Last week, we hopefully introduced you to an awesome little short called Night of the Slasher. Today, to cure your Halloween hangover and let you know that the spirit is still alive is another great genre short called Dead Hearts. Like Night of the Slasher, Dead Hearts played at the St. Louis International Film Festival last year. However, Dead Hearts won the award of Best Live Action Short Film. Therefore, I’m super stoked to share this gem with you and hopefully encourage some of our local folk to check out the film festival’s short film block – for which I’m on the jury. Sometime this week, we will post some of the genre highlights of the film festival to make it easy on you.

Last year at the St. Louis International Film Festival, there was a short film that I really dug. It was directed by Shant Hamassian and it was called Night of the Slasher. Today, it is available for everyone to watch as a Vimeo Staff Pick. I did an interview with Shant and the producer, Adam Lesnar, at Sliff last year but for the longest time, that interview got lost. I have recently found it and will start transcribing it to hopefully publish next week. For now, enjoy the short.

The heart and soul of the Vimeo platform is its popular Staff Pick channel, for which a four person in-house curation team highlights the best short-form content on Vimeo. The Staff Pick laurel has become such a trusted brand it can often bring a festival-quality short — often one that has played at a major festival — from 50,000 to 200,000 views in a matter of days; it has even played a key role in launching the careers of indie filmmakers like The Daniels (“Swiss Army Man”).

Scare Campaign, writers-directors Colin and Cameron Cairnes. follow-up to 100 Bloody Acres, was named best film at Monster Fest.
The frightfest produced by Julie Ryan, which stars Ian Meadows, Meegan Warner, Olivia de Jonge and Sigrid Thornton, also collected the prizes for best direction, feature screenplay and sound (Chris Goodes and Steve Burgess).
The plot follows a reality TV prank show, Scare Campaign, which had entertained audiences for five years with a mix of old school scares and hidden camera fun.

The prizes: a crystal monster for best film, green monster for the directors and a Miss Universe-style sash for the script. Monster Fest's Neil Foley hailed a "brilliant new Aussie horror film from two of Australia's most exciting cinema talents, totally deserving of every...

The 2015 St. Louis International Film Festival, also known as Sliff, has begun. Even though Alex Winter couldn’t bring Freaked in town, he did bring his two great tech documentaries, Downloaded and Deep Web – in addition to being awesome to us and presenting Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Sliff has a robust schedule full of independent and foreign cinema along with some mainstream affair like Legend starring Tom Hardy and some possible future Oscar contenders like Carol. However, since we are a horror website, we are going to highlight some films that should definitely be on your radar!
