Pie-thon is a satirical horror from Tis Films – it revolves around a pie eating contest that goes wrong when the pies are spiked with snakes – hilarity and horror ensues. It will be part of the horror anthology feature film HorrorScopes Vol. 2.

The film will launch the brand-new Video Dungeon label and will be limited to 250 copies.

This is the first of a currently planned three releases. The profits from the Video Shop Tales Of Terror Blu-ray will go directly into funding subsequent Video Shop films.

We will also be partnering with other filmmakers to release their features, and unlike most distributors, our focus is giving them the lion’s-share of the profits to fund their future endeavours and our profits will be funnelled into future film projects.

We want to give film fans truly original releases which have been lovingly put together with the viewer and collector in mind. Our releases will be very limited runs of...

In his latest interview from this year’s Romford Horror Film Festival, Kevin sits down with eleven(!) members of the cast and crew of the new British horror anthology Video Shop Tales of Terror.

Six terrifying tales emanate from a sinister video shop in this British retro anthology movie and loving tribute to the 1980s VHS era. Every tale is handled by a respected indie horror director: Mj Dixon (Pandamonium), Sam Mason-Bell (Acting), Ciao Handy (Tales from the Great War), Alexander Churchyard (I Scream on the Beach!), Tom Lee Rutter (Day of the Stranger) and Michael Fausti (Exit). With faux trailers from Geoff Harmer (Dead Air) & Tony Mardon (The Witches of the Sands). Immerse yourself in two hours of retro horror nostalgia, from a bunch of people who love the era as much as you do! This is an anthology horror in the classic style of horror studios from the past but with a twist.
