What they didn’t know was what lied inside of her; pain and anguish; tearing at her until there was nothing left. Lost and alone, the young women (Heather Dorff), finds solace in the form of a glistening blade, splitting her skin deeply. Her self-indulgent mother and obnoxious sister (Kelsey Zukowski), are completely oblivious to her inner-turmoil. She has long since become numb to the world around her, getting that sensual release, as the razor cuts deeper, watching the blood drip, is all that matters. As soon as the last drop falls, the calm is stripped away from her with it. How far will she go to silence the hunger that now consumes her? Will she be able to regain control of her life, body, and sanity?</p>
<p>Evil lies within. How long will it stay there?</p>

Relegated to second class citizens, they are forced to live in ghettos and microchipped to track their movements. Adding insult to injury, they also must get their blood from specially sanctioned government blood banks.</p>
<p>Although the Hunters have officially disbanded, Jonathan Sloan and his small crew of ex-Hunters track down “illegals” trying to uncover a conspiracy of a vampire cabal that plans on overthrowing the government and returning the vampires back to their former glory.</p>
<p>Jonathan must also come to grips with his past and decide where his loyalties lie in dealing with his feelings for Perrey, the love of his life.. a vampire.</p>
<p>When nature takes over, love is not enough.</p>

Instead, he discovers that for him, destiny has something else in store &#8212; he is the reincarnation of the 200 year old vampire king, Raven.<br />
Now, Carmen must choose between his friends and that destiny.<br />
“Vamperifica” is a mix of comedy and tenderness, drama and action, friendship and isolation, even a musical number! But it is also a story of the disenfranchised, and a dream of empowerment for all those who have felt as if they have been left behind. It is the story of all of us who have ever been told that we are somehow broken, and the triumph of the spirit when we stand tall and proclaim, “No We Are Not!”.</p>

Forced to survive in the wild, starving nearly to death, this little girl learns to fend for herself while living like an animal off the land. Decades later, two unsuspecting couples vacationing in a remote rental cabin on the shores of Claw Lake, enter a realm where unusual and grisly killings of hikers and canoeists&#8211;seemingly by wild animals&#8211;have been puzzling the authorities for years. Disregarding warnings of bears and mountain lions by a local sheriff, the couples soon discover their idea of &#8216;roughing it in the woods&#8217; is far from what they envisioned in the city they left behind, when a vicious, ghostly creature appears from the woods and begins to stalk them. Is it a wild animal like a cougar, a wolf, or a bear that’s hunting them? Is it the axe-wielding crazy camper inhabiting the shoreline, seen by the couples as they are boating on the lake? Or perhaps a more sinister presence stalks them at their Cabin on Claw Lake? Their late-night party soon turns horrific as one by one, the northwoods vacationers disappear. Filmed entirely in Voyageur’s National Park in Crane Lake, Minnesota.</p>

Attracted  to horror, pin-up and the unknown, Joseph Rade strives to combine all  these intrests into his hybrid art and develop with each and every  piece. It is easy to see heavy influences from the likes  of H.R. Giger, Zdzislaw Beksinski,

Hajime Sorayama and Takashi Miike in  his works. He  challenges himself on pushing boundaries with subject matter and  composition while exploring techniques in traditional and digital  medium. He recently participated in a group show at Chicago’s Nineteen  Hundred and One Gallery and has consulted with bands, artists and  designers for projects over the past decade. More of his work, past and  present can be seen at <a href="http://www.deviantart/dabald1.com" target="_blank">www.deviantart/dabald1.com</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ARTbyDABALD1 " target="_blank">www.facebook.com/ARTbyDABALD1 </a>]]></description>

Davis</strong> is the founder of the Chicago Horror Film Festival and  the Indy Horror Film Festival. He has an education in film studies and  screenwriting. However, before he went into film, he had another love  that had driven him. Writing. Reading. The Art of Fiction.

He has  spent much of his life both reading and writing. As a child in middle  school, he would often wake up in the early morning hours before school  and start pounding away stories. He would use his father’s alarm clock  that he could hear in their bedroom and know that it was his time. His  first typewriter was a Christmas present that year, and he would clatter  away.

All through middle and then high school he continued to  write. When it was time to go to college, he even thought that he would  just go on and continue his education in the English arts. However,  instead of continuing with just writing, he had a moment of inspiration  and decided to follow another passion. He went to Columbia College where  he could study filmmaking and writing.

In 2003 he founded the  Chicago Horror Film Festival. With very few outlets that supported the  horror genre at the time, it gave him a venue to not only show his own  films, but for other great horror films from around the world. In 2005,  the festival grew to a point where he created its sister festival, the  Indy Horror Film Festival.

Now, with a strong knowledge in  horror, and what makes a terror filled story, he has transitioned  himself from festival director and filmmaker to fiction writer. He is  currently on break from both festivals to pursue his writing. “Inside  the Mirrors” was released December of 2009 as is available for order  wherever books are sold.

Word on the street is that Jason might just lead a pack of zombies to the festival... Beware!!!

In 2005,  the festival grew to a point where he created its sister festival, the  Indy Horror Film Festival.</p>
<p>Now, with a strong knowledge in  horror, and what makes a terror filled story, he has transitioned  himself from festival director and filmmaker to fiction writer. He is  currently on break from both festivals to pursue his writing. “Inside  the Mirrors” was released December of 2009 as is available for order  wherever books are sold.</p>
<p>Word on the street is that Jason might just lead a pack of zombies to the festival&#8230; Beware!!!</p>
