There’s No Such Thing as Zombies isn’t so much a comedy about the zombie apocalypse as it is the story of three people, Carlotta, her husband Paul and his old school friend Colin.

When Colin’s bragging gets on Paul’s last nerve, Carlotta gives him a “vitamin” which Colin recognizes as Troxidil, a powerful antidepressant that also doubles as male birth control by decreasing sperm count. This really doesn’t sit well with Paul, not only was he being lied to, he was being prevented from starting the family he wanted.

At this point, we cut away to The Hunt and Christina Show, whose hosts are also talking about Troxidil, specifically allegations that it causes the dead to rise. They’ll soon be joined by Victoria Winkelhauser a...

Synopsis Carlotta invites her ex Paul back into her house, ignoring the fact that he’s actually a zombie – much to the dismay of her husband Colin, who had (unbeknown to Carlotta) killed Paul in the first place.

Stars: Michael Klug, Christine Nguyen, Joe Altieri, Meghan Deanna Smith, Debra Lamb, Helene Udy, Mike Ferguson | Written and Directed by Monte Light

Blood Covered Chocolate is the latest film from writer/director Monte Light, this black-and-white feature opens with a traditionally ordinary image of someone walking down a corridor. As he opens a storage locker, the discovery of a bag of money raises questions as to what’s happening. The man is recovering drug-addict Massimo (Michael Klug), who is celebrating his sobriety with his recovering alcoholic girlfriend, Tien (Christine Nguyen).

Matters become troubled when the recovering drug-addict is manipulated by his crime-boss stepfather, Crate (Joe Altieri), to break up with Tien. While feeling low from how he feels unable to control his life, Massimo finds his circumstances worsened when he’s turned by shapeshifting vampire, Sofia (Meghan Deanna Smith).

Central to this story are the recovering addicts, as the pair...

An homage to F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu, Monte Light’s Blood Covered Chocolate follows a recovering drug addict dealing with a new craving for crimson after being bitten by a monster with a deadly appetite. Ahead of the film's April 7th digital release from Terror Films, we have the trailer to share with Daily Dead readers!

Here's what Monte Light had to say about the making of Blood Covered Chocolate:

“Shot in black-and-white by award-winning cinematographer Neal Tyler, Blood Covered Chocolate acts as an homage to the one-hundred-year-old F.W. Murnau classic Nosferatu. While indebted to the history of cinema, it is also a timely commentary on the demons and addictions inherent in modern life. As an exploration of my own struggles with substance abuse, this is the most personal movie I've ever made.”

Ash and Bone is directed by Harley Wallen, written by Bret Miller and stars Jamie Bernadette (I Spit on Your Grave: Deja vu), Angelina Danielle Cama (An Intrusion), Harley Wallen (Tale of Tails), Kaiti Wallen (Agramon’s Gate), Erika Hoveland (Before I Wake), Jimmy Doom (Kill the Irishman) and Mel Novak (Bruce Lee’s Game of Death).

Wallen who also made the supernatural thriller Agramon’s Gate in honor of those style films that inspired him such as The Exorcist and Poltergeist etc, now gives a nod towards another era and style of horror films with Ash and Bone leaning towards the early 2000’s such as Wrong Turn, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and House of Wax.

With a celebrity stacked guest list, it’s easy to see why so much of Hollywood has set their sights on Wallen as a filmmaker as he keeps turning out hit films. The event will...

Recognised as one of the original scream queens and a career spanning over three decades, Debra Lamb continues to work in film both as an actress and writer. I was lucky enough to talk with Debra about working on her upcoming film projects There’s No Such Thing as Zombies and Expresso to Die For, the title of a scream queen title, her short stories and an idea for the delicious sounding vegan dish ‘Lamb Stew.’ Check out part one of this interview right here.

A slightly longer question for you here. Although you have worked in the various genres over the years, your name has been synonymous with the term Scream Queen. There has been some debate recently as to whether the Scream Queen title is still relevant and if it is being overused. How do you feel about the title Scream Queen having been one of the originals along with Linnea Quigley,...

She said if I enrol you in ballet you really have to be committed. So, I started Ballet when I was seven and you know how little kids I are didn’t want to practise, but...

I have an a long history with Deathrow Gameshow, just not a history that actually involves seeing the film however! You see, when I was in college I used to spend all my free time at a local flea market scouring the stalls for ex-rental VHS tapes. And I stocked up big time. However there was one film I never bought but one that seemed to follow me everywhere I went… Deathrow Gameshow. Every stall seemed to have a copy of the old VHS tape but each and Every tape had issues: mold, damage, torn cover, etc. So I never bought it; and – unless I missed it – the film never made the transition to DVD here in England…

But now comes the Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray which features...

Lake of Shadows will combine the sub genre of found footage and traditional horror as the team seeks out a legend of a large man eating fish that lives in the lake. This documentary horror film combines urban legend with fact and incorporates the sub genre of found footage.

Stories have been told over the years surrounding these deaths and what lurks below. Many local residents believe the lake is haunted.

