'Zombeavers' In Theaters and VOD Today

March 20 not only marks the first day of spring, there's something equally exciting happening on this fine Friday. Yes, boys and girls, today marks the day when Epic Pictures' Zombeavers is released in theaters and Video on Demand. I remember when the trailer for this film hit over a year ago and I got a little too excited. (insert eager beaver joke here)

The Jordan Rubin-directed film is described by IMDB as, "A fun weekend turns into madness and horror for a bunch of groupies looking for fun in a beaver infested swamp." Enough said?

The LA Times had decent things to say, "Zombeavers is the mutant love child of horror specialist Troma, early Peter Jackson, Japanese kaiju flicks and Canadian television sketch comedies — a film that disgusts, terrifies and tickles in equal measure with grotesque creatures and a sickening sense of humor." They go on to say, "Despite the deliberately schlocky effects and puppetry, other aspects of the filmmaking are surprisingly satisfactory." Well I know how I'm spending my Friday night!

Check out the trailers and then let us know if you plan on checking it out. We're sure the theater experience would be dam good but most of us will enjoy it in the privacy and safety of our own homes. You can click here for a list of theaters.

New Tony Todd Horror Film Takes Us Into the 'Dead of the Nite'

Courtesy DreadCentral

Tony Todd ("Candyman," "Hatchet") has certainly made a name for himself as a recognizable horror icon and by the looks of this new trailer, compliments of DreadCentral, he's showing no signs of slowing. "Dead of the Nite" is a paranormal/horror film that's being released in stores and VOD on January 7, 2014. It also stars fellow horror stars Simon Bamford (The Butterball Cenobite from "Hellraiser"), and Suzie Lorraine ("Roxanna").

The ominous warning on the poster certainly sets the tone for the film: "Death follows those who seek it." Read the official synopsis (also compliments of DreadCentral) and check out the trailer below:

When a group of internet sensation ghost hunters are found brutally slaughtered in the infamous Jericho Manor, police detectives Jenkins (Gary Mavers) and Anderson (Joseph Millson) must piece together what happened on the fatal night by viewing the paranormal investigators' video footage. With the only witness being the secretive caretaker (Tony Todd) claiming it was the ghost of killer Jeffery Heath, will the detectives discover more than they had bargained for?

From ghostly happenings to breathtaking action thanks to stunt coordinator Claudio Pacifico ("MI:III," "Pirates of the Caribbean 4," "Gang of New York"), "Dead of the Night" will have audiences on the edge of their seats and guessing until the very end as to who, or what, is slaughtering the team and usher in the new dawn of ‘psychological slashers’.
