Dead Slate First Details and Director Announced: Press Release: "Ghost Walk Studios & 333 Productions are proud to announce Staci Layne Wilson as the director of their upcoming horror feature Dead Slate.

Dead Slate takes you behind the scenes of a slasher film production and follows the stereotypical cast as they are stalked by a masked psychopath who slays in homage to classic cinematic murder set pieces. Max Wasa (Death House) will star as Sammie Borden, the film’s director of the movie-within-a-movie, and Brooke Lewis (iMurders) will portray Captain Lisa Jones.

In today's Horror Highlights, we have a Q&A with The Gracefield Incident at Mathieu Ratthe, new stills from Volumes of Blood: Horror Stories, and details on Famous Monsters of Filmland's presence at this year's San Diego Comic-Con.

Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Mathieu. How and when did you first come up with the idea for The Gracefield Incident?

Mathieu Ratthe: First of all, thank you, Derek, for your interest in our film. I wanted to create a suspenseful story that scared the crap out of the audience, but also made them emotionally involved, which is really tough to do in this kind of movie, but I think we achieved it pretty well in our film.

The conceptual idea (or I liked to call it the “technique”) came after I realized how many days I was given to shoot our film with the budget that I had.

Some of the most memorable music videos have been horror-themed. Perhaps the most popular video of all time is Michael Jackson's "Thriller", and it doesn't get much more like a scary movie than that. Or how about Metallica's "One" video? Psychologically scary stuff. Mina Fedora now has her own spooky video to show you.

We recently got word about the video for the up-and-coming artist's song "Nightwatch", which plays out like a slasher/haunted house film, and thought we'd share. Directed by Neil Kellen and Lewis D. Chaney, the video stars Larissa Ross, Rusty James, Derek Mullins, Seth Cheek, Cindy Maples, and Megan (Jones) McGregor along with Fedora. The F/X were handled by Dave Snyder.

Take a look at "Nightwatch" below, and let us know if you think it has the makings to be the next memorable horror music video. And then check out Mina Fedora on Facebook.

Big Biting Pig Productions has released their horror film Widow, written and directed by directrice P.J. Woodside, on DVD and are self-distributing. What's cool about this film, as you'll see by the trailer, is the refreshing focus on two realistic female characters and their familial relationships.

Vivian Potts is haunted by disturbing dreams of her recently deceased husband, Alex. When her sister admits to having similar dreams, Vivian is convinced Alex is trying to communicate with them. Is she losing her mind, or is the truth more terrifying than she could ever imagine?...

Starring Cindy Maples, Kim Welsh, Steve Hudgins, and Rusty James.
