch to give creators a direct revenue channel — selling films, music videos, and exclusive content to fans on a platform that doesn&#8217;t apologize for what horror, exploitation, and underground art have always been.</p>
<p>&#8220;We operate within the law and let creators and audiences decide what&#8217;s acceptable, not algorithms or advertisers,&#8221; said the Kill TV team. &#8220;If it&#8217;s consensual, properly released, and legal, creators can put it on Kill TV and sell it. That&#8217;s it. We&#8217;re not in the business of telling filmmakers their vision is too much.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Kill TV storefront (<a href="https://killtv.me/store">https://killtv.me/store</a>) launch slate includes a roster of underground and genre-defining content unavailable on any other platform:</p>
<p>●     A Serbian Film — Kill TV becomes the first and only platform to offer the full 104-minute uncensored director&#8217;s cut of Srđan Spasojević&#8217;s 2010 film in digital form. A landmark moment for horror fans and filmmakers: even one of the most controversial films ever produced has been quietly censored, trimmed, and region-locked across every digital storefront for fifteen years. Kill TV is the first to host it as Spasojević intended.</p>
<p>●     Samhel — One of the most uncompromising voices in underground horror filmmaking joins the platform.</p>
<p>●     Wigwolf — The experimental artist and longtime provocateur of the underground brings his boundary-pushing work to Kill TV, with new adult works possibly coming exclusively to the platform.</p>
<p>●     Jaysin the Sin God — The underground musical artist is producing original uncensored music videos exclusively for Kill TV.</p>
<p>●     XBrand Wrestling — The kings of the underground, delivering insane deathmatch action at live events, are joining Kill TV with new uncensored content on the way.</p>
<p>●     Adult creators joining the platform include FalcoDarkBlade and KenzieCakez, expanding the platform&#8217;s growing lineup of uncensored independent talent.</p>
<p>Kill TV&#8217;s doors are now open to independent creators of all sizes, allowing them to sell content directly to their audience while keeping 100% of their revenue with 0% platform fees on all transactions.</p>

<p>Blu Release &#8211; 4/5</p>
<p>The Degenerates<br />
Director &#8211; Andy Milligan (The Naked Witch, The Man with Two Heads)<br />
Starring &#8211; Bryarly Lee (Omnibus, Studio One), Marcia Haufrecht (The Sopranos, Dog Day Afternoon), and Anne Linden (The Vixens, The All American Honeymoon)<br />
Release Date &#8211; 1967<br />
Rating &#8211; 3/5</p>
<p>Tagline &#8211; &#8220;They always go down to the lowest depths of human sensuality&#8221;</p>
<p>There is a lot of filmmakers that were lost to time over the decades as beta and VHS made way to DVD and blu but many boutique labels have made it their mission to find these films. Director Andy Milligan is a filmmaker I was somewhat familiar with.  I began collecting movies when I was in high school and sometime during my college years I found a copy of The Ghastly Ones on DVD for a decent price.  I went ahead and snagged it for my collection.  One of the campus officers would often borrow this movie and during my last year there I gifted it to him.  Sadly, this was one of the few Milligan films that I had seen until a few years back when Severin released their Andy Milligan set.  I snagged a copy and checked it out.  Not all of his films hit for me but I enjoyed most of them.  </p>
<p>A few weeks back Severin announced a second Andy Milligan release and this one would feature several lost films of his along with a documentary.  I quickly shot them an email requesting this one for review and they were kind enough to send it over.  It only made sense to start with the The Degenerates from 1967 which is the movie of his that I had always wanted to see but never had the chance.  I want to thank Severin for sending this one over!</p>

