We told you it was good! Son of Ghostman, the horror-themed comedy about two rival horror movie hosts, was recently named Best Independent Film by the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards Committee, and Kurt Edward Larsen, writer/director of Son of Ghostman, wants to celebrate.

We at Dread Central were lucky enough to be the recipients of an exclusive clip from Son of Ghostman (review), handpicked by Larsen, to share with you. It features Denny McNamara (played wonderfully by Devin Ordoyne) as the Son of Ghostman.

Indie Spotlight Review: Nobody Can Cool

by Heather Wixson

Nobody Can Cool is the rather impressive directorial debut from up-and-coming filmmaking duo Dpyx, Marcy Boyle and Rachel Holzman, who crafted a blisteringly taut and thoughtful indie crime thriller with a palpable sense of tension from start to finish.
