2018 Nightmares Film Festival Announced: Press Release: "For horror fans, Christmas has come three months early -- in the form of the Nightmares Film Festival 2018 program, revealed today by the leading genre fest.

True to its “#BetterHorror” motto, the program is jammed top to bottom with a mix of premier genre films from around the globe. Across the 188 films, there are dozens of world and North American premieres, a short accompanied by live in-theater music, projects from genre favorites, a Stephen King block, and even a new documentary section.

Heavy Metal movies are few and far between nowadays, and the last great one was Deathgasm. While we await that movie's sequel, today we get an odd new entry in this horror sub-genre that looks wickedly weird and all kinds of bad ass. Meet Johnny Gruesome, the next name in blood-soaked revenge.

Running tire marks around Ghost Rider...More vengeful than the Crow... Johnny Gruesome grants y'all a death wish this fall. This October, Johnny Grissom returns for revenge.

High school students Eric Carter and Johnny Grissom are best friends. Johnny is a heavy metal rebel nicknamed "Johnny Gruesome" by his classmates. When Johnny is murdered while on a drunken joyride, his killer persuades Eric and Johnny's girlfriend to help him make the murder look like an accidental death. Johnny returns from the grave as a murderous, wisecracking zombie hell bent on revenge.

Based on the award-winning novel by Gregory Lamberson,...

Lamberson will be directing from an award-winning screenplay by Paul McGinnis, and Lewis will provide the voice for the titular creature.

"Bring on the Boobs!" says Brooke Lewis, known for the film iMurders, her humorous character Ms. Vampy, and for tireless charity work on behalf of breast cancer research.

"As a woman who has felt challenged by being labeled 'buxom' and 'voluptuous' since her teens, then battling constant body image issues as an actress in Hollywood, I am overwhelmed with excitement for the opportunity to play Boobs in the absolutely hilarious and smart satirical feature film Killer Rack, written by Paul McGinnis and directed by Greg Lamberson,...

There are perhaps no more prolific actresses out there than horror icon Debbie Rochon. She has a list of credits to her name over 230 movies long and it's always growing. But she recently completed filming her directorial debut, Model Hunger, and can't wait to unleash it on the world.

Model Hunger stars Lynn Lowry, Tiffany Shepis, Carmine Capobianco, Brian Fortune, Michael Thurber, Aurelio Voltaire, Suzi Lorraine, Babette Bombshell, Geri Horn and Jayne Caswell. Rochon also enlisted the talents of well-known composer Henry Manfredini (who did extensive work on the Friday the 13th series) and a crew that she described as the best of the best for creating Model Hunger.

With such an extensive acting career, one wonders why Rochon never directed in the past as she's been in the entertainment business for most of her adult life. What finally triggered that desire to get her working on the other side of the camera?...
