TONY TODD - A.J. DRAVEN - JASON CONNERY
THE FIGHT OVER GOOD AND EVIL IS ON
IN THE VAMPIRE ACTION FILM
BLOOD WARS
THE BATTLE BEGINS NOVEMBER 11TH!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
MIAMI, FL — Leading independent home entertainment studio, MTI Home Video will next release BLOOD WARS on DVD November 11, 2008. The film stars Tony Todd (The Candyman), A.J. Draven (Disarmed), Jason Connery (Urban Ghost Story, Shanghai Noon) Rini Bell (Road Trip, Bring it On) C. Thomas Howell (E.T, Hidalgo) and Allison Lange (Rowell).

In order to relinquish his coveted title, one of the vampires in his coven must fight and kill a sentry - a member of an elite order of vampire hunters. As the legend holds, sentries have fought vampires for millennia, protecting the world and maintaining a necessary balance between good and evil. But the destiny of vampires and sentries alike are forever changed when Will becomes the center of this eternal war.

The Specifics:
RULES
If you are in a Zombie Costume you will receive extra points!
Anything not expressly prohibited or illegal is ok.
• A list of the items to be found and their point values can be picked up at any time between 7:30pm and 10:00pm. Registration begins at 7.30pm, Scavenger Hunt starts at 8:00pm. Look for our booth on Garfield (the Block Party) between 4th and 6th Street.
• A team must have at least two people and a name (maximum 4 people)
• Publicly available transportation (e.g. train, bus, taxi) is fully legal.

(Thank you to Annette who was the other co-director and for pointing this out to me and www.dreadcentral.com)
Every filmmaker, no matter how small, leaves behind a legacy. The same goes for indie writer/director Joseph Dodge, who tragically passed away this week in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan. As a fellow fright geek, Joe contributed regularly to the horror community and co-directed the award-winning indie feature The Secret Life of Sarah Sheldon, as well as last year’s festival short Burial Party.
My thoughts: I got to meet Joe twice and he was a very cool guy to meet. Automatically you knew what he wanted from the film industry when you talked to him. It is very sad when I found out about this since I thought the world of his two projects “The Secret Life of Sarah Sheldon” and “Burial Party”… Anybody that knows me knows about how much I have talked about these films as they are two of the best indy projects I have ever seen!
Joe, we the horror community hardly knew you but you will be missed!
