The Black Cat intensifies the series’ horror bent: this chapter zeroes in on the violent, disturbing aspects of Poe’s “The Black Cat,” interpreted by three directors with a more graphic, visceral approach than prior entries.

Grindsploitation 8: Drive-In Grindhouse part 8 of the Grindsploitation film series Faux Film trailers and shocking short horror films.

For this anthology movie, producers Vestra Pictures assigned international directors with a phobia and set them to work making a horror short about it.

In keeping with the “voices from the beyond the grave” motif seen in A View From a Forgotten Grave, La Fleur du Diable, etc. Sidd Web Productions brings a similar experimental horror art film sans actors — La Ragazza con il Cappello Rosso (The Girl in the Red Hat.) While this very short work was inspired by Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s painting The Two Sisters (On the Terrace,) the film is not so much narrative driven as much as it is an exercise in atmosphere. Features voiceover by Italian cinema veteran Silvia Collatina (Lucio Fulci’s House by the Cemetery, Sergio Martino’s The Great Alligator.) A secondary purpose of the film is to document the largely forgotten (and empty) Bickley Crypt in Bensalem, PA.

THE COLD EYES OF DEATH is a low-budget short horror film which takes influence from both the psychological Italian gialli of the 60s & 70s and the supernatural Italian horror of the 80s. With an experimental, DIY charm, this film puts most emphasis on atmosphere and visuals rather than today's typical gore and sleaze. Maestro Fabio Frizzi's soundtrack, whose highly acclaimed works include Fulci's ZOMBIE, THE BEYOND, and CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, is the driving force that connects avant-garde shots and chop-shop editing into something fans of the aforementioned genres can enjoy. BEWARE! THE COLD EYES OF DEATH ARE WATCHING!

THE GHOSTS OF EDEN HALL is a short horror film featuring Eric Bower in Filmiracle's usual Italian horror tradition. The short also documents some (but not all) of the remaining relics of the Convent of the Sacred Heart and Eden Hall in Torresdale, Philadelphia, PA (1847 - 1969.) Call it a horror historical documentary!

Chris Milewski (A Taste of Phobia, POE IV: The Black Cat) returns with another Italian horror inspired short film — PHANTOMS OF THE FOG! This 11 minute affair consists of a heaping dose of, you guessed it, Italian horror, with a dash of those classic Vietnam War actions flicks churned out around the world during the mid to late 80s. Starring Filmiracle Productions regulars Karen Lynn and Terry Reilly, newcomer Ryan Fargo plays the part of a American soldier wandering around in the jungle for reasons unknown. This time around, Chris has recruited Luca Coscarella (known for his amazing cover tracks, most notably his BURIAL GROUND: NIGHT OF TERROR cover) to deliver a hypnotic musical score. Now, of course it’s not the 1980s anymore, so this film still does contain some of it’s own charm in the mix.

VIOLETS BLOOM AT AN EMPTY GRAVE is a low-budget short horror film in the tradition of 80s Italian Horror starring Karen Lynn Widdoss (THE COLD EYES OF DEATH) and featuring the voices of cult Italian cinema veterans, Franco Garofalo (Bruno Mattei's HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD and THE OTHER HELL) & Silvia Collatina (Lucio Fulci's HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY. Filmiracle Productions is proud to once again work with Maestro Fabio Frizzi (Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE, THE BEYOND, etc.,) whose original soundtrack is the glue that holds this bizarre piece together. Expect something weird...
