The best horror film of 2011 is getting the Mondo treatment.

Dennis Quaid goes homicidally nuts in BENEATH THE DARKNESS, a psychothriller that hits the disc scene next month following brief theatrical play a few weeks back, and a clip you can watch past the jump gives you a taste of his mania as he visits a special friend in his attic.

As a writer for FANGORIA, I often stumble upon rare gems while researching or watching films for interviews and feature articles. Writing about one movie usually points me in the direction of several others I desperately need to see; as The Fixx once sang, “One thing leads to another.” Nick Simon’s REMOVAL was recently added to my must-see-movie list while I was finishing up an article for an upcoming issue of Fango.

Through a feature film and an on-line series that was picked up for DVD distribution by Troma last year, CHAINSAW SALLY mastermind JimmyO Burril and his muse, star and mascot April Monique Burril have made waves by making many messes on screen, using social networking, endless outreach and, most importantly, an emphasis on fandom and family. It has worked enough that season two of THE CHAINSAW SALLY SHOW is revving up (listen…hear the sound of that chain belt grinding metal and smell the gasoline vapors?) starting today, to give devotees more of the seriocomic sex and bloodletting they adore.

Something supernatural is causing a bit of turbulence. 

We previously reported a while back about GUT, the latest feature from LOVECRACKED!’s Elias. Now, with the movie completed, the one-named filmmaker has passed on an exclusive clip and new pic, plus info on how to see GUT and word about his next project.

Made for $2,500, DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK (on DVD tomorrow from IFC Films and MPI Media) is the debut film from the Soska Sisters, twins Jen and Sylvia. In an attempt to kick out a first film that’s impossible to ignore, the Soskas wrote, directed, produced and starred in this absurd and outrageous little feature that takes place in a world I cannot begin to understand. None of the characters can be related to on any level, since they make horrible decision after horrible decision. This also makes the flick one hell of a hoot.

The second victim on Syfy’s makeup competition series FACE OFF, Nicholas “Nix” Herrera, met his maker after he and fellow competitor Jerry Macaluso (in the bottom two for the second time in a row) failed to sufficiently waterproof their turtle-human hybrid.

A few weeks ago, FANGORIA launched a contest where any subscriber who sent along a subscription receipt with “I want to win a guitar” written in the message box was entered to win a sweet ax courtesy of Schecter Guitars. And…we have our winner.

This is not your typical feature, as it deals with the legendary Ace Frehley of Kiss, who’s not your typical rock star. I promise, it’s not what you think.

DOWN BY LAW, GHOST DOG and BROKEN FLOWERS director Jim Jarmusch is making a vampire movie.

THE ABCs OF DEATH isn't even out, and competition winner Lee Hardcastle is already lining up some next big steps.

Back when THE WOMAN IN BLACK was first announced in 2009, reports had it that the ghost story would be filmed in 3D, but the movie opening this Friday from CBS Films is in 2D. So what happened to the extra dimension? Fango asked star Daniel Radcliffe and director James Watkins, and got some pretty forthright answers.

One of Britain’s top makeup FX artists is now shooting his feature directorial debut, and has a couple of UK genre veterans in his cast.
