We also have a teaser trailer for the short film as well in this story in case you missed it. Also in today's Horror Highlights: a call for submissions for this year's South Africa HorrorFest and release details for Michael Vaughn's book The Ultimate Guide to Strange Cinema.
Rotting Love Premieres at Dances With Films 2018: Press Release: "ROTTING LOVE, the new horror short film from Bit Parts and My Undeadly writer/director Dave Reda, is an official selection of the Dances With Films festival. The world-famous TCL Chinese Theatre will feature Rotting Love at 11:45 p.m. on June 15, 2018, as part of their Dances Midnight shorts, block #2.
Rotting Love stars Zombie Dave (Dave Reda) himself, alongside the gorgeous, award-winning star of iMurders, Sinatra Club and Slime City Massacre, Brooke Lewis. Other stars include House of Manson’s Noel Jason Scott and Lilith’s Dani Sciacca, as well as Peter Hollywood, Katrina Alysha Young, and Mason Scott Miller.
Debuting May 10, 2018, the sneak peek trailer for Rotting Love teases the horror-filled evening that awaits the bored couple. Their relationship has gone stale, and sometimes it takes the undead to liven it up…
Los Angeles band, MAL, featuring co-star Peter Hollywood on bass, rocks out the trailer with “Vimana”.
Rotting Love is expected to be another festival hit from Reda, following the bloody good footsteps of the full-length film, Bit Parts, and the popular horror shorts, My Undeadly and Horror of Our Love."

Release Details for The Ultimate Guide to Strange Cinema: Strange Cinema synopsis: "It isn't every film that features man-eating zombie sushi. But for those searching for just that and more strange things in their viewing queue, this film guide is for you.
Organized by genre, including comedy, horror, action, drama, fantasy, and sci-fi, this title offers 300 reviews of genre films from all over the world, 160 photos, and exclusive interviews and quotes from the people behind some of the most offbeat films ever made. Alongside this curated list of viewing recommendations, longtime fans, and newcomers to strange cinema gain bits of fun and informative trivia. For example, David Caruso's film debut was Without Warning (1980), a carefree trip into the woods thwarted by killer flying alien discs. Lurking in these so-bad-they're-good-films, you'll find other familiar actors like David Carradine, James Brolin, Martin Landau, and Ryan Gosling in films like Death Race 2,000 (1975), The Car (1977), The Being (1983), and Lost River (2014). The zombie sushi, by the way, is from Dead Sushi (2012)."

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
