Monroeville Zombies Invade Horrorfind!
This is one thing I love about our genre; if a horror film is popular enough with fans, you can make almost any merchandise related to it and have a built-in consumer base.

Universal Wants Your Shorts!
Oh, man, another short film competition. Though this one is definitely cooler than most as Unviersal is putting it on to coincide with this year’s Halloween Horror Nights.
Uni have announced a new short film competition called “Where Nightmares Come Alive”, inviting perspective filmmakers to submit their shorts ranging in runtime from 90 seconds to three minutes. Certainly not a lot of time to get your story told, is it?

WildClaw Searching for Deathscribes
Before the advent of the TV, everyone used to huddle around the radio to listen to shows like "The Shadow" and "War of the Worlds". If you haven’t heard some old recordings of those, you really should try and track them down. They’re amazing. But sadly, those days are long gone.
