We return with the latest edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes details on graphic novel Graveyard of Empires, the Season 2 premiere of Scott Ian’s Blood and Guts, Cowboys Vs. Vampires distribution news, and much more:
Graveyard of Empires Graphic Novel: “From Alexander the Great’s Macedonian army to Genghis Khan’s Mongol horde to the British Imperial machine of the nineteenth to the Soviet Union to the twenty-first century United States of America, no occupying force has ever been able to control Afghanistan — the very reason it’s known as the Graveyard of Empires. Mark Sable and Paul Azaceta drew upon that history in their Image Comics series Graveyard Of Empires, set in present-day Afghanistan, where American troops are caught in a seemingly unending conflict with the Taliban. That is, until a new enemy enters the field: the undead.

Guided by Anthrax guitarist, metal legend and horror reverent Scott Ian, Blood And Guts is a massive celebration of the magic of movie macabre. Last season saw Ian visit the likes of FX icon Greg Nicotero, and veterans Jennifer Aspinall, Gary Tunnicliffe, Jerry Constantine and Rob Hall for insight and demonstration of gory (and not so) transformation.
Season Two (premiering March 19!) is only looking up. We'll have an explosive hang with FX coordinator and pyro maestro Ron Trost, an incredible look at Rick Baker's legacy and much, much more.

Season Two of Fangoria and The Nerdist's behind-the-scenes special FX web series is currently underway. Last week host and metal icon Scott Ian visited effects coordinator and pyro maestro Ron Trost (Scream 2, The Lords Of Salem, The Fp). As winter settles in, many are currently frustrated by massively inclement weather. Here's some peace of mind.
Blood And Guts returns in 2013. Expect Trost, Rick Baker and much more!

We live in an era in which talented filmmakers sometimes trade in creativity and taking chances for remakes, reboots and 3-D gimmicks. We get it -- they're a giant cash cow. Leave it up to the up-and-comers to make unique and rare movies that won't be seen by even a small portion of the people who saw "Clash of the Titans." At least we know those crazy ones still exist.
Right now those hungry men are Brandon and Jason Trost, the duo that has made the most bonkers independent movie of this year -- a movie about living the somewhat thug life called "The Fp."
"The Fp" is bats**t crazy. Here's the synopsis (bear with us, it gets weird). The film is set in a post-apocalyptic future in the Fp, known to you and me as Frazier Park. There's famine, overpopulation and disease, and the people and streets are...

Nsfw A ferocious nod to big-budget studio action fare and underdog sports dramas of the 1980s, The Fp is a high-concept comedy set in a dystopian near future where a relentless turf war rages. Two rival gangs feud for control of rural wasteland Frazier Park in the deadly arena of competitive dance video game "Beat-Beat Revelation." Directed by fourth generation filmmaker brothers and real-life Frazier Park, CA natives Jason and Brandon Trost (Cinematographer, Crank 2: High Voltage, Rob Zombie's upcoming The Lords Of Salem), The Fp is a homegrown family production with Hollywood special effects expert father Ron Trost (Mortal Kombat) as co-producer/FX coordinator and accomplished costume designer sister Sarah Trost (2010 Project Runway contestant) as the designer for more than 40 uniquely...
