MOVIE NIGHT : Chicago-Based HorrorBlock Film Fest Short #HBFilmFest
Recently Horror Block and Rue Morgue Magazine sponsored a short film contest; while the contest has ended, there was an entry from Chicago filmmaker Cyle Williamson that’s worth a watch, from the Chicago-based bait & switch slasher opening to the the Demons-inspired concept and music. Give it a LIKE on YouTube and keep an eye on Williamson!

Scary Stories: A Documentary
Chicago filmmaker Cody Meirick is making a documentary about one of the greatest children’s books ever published, and he needs your help to make it happen:
“This upcoming documentary will explore the history and background of one of the most controversial works of modern children’s literature: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. In many American libraries of the ’80s and ’90s these books developed a growing interest from boys and girls who were taken in by the gothic tales, the whimsical tone, and the ghostly illustrations. Now the Scary Stories book series stands as the most challenged children’s book of the last 30 years and a testament to the power of something that is often taken for granted: A good scary story.”
