The co-founder of Buffalo Screams Horror Film Festival and Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival is launching a new event dedicated to imaginative cinema.

Amazing Fantasy Fest, a new film festival created by cult filmmaker and Buffalo resident Gregory Lamberson (Slime City, Killer Rack) will debut in the Nickel City in 2024. Lamberson previously co-founded Buffalo Screams Horror Film Festival, which ran for three years, and Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival, which just concluded an acclaimed ten-year run. Amazing Fantasy Fest (Aff) is his first festival as solo director.

Like its predecessors, Amazing Fantasy Fest will be a week-long celebration of independent films from around the world in the genres of Horror, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Action, Animation and Experimental. Lamberson will continue to spotlight the work of local artists, including Western New York students. Appropriately, the inaugural 2024 edition will launch on Friday the 13th of September at Dipson’s Amherst Theatre.

[Guest authors Christopher Lombardo and Jeff Kirschner of Really Awful Movies take a look back at some of the most memorable slimy moments in the horror and sci-fi genres.] In Jean-Paul Sartre’s Being and Nothingness, the philosopher weighs in on the icky properties of slime: “…it sticks to me, it draws me, it sucks at me. Its mode of being is neither the reassuring inertia of the solid nor a dynamism…”

The author described “le visqueux” (viscosity) at length, and reportedly even stared at algae to experience the repulsive feelings associated with the title and theme of his dour novel Nausea.

When it comes to phobias, a fear of slime sits pretty low on the list. Who has even heard of blennophobia compared with more prevalent fears such as agora- or arachnophobia?

Perhaps because it’s one of those fears, like being scared of fire, that is so ubiquitous that it doesn’t really need a psychological condition or fancy verbiage attached to it. After all, it’s pretty rare to experience fire in your day-to-day life (as...

Leading today’s Horror Highlights is four clips from IFC Midnight’s Antibirth. Following Danny Perez’s trippy debut, is a new trailer for Daylight’s End, Kickstarter information on Steve Johnson’s Rubberhead Sex, Drugs, and Special FX, and release details for a Slime City double feature Blu-ray.

Watch Four Clips from Antibirth: “Hard-drinking, pill-popping, bong-ripping Lou (Natasha Lyonne) and her best friend Sadie (Chloë Sevigny) spend their days adrift in a druggy haze. But one wild night out becomes a bad trip that never ends when Lou wakes up with symptoms of an unexplained, highly abnormal pregnancy. Who—or what—is growing inside her? As her due date approaches with alarming swiftness, the fear, paranoia, and conspiracy theories begin to pile up. Spiked with blasts of hallucinatory color, surreal shocks, and subversive comedy, the audacious feature debut from Danny Perez is a no-holds-barred descent into delirium.”

In anticipation of the release of Ghostbusters, which brings the legendary franchise back to theaters with a new team fighting the paranormal on July 15, Sony Pictures and moviegoers across the country will celebrate the classic franchise with Ghostbusters Day on Wednesday, June 8 – the anniversary of the release date of the original 1984 film.

A new Ghostbusters game has been revealed via a teaser trailer and will release this July.

The new game is based on the upcoming movie and will release July 12th. The gameplay will be like top down arcade games, which we are used to by now, with co-op play across characters. The visual are cartoonish style, but the game seems to have a nice classic feeling to it.

Back in January the game was announced and Activision said it would be a full on title to accompany the upcoming film, which releases July 15. For specific details, while the movie focuses on mainly a female cast, the game will let you play as male or female characters. The storyline also takes place shortly after the events in the movie, while still taking place in New York.

Buffalo-based filmmaker and author Gregory Lamberson (Slime City, Dry Bones) is back with his brand of warped, low budget shenanigans, this time giving murderous sentience to a “killer rack.” As you might imagine, Killer Rack is designed to be an outrageous, wrong piece of work, and its trailer certainly delivers on Diy madness and attitude.

A more serious take on slime punk films like Toxic Avenger and Slime City, Jesse Thomas Cook's Septic Man (review) has more in common with Cronenberg’s tragic transformation tale The Fly.

Thanks mostly to the twisted mind of screenwriter Tony Burgess (Pontypool), Septic Man has a lot more going on under the surface than just a basic story about a man trapped underground inside a tank of absolute filth who begins to transform into something monstrous.

Director Cook spoke with us about the film and how it was one of the hardest, grossest experiences of his professional life thus far - but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a hell of a time doing it.

A young boy sees his dad abducted by some unseen force. Three years later a meteor hits in the middle of the woods and brings something icky. Written, directed and scored by Harry Bromley Davenport, Xtro is a demented labor of love. The first twenty minutes are the most chunk blowing worthy moments.

It was exactly a month ago when we first told you about Creepers aka Horror Anthology Movie Vol. 2, and over this past weekend one of its segments, "Gave Up the Ghost," was filmed. Here's some concept art along with the first details on it.

Authors Gregory Lamberson (Carnage Road, The Jake Helman Files) and Jeff Strand (Pressure, I Have a Bad Feeling About This) are collaborating on a film adaptation of Strand's story "Gave Up the Ghost" for the upcoming horror anthology Creepers, executive produced by Mike T. Lyddon of Reel Progress.

