Sex toy company Fleshlight is getting into the Halloween spirit with the release of their Fleshlight Freaks series. Available in five different models — The Cyborg, The Alien, The Drac,The Frankenstein and The Zombie — the Fleshlights and Fleshjacks are certain to raise your spirits this holiday season.
Toronto After Dark Film Festival founder Adam Lopez announced the next slate of macabre movies to show at his fast-growing genre film festival, which will take place at the Toronto Underground Cinema between Oct. 20 and 27, on last night’s edition of Inner Space. Among the new additions:
East Vancouver “hard punk rockers” Kill Matilda release their debut full-length, I Want Revenge, on October 11th and to support it they are crossing Canada on their Zombie Apocalypse Tour.
The SPACE Network’s new six-part documentary show Fanboy Confessional, which, not surprisingly, explores all aspects of fandom, delves into horror in next week’s episode. Producers turn their sorry sights on Toronto Zombie Walk founder (and Hamilton, ON resident) Thea Munster and Rue Morgue Magazine art director \”Ghoulish\” Gary Pullin. (Disclosure: I write for Rue Morgue and am friends with Gary.)
The DLB is looking forward to Rue Morgue Magazine‘s monthly Cinemacabre movie night tonight (June 16). Being shown is the Canadian premiere of the new Hammer film Wake Wood which arrives on DVD and Blu-ray June 28 through eOne Entertainment. (Look for a review on the 28th.)
The unfinished version of Kanye West’s “Monster” video leaked online recently, and while the DLB isn’t a big hip hop fan, the video should peak the interest of horror fans with its macabre imagery, including West holding a decapitated head, beautiful dead women hanging around Rick Ross, and Nicki Minaj sporting fangs. No word yet when the finished video will be released.
RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE
Starring Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter and Shawn Roberts
Written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson

If you’ve followed the Resident Evil movie franchise this far, odds are you have accepted the fact that they value action over horror, are not terribly well-written and don’t religiously follow the video game series that inspired them. With those expectations in mind, Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth live-action RE film, boasts some astonishing set pieces, impressive visual effects and a wholly ridiculous story.
