‘Volumes of Blood: Horror Stories’ Is Coming For You
Bringing even more stories to tell around the campfire is the crew from Volumes of Blood with their sequel, Volumes of Blood: Horror Stories.
Official Synopsis:
A couple plans to purchase an old home, but would like one last tour before the closing. They’re guided around the estate by a creepy realtor that may have more in store than they bargained for. Searching floor by floor, they begin to discover the remnants of its sordid and terrifying past… A popular 80’s franchise gets a modern upgrade, but at what price? On Halloween night a teen left home alone meets a trick or treater that wants more than just candy. A door to door insurance salesman makes a Thanksgiving house call with monstrous consequences. Andrew and Sara are happily married and plan on spending some quality time together, but something sinister has other plans for their evening. Carol’s Christmas Eve turns into a fight for survival when a vengeful stranger isn’t feeling the holiday spirit. Lastly, a birthday party turns bloody when some unexpected guests drop by at the wrong time. Seven interwoven tales of terror, how many stories does your house have?
PJ Starks (Volumes of Blood), Eric Huskisson (The Confession of Fred Krueger), and Christopher Bower (Doom’s Chapel Horror) join forces in producing these 7 intertwined horror stories that are sure to chill your blood. The film also brings back several directors from Volumes of Blood including artist and filmmaker, Nathan Thomas Milliner. Actor Moses Moseley (The Walking Dead) along with WWE’s Sir Mo will appear in the film.
You can help these guys raise the additional funds at their Indiegogo campaign and hopefully we’ll be seeing them soon!