Synopsis

Stars: Michael Moriarty, Andrea Marcovicci, Garrett Morris, Paul Sorvino, Scott Bloom, Danny Aiello, Patrick O’Neal, Alexander Scourby | Written and Directed by Larry Cohen

In 1985, New York director Larry Cohen (It’s Alive, Full Moon High) took to the camera to bring us a cult classic called The Stuff, the story of a strange “goo” found coming from the Earth which is packaged up and sold as a delicious desert treat. The only problem is that when the customers of the product eat it they turn into flesh eating zombies.

The story is not dissimilar to another cult favourite of mine, Street Trash (J. Michael Muro, 1987), which dealt with a liquor that turned it’s drinkers to sludge, only in this case the people who, for lack of a less dirty sounding term, swallow the stuff, end up as zombies. It’s a wonderfully silly plot that works wonderfully with the rest of the film.

Word of a new anthology film that's in pre-production landed in our inbox recently, and with names like Joe R. Lansdale, Gregory Lamberson, and even Edgar Allen Poe involved, Creepers aka Horror Anthology Movie Vol. 2 is planted firmly on our radar. Here's the early info.

From the Press Release:

Reel Progress LLC is pleased to announce that the feature length horror film Creepers aka Horror Anthology Movie Vol. 2 is in pre-production. Shooting begins in March, 2014. Production will wrap in July with a release anticipated for October, 2014.

Featuring two stories from contemporary horror writers Joe R. Lansdale (Bubba Ho-Tep, Cold in July, The Bottoms) and Jeff Strand (Dweller, Wolf Hunt, Dead Clown Barbecue) and two classic tales of terror from Lafcadio Hearn (also known by the Japanese name Koizumi Yakumo) and Edgar Allan Poe, Creepers celebrates the weird written word adapted from scribe to screen.

The directors include author (The Jake Helman Files,...

Regardless of how you feel about horror anthology films, it’s obvious that they aren’t going anywhere. And why would they? The format allows for nascent filmmakers to flex their chops on a short segment before feeling the pressure of a full feature; and given that the short story is the most prominent and effective form of horror (just look at the masters: Poe, Lovecraft, Matheson), it also provides the opportunity to experience these tales visually without stretching them thin to reach standard film length. It’s like reading a literary magazine from cover to cover: different styles, different effects, different scares. I’m all for it.

This past June filmmaker Gregory Lamberson mentioned Killer Rack as a movie he had lined up to direct once he completed a few other projects that were in the works, and now that they've wrapped, he's kicking off the horror comedy in style with a teaser poster, casting news, and more.

From the Press Release:

Filmmaker and author Gregory Lamberson (Slime City, The Jake Helman Files) has announced the next film he'll direct is Killer Rack, a comedy written by Paul McGinnis, who has a supporting role in Dry Bones, which Lamberson co-directed with Michael O'Hear.

Lamberson is co-producing the film with McGinnis and Rod Durick, who contributed special make-up effects to Lamberson's Slime City Massacre as well as Dry Bones. The trio have tapped Debbie Rochon to play a key role in the film.

We just got some info Bloodmarsh Krackoon, a feature-length horror comedy written and directed by Jerry Landi. It's a sequel to Landi's Krackoon, a short film that was a big hit on the festival circuit a couple of years ago.

Believing that his mutant, crack addicted raccoon Red Eye warranted a bigger tale, Jerry Landi has fashioned Bloodmarsh Krackoon as a continuation of the short, structuring it as a reboot to bring new viewers up-to-speed. In addition to Red Eye, Bloodmarsh reunites Krackoon co-stars Sal Amore and Joseph Ferri, whose characters survived Red Eye’s original onslaught.

Snow Shark: Ancient Snow Beast, the feature film debut of screenwriter, director, and actor Sam Qualiana, has been acquired for worldwide distribution by Independent Entertainment, part of the Alternative Cinema network. The deal includes DVD, VOD, cable, and digital downloads.

“This is a real achievement for everyone involved with Snow Shark,” says Gregory Lamberson, one of the film’s producers. “As many filmmakers have come to realize, the market for independent genre films is brutal, and obtaining distribution can seem like an impossible goal. We’re thrilled to be working with Independent Entertainment and the wonderful people at Alternative Cinema. I know they’ll give this film the tender loving care it deserves.”

Other Alternative Cinema brands include Shock-o-Rama Cinema, Seduction Cinema, and Camp Motion Pictures. The company offers Lamberson’s first three films, Slime City, Undying Love, and Naked Fear on the two-disc DVD Greg Lamberson’s Slime City Grindhouse Collection.

It's the goo that just keeps on giving.

Filmmaker Gregory Lamberson is spreading his sticky celebration of 80s cult movies even further.

Slime City Massacre, which stars Debbie Rochon and Brooke Lewis and features cameos by Roy Frumkes and Lloyd Kaufman, is heading for Buffalo's Beyond Ghosts ParaHorror Weekend on May 26 following this month's screenings in Tampa and Las Vegas.

