2011 Mile High Horror Film Festival: "The Mile High Horror Film Festival (October 7-9, 2011) will be hosted once again at the Starz Film Center in Denver, Colorado and is ready to bring much warranted attention to the city while showcasing the best in the wide gambit of independent ‘horror’ films.

The festival will shortly be announcing celebrity panels, autographs signings and appearances as well as a full line-up of films." For more information, visit: http://www.milehighhorrorfestival.com

Helter Skelter: Bryan Cassiday's Helter Skelter will be released on August 1st. "Evildoers run riot across the sun-drenched Southern California landscape in Helter Skelter. Zombies, vampires, and other wicked creatures wreak mayhem and carnage in these shocking horror short stories by Bryan Cassiday. Not all of these tales feature supernatural creatures. Some of the evil creatures are human--perhaps the most terrifying creature of all. These stories defy logic, yet they obey their own inexorable logic of fear."
