How could a zombie be lame? Enter the zombie slackers of a horror comedy called Deadheads from director and writer team of brothers Brett and Drew T. Pierce. This looks to be a refreshing angle to the dark and desperate world of a zombie apocalypse!
According to Variety, Freestyle Digital Media has bought the rights to Deadheads and have scheduled it for a first quarter of 2012 release. The film “follows two zombie slackers who find themselves surprisingly reborn from the dead. Discovering an engagement ring in his pocket, one enlists his newfound zombie pal to embark on a quest in search of his lost love.”
The film won several accolades at the Traverse City and Newport Beach film festivals. Freestyle Digital Media CEO Susan Jackson hopes that Deadheads will be the next “cult classic in the comedy horror market.” Deadheads stars Michael McKiddy (Paranormal, Burbank) and Ross Kidder (Sam Hell...

In celebration of Women in Horror Recognition Month, we begin our feature with a little Q&A from quite possibly the busiest women in the genre today, actress Maria Olsen.
Check out how she answered some general questions that we posed and keep your eye out for her on the big screen as well!

I booked my first horror feature, Son of Jason Productions' "Sam Hell", and the rest, as they say, is history!
Mh What was the first horror movie you ever watched?

The folks at Son of Jason Films sent Fangoria a trio of exclusive clips from their new fright feature Sam Hell; you can see them below. The movie was directed by Michael Bayouth, who was also one of the producers and gives the company its name: He’s the offspring of Ted White, who played masked maniac Voorhees in Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter.
“In Sam Hell, a young man who runs a Halloween spooky house finds what he believes to be an old movie prop at a yard sale, and decides to work it into his chilling attraction,” Bayouth tells Fango. “The grotesque decayed head in a cage turns out to be the real remains of a deranged mass murderer who begins to possess Sean, making him continue his bloody killing spree.
