Distribution News for Midnight Syndicate's The Dead Matter

You know that expression "If you want something done right, do it yourself"? Well, in the case of Midnight Syndicate's upcoming DVD release of The Dead Matter, we've gotten word from the film’s director, Edward Douglas, that he's doing just that. He's keeping it indie and distributing it himself ... with a little help from Hot Topic stores nationwide.

    The Dead Matter Trailer is Live!

    This Halloween Hot Topic has decided to celebrate all things dark and spooky (as opposed to their usual light & colorful tone) with the launch of a special Halloween website called, confusingly, T3n Th1rty One (that’s “Ten Thirty-One” for those of you struggling at home).

    Syndicate Realize Dead Matter

    Everyone who starts their filmmaking career off with a low budget interpretation of what they see as a grand concept wishes, at one point or another, that they could just go back and remake it. Not in the George Lucas sense of more or less ruining the original film necessarily, but I’m sure all filmmakers have wished their first works were closer to their true vision.
