It was announced last month that Rob Zombie will be playing the role of horror host for HDNET Movies’ forthcoming two-week holiday event “Rob Zombie’s 13 Nights of Halloween,” which will run from October 19 straight through Halloween night.
On each of the 13 nights, Zombie will be on hand to introduce and share his thoughts on the horror films airing during the event, and the full schedule has just been revealed.
“The event kicks off with Zombie’s celebrated sophomore opus THE DEVIL’S REJECTS. Other films rounding out the special include Matthew McConaughey & Renée Zellweger in early starring roles in TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION (Oct. 20); Wes Craven’s seminal 1972 shocker THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (Oct. 21); Jodie Foster & Anthony Hopkins in the Oscar®-winning masterpiece THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (Oct. 22); Steve McQueen in the 1958 sci-fi favorite THE BLOB (Oct. 23); Kevin Dillon & Shawnee Smith in the 1988 reimagining THE BLOB (Oct. 24); Nicole Kidman in the ghostly drama THE OTHERS (Oct. 25); Bradley Cooper in the supernatural thriller CASE 39 (Oct. 26); the found-footage epic THE DEVIL INSIDE (Oct. 27); Brad Pitt & Juliette Lewis in the killer couple classic KALIFORNIA (Oct. 28); Christian Slater & Patricia Arquette in Oliver Stone’s star-studded crime thriller TRUE ROMANCE (Oct. 29); and Tim Matheson in the 1991 Stephen King adaptation SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK (Oct. 30).”
“The month closes with a special 24-hour Halloween marathon on Tuesday, October 31, starting at 6aE and featuring LEATHERFACE: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III at 9pE.”

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
