WORLD OF DEATH EP 1 – “Fitness Class Zombie” / “Skom”

Published

on

They say variety is the spice of life.  Be prepared to have a fistful of ghost peppers shoved down your throat!  World of Death is officially here!

Episode 1 features two extremely entertaining short films.  “Fitness Class Zombie” is a comical claymation short created by Chris Walsh from Ontario, Canada.  I first caught Chris’ film at Peoria, Illinois’ Drunken Zombie Film Festival and instantly knew it needed to become a part of World of Death.  It is the perfect movie to kick off a show meant to provide fans with any and EVERY type of horror out there!  The second short film in episode 1 is “Skom”, directed by Christophe Deroo.  Deroo hails from France where he sometimes produces work with fellow WOD’er Katya Mokolo (“Mannequism”).  “Skom” played at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas a few years back and I was blown away by the movie’s production design and quality visual FX work.  All you  “Stranger Things” fans will enjoy the 80’s aesthetic present in “Skom”.

‘Late Night With the Devil’ – Exclusive Clip Begins the Supernatural Horror on Halloween 1977

Published

on

The upcoming Late Night With the Devil is one of the most buzzed about horror movies of the year, currently 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and earning rave reviews from both Stephen King and Kevin Smith. King raves that the film is “absolutely brilliant,” adding that he couldn’t take his eyes off it. Smith comments, “I love it. It’s Rosemary’s Baby meets Network.”

David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as the host of a late-night talk show that descends into a nightmare in the Ghostwatch and WNUF Halloween Special-inspired film.

IFC Films & Shudder will release the hotly anticipated Late Night with the Devil theatrically on March 22 before it heads to Shudder exclusively on April 19, 2024.

Begin the horror with a brand new EXCLUSIVE clip below…

David Dastmalchian stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence.

The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign). 

The film premiered last year at SXSW. Meagan wrote in her review out of the fest, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It’s a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem.

“The ingenuity, the painstaking period recreation, a riveting performance by Dastmalchian, and a showstopper of a finale make for one Halloween event you won’t want to miss.”

Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (It, The Grudge, The Ring) and Steven Schneider (Pet Sematary, Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Derek Dauchy (“Al Kameen”) and Future Pictures’ Mat Govoni (“Lone Wolf”) and Adam White (“Lone Wolf”) and John Molloy are all producing.

Joel Anderson (Lake Mungo), Rami Yasin, and David Dastmalchian executive produce.
