V/H/S Dominates The Magnet Releasing Booth At 2012 NY Comic Con

One of the coolest booths on the floor of the 2012 NY Comic Con had to be Magnet Releasing. The independent distribution company boasts an impressive collection of back titles such as Hobo With A Shotgun, God Bless America, and Monsters (to name a few) and they are just getting stronger and stronger withe each release. The booth at comic con featured 6 alternate posters for their newest release, V/H/S, as well as a cool ass add for The ABC's of Death.Jeff has checked out V/H/S already (I am literally about to watch it as we speak) and loved the flick, and I have heard nothing but good things from my favorite horror bloggers like Johnny over at Freddy In Space. The Magnet gang was giving away T Shirts, posters, buttons, and also selling DVDs & Blu Rays of their catalog for 15 & 20 bucks... which is hella cheap for indy films! The guys working the booth were also super cool, so kudos to them for putting a killer staff in place. Check out the posters after the jump and some pics of the booth as well....

Editors note: I have added the artists name to each poster and a high res version of each to accompany the shots I took of the Magnet Booth.

Her are the pics we took from the floor (and some we stole from the Magnet Facebook page!!!)

V/H/S Hopes To Bring Back The Golden Age of Horror Anthology Films

As an 80s baby I miss the days of the horror anthology. At the time we were lucky enough to be blessed with numerous horror anthologies on both TV and on the big screen. TV shows like Tales From The Darkside, Tales From The Crypt, Friday the 13th: The Series, and The Outer Limits were on the air scaring the shit out of me with a different story every episode. Movies like Creepshow 1 & 2, Cat's Eye,  Two Evil Eyes, Body Bags, and film versions of Tales From the Darkside/Crypt all brought the scares to the movie theater and took that extra step that the TV counterparts couldn't pull off. But for a while, horror anthologies went by the wayside. It wasn't until 2007's Trick R' Treat (a favorite of Jeff & I here at CCD) that a meaningful horror anthology hit the screen, and by was it a doozy! That film started the ball rolling on a few more recent projects like Chillerama and even the Grindhouse movie from Tarantino/Rodriguez (when pairing the two movies with the faux trailer mini movies, you get anthology). But now we have a film that is promising to bring it all full circle, and some of Horror's best young talented writers & directors are hoping to make it happen. V/H/S comes to us courtesy of Ti West (House of the Devil), and he is accompanied by talents like Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Joe Swanberg, and the guys of Radio Silence in this found footage anthology... and boy does this Red Band Trailer look insane!!! The film hits on October 5th. Check out the trailer after the jump...
