CineMayhem 2014 already sold out for the special screenings of The Fog and Hellraiser, with a limited number of tickets still available for Vamp on Saturday, March 29th. If you weren't able to snag tickets for the first two nights, check back with us later this month, as we may have a surprise or two for Daily Dead readers. Until then, we have the lineup of short films that will be playing on all three nights:
The Body: "The film stars Alfie Allen (GAME OF THRONES), Hannah Tointon (THE INBETWEENERS), Jack Gordon (PANIC BUTTON) and Christian Brassington (BURKE & HARE) and tells the tale of a murderer (Allen) who uses the cover of Halloween night to causally transport his latest victim from the scene of the crime to his final resting place. Wrapping the body in tarpaulin and dragging it through the busy streets of London as a bloody Halloween prop, all goes to plan until an old school mate (Brassington) recognises the murderer and drags him along to a swanky Halloween party nearby, where a chance meeting with a beautiful girl (Tointon) takes his evening on an even bigger turn for the bizarre!"
Directed by Paul Davis, The Body stars Alfie Allen, Hannah Tointon, Jack Gordon and Christian Brassington. This short will play on Friday, March 28th.
Found: "This short mockumentary reveals the origins of found footage horror films."
Directed by Rebekah McKendry, Found stars Darren Lynn Bousman, AJ Bowen, and Morgan Peter Brown. This short will play on Saturday, March 29th.
Miracle on Metal Street: "George is a timid freelance artist that has been hired by a famous heavy metal band: REBORTION. Plagued by artist’s block, George falls behind deadline and the band’s daunting front man, Gary, threatens to beat George to a bloody pulp. When George approaches the final hours before deadline and all hope seems lost, he is visited by Scott, an over-confident bipolar demon from hell who is a huge Rebortion fan. Through song and dance, Scott forms a bond with George in order to inspire him to make the most bad-ass album cover ever!"
Directed by Carl Bachmann, Miracle on Metal Street stars Jonathan Le Billon, and Frederick Lawrence. This short will play on Saturday, March 29th.