The club is run by suave Russian ex-gangster Nikolai (Jack E. Curenton) and his assistant Markus (Mark Cirillo). Yakuza mobster Kazuko (Guil Claveria) comes to scope out the club with his girlfriend Anna (Brenna Rhea).

Detective Vanessa Ravenwood (Debra Lamb) enters to shake down Nikolai and harass the bad-ass bartender Brenda (Liane Langford), and ends up getting harassed herself by Loxley (Daniel Krause).

Meanwhile, Arlen (Arlan Godthaab) is treating his wife Jana (Diane Chambers) to a special birthday present, with the help of Louis (Terry Opp).

We return with another edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes details on a Wes Craven art exhibition, the first sighting of Megafoot, a 100 zombie films graphical print, first photos from Australian Horror film, Barrow, an interview with actor, writer, and filmmaker Sean Stone, and much more:

The Horror Legacy of Wes Craven Exhibit Details: “Wes Craven has been feeding our collective horror consciousness since 1972, when his first feature, “The Last House on the Left,” debuted. That film was gritty, raw and terrifying, it still causes a guttural reaction some 40 years later. In his career, Wes has created some of the most memorable moments in horror cinema, from the torture scene in “The Serpent and the Rainbow,” to the Johnny Depp’s explosive scene in “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” to the first glimpse of Michael Berryman’s savagery in “The Hills Have Eyes.

Before directing Detroit Rock City and unleashing a giant sperm on New York City in the “Wadzilla” segment of Chillerama, Adam Rifkin introduced the world to a horny, psychopathic phantom known as The Invisible Maniac. Not enough movie maniacs have their own personal theme songs, if you ask me.

Working under the alias “Rif Coogan”, Rifkin helmed this 1990 T&A slasher comedy about a sexually repressed nerd named Kevin Dornwinkle, who grows up to invent invisibility only to be mocked by his colleagues. The stinging mockery drives him over the edge so he murders them. He escapes from an insane asylum and goes incognito as a summer school teacher, where he continues to perfect his invisibility formula while taking an unhealthy interest in student bodies, particularly those of scream queens Melissa Moore, Debra Lamb, and the late porn star Savannah.

I’m fairly certain Rifkin is one of the many...

The evil that follows is delved in the deepest of bloody historical secrets, (the Countess) Bathory!”

When you go to the theater, don't you wish you could see a horror film that wasn't released by a studio? Don't you wish there was more indie stuff playing? Well, now is your chance! From Brad Leo Lyon (Little Creeps, staring Joe Estevez - uncle to former Two & A Half Men star Charlie Sheen) comes Lyon Motion Pictures - a company dedicated to limited theatrical engagements of independent horror. One of the first titles slated for release is the sure to be cult classic Drive-In Massacre, written & produced by yours truly - Brandon Sites.

With Drive-In Massacre producer Brandon Sites promised sex, drugs, a drive-in and, of course, a massacre. He then went on to ponder "what else could you want?". ...well, there was one thing missing. How about a little rock n' roll? Jonathan Tiersten, who so memorably starred in Sleepaway Camp, Return to Sleepaway Camp & The Perfect House, has just signed on to star in Drive-In Massacre.

Jonathan Tiersten is able to convey that bad boy sensibility effortlessly. There is something inherently exciting and dangerous about that kind of persona on screen which seamlessly lends itself to a slasher. He was that missing element that will bring it all together in Drive-In Massacre.

Drive-In Massacre is about a cursed drive-in movie theater. A group of college aged kids who ignored all the signs. Now, one fateful night he will make them pay for their indiscretions.... in Blood!!!

Joe Hollow

From Joe Hollow, the director behind the indie slasher event of 2011 – “Cut”, and executive producers Shawn Allen & Debra Lamb comes "Mountain of the Flesh Eaters". Inspired by a short story written by Shawn Allen, Mountain of the Flesh Eaters follows in the terrifying tradition of such horror classics as The Hills Have Eyes & The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as a series of brutal, unrelenting murders plague a small town and the sheriff that gets caught up in the chaos.

Looking to join the ranks alongside those classics, Mountain of the Flesh Eaters will actually be told from the point of view of the flesh eating, blood thirsty cannibals themselves. With Mountain of the Flesh Eaters, film writer Joe Hollow is looking to get beyond the stereotypical characterizations and get to the heart of what makes these cannibals who they are. What makes them tick? What makes them engage in these cannibalistic activities?...

Mountain of the Flesheaters The people behind Mountain of the Flesheaters, which is getting set to start filming pretty soon, have just released a cast list with some of the actors involved in the project. One word that comes to mind when seeing all these names is "Wow!". Even if the film fails from a story standpoint (which we hope it doesn't), at least there will be this huge cast to help keep your interest. Some of the names that appear in this cast are iconic horror actors that fans everywhere grew up watching mixed with some of the brightest new talents in the indie horror field. Here's some of the actors and actresses that will be appearing in the film:

-Debra Lamb (Stripped to Kill & Beverly Hills Vamp)

-Linnea Quigley (The Return of the Living Dead & Silent Night, Deadly Night)

-Lynn Lowry (Cat People & The Crazies...
