Burial Plots - A Horror Anthology from the Makers of "WNUF Halloween Special" and "Call Girl of Cthulu"Pick up your copy… before you end up bagged and boarded.

Filmmakers Chris LaMartina and Jimmy George are unleashing a Kickstarter campaign for their new horror project, Burial Plots.

Inspired by creepy comics likeTales from the Crypt and The Witching Hour, BURIAL PLOTS contains thirty ghastly black & white pages, featuring two macabre adventures. With dread-inducing artwork and blood-soaked storylines, it’s perfect for creeps who like their fear mixed with fun.

In BUM WRAP, a wronged homeless man discovers an ancient mummy and uses the decrepit creature to seek revenge. It’s a real rags-to-riches story!

In SHAPESHIFTERS, a scrawny recruit transforms after he joins a gym run by a pack of muscle head werewolves. Will this killer workout get him ripped in thirty days?

Since 2007, Chris LaMartina and Jimmy George have written and produced six award winning, critically-acclaimed horror features. With an anarchic knack for sharp wit and stylized bloodshed, their work has been praised by the New York Times, VICE, NPR, and MTV. Their film, WNUF Halloween Special is currently streaming on Shudder and their Lovecraft comedy, Call Girl of Cthulhu tore up the international film fest circuit.

Illustrator John de Campos (aka GHOSTBAT) has been producing artwork professionally since 2013. Specializing in show posters, album covers and logos, de Campos has covered a wide range of illustration needs while sharpening a versatile but accessible style. He is a founding member of the Baltimore Rock Opera Society.

If their Kickstarter campaign is successful, BURIAL PLOTS will be the first comic from Baltimore-based Midnight Crew Studios.

LeglessCorpse Films Presents Deimosimine

From the Press Release May 25th, 2015

DEIMOSIMINE is being created by the folks at LeglessCorpse.com and produced by LeglessCorpse Films. Directed by Chad Armstrong, Writer Andrew Thompson and Produced by Ray Scanlon, with makeup and creature FX by Ryan Nicholson (Gutterballs, Gutterballs 2, Collar, Dead Nude Girls). "We are taking our love of horror films, creature features, slasher films, and practical effects and enveloping them into this balls out, tour-de-force horror flick!" says the Director. He also states about the current indiegogo.com campaign, "we are making this film for the fans, I know you hear that a lot, but if you look at the prices of the perks, you certainly can see what we mean. It will take more contributions to make the film happen, but the fans are getting more for their dough".

This is certainly true. With just $1.00 donation you can get a thank you credit in the film. For $2.00 you get to watch the entire finished film before ANYONE else, via an online screening link. They also have some great custom perks like having your name ON the actual DVD cover art, or Blu-Ray art, all for the price of a new release DVD or Blu-Ray.

ABOUT THE FILM

Cindy is a twenty-something girl who has had a rough life. She believes that her wealthy mother killed her father and got away with it. After years of running from this horrible past, she turned finally to heroin to cope with her painful memories.

In reality truly caring for her daughter but being emotionally unable to reach out to her child as she should, Cindy's mother uses her obscene wealth to find a way to get her daughter the treatment she feels she needs; a radical, experimental treatment: DEIMOSIMINE; a drug that causes an addict to experience powerfully negative emotional reactions to the drugs they crave. Theoretically, the patient will not want to go back to those dark places that the reaction of the DEIMOSIMINE creates in their minds, and thus stop using.

An unforeseen factor, however, causes Cindy to have a different reaction to the drug than is anticipated, and the results are a bloody and horrific journey into misunderstood madness.

Believing she's begun the road to recovery, Cindy will find herself enveloped in the subconscious horror that the drug creates in her psyche; a world of demons, evil, blood, and death. Despite her efforts and those of they who support her, she will find herself a slave to the drug, and the demented terrors of the world that it shows to her. The tragedy of a soul brought to such heinous destruction of the undeserving will be showcased as her perception brings bloody vengeance on the perceived threats to herself and society.

The film will consist of monsters, demons, on screen blood-baths, and crazy set pieces. This is surely going to be a fun film.

We hope everyone in the group enjoys the production ride and helps us get this bat-shit crazy film made.

FX Providing the makeup and creature FX, is underground horror filmmaker and FX artist Ryan Nicholson. Ryan is best know for his own films Gutterballs, Gutterballs 2, Collar, and more.

CAST:

Portia Chellelyn has been cast in the role of Kellee.

Other cast members will be announced on the campaign site as contributions hit a certain "goal", unravelling more secrets into the film production.

The film is tentatively scheduled to shoot in November for 21 days in and around Northern Alabama. Projected release date is January 2016.

Please help support get this film made with the creature FX and cast that is needed. Head on over to http://igg.me/at/deimosimine/x/8730882 and drop down a buck or more!!

A moody and atmospheric horror film about a mysterious fortune-telling payphone directed by James Henry Hall ...
