The slasher monster-mash is now actually already available in Canada (Amazon CA) but we were tipped off by fan Bryan Sumner that it’s coming to the States next week on February 17th! However, on closer inspection since the US distributor is one ‘101 Distribution’ who tend to import much of their stock, so I’d fathom [...]

Here’s a great new interview with Dan Farrands, (pictured here at last year’s Writer’s Strike with The Shape) the friendly director of His Name Was Jason (now availible, for those of you sleeping inside a zipped camping bag). Pay close attention to his comments about the DVDs for part 7 and 8. Long lost [...]
