On February 2 (a.k.a. Groundhog Day in North America) our very own trusty, undead meteorological wonder rodent, Cemetery Sammy, poked his snout from his burrow, sniffed the frozen air and declared a winner in our latest DVD contest giveaway.
Crypt Club Productions Inc., in cooperation with www.obscurehorror.com, sponsored a giveaway of our debut DVD: "AAAAAH!! Indie Horror Hits, Volume 1". Obscure Horror posted an interview with yours cruelly and the contest required entrants to correctly answer a question based on the content of the interview.
Millions of entrants (okay, not exactly millions, but way more than a groggy, chilled groundhog could handle) flooded the contest in-box. From among all the qualified entrants Cemetery Sammy selected a winner: Michele Pineda of Waterville, ME in the US of A. As our dear, departed Uncle Forry would say, "Kong-gratulations!"
The DVD is on its way via Groundhog Express and should arrive in plenty of time for St. Valentine's Day. So dim the lights Michele and cuddle up with your boo-loved for a good night's creep.
In the mean time, Cemetery Sammy's learning to read so he can review his labor contract.

Contest for (Horror) Lovers
We're barely into the new year and already looking ahead to St. Valentine's Day. Yes, that special day when you get to curl up with your favourite other and think monstrous thoughts.
But what to do on that magical evening to get in the mood?
Well, for horror lovers this year it's easy. You can turn down the lights, get close and watch a free copy of AAAAAH!! Indie Horror Hits, Volume 1, thanks to the fearsome folks at ObscureHorror.com. They've got more reviews on obscure and hard to find horror films than you can shake a stick insect at.
For your chance to win the free DVD visit their contest page. You'll find the answer to the skill testing question in plain site within the interview with yours cruelly.
Then send an e-mail with the answer to contest@aaaaah-films.com. Be sure to include the word 'OBSCURE' in the subject line so the web-monster knows no to trash your response.
The contest draw takes place during the Winter Feast of the Rodent Shadow - I mean, Groundhog Day, February 2, 2009. That way the DVD will arrive in plenty of time for a happy St. Valentine's Day. Awwww, so romantic...
Enjoy the interview & the horror reviews - and beast of luck.

Three Severed Thumbs Up
Within a week I've received links to three top-knotch reviewers praising AAAAAH!! Indie Horror Hits, Volume 1. Each of these three worthwhile sites post some heavy duty articles about horror and the fantastic.
From the wilds of Utah, John Morehead at TheoFantastique gave AAAAAH!! a solid recommendation, and he touched the soft spot in my corroded heart by setting the review next to his remembrance of Forrest J Ackerman. Coming from a member of the venerable League of Tana Tea Drinkers his review carries a lot of Nile water for me.
Also today, Jill Cooper from Killer-Works.com in Chicago & Toronto posted her review of AAAAAH!! Indie Horror Hits, along with a trailer and links. I appreciate that she touched on each of the collection's seven films to demonstrate the variety of horror films that we're showcasing.
Dead Harvey from Vancouver weighed in last week with a review and a lengthy interview with yours cruelly. And they're running a contest giveaway with the answer found in the text of the interview. Check it out ASAP to get your entry in on time.
Happy reading.

Dead Harvey Review, Interview & Contest
So, what does Dead Harvey have to say about AAAAAH!! Indie Horror Hits? (Do you honestly think I'd let you know about it if he hated it?) If you assume that because Harvey is dead he has nothing to say you're grievously mistaken. He's quite talkative. For example, here's what he has to say about himself:
"Dead Harvey is a resource for both independent horror filmmakers and fans. We hope to keep people informed of new developments in the industry, as well as bringing attention to new and worthy independent horror films and film festivals."
Not bad for a guy with severe rigor mortis. Hardly saw his lips move.
The Dead Harvey site is stuffed (STUFFED, I tell you) with information, articles, interviews, resources, reviews and more. I don't know when he sleeps. Harvey must have died of exhaustion.
Anyway, D.H. just posted an interview with me where we talk about stuff other than AAAAAH!! Indie Horror Hits. Sure we talk about the DVD (can't miss a chance to do that), but we also discuss the indie horror scene, indie filmmaking struggles, and more. Riveting reading to be sure.
And that leads us into the CONTEST! (Yay! Free stuff!)
In a bold move D.H. is running his first ever contest. The answer to the skill testing question is buried in the interview. Sneaky, eh? Well, the answer can be found not that far into the interview. We're cruel, not sadistic. Simply e-mail the answer to D.H. and his decaying hand will pick a winner at the end of December.
And what does the lucky contest winner get for his/her/its trouble? Visit Dead Harvey and see...
