Dread Central hopped a flight to Las Vegas, Nevada, on Thursday, October 3, in order to cover the opening of the haunt attraction Fright Dome at Adventuredome at Circus Circus, and we came back with not only a celebrity-filled gallery from the black carpet but also a report!
Arriving to the gusty Fright Dome carpet, we were beset by a menagerie of scare actors hired by Fright Dome creator and owner Jason Egan, who in true Tod Browning fashion had employed (among the requisite clowns and chainsaw-wielding madmen) individuals with actual physical anomalies, which were accentuated by entirely professional makeups. In addition to the duo of Johnny Eck-like young women with truncated torsos (who were made up as zombies and dashed about the carpet using their hands as locomotion), another actor sported a gruesome facial makeup which served to highlight his entirely empty optical orb (the result of sinus cancer,...

Bounty Killer is a new post-apocalyptic movie that was released today on VOD and in select theaters. We caught up with the movie’s director and co-writer, Henry Saine, for our latest Q&A feature. Continue reading to learn about the cartoon and short film that came first, his experience on the set of Bounty Killer, and future plans for his post-apocalyptic world:
Thanks for taking the time to talk with us, Henry. How long have you had the idea for Bounty Killer? Was this a world you wanted to get into ever since you first caught Mad Max (or another post apocalyptic-movie)?
Henry Saine: I’ve always loved the world that George Miller created in Road Warrior and Mad Max, but also the nuttier movies like Ice Pirates and Roger Corman’s Death Race 2000, so it was always a sand box I wanted to play in. Years ago,...

Originally conceived as a prequel to the long-running Saw movies and penned by Patrick Melton & Marcus Dunstan, the writing duo behind Saw’s 4 through 7 (and the awesome Feast trilogy), 2009′s fan-favourite The Collector finally gets it’s very own sequel in The Collection, picking up almost exactly where the first film left off.
Having previously been re-captured at the end of the original film, The Collection sees Arkin (Stewart) escape with his life from the vicious grips of The Collector during an entrapment party that sees hundreds killed and Elena (Fitzpatrick), a young partially deaf girl, imprisoned and abducted. Recovering from his ordeal in hospital, Arkin is once again abducted – but not by the evil Collector but by mercenaries hired by Elena’s...

Hey, wait a sec. People were demanding a sequel to The Collector? The Saw prequel-turned-original-horror film from Saw IV-VII writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan wasn't a huge bomb; it made just under $8 million at the box office and seemed to have little buzz behind it. Even Melton expressed surprise during an interview that it had been greenlit. But it was cheap to make and had a life on video and cable, where I caught it. And here we are again, with a rarity in the world of horror: a sequel featuring the original creative team and star, Josh Stewart.
The Collector is a serial killer who stages a home invasion, knocks out the occupants and then litters the home with Rube Goldberg-ian (or Kevin McAllister-ian) traps,...

The Collection is a sequel to the 2009 film The Collector. Writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton have helmed both productions. In the sequel, the Collector returns with a series of traps, much like he did in the original. This time, he brings one of his most elaborate traps to an underground rave. A wheat thresher falls from the roof and the partiers below are treated like chaff. The five minute preview, taken from the film's opening sequence, is hosted below courtesy of IGN.com. The Collection opens tonight (November 30th, 2012) and fans of horror can have a look at this gory sequence below. Director: Marcus Dunstan. Writers: Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton. Cast: Josh Stewart, Christopher McDonald, Navi Rawat, Randall Archer, Johanna Braddy, Emma Fitzpatrick, Lee Tergesen, Daniel Sharman, Andre Royo, Brandon Molale, Erin Way, Robert Pralgo and Justin Mortelliti. The clip for The Collection is here: The film's homepage: The Collection.

Chicago – “The Collection” is a very, very, very, very bad movie. It is really only watchable because it’s so bad. It’s one of those flicks that encourages talking or tweeting in the theater merely so you can make it enjoyable by laughing at it and not really with it. However, one cannot deny that Marcus Dunstan’s completely illogical mess of a horror film certainly never bores. It’s too bafflingly stupid to be truly boring.
Rating: 1.0/5.0

One of my more anticipated films of this year's Fantastic Fest was The Collection, sequel to the The Collector (2009). Filmmaking team Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton return for Dunstan's directorial debut, with actor Josh Stewart (most recently seen in The Dark Knight Rises) also returning in the lead role.
Elena (Emma Fitzpatrick) and two friends attend a secret party in a warehouse, which we all know means something very positive is ahead. Within hours, Elena finds herself captured by the Collector, a serial killer terrorizing the city. Arkin (Josh Stewart), who now finds himself free from the Collector's clutches, is forced by a security team to help save Elena from the Collector's traps in an abandoned hotel rigged in just about every awful way you can imagine.
From its outset, The Collection is a sexier,...

As we learned in The Collector, the 2009 torture-horror throwaway from the men who wrote the last eight or nine Saws, there is a serial killer on the loose whose shtick is setting up complicated booby traps in people's houses so that he can feed his bloodlust. The sequel takes that premise to the all-too-common next step in the evolution of a horror franchise: repetition with a teensy bit of something new. Once again enthusiastically directed by Marcus Dunstan and written by Dunstan and Patrick Melton, The Collection picks up just after the events of The Collector, with a newly redeemed criminal named Arkin (Josh Stewart) now in the custody of the unnamed masked psychopath (Randall Archer). While the city lives in terror of this maniac, a rich girl named Elena (Emma...
