Exclusive: Michael Stahl-David (Cloverfield), Scottie Thompson (Crown Vic) and Michael Weston (Home Before Dark) are in production in Ohio on Down to the Felt, an indie dark comedy with action elements from filmmaker Jon Osbeck. The trio joins a cast that also includes Jo-Ann Robinson and Cullen Douglas.

When the Trash Man Knocks is a bit of a rarity. While there are the occasional films like Derelicts and Amityville Thanksgiving, there really aren’t that many films set on the busiest time for travel and family gatherings in the US. Writer/director/star Christopher Wesley Moore hopes to use it to leave his mark on the holiday horror calendar with a mix of psychological horror and bloody slasher stylings.
In 1993 young Crispin Callaway (Luke Mayronne; Triggered) hacked up his father and the student he was having an affair with and stuffed their remains into trash bags. Ten years later, just before he was transferred to a maximum security facility, he escaped. He left a dozen dead bodies in his wake and then seemingly vanished.

Horror’s queerness has always been tied to the other. Whether we’re talking about literal monsters, as in the case of Bride of Frankenstein, or the queer-coded nature of Hays Code-era films like Cat People一or even decades-later queer vehicles Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde and Sleepaway Camp一there’s always been a queer pulse throbbing inside horror storytelling.
In recent years, the ability to tell LGBTQ+ tales and the boldness with which you could play around in that sandbox has shifted tremendously. Within the last 20 years, the horror lens has refocused on allowing actual unapologetically queer stories to be told, from 2004’s Hellbent to more recent fare like Freaky and The Perfection. Thankfully, we also live in a world where So Vam and Children of Sin can exist, two of last year’s most surprising releases that relish in queerness while deconstructing unchecked homophobia and religious trauma. In both, it’s...

Stars: Keni Bounds, Jeff Buchwald, Meredith Mohler, Lewis Hines, Jo-Ann Robinson | Written and Directed by Christopher Wesley Moore
Children of Sin is the new film from writer/director/actor Christopher Wesley Moore and like his previous films Blessed Are the Children, Stranger Among the Living, and Triggered, (not to be confused with the South African film Triggered) it’s a horror film with a strong dose of religious and social commentary. His previous films have managed to walk the line between delivering scares and delivering their message, can he keep that steak going here?
Tammy (Keni Bounds; Blessed Are the Children) is marrying Robbie. This doesn’t sit well with her children Emma and Jackson (Lewis Hines; Mimi: Blood Thicker Than Water). Maybe because he’s a religious zealot who demands total obedience and finds sin in everyone but himself. And he doesn’t consider making advances on his own stepdaughter as sinful.

Scalps (1983)
Directed by: Fred Olen Ray
Written by: Fred Olen Ray
Starring: Jo-Ann Robinson (D.J.), Richard Hench (Randy/Black Claw), Roger Maycock (Kershaw Ellerbe), Frank McDonald (Ben), Carol Sue Flockhart (Louise), Barbara Magnusson (Ellen), Kirk Alyn (Professor Machen), Carroll Borland (Dr. Sharon Reynolds), Cynthia Hartline (Ann), Forrest Ackerman(Professor Trentwood), George Randall (Billy), Jay Walker (Kyle)
I went into Scalps with the notion that I was going to hate it but wound up being pleasantly surprised by the film. This movie was far from perfect but I enjoyed it for the most part. First released in the United States in 1983 with one of Continental Video’s trademark “double feature” VHS and later released as an anniversary DVD.
The premise for this one is fairly simple. Several college kids taking archaeology classes together travel to an ancient Indian burial ground to search for artifacts.