After slithering around the horror film festival circuit, Scm - which sees bomb survivors transformed into murderous slime creatures - was released on DVD in 2011 by Media Blasters and enjoyed a limited theatrical release from Indie Film Net.

"This is what it takes to make the audience aware of a film that defies easy categorisation," says Lamberson. "Scm is horror, it's sci-fi, it's action, it's bizarro comedy."

He added: "It took the original Slime City about 18 years to develop its reputation as a cult film; it needed to fade away and be rereleased and rediscovered.

Author and filmmaker Gregory Lamberson has announced three new theatrical screenings for Slime City Massacre, his gooey celebration of 1980s cult films which stars Debbie Rochon and Brooke Lewis and features cameos by Roy Frumkes and Lloyd Kaufman, taking place in Tampa, Fl; Las Vegas, Nv; and his hometown of Buffalo, NY.

After a successful tour on the horror film festival circuit, Scm was released on DVD in 2011 by Media Blasters and enjoyed a limited theatrical release from iFN, Indie Film Net.

“This is what it takes to make the audience aware of a film that defies easy categorization,” says Lamberson. “Scm is horror, it’s sci-fi, it's action, and it's bizarro comedy. It took the original Slime City about eighteen years to develop its reputation as a cult film; it needed to fade away and be re-released and rediscovered. Our goal with Scm is to keep it out there...

Previously released in an extremely limited theatrical run (and on DVD, subsequently), Slime City Massacre is the brainchild of filmmaker Greg Lamberson, and serves as a follow up to one of the man’s most recognized works, Slime City. Familiar faces in Debbie Rochon, Brooke Lewis and Lloyd Kaufman help fill the cast. If you missed this outrageous throwback flick, you’re about to get three new opportunities to take in the insanity via the big screen. Check out the details below, especially if you’re currently a resident of Tampa, Las Vegas or Buffalo.

Okay, Southwest Florida horror fans, this is your chance to show your love for the wild world of cult film as CultMovieMania.com brings a NYC 42nd Street Grindhouse vibe to Tampa, Florida, with the debut of its weekly Screaming Cinema Series on Thursday, February 9th.

From the Press Release:

Movie fans will experience the Best independently produced cult movies of the new millennium at the Tampa Pitcher Show theater. The series kicks off with Greg Lamberson’s Slime City Massacre, an uproarious sequel to his ‘80s hit Slime City, followed weekly by:

* The Theatre Bizarre, an all-new horror anthology starring Udo Kier, Debbie Rochon, and Catriona MacColl with segments directed by Tom Savini, Richard Stanley, Buddy Giovinazzo, Karim Hussein, Jeremy Kasten, Douglas Buck, and David Gregory. Extremely erotic and gory! Not for the squeamish!

* Dear God No!, an outrageously campy biker/horror movie, winner of multiple festival awards, and directed by James Bickert.

When we say Greg Lamberson wrote the book on low-budget horror filmmaking, we mean it literally, and he's got the book to prove it. Back in 2009, Cheap Scares not only offered a lot of hard-earned advice from the hard-knocks school of Diy film production, but also gave readers a funny and fascinating look at the making of his 1988 cult classic Slime City. In the years since that film sprang up on the midnight-movie circuit, Lamberson has ventured deep into horror fiction, comics and other media, and the movie finally got a cool remastered DVD release in 2006. Rumors of a Slime City sequel buzzed around the horror community for ages – eventually becoming reality last year, when Slime City Massacre began making the film-fest...

Here's some exciting news for fans of Gregory Lamberson’s 1988 cult horror film Slime City. The sequel, Slime City Massacre has scored a theatrical release through indieFilmNet’s new Cinema Meets Horror platform. Ifn will be releasing Scm as midnight screenings or full-on engagements through digital theaters in North America . The company has already programmed such grindhouse fare as Hobo with a Shotgun and El Monstro Del Mar.

Later this summer Slime City Massacre will be released theatrically through indieFilmNet’s new "Cinema Meets Horror" midnight movie-flavored series. Ifn will make the film available to as many as 60 digital theaters in North America, which can book it as a midnight show, single screening, or full-on engagement.

From the Press Release: “The media landscape has changed so drastically that the release pattern for independent films is changing as well,” says Lamberson, who wrote and directed Scm. “Filmmakers used to hope for a theatrical release, a VHS or DVD release, and then cable play. Now, with Video on Demand and streaming, everyone’s scrambling to find a new formula that works. IndieFilmNet is offering alternative programming at a time when big studios and multiplexes control what genre fans see on the big screen.”

IndieFilmNet, based in Montreal, Canada, offers programming to a network of 50 digital cinemas in the Us, 10 in Canada,...

Writer/director Gregory Lamberson’s 1988 cult hit “Slime City” was one of those forgotten gems that finally reached a much larger audience courtesy of the DVD back in 2006.

Where other films deliver on the abovementioned goods (bads?), Street Trash emits a giant “Fuck You”, and then sodomizes you while simultaneously belittling you for contributing to the human race! Never has a film raped the corneas, as well as the silver screens, of the world with such gusto and abhorrent negligence.
