Great Horror Scores with Vids and More and Canadian Ferox too!
If you’re a fan of horror then you’re more than likely a fan of the fantastic music that accompanies our favorite horror flicks.

One classic Carpenter score later – and Halloween became an instant classic!
If you just can’t get enough great horror scores – then check out the vintage Canadian Ferox episodes featuring music in horror where your hosts Jdog and the Changeling play classic tracks from your favorite horror flicks and discuss each one. Unfortunately Canadian Ferox is no more – but you can still download their shows from the archive. What are you waiting for? Get to listening or get to dying!!

Oscars Forgotten as MVP Playa Awards Announced.
Matthew Ewald as Fr.McLennon in Indigo Child.
Just in time for the Academy Awards, it’s the MVP Playa Awards! Last night, Streebo finished his last review of the mainstream horror releases of 2010 when he went to see Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan. Mutantville.com has tallied the votes and now we are ready to present this year’s MVP Playas Awards.
Streebo began reviewing all the major mainstream horror releases during their theatrical run back in 2004 on the IMDb Horror Board in the topic: Diagnosing the Problems and Celebrating Modern Horror. Streebo’s First double feature review was a back to back viewing of Saw and The Grudge. The topic was eventually locked on the IMDb due to exceeding the allowed number of responses which at one point numbered almost 800 in total.
Streebo has kept the tradition alive since 2007 when he changed the title to Celebrating Modern Horror and began posting v-log reviews as opposed to written essays. He spent all of last year watching the latest releases and reviewing them for you and today we are proud to announce the winners of 2010′s MVP Playas Award.

Scarecrow At Midnight Premieres at the Nevermore Film Festival.
Scarecrow At Midnight premiered at the 12th Annual Nevermore Film Festival at the Carolina Theatre in Durham on Saturday February 19th. The neo-modern scarecrow slasher flick played to a raucus crowd that seemed to yell and jump at all the right places. The film played as part of the short film block entitled “When the Stars Begin to Fall” and was accompanied by several fantastic shorts such as The Devil’s Toy, Davis, Last Seen on Delores Street, Written By, Murderabilia, and See The Dead.
Attendees of the premiere included writer/director J.T.McRoberts, star Katie Bearden, as well as several other members of the cast and crew such as Robert W. Filion, Julian Safrit, Janice Mitchell Wyatt, Meg Elliot, Lisa Cobb, Todd A. Britt, Meghan King, Brent Bowers, Geo Swanko, Coty Galloway, Jeremy Bonham and associate producer Jason Arispe. Kenny Caperton, proprietor of the Myers House NC, was also in attendance and was as thrilled as the rest of the cast to see the movie and his house on the big screen. According to the Carolina Theatre – attendance for the festival was estimated to have suprassed the previous year’s event.
The cast and crew roamed the halls of the Carolina Theatre talking to the fans and enjoying the Nevermore Festival. The cast raved about how much fun they had working on the film and the hilarity continued as the group goofed around after the premiere. Director J.T.McRoberts led everyone on a slasherthon to follow up on the terrors of Scarecrow At Midnight by then watching Friday the 13th and Silence of the Lambs in 35mm.
One fan stated that Scarecrow At Midnight reminded him of the classic Goosebumps tale The Scarecrow Walks At
Midnight, “except that it (Scarecrow At Midnight) was about a thousand times more terrifying.” Other compliments were passed along to the cast and crew on several aspects of the film from the performances of the cast to the quality of the special make-up effects. Director J.T. McRoberts stated that “having the opportunity to have our movie play at this festival was a dream come true and to have the crowd react in such a positive manner makes it all worth it. This is the only reward a filmmaker needs and I would like to thank the Carolina Theatre for making it possible.”
Scarecrow At Midnight will be available along with the other shorts Indigo Child, Family Fiend, Devil Comes Down, and Respawner the Web Series: Pilot Episode in the Tales from Mutantville anthology collection on DVD and Blu Ray this summer.
