Different Duck Films has announced their anthology horror movie Immortal will be hitting digital platforms early next month. If all horror has one common theme, it’s death — mortality is why we have a sense of fear to begin with, after all. Every anthology we’ve highlighted here focuses on it to some degree, which is what makes Immortal so unusual. Its stories are about the exact opposite. In other words, the horror of NOT dying. Different Duck, indeed. How is immortality scary anyway? They find ways. DD tells us “the film follows Chelsea, a high school track star who comes clean about sexual misconduct with her coach only to find out her confession might be too late, Gary and Vanessa, a young, expecting married couple who scheme a morbid solution to their financial issues, Ted, a man filled with sorrow who agrees to euthanize his cancer-ridden wife Mary, and Warren, a young man with little direction in life who is forced to discover his new gifts after a tragic accident.”

It feels like it’s been a while since we covered a horror anthology movie, but Wild Eye is finally bringing over another one. Weird Fiction is another series of shorts brought together by bridging material, but the difference between this one and the others we’ve discussed is that the shorts are all by the same person. Making a horror short is a good way to get one’s feet wet as a movie director, and that’s why these anthologies exist, but writer-director Jacob Perrett had to get his feet moist in quadruple time. All four of the stories in Weird Fiction are his. So what’ve we got? We have a group of irresponsible teens searching for a missing body. We have the classic stalker vs. babysitter yarn. We have the “scary malady” story of a man who finds a strange bite on his neck, and finally, a story about two girls who make a discovery that could lead to the world’s destruction (or not, if they can do something about it).

For many people the holidays are a nightmare. But crowded airports, dysfunctional families and expanding waistlines don’t hold a candle to the terror awaiting in Holiday Hell, the horror anthology film that delivers a decadent 4 course meal of frights and light, but deadly dessert. Anthology horror has a rich tradition with films like Trilogy of Terror, Creepshow and Trick r’ Treat delivering frights that have endured for many years. Recently the found footage genre has opened the gates to low-budget productions that try focus on more realistic violence and mayhem “caught on tape” than cinematically staged morality tales of blood and gore. Holiday Hell however, seems to have it’s roots in creepy television anthology classics like Tales From The Crypt or more the obscure Friday The 13th: The Series. For the unfamiliar, that syndicated 80’s TV series had nothing to do with Jason Voorhees stalking a new summer camp each week, instead it dealt with an antique store housing occult objects that created deadly circumstances if not kept under