<p>**Spoiler Alert**     The film takes place some time after a nuclear disaster.  A group of men are searching for survivors when they cross paths with a group of women barricaded in an old farmhouse.  They soon learn that no everyone wants saved and not everyone is a victim.  **Spoiler alert**</p>
<p>     I went into The Degenerates knowing a little about the plot but that is about it.  I knew what to expect from the acting and the story but it wasn&#8217;t until I was getting ready to put my review together that I learned that the film was originally unfinished and had to be edited together to make it more coherent.  With that being said, I actually enjoyed it for what it was.  It is extremely rough around the edges but it&#8217;s still fun.  </p>
<p>The acting in this one is what you would expect from an early Milligan flick.  The cast is really into their roles and you can see how dedicated they really are in some of the more intense scenes but the overacting and lack of emotional depth made a few scenes really awkward.  Some of the cast would go on to have pretty stellar careers but it&#8217;s clear that this is some of their first films and used it as a learning experience.  </p>
<p>The story for this one fits in with the late 60s sci-fi trend with the cold war in full effect.  However, what sets it apart from the others is the role reversal of the women being the depraved.  The film does suffer from pacing issues and I can only assume that some of the middle portion of the film was never filmed which left some gaps in the story but it still finds a way to work in a sexploitation kind of way.  </p>
<p>Finally, those of you looking for a bloody flick will be very disappointed.  The film is very light on the effects and the deaths are not gruesome. The movie is clearly a no budget affair and they did not have money in the budget for memorable deaths.  Overall, The Degenerates could have been a career defining film from a fringe filmmaker but was never finished for various reasons.  I would have loved to see what Milligan really envisioned but this is the best we can do.  This is a must see for any cult cinema fan.  Check it out.  </p>

<p>I&#8217;ve reviewed more documentaries this year than I have previously.  Hell, I&#8217;ve probably reviewed more this year than I have the last two or three years combined.  I love documentaries but I&#8217;m not really a fan of reviewing them as it entails a lot to cover.  I usually try to simplify it as much as possible which does most documentaries an injustice.  Anyway, I recently watched several documentaries sent over from Severin as part of their various collection sets.  The first was about the films from Spain following the death of their dictator while the second was on the life and career of the legendary Christopher Lee.  As I move over to the Gutter Auteur set from Severin, I find myself watching another one.  This time it&#8217;s the 2025 doc. </p>
<p>The Degenerate: The Life and Films of Andy Milligan.  Milligan is a filmmaker I was familiar with but I&#8217;d be lying if I said he was one I admired or genuinely enjoyed.  I did like a few of his films but for every one of his films I liked there was a few that I didn&#8217;t care for.  Anyway, I went into this set excited and after watching The Degenerates, I figured it made sense to watch this one next. </p>

<p> **Spoiler Alert**    This follows an in depth look at the personal life and career of Andy Milligan featuring interviews from film historians, collaborators, and personal friends.  We see him growing up as an Army brat, to the stage, and filmmaking all while being openly gay before he died of AIDS.  **Spoiler alert**</p>
<p>     I&#8217;ll be honest and admit that I didn&#8217;t know a lot about Milligan before this documentary.  I knew he had fought with his cast and crew during filming and died sometime back but I had no idea he was openly gay and died as a result of AIDS.  This was kind of an eye opening documentary in regards to his backstory and how that shaped his films.  This also confuses me as to why I never seen him mentioned among other LGBTQ+ filmmakers.  He more than deserves to be on those lists.  I may not like all his work but making films as long as he did during the decades he did is commendable.  The interviews in this one are insightful and not always one sided.  We get a full look at his up bringing, career, and personal life through several eyes.  </p>
<p>These interviews are not sugar coated either.  We get a real look at him and see how he was as a person.  I really dislike films that gloss over the negatives but this one doesn&#8217;t.  You get to see the real Milligan. </p>
<p> The topics discussed follow his life chronologically and, in some instances, are very informative.  While some are thorough than others, it does offer a wide variety of what made Andy Milligan stand out.  </p>
<p>Finally, this one is edited and shot very well.  The transitions look great and the cinematography looks amazing.  I was really impressed by how well this one looks.  I was familiar Josh Johnson&#8217;s previous docs and knew he would do a great job but this one is easily his best looking doc.  Overall, The Degenerate: The Life and Films of Andy Milligan is an informal and well put together documentary about a true cinema maverick.  While I wouldn&#8217;t say I&#8217;m a fan of his work, the fact he was openly gay and creating movies during a time when this could get you hurt means he was truly passionate about it.  I highly recommend checking this one out especially if you have no idea who Andy Milligan was.  Check it out.  </p>

