Lethal Ladies of Horror Film Festival Details: "You can’t keep a lethal lady down. Flicks for Fans and Arrow in the Head, the team behind last year's Evil Dead Fest, are proud to present the resurrection of the all new Lethal Ladies of Horror Film Festival Saturday, March 29th, 2014 at the famed art deco-themed 1940’s built Crest Theatre in Westwood, CA. This will be an amazing event for all film fans and those with an appreciation for strong roles by women in horror. As always Flicks for Fans will have much for fans who attend the fest including great concession specials, cool Lethal Ladies themed décor and even rare trailers and ads – it’s going to be a night to remember.

Beginning the evening will be Sam Raimi’s horror classic “Drag Me To Hell” with a special Q&A appearance by evil gypsy woman Lorna Raver. Next up will be “Night of the Comet”, where lethal ladies Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney will be in attendance to represent the 80’s classic for a special 30th Anniversary screening in 35mm. Finally, Flicks for Fans is proud to not only present a big screen presentation of the John Carpenter classic “Christine”, but there will also be a special viewing of “Christine” herself – the 1958 Plymouth Fury. This is one of only two cars left in existence that was actually used in the film and it will be on display for fans to enjoy. Plus as a bonus we will have various cast and crew from “Christine” in house as well for a Q&A after the show.

Flicks for Fans is once again teaming up with iconic horror site Arrow in the Head for this fest and Arrow writer James “Jimmy O” Oster will again host and moderate the event.

Tickets are on-sale at the Crest Box Office or online."

House of Monsters Web Series and Concept Art: "Built around a 2012 stop-motion short film of the same name, the new House of Monsters web series is a throwback to the classic Rankin/Bass holiday specials like Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and Mad Monster Party. House of Monsters is created by Dawn Brown, a successful Hollywood concept artist, whose credits include Alice in Wonderland, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Hunger Games movies. When Brown was developing new character designs for the House of Monsters Kickstarter campaign, she turned to veteran concept artist Warren Manser. Manser's credits include Man of Steel, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and Thor.

The series follows mummies, werewolves, vampires and friends through their adventures in an ominous castle perched over a fearful village. House of Monsters will begin production after the Kickstarter campaign wraps April 17, 2014. The series will premiere on Amazon.com early next year."
