“EXTREME SCREAM” is a new 30-minute TV show that shines the spotlight on independently produced horror films. The show was originally scheduled to air on Superstation WGN. “We spent months working with the Programming Department at WGN to produce a horror-based show that is true to the genre, yet still appropriate for the viewing audience” said Leon Quenneville, owner of ON-Q and host of “EXTREME SCREAM”. “Our editors tried their best to show just enough of the monsters, killers, blood, sex and violence to entertain the audience while remaining within the FCC and network guidelines. But you can only edit so much, and then you lose the appeal of the whole horror-movie magic.”

Darrin Ramage is the President of Brain Damage Films, the primary sponsor of the EXTREME SCREAM TV show. “I can understand the need to keep the sex and violence to an acceptable level for network television,” he said, “but my number one priority is the loyalty and respect from the GOREHOUNDS. If I continue to edit and censor the creative work of these talented independent film producers, then I’ve done a disservice not only to the artist but to the fans as well. Above all else, we have to remain true to the fans!”


ON-Q Productions and Brain Damage Films were excited to find a welcome broadcast partner in the VERSUS Network.  VERSUS is available in over 74 million households nation-wide. Beginning this Thursday night, it’s finally time to “EXTREME SCREAM”!

THIS IS HUGE!!!!!!

Official Press Release:

MONSTERS HD presents a special screening of Dawn of the Dead INSIDE the infamous Monroeville Mall! For the first time ever, George A.

Romero’s 1978 horror masterpiece, Dawn of the Dead will play on a big screen inside the famous Pittsburgh attraction where the movie was filmed! Beginning just one hour after the Mall closes on Saturday evening, June 21st, this special event tops an already stacked horror extravaganza planned for the upcoming HorrorHound Weekend event in Pennsylvania (located at the Pittsburgh ExpoMart in Monroeville, PA) the weekend of June 20-22nd, 2008!

The Alamo Drafthouse Traveling Roadshow will be projecting this “Dawn” screening inside the Mall as part of one of the largest collaborations the horror industry has ever witnessed; HorrorHound Weekend is a conjoined production of HorrorHound Magazine, Bloody-Disgusting. com (the web’s #1 horror movie news site), and Re-Evolution Entertainment. On top of these top-tier horror entities, a number of other media and studio reps from the industry will be on-hand to celebrate three days of horror, including (but not limited to): MONSTERS HD, Anchor Bay, Rue Morgue Magazine, Dread Central, Night of the Living Podcast, Deadpit Radio, Amok Time Toys, Toe Tag Pictures, and Time and Space Toys.

During the weekend of June 20-22nd, 2008, these various horror heavy-hitters will be surrounded by one of the most impressive horror celebrity guest lists to hit the Mid-West, ranging from legendary horror director John Landis (An American Werewolf in London) and top tier stars such as Shawnee Smith (Saw), Jason Mewes (Clerks), Doug Bradley (Hellraiser), and Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects) to first-time convention guests: Ottaviano Dell’Acqua (the iconic worm-zombie from Lucio Fulci’s Zombie), Al Cliver (Zombie), Darryl Ferruci (Creepshow), and Griffin Dunne (An American Werewolf in London) - just to name a few! For three days, fans can meet their favorite celebrities and have the opportunity to obtain autographs and/or photo-ops! Special movie screenings and panels are planned to coincide with the many guests, including a special demonstration by effects legend Tom Savini (featuring the return of his legendary Savini-Thon stage presentation), as well as a special panel and screening from Pittsburgh’s own, ToeTag Pictures.

The Dawn of the Dead screening will take place where the Monroeville Mall’s old clock tower once stood, on a 50-foot screen, which will take over the Mall after closing time, Saturday June 21st, as over 500 fans pack this special section of the Mall, right down the hall from Time and Space Toys’ brick and mortar location, Toy Galaxy (who helped bring this event together), where refreshments will be available. Admission to this special screening is available at the HorrorHound Weekend event - located across the street, inside the Pittsburgh ExpoMart - for a modest $5 - all proceeds of which will be donated to the Make-a-Wish Foundation! ToeTag Pictures will be doing zombie make-up on guests all day leading up to the screening to help make this evening all the more memorable, as over ten “Dawn” alumni will be on-hand during the screening to ensure the night’s authenticity.

On top of these amazing guests and events, a special Bloody-Disgusting. com Film Festival is planned over the course of Friday and Saturday, featuring first-chance screenings of new films (including horror legend, Dario Argento’s Mother of Tears, Wicked Lake, Machine Girl and It’s My Party and I’ll Die If I Want To), while a host of special fan-friendly shows and vendors will be on-hand ranging from a 1930s-style Circus attraction and original film-prop displays and photo-ops to horror-centric toy companies showcasing new prototypes of upcoming products and film studios teasing upcoming projects, not to mention the various new film promotional goodies (swag), posters, and contests being held all three days!!
