Darin Scott

And the lineup for this year's Sitges Film Festival, which runs 6-16 October on the Catalan coast of Spain, continues to grow. A big batch of "Special Session" short films has been added to the lineup, including seven episodes of the Cinemax "Femme Fatales" TV series directed by a host of popular genre directors such as Richard Hollis, Frank McCloud, Steve Kriozere, Mark A. Altman, Darin Scott, and Buddy Giovinazzo.

One of the best damned indie directors working in the business today, Darin Scott, has a brand new fright flick on its way, and we have the early scoop on Optometrist for you right here in 20/20.

The votes are in, and we couldn't be happier to report that Darin Scott's Dark House is the winner of the Fangoria FrightFest film competition and will receive a theatrical release!

Now in its ninth year, the festival offered up plenty of scares with both the full-length features that played as well as a collection of fantastic short films.

Eugene, Oregon-based production company Merchant Films has wrapped filming of its sophomore feature, Something Wicked, and at the same time shared a slew of production stills and behind-the-scenes photos on the Facebook page of its Follow a Film social marketing campaign.

It seems to me that suspense is in danger of becoming something of a lost art in modern American horror. Sure there have been exceptions, but too many recent films fail to realize their true potential when it comes to lingering and unrelenting tension.

Finally, we've gotten our claws into the long awaited trailer for director Darin Scott's Dark House, which made its debut at this past LA Fangoria Weekend of Horrors. Ready for a little demonic mayhem? Some devilish hijinx? We thought you would be!

Darin Scott, whom you may know as one of the minds behind Tales From The Hood, dropped us a line today with a batch of stills (some of which are exclusive) from his new film, Dark House, and I have to say ... this flick looks really, really badass!
