The follow-up to Classic Monsters Unleashed, Shakespeare Unleashed is a horror anthology that features new, original stories from Joe R. Lansdale, Ian Doescher, Seanan McGuire, Cullen Bunn, Jonathan Maberry, and more! Now on Kickstarter, I caught up with editor James Aquilone to talk about the origins of this unique horror project, working with this talented group of creators, and future plans!
Following the success and release of Classic Monsters Unleashed, what inspired you to reimagine Shakespeare’s works as short horror stories (and sonnets) in Shakespeare Unleashed?
The success of Classic Monsters Unleashed caught me by surprise. I had thought of it as a one-off, but then people kept asking me if I was going to do another book. So I started thinking what an Unleashed series would be and what other literary or fictional universes we could delve into.

Mark Alan Miller and his creative team at Encyclopocalypse have been bringing horror books to life with compelling audio versions, and now the company is expanding with the launch of a publishing imprint for original content and movie novelizations, including Fright Night and Re-Animator:
Press Release: Los Angeles, CA- Saturn and Rondo award-winning producer and writer Mark Alan Miller, best known for Nightbreed: The Director's Cut and Boom! Studios’ Hellraiser comics, is adding a new title to his already expansive resume: publisher.
Miller announced this week that his company Encyclopocalypse, which specializes in audio adaptations of notable works of horror literature, will be expanding into publishing books itself under a new expansion that will encompass both paperback and e-books.
The move came about partially as a result of Encyclopcoalyse acquiring the audio rights to John Skipp and Craig Spector’s novelization of Fright Night, the classic 1985 horror comedy starring Roddy McDowell and Chris Sarandon.

We here at Den of Geek were big fans of the Hap and Leonard TV series, sadly canceled by Sundance in 2018 after three glorious seasons. But the world and its characters live on in the book series that started it all. Joe R. Lansdale’s story of two martial arts-wielding detectives who strike up an unlikely best friendship as they work as private investigators n 1980s East Texas is filled with some good crime plotting and some interesting things to say about America, with two fascinating characters at its center. Consisting of twelve novels, four novellas, and three collections of stories and excerpts, if you’re looking for a new literary universe to dive into, this could be it.
Tachyon Publishing recently published a book of short stories from the world of Hap and Leonard and Den of Geek is giving away one copy. Of Mice and Minestrone — Hap and...

I had the opportunity to watch the first episode of the series, which I really enjoyed, and I’m looking forward to watching the rest of them.

As a big fan of those films, I enjoy how the series emulates those in its style, and you’ve gotta love the practical effects that were utilized to bring these 12 stories to life for our viewing entertainment.

Shudder's Creepshow reboot is bringing the '80s horror anthology back to life and the set has the bloodstains to prove it.
On the calendar behind Greg Nicotero’s desk, every day, from Jan. 7, 2019 through to today, March 28, is marked with a red “X.” The lines are big and emphatic, as though the writer put every last bit of his energy into striking them.
“It seems like yesterday was January 7th and now it's the end of March,” Nicotero says, sinking into a chair in front of the calendar. “There's been no time to even pick anything up.”
Production happens in a near constant state on the Creepshow set and the chaos on the cavernous Atlanta soundstage reflects it. Outside of Nicotero’s office, hallways are littered with rubber monsters and gory props. Two lifeless Nazi soldier dolls greet the production staff arriving on set, one bald and scarred,...

One of the many reasons George A. Romero's Creepshow continues to thrill and chill horror fans more than 35 years after its initial release is thanks to the makeup effects by Tom Savini (who also played one of the movie's garbagemen in the memorable wraparound segment). It's fitting, then, that Savini has been announced as the director of one of the episodes of Shudder's new Creepshow series, based on a story by Joe Hill, who played Billy in the film's wraparound segment.
Savini will direct an episode adaptation of Joe Hill's "By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain," working from a screenplay by Jason Ciaramella.
Along with Savini's return to the Creepshow franchise, Shudder also announced a casting update for the series, revealing that David Arquette, Tricia Helfer, and Dana Gould have joined the cast. Read the official press release below for more information, and stay tuned to Daily Dead...

Horror movie icon Tom Savini recently revealed that he directed an episode of Greg Nicotero’s Creepshow horror anthology series.
During a panel at Monsterpalooza, which I attended last weekend, Savini revealed that he will direct one of the twelve episodes of Shudder’s upcoming series. The episode he helmed is based on Joe Hill’s short story, “By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain”, which centers around two friends who unexpectedly find a dead plesiosaur on a beach. He said:
“I just directed an episode of the Creepshow television series. There’s 12 [stories] altogether – each show will have two episodes in it. Mine’s a combination of Stand By Me, The Fog, and Jurassic Park. It’s really something.”
I love that he likens the story to Stand By Me, The Fog, and Jurassic Park. That makes this sound like it’ll be a great episode! Here’s a full...

Last year, it was announced that Preston Fassel's Our Lady of the Inferno—the first book in the "Fangoria Presents" line from Cinestate—is being developed as a film, and now it's been revealed that it will also come to life in audio form, with horror icon Barbara Crampton voicing one of the lead characters.
Mark Alan Miller is overseeing an audiobook version of the 1980s-set Our Lady of the Inferno at his imprint Encyclopocalypse Publications, and The A.V. Club reports that Crampton will voice Nicolette Aster, “a waste management executive in 1980s Manhattan who moonlights as a serial killer.”
Crampton will be joined by other impressive talents in the voice cast, including Gigi Shane as Nicolette's adversary Ginny Kurva, Autumn Ivy as Ginny's sister Tricia, and Kasey Lansdale as Tammy, a new-in-town target of Nicolette.
Other voice roles are still being cast, and we'll be sure to...