<p>Compass Rose<br />
Director &#8211; Andy Milligan (Surgikill, The Weirdo)<br />
Starring &#8211; Anthony Moscini (Seeds of Sin, Gutter Trash), Anne Linden (Hot Erotic Nights, The Vixens), and Candy Hammond (The Promiscuous Sex, Seeds of Sin)<br />
Release Date &#8211; 1967<br />
Rating &#8211; 1/5</p>
<p>Many years ago I bought The Ghastly Ones and since then I&#8217;ve seen several of his horror titles.  I have seen his more erotic and drama centered films like Vapors and Seeds of Sin when I think it was Vinegar Syndrome released them.  I wasn&#8217;t really a fan then but I&#8217;m really looking forward to checking out some of these other films after watching The Degenerate: The Life and Films of Andy Milligan.  The next movie in the set is the 1967 film Compass Rose.  This was one I had never heard of before and couldn&#8217;t wait to check it out.</p>

<p>**Spoiler alert**     The film, the best I can tell, follows a group of drag queen performers in an NYC underground theater where they encounter drug addicts, perverts, and other degenerates that inhabit the scene.  **Spoiler Alert**</p>
<p>     Like all the films in this set, Compass Rose was never completed by Milligan so we have no idea what his final vision was for the film but as it sits currently it is damn near unwatchable.  I went into this one really excited to see some of the things I had learned about him from the documentary but the movie is pieced together the best as possible but that doesn&#8217;t give us a lot to go on.   </p>
<p>The acting in this one is a lot of fun but it is rough.  The cast really gets into their roles and brings a lot of energy in some of the scenes but the dialogue delivery is rough.  Their inexperience is evident but I still had fun with their energy in several of the scenes.  </p>
<p>The story for this one is extremely lacking.  I&#8217;m sure Milligan had a story or idea in his head when he originally started the film but I have no idea what the end game was without it being finished.  It&#8217;s extremely difficult to follow and has very little direction as is.  I seriously wanted to get into it but I was confused through most of it.  </p>
<p>Finally, don&#8217;t go into this one expecting deaths.  We do have some nudity and an incoherent story if that&#8217;s more your speed.  Overall, Compass Rose was a very difficult film to finish.  While I liked the characters and the cast, it was a rough experience.  I wanted to like it but it&#8217;s not a fun watch as it is.  </p>

<p>Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me!<br />
Director &#8211; Andy Milligan (Legacy of Blood, Fleshpot on 42nd St.)<br />
Starring &#8211; Natalie Rogers (Tricks of the Trade, The Very Naked Canvas), Don Williams (The Ghastly Ones), and Peter Ratray (The Abyss, Walls of Glass)<br />
Release Date &#8211; 1968<br />
Rating &#8211; 2/5</p>
<p>Tagline &#8211; &#8220;No one man could satisfy her&#8221;</p>
<p> I didn&#8217;t know what to expect when I started diving into this Gutter Auteur set from Severin.  I was familiar with Andy Milligan&#8217;s work prior to this but it was limited to a handful or so films that I had added to my collection over the years.  He was a very polarizing filmmaker that was not very consistent with his films but the few that I do like, I really like.  </p>
<p>I started this marathon with The Degenerates because it was one I had wanted to see for some time but soon followed that up with the documentary about him and Compass Rose.  I was not a fan of Compass Rose but that didn&#8217;t stop me from immediately throwing in Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me! from 1968.  </p>

