Bunnyman 2 Trailer: Director Carl Lindbergh is back with Bunnyman 2 and a new trailer has just been released.

"Joe and Bunnyman’s adventure continue in a rural ghost town. Bunnyman’s blood lust knows no bounds, as he slaughters indiscriminately anything that crosses his path. Joe is all too happy to encourage his behavior, selling the dead victims as beef jerky in his local store.

A mutually beneficial relationship with cracks that start to emerge. As the bodies pile up, including a couple dozen kids in a school bus, Bunnyman’s body count is becoming more problematic. Joe is forced to dispose the bodies, by any means necessary. A problem he exasperates by occasionally joining in on the rampage.

In addition to Joe’s body disposal problem, the local sheriff becomes suspicious with the disappearance of a few of his deputies. His investigation crosses paths with two persistent sisters, that refuse to die at the hands of Joe and Bunnyman. Some will live, and some will die, but all will be damaged."

The Zombie Hunter's Guide to Physical Fitness: Mike McDaniel is currently working on putting together a book that will help you train for the upcoming zombie apocalypse:

"The idea behind the Zombie Hunter’s Guide to Physical Fitness is to create a solid workout book that is off-beat, funny, and may appeal to people outside the typical “gym rat” demographic. What would a person need to do to get themselves ready to live a life of hunting down ravenous monsters in a post-apocalyptic world? A zombie hunter’s job is extremely difficult, and fraught with perils for those who are not prepared."

Deadline: We have some information on Deadline, a supernatural crime thriller that will soon be available on VOD:

"Kyle and Sarah are starting a life together in a renovated house in Hollywood Hills, on the same property where the original house burned-down a decade earlier with its owner vanished. Despite certain rumors about the property, the couple decides to acquire the home of their dreams.

But they quickly encounter bizarre occurrences around the house. And when one of their friends disappears and the forensics expert assigned to the case is found murdered, they realize they’re being targeted in a twisted cat-and-mouse game.

Enter Detective Brills, a hard-boiled homicide detective who’s been trying to solve the riddle of the house ever since the fire. He’s more than determined to help the couple to find out what’s really going around the estate. But he too cannot stop the murderous rampage that begins to claim the couple’s friends and associates, one by one.

After finding human remains in the crawl space, Kyle and Sarah slowly learn about the unspeakable events that took place and realize the culprit is closer to them than they can ever imagine."
