Dean of the Dead Presents Holiday Horrors! is a seasonal horror-themed anthology that features stories from ten different directors, all wrapped up with an introduction from Dean of the Dead – a host akin to the likes of Tales From the Crypt‘s Cryptkeeper; and with visuals that look like they’ve jumped straight from the pages of the EC Comics of old… think Creepshow but on a much lower budget!
So what terrifying tales are in this one?
First up is Little Munchkin, directed by Ryan Andrews,...

Exclusive: Looking for Jane, the book by Heather Marshall, is getting the small-screen treatment.
The project is in the works from BentFrame Film & TV, the Toronto-based production company run by Coroner exec producer Adrienne Mitchell, and Tehran and Reginald the Vampire producer Cineflix Studios.
Spanning six decades and multiple timelines, Looking for Jane tells the story of three women whose lives are bound together by a long-lost letter and a secret network of women fighting for the right to choose.
Inspired by the real-life Jane Collective that provided safe but illegal abortions under the constant threat of police raids and prison, the series comes around the 50th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, which was recently overruled.
Parr recently wrote a screenplay for Ethel, a period musical drama and true story of conductor Ethel Stark.
Zach Marcovici will produce for BentFrame, with Sonia Hosko and Brett Burlock...

Today was a busy day for some of the smaller guilds with the Visual Effects Society, the Cinema Audio Society, and the Makeup and Hairstylists Guilds all announcing their nominations for 2013.
First, we have the Ves, whose main category to look at is “Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects-Driven Feature Motion Picture,” where we find Gravity and four other nominees that are just going to have to be happy with the fact that they got nominated. This is perhaps the easiest category to call in the entirety of awards season, and I don’t mean just here, but for the Oscar as well (Last year’s winner, Life of Pi, easily took this category before going on to claim the Oscar). It’s true that films like The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Star Trek Into Darkness had outstanding effects as well, but nothing even came close to the amazing,...

Ah, the stilted acting, the ludicrous plotting, the labored scripting. If it's Saturday night, that can only mean one thing: Lifetime is premiering a new original movie.
On Saturday (Sept. 28), the network released unto the world its latest shlockfest, "The Cheating Pact." A brief rundown of the plot: It's time to take the CETs (which is the made movie fake version of the SATs) and for Heather Marshall (Daniela Bobadilla, "Anger Management") it's bad news because her family is broke and her scores can't get her any scholarships for college. She and bad girl best friend Kylie (Laura Ashley Samuels) trick brainiac outcast Meredith (Laura Wiggins, "Shameless") into taking their re-tests for them in exchange for money, which she desperately needs to help pay for her brother's physical therapy.
All goes according to plan until pesky guidance counselor Ms. Walters (Played by Jamie Luner, in what might be the biggest joke of the film.