<p>**Spoiler Alert**     The film follows a promiscuous house wife that starts going behind her husbands back to sleep around.  He&#8217;s abusive and doesn&#8217;t show her the attention she craves but several men, along with her husband&#8217;s best friend, give her what she needs.  However, when he starts to sever ties with her as to not hurt his best friend, she starts scheming up ways to get him back until her husband ultimately discovers that she is sleeping around and not taking care of their child. **Spoiler Alert**</p>
<p>     I went into Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me! expecting it to be another unwatchable movie where the story was never finished by Milligan but what I found was a bit of an erotic drama that does have a lot of issues but still works as a coherent film.  It&#8217;s not the best film I&#8217;ve seen but it was still watchable.  </p>
<p>The acting in this one is leagues above Compass Rose but there is still a lot of room for growth.  We see some very well acted scenes sporadically throughout the film but other scenes show inexperience and awkwardness with the dialogue.  </p>
<p>The story for this one is a little more straight forward but does have some rough editing at times.  A slutty housewife with a drunk husband going around lookin for strange is nothing we haven&#8217;t seen before in sexploitation and it&#8217;s not really done in an original way here.  It works to watch especially if you are going through this set like I am but it&#8217;s not something I can recommend.  </p>
<p>Finally, the film has a little blood but it&#8217;s not a movie with a body count or great effects.  The movie is focused on the sleazy housewife and that&#8217;s it.  Those of you wanting memorable deaths will be very disappointed.  Overall, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me! is very middle of the road and forgettable but it&#8217;s watchable which is more than Compass Rose.  </p>

<p>House of Seven Belles<br />
Director &#8211; Andy Milligan (Blood, Dragula)<br />
Starring &#8211; Dolores Barcia, Peter Barcia (Legacy of Blood), and Elaine Boies (Legacy of Blood)<br />
Release Date &#8211; 1979<br />
Rating &#8211; 2.5/5</p>
<p>As I prepared to toss in the final film in this set from Severin Films, I wondered if it would be a film that could be followed or another abysmal watch.  The movie was a bit different than the previous films in the set as it was shot in the late 70s before he ran out of money to finish it while the other unfinished films were shot in the 60s and fell on the cutting room floor as he moved on to other projects.  </p>
<p>The film, House of Seven Belles, s a period piece horror drama that did not have an ending.  This intrigued me and made me think that it would be watchable until the last leg of the film.  I was mostly right.</p>

<p>**Spoiler Alert**     The film follows seven southern belles whose family was once prosperous but has since fell on hard times since the civil war.  However, they are all fighting for the little bit of inheritance that is left and along their journey is a various characters ranging from rapists, wounded soldiers, and a murderer who is stalking the property killing people one by one. **Spoiler Alert**</p>
<p>     I went into this one knowing absolutely nothing about it besides the fact that it was completely shot aside from the ending.  I had no idea it was a period piece about the deep south and filmed in New York but I found myself really enjoying it.  </p>
<p>The acting in this one is very loud and stiff.  The cast is inexperienced and not really into their roles in a lot of the scenes.  We have a lot of screaming, flat dialogue, and no emotional range.  I really wanted to like these characters but it felt like a stage play with an anger management group.  </p>
<p>The story for this one is not what I was expecting and found myself really drawn into it.  It&#8217;s a period piece drama that has some slasher elements tossed in randomly.  It does not make a lot of sense and some of the scenes left me scratching my head but it held my attention which says something.  On the opposite side of the same coin, the lack of an ending is a bit disappointing.  </p>
<p>Finally, the film does have a few deaths but they are not that memorable.  Honestly, I enjoyed them in the film itself but they don&#8217;t really stand out and use minimal practical effects.  Overall, House of Seven Belles is not the film I was expecting from Andy Milligan.  It&#8217;s an odd period piece set after the civil war with slasher tones and a lot of unlikable characters.  It&#8217;s the biggest surprise in this set and one I would recommend watching.  It&#8217;s still far from perfect and a movie I will never revisit but it&#8217;s still wild for what it is.  </p>
