More details for the amazing Nightmare USA Festival this May Day Weekend
24th Apr 07
 Further more to our recent report on the amazing line up for this crackerjack festival next weekend, Harvey Fenton, the FAB press organiser fellow, has mailed us some more info on some of the exclusive stuff happening on the day. Here's a snippet for you...
Hi you guys at eatmybrains.com!
Here's a quick e-mail of the new poster for the Nightmare USA film festival to let you check out the special guests we've got shown on the poster, and also let you know there is another Exploitation Independent making an appearance on the day - Chris Huntley, the man who made the very weird stop-motion monster flick The Strangeness.
We also have the booklaunch of our other new summer book, A Violent Professional (more details at the www.fabpress.com). The author is coming over from Texas to be with us, so yet another exclusive signing session. And to top it off, we will be selling strictly limited director's signature edition DVDs of Fred Friedel's two new films on the day (only 50 copies of each are being manufactured, making them instant collector items, and probably the rarest officially licensed DVDs in the world!), so yet another reason for hardcore horror fans to make this a must-attend show...
So, hope to see you there on the day!

The Films...
DON'T GO IN THE HOUSE
Don't Go in the House is Psycho Redux for the video nasty generation... with flame-throwers!
Choice dialogue excerpt:
The voices inside Donny's head: 'She was evil... Now you can do any thing you want to do. You're free!'
Donny: 'Can I play my music loud?'
Trivia of note:
Full uncut 35mm print of this notorious horror movie that was banned as a 'video nasty' in the 1980s. Though most of the so-called 'nasties' are tame in comparison to current ultra-violent horrors such as Hostel and Saw, this film's opening scenes still have the power to shock jaded modern audiences.
PIGS
Pigs is a love story between a psychotic teenage girl and a grave-robbing pig-farmer.
Choice dialogue excerpt:
Miss Macy: 'They're not pigs you know... they're dead people. He feeds those pigs dead people, and then he eats the pigs!'
Sheriff Cole: 'I don't think there's a law against turning dead people into pigs.'
Trivia of note:
UK Theatrical Premiere! The 35mm print we will be showing is actually Blood Pen - an alternative version of the film, with a completely unique, specially-shot, opening sequence not available on any home video format!
VICTIMS
Paulie is coming apart; his every encounter with the opposite sex costs another woman her life, while stirring up memories of his prostitute mother, her brutal pimp, and the sexually abusive hooker who molested him as a child...
Choice dialogue excerpt:
Paulie: 'I guess I went a little ape...'
Hooker: 'A little? You came on like you were tearing up the forest!'
Trivia of note:
UK Theatrical Premiere! Almost impossible to see since its extremely limited early-80s video release, this criminally-neglected gem of terrifying psychological horror will be receiving quite probably its only ever UK screening courtesy of director Daniel Di Somma's personal archive print of the film. Note: Subject to confirmation
BLOODY BROTHERS + SQUISH
Psycho twins separated at birth embark on separate, simultaneous, violent sprees across the Connecticut landscape, all the while closing the distance between each other, and their inevitable respective fates.
Choice dialogue excerpt:
Sandra: 'No... you don't understand. I'm being kidnapped!'
Rapist: 'Well, isn't that a touching story?'
Trivia of note:
WORLD PREMIERE! Put together from the highlights of director Fred Friedel's classics Axe and Date with a Kidnapper, this is full-tilt exploitation filmmaking with no holds barred, and all the fat trimmed from its bones. A relentless, breathless chase through the American rural landscape to find at its conclusion, inevitably, the country's heart of darkness. Shown with Fred's new short, Squish, the moving tale of an escaped mental patient who hides out in a factory full of huge industrial presses!
BOARDINGHOUSE
A Lothario with psychic powers rents out rooms in his rambling house to pretty college girls, but his plans for a harem are undone by a malevolent force residing within.
Choice dialogue excerpt:
'I cut myself with the apple... er, the knife.'
Trivia of note:
UK Theatrical Premiere! Probably the weirdest American horror film of the '80s (and that's really saying something!), this is filmmaking from another dimension that will leave jaws agape in stunned admiration and bemused befuddlement. We strongly recommend that you enter this screening drunk or stoned, or both, for maximum amazement...
