By Night: Origins: Press Release: LOS ANGELES - Oct. 17, 2017 - By Night: Origins is a short-form anthology series for fans of horror, conspiracy and morality tales. Each episode journeys into the unknown with tales of the paranormal and horrors of the human condition revealing that everything has a dark side. Starring Joe DeRosa from Better Call Saul as The Nocturnal. Created by Matt Johnson and Robert Uncles.

The series delivers a new take on familiar themes from the horror genre, “We were very conscious about what people already know about aliens, creatures and conspiracy theories but we put a new twist on them so that we weren’t falling into cliché’s. I think we came up with truly original takes on all of the popular stories one might think they know. Beyond that, we are creating a universe where these stories live in that doesn’t seem phony or unreal. You will be on the edge of your seat, I promise!” said creator Robert Uncles.

The creators were influenced by their love of classic horror from Wes Craven to cult favorites like Tales from the Crypt and Creepshow, as well as anthologies like The Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, and Boris Karloff’s Thriller. By Night: Origins is the result of those classic influences updated for the modern viewer.

“Anthologies are on the rise. From Lore to Amazing Stories, Black Mirror, Room 104, Dimension 404 – they are back. But what sets By Night apart is the length. We are unabashedly short form, creative, fast, fun, terrifying morality tales you can view in 10-20 minutes. Maybe you watch one at lunch or right before bed. But at their core they also return to quality storytelling of old with a wide variety of topics. Plus there is an amazing one world conspiracy through line mixed cleverly throughout. Our goal is anthology amplified!” said creator Matt Johnson.

Appropriately, By Night: Origins released a teaser trailer on Friday the 13th and is releasing an extended scene from the series on Halloween, October 31st. Wide release of the series is scheduled for 2018. The trailer and extended scene will be available at ByNightTheSeries.com"

The Redeeming: Press Release: "Psychological thriller feature film 'The Redeeming' is to play its WORLD PREMIERE screening at the Horror-on-Sea Film Festival in Southend, Essex, UK at 2.30pm on 28th January 2018.  https://www.horror-on-sea.com/sunday-28th-january

Director Brian Barnes beams, “I’m thrilled that we get to show off 'The Redeeming' at the Horror-on-Sea Film Festival, as they're a lively audience of dedicated genre fans who will lap up the mesmerising concoction we have prepared for them."

This edge-of-your-seat thriller is a captivating cat-and-mouse game that plays out over the course of one night, where you’re never quite sure what will happen next.  Disturbed single mother Joyce (Tracey Ann Wood) must protect her home from mysterious stranger John (Ryan Wichert), but her struggle to hold onto her sanity could doom them both.

'The Redeeming' was shot in Somerset, Southwest England, UK in January 2014 during the terrible flooding and storms.  Rising floodwaters trapped the cast and crew in the house featured in the film.

Brian says of the shoot, “We channelled the isolation and claustrophobia of our predicament to ramp up the tension in the film.  Many scenes were shot by candlelight, which adds to the magical atmosphere of the film."

Lead actor Ryan Wichert (star of Germany’s Grimme-Preis nominated WDR TV show “The Unlikely Events of…”) adds, “The script was really gripping and unpredictable.  That whole play of what is real and what is in Joyce’s imagination.  That was a very exciting journey for the audience to go on."

Lead actress Tracey Ann Wood (star of the UK’s Royal National Theatre) enthuses, “I’ve had a ball playing Joyce!  The house almost represented her mind, and the different rooms different parts of her personality."

After 'The Redeeming' plays the festival, you can watch it on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon Instant Video and it will roll out across other VOD platforms in due course.

For fans of big-screen films, we are also setting up a crowd-funded screening in London’s West End in February or March.  Details will follow.

Ao-Terror-Oa: Press Release: "H2Ow​ ​Productions​ have launched New Zealand’s first ever anthology horror web series Ao-terror-oa.

Short film Road​ ​Trip​, along with its behind the scenes video are the first of six horror short films and exciting related horror content to be released online over the next six weeks.

Available at www.6weeksofhorror.com and on their H2Ow Youtube Channel Road​ ​Trip​ tells the tale of a classic Kiwi summer road trip, visiting amazing locations in a cramped campervan with good friends. But what happens when your campervan turns from a pleasure vehicle to a prison…. and how long do you have to be confined in a small space together before your best mates become your deadliest enemies?

The Ao-Terror-oa​ anthology (A play on Aotearoa - the indigenous Māori name for New Zealand) is a delightfully dark and perverse look at everything Kiwi - from Rugby (New Zealand’s brutal national sport) in Haka​ ​Atua​, the great outdoors in The​ ​Ranger​ or ‘fun in the sun’ with series closer Burn Time​ - after you see Ao-terror-oa​ nothing about New Zealand will appear the same again.

Jointly funded by NZ​ ​on​ ​Air​ and​ ​Google/Youtube​ as part of their Skip Ahead fund, series producer Hweiling Ow describes Ao-terror-oa as an incredible opportunity to tell horror tales that are impossible to set anywhere else, while still presenting them directly to horror fans worldwide.

Ao-terror-oa is directed by Peter Haynes (T​ ​is​ ​for​ ​Talk​,​ ​AFK​) and Nick Burridge, and co-produced by Johnathan Guest, Jocelyn Bunch and Monique Hoseason. Ao-Terror-oa​ also features a wealth of Kiwi acting talent, including Calum Gittins (Mortal​ ​Engines​, 6 days​, The​ ​King’s​ ​Speech​), Tian Tan (Crouching​ ​Tiger​ ​Hidden​ ​Dragon​ ​2​, Born​ ​to​ ​Dance​), Jordi Webber (Power​ ​Rangers​ ​Ninja​ ​Steel​) and Brittany Clark (Doctor,​ ​Doctor​).

Following the release of Road​ ​Trip​ ​the remaining 5 shorts in the Ao-Terror-Oa​ anthology are: Haka Atua​ (release date: November 3 NZDT), Tourist​ ​Trap​ (release date: November 10 NZDT), The​ ​Ranger (release date: November 17 NZDT), Milk​ (release date: November 24 NZDT), and Burn​ ​Time​ (release date: December 1 NZDT).

Screening alongside the shorts on the series’ YouTube channel will be two additional mini-series, Hweiling​ ​Watches​, where producer Hweiling Ow (whose stomach for watching horror doesn’t quite match her talent for thinking it up) hilariously reacts to watching horror films while hooked up to a heart monitor, and​ ​Basement​ ​of​ ​Horror​, where Jules and Yolanda from Auckland based special effect makeup company BODYFX​ give makeup tips in their own unique style.

Basement​ ​of​ ​Horror​ ​launches October 30 NZT, with Hweiling​ ​Watches​ launching November 3 NZT, and new episodes and behind the scenes for the shorts will release weekly as part of 6 Weeks of Horror
