FANGORIA has been keeping tabs on the upcoming horror film THE INFLICTION (you can track back through our previous coverage starting here) for some time now, and upon viewing some new exclusive stills, it seems like the Texas-lensed lunatic-on-the-loose flick can’t get here fast enough.

The blood is flowing on campus and it has trickled down to us, as we’ve got three exclusive pics from the currently lensing MURDER UNIVERSITY to share with you.

The folks behind the cenobite-centric literary anthology HELLBOUND HEARTS have curated a collection of the mutated and infected to bring you up to speed on the history of body horror. 

The Steven C. Miller kids vs. hitmen tale, THE AGGRESSION SCALE has premiered a trailer.

Another version of the late 1800s tale, THERESE RAQUIN is in the works. 

As today’s Midnighters announcement gets us SXSW attendees very jazzed, Fango had the chance to chat with the man responsible for the incredible slate, SXSW programmer Jarod Neece, about putting together the program and his own excitement and expectations for 2012’s iteration.

A couple of genre titles were peppered throughout last week’s SXSW feature lineup announcement, but today brings the big haul, the Midnighters. Featuring two highly anticipated world premieres, some intriguing new talent and even a couple of the most buzzed about horror titles from Sundance, this year looks to be nothing short of stupendous.

Nebraska filmmaker Patrick Rea and his SenoReality Pictures company (co-founded by Rea, Ryan S. Jones and Josh Robison) have been slowly but surely building a name for themselves on the regional independent horror scene. They have honed their craft as a seemingly inexhaustible wellspring of short films—two of which, WOMEN’S INTUITION and GET OFF MY PORCH, have won regional Emmys—and saw their first feature THE EMPTY ACRE released in 2007. And they’ve continued to do so in their second feature, NAILBATER.

The late aughts and the early twenty-teens have really been the “age of the zombie” on video game consoles. Be it the shit-your-pants shock and awe of RESIDENT EVIL or LEFT 4 DEAD, or the lovable camp of DEAD RISING and PLANTS VS. ZOMBIES, the representation for the undead populous has been on high, overshadowing vampires, ghosts, mummies, liche, and any other fabled spectre or monster that hasn’t been sucked up by Hollywood’s next “thing” machine.

Following the recent acquisition of Rodrigo Cortés’ RED LIGHTS by Millennium Films, the fright feature EMERGO, which Cortés wrote and produced, has also been picked up for U.S. release.

What would survival horror be without video games like RESIDENT EVIL or SILENT HILL? These titles not only named but defined the genre we know today, and 2012 is boding to be one of the best years ever for these two horror-gaming giants.

Michael Biehn and Jennifer Blanc (pictured), partners in life and on films like THE VICTIM, recently announced a slate of genre pictures from their Blanc/Biehn Productions, and news about the cast of one of those films, THE FARM, has just come through, along with a couple of poster variations.

Cloris Leachman and Tara Reid tangle with an evil presence lurking amongst THE FIELDS in a chiller hitting DVD in April, and we’ve got the first look at the cover art.

It’s like a treasure hunt, finding out what is in three tin sheds in the back of my house.  I put ‘em up so long ago, I don’t want to talk about it. Put all my movie stuff in there, followed over time by things from the house that we wanted to hold on to—were sure we’d use again, but never did.
