Cleveland, Ohio - Production on The Dead Matter wrapped at 5am on September 2nd. “I couldn’t be happier,” said Director Edward Douglas. “We got everything I was hoping for and so much more. The entire cast and crew really delivered on all levels. This movie is going to resonate with a lot of horror fans - we really have something special here.”
“The Dead Matter is definitely a character-driven horror film, so a lot rides on our actors. They all really came through for us. Between the performances by our veterans and our newer faces, audiences are going to be in for a real treat,” said Douglas.
Douglas credits the successful production phase to Producer Gary Jones, the FX team at Precinct 13, Director of Photography Alex Esber, UPM/AD Philip Garrett, and an “incredibly talented” crew of film veterans mixed with an enthusiastic group of hard-working production assistants. “It’s an ambitious script. We were only able to complete it on time because of the tremendous talent, teamwork, and perseverance our crew exhibited.”
With a projected release date in 2008, post-production on The Dead Matter has already begun. That includes work on the next Midnight Syndicate release, The Dead Matter soundtrack due out in August of 2008. More details to follow.
Photos from the production and a video trailer for the behind the scenes feature, The Making of ‘The Dead Matter’ are available at the official The Dead Matter website: www.TheDeadMatter.com.

Asylum Press, publisher of cutting edge graphic novels, announces the release of the first online trailer for DTOX: SPECIAL BIOHAZARD EDITION No. 0.
Los Angeles. Calif.-Sept. 21,2007-(press release) Releasing in December, DTOX: SPECIAL BIOHAZARD EDITION, introduces a new character to the Asylum Universe. DTOX is presented in a magazine size format. DTOX is written by Frank Forte (Warlash, Undead Evil) and illustrated by Nenad Gucunja (Satan’s 3-Ring Circus of Hell, Girls and Corpses).
The trailer can be seen here: www.dtoxcomic.com
Also available on the website is a full color preview, character descriptions, concept art and more.
DTOX takes place in a post-Armageddon future. The lone biohazard warrior fights to cleanse the earth of a rising toxic mutant population. Killvixen, a knife-wielding femme fatale, soon joins him. Together, armed with the mobile arsenal code-named DTANK, they travel the ravaged midwest in search of rogue monstrosities and fuel. This 12-page action packed story introduces the world of DTOX, Killvixen and the biogeneticist, Scourge who is creating an army of disease carrying mutants. Also features a special concept art section with unused penciled pages and character design.
“DTOX is inspired by the Heavy Metal Magazine I used to read in the 1980s. Characters like Ranxerox and Den showed how far comics could really go. Pepe Moreno, Guido Crepax and Caza just blew me away. I grew tired of costumed superheroes after a while and wanted something more. I found it in the pages of Heavy Metal, ” explains Frank Forte, ” Now I’m giving back.”
“Working on DTOX was fantastic, ” says Nenad Gucunja, ” I was able go off on the script and expand the scenes. Then Frank would go back and rewrite it. What came out was something fun and demented.”
