The first trailer for Mandy, the much-anticipated action-horror film festival fave directed by Panos Cosmatos (Beyond the Black Rainbow) and starring the one and only Nicolas Cage, has been released by RLJE Films.
A few years back, a new found footage movie titled The Houses October Built arrived. The movie followed a group of friends seeking out the scariest underground haunted house attractions, when their quest becomes far more terrifying than they ever could have anticipated.
Now a sequel to the movie, simply titled The Houses October Built 2, is on the way, and RLJ Entertainment has released an official trailer for it.

As soon as I saw the cover art for the home video release of A Christmas Horror Story, which features Santa Claus battling Krampus in a design that looks like the people behind Game Of Thrones could have created it, I knew I was going to love this movie. As it turns out, I totally did.
I’m just getting that out of the way right up front.
A Christmas Horror Story is a Christmas horror film that includes the kind of old-school frights we’re used to viewing in October, along with the whimsy we’re used to getting during the yuletide. Imagine if Home Alone was just a tad less endearing and much less slapstick, but ten times more bloody. It looks beautiful for a low budget production, especially one of the horror genre, and has a vibe similar to Trick ‘r Treat, another anthology film I love.
In the spirit of the Halloween season, the team behind The Houses October Built has created a map with a list of America’s Scariest Haunts.
Locations marked with blue skeletal masks are the haunted house attractions featured in the film, while the ones marked with orange pumpkins are notable haunts for horror enthusiasts to investigate. This map will no doubt lead to more than a few road trips after audiences see this crazy film.
