Controversial horror flick “Bryan Loves You†has a brand new look care of its new rep, Shoreline Entertainment. Please see Fangoria’s story about the acquisition at http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=4229 and Arrow In the Head’s exclusive at http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=7783 . Shoreline’s “Bryan Loves You†trailer was just posted to http://www.shorelineentertainment.com/movies/BryanLovesYou.html .
The movie’s got a brand new look, but those classic masks seen throughout “Bryan Loves You†will remain the same, and they’re NOW on the giveaway block. The producers, Landau Motion Pictures, are giving away two of the last remaining sought-after props as part of their Summer of Bryan promotion. Everyone is eligible to win. To enter: please watch the new trailer and tell us how many times the Bryan mask is shown (count all appearances of the mask; look carefully!). Send your answer in a Myspace mail to writer/director Seth Landau (www.grassrootstheory.org/bryan.htm .
Called an “Orwellian nightmare for the YouTube generation,†“Bryan Loves You†stars George Wendt, Tony Todd, Tiffany Shepis and Daniel Roebuck. The horror feature concerns the true story of a cult that took over an Arizona town in 1993. The picture has been in the news almost since the start of pre-production. Sometimes because of its stars, such as the profile on scream queen Shepis in the January 2007 issue of JANE magazine. And sometimes due to the movie’s controversial nature, such as when the NY Post’s Page Six wrote about a bogus casting call made by an anonymous source that nearly stalled production (“Phony Cast Call Vexes Movieâ€, 9/4/06). Shoreline Entertainment will start positioning “Bryan Loves You†in the marketplace immediately.

(Thanks to EHFFmyspace page)
So, we get this submission last season that really creeped me out… a documentary about three guys out to confront the supernatural in the American West who by the end, get more than they originally bargained for… (but I’ll leave out the details so I won’t spoil it for the people who haven’t seen this film yet).
Anyways, after I was done watching it, I called the filmmakers and said, “Guys, this is something that should really be on the Sci-Fi Channel!”
We immediately selected the film for a screening at the 2006 Eerie Horror Film Festival and the three young filmmakers flew all the way from Vegas to meet with the fans and talk about their production.
Though the film didn’t win, “Ghost Adventures” was nominated for Best Feature at the 2006 Fest and was a huge hit with the audience.
A few weeks ago, co-director Zak Bagans informed me of some very good news, which I will now share with all of you below…
The Eerie Horror Film Festival wishes Zak, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin all the best with “Ghost Adventures”! We’ll be watching in July!
Ghost Adventures is proud to announce that the official WORLD NETWORK PREMIERE has been announced by the Sci-Fi Channel.
Ghost Adventures will premiere PRIMETIME on Wednesday July 25th at 9pm!
Please click the following link for Sci-Fi.com’s programming schedule- http://www.scifi.com/schedulebot/index.php3 -then click July 25th.
Please stay tuned at the Ghost Adventures official site- www.myspace.com/ghostadventures -for upcoming promos by the Sci-Fi Channel and the Ghost Adventures’ Crew.

This is what Old School Cinema posted on their myspace page.
I know. I know. I’ve tried to avoid it for as long as possible, since everyone and their grandma seems to have made a zombie flick, especailly in the last 5 years, but OSS is throwing it’s hat in the ring too.
Currently known as “IOTD” (we’ll tell you the whole title LATER, not now), this will be another gore-comedy splatterfest.
And just like all our productions, it’s gonna be a BLAST making a zombie flick!
Who wants to eat brains? Who wants to be eaten???
It all happens in August (after “THCM 3″ wraps).

We’re slashing back in time this week on Deadpit Radio to bring you the first week of our Summer series of shows. Join CK and Uncle Bill for a special interview with director Michael A. Simpson of “Sleepaway Camp 2 and 3″ fame. Where else can you find out everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the most jovial serial killer/transvestite films ever made? If you think you can make it to the DVD reviews, think again, as we have such spectacular titles as Alfred Sole’s Gothic masterpiece “Alice Sweet Alice”, Jeff C. Smith’s low budget slashback “Stupid Teenagers Must Die!”, George A. Romero’s biohazardous epic “The Crazies”, and a Faustian tale from Spain entitled “The Man and the Monster”. All of this plus tons of new written reviews, brand new video review segments via The Horror Channel, and all of your phone calls and emails. The blade may tear your flesh, but we will tear your soul…only on Deadpit.com
