$8.00 MOLD
Directed by Neil Mescino

From Preston Carnell: "Set in 1984 during Reagan's War on Drugs movement there is a secret government funded project underway to help the US fight this terror that's slowly corrupting our youth and destroying our society. The project: fast growing and combative mold. With Big Brother watching every step of the way a plan is underway to have the scientists involved in the project as well as military officers, government officials, and the members of the press become unknowing and unwilling test subjects for this deadly mold. Laced with some of the nerdiest references and 80's paranoia, Neil Meschino puts the mold back into cheese with a very entertaining science-runs-amok horror movie debut." With short film shocker: "Joel D. Wynkoop at the Tampa Film Review".

Awards: BEST FEATURE - Nevermore Film Festival, BEST DIRECTOR - Terror Film Festival

FATHER'S DAY
Directed by Astron-6
Starring: Adam Brooks, Conor Sweeney, Matthew Kennedy

The urban legend known as 'The Father's Day Killer' began some years after the demise or serial rapist/murderer Chris Fuchman. Since the 1970s, the use of contraceptives has tripled in North America alone and a generation of fathers fell asleep with the covers pulled tight, buttocks clenched. The story has become a fire-side cautionary ritual on camping trips, often used by fathers to warn their sons of the dangers of unplanned pregnancy. That deep seeded fear of penetration, violation and eventually death waned as the murder and rape of fathers continued to decline all over the world. Unfortunately those numbers didn't remain low, and it would seem that the legend is not yet complete...Ahab, a man obsessed with exacting a brutal violent revenge on the man who murdered his dad, joins John, an eager priest and Twink, a hot-headed street hustler on an epic quest to find and defeat this mythical monster known as Chris Fuchman AKA "The Father's Day Killer".

With short film shockers: T is for Trick by Shade Rupe and The Demon Club by Johann Tetreault

Awards: BEST FEATURE - Toronto After Dark Festival 2011
