Day two of the New York City Horror Film Festival came and went with no road bumps this time thankfully, as I was able to enjoy the night’s lineup without any delays, along with a special guest appearance by horror icon Rob Zombie, but I’ll touch on that experience later and save the love here for another fantastic night of short films. Teddy bears, talking vegetables, cannibalism – what wasn’t there to love?
The Captured Bird
Director: Jovanka Vuckovic
Isn’t it great when a little piece of cinema comes along and just makes your skin crawl, especially when it’s backed by the likes of Guillermo del Toro, George A. Romero, and Mick Garris? That’s what The Captured Bird brilliantly accomplishes, telling a short story about a tiny child’s encounter with a haunted mansion and five freakish demons birthed from black sludge, along with being...

Happy Easter kiddies, we have another Easter related video to entertain you with today and possible even send a shiver down your spine.

Directed by Drew Daywalt & David Schneider, this heart warming little short is titled The Easter Bunny Is Eating My Candy. Their own write up sums it up nicely..... "It's Ea…...

It wouldn't be appropriate for us to allow Easter to pass without posting one of the great horror shorts in regards to the holiday.
Released a few years ago, this creepy little gem from directors Drew Daywalt and David Schneider titled "The Easter Bunny is Eating My Candy" still holds quite a charm.
This one certainly isn't a child film nor is it for the squeamish. The film stars the adorable Abigail Daywalt as the concerned little girl, Marichelle Daywalt as the unconcerned sleeping mother and John Grye (we assume as the Easter Bunny).
Check out the short below and best Easter wishes to all our horror friends! Enjoy.

It's almost Easter and it just wouldn't be right if we didn't show Drew Daywalt's The Easter Bunny Is Eating My Candy. The short was directed by Daywalt and David Schneider. Daywalt has sort of become the go-to-guy when it comes to cool horror shorts like this one. He pretty much has all the holidays covered too and hits a home run everytime! Enjoy and have a Happy Easter everybody!
Synopsis:
It's Easter and there's something terrifying in the house, and it's not the Easter Bunny... or is it? (Not For The Squeamish!!!)...

Joining Jonathan Freedland for the latest edition of The week in review is Hugh Muir, Libby Brooks and the comedian David Schneider.
We begin by discussing the resignation of David Cameron's communications chief Andy Coulson. What does this mean for the prime minister, the Conservatives and Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation? Matt Wells gives us his thoughts.
Also in the podcast, with Tony Blair back in front of the Iraq inquiry and Gordon Brown's former lieutenant Ed Balls given the job of shadow chancellor, we wonder why the shadows of the Blair-Brown past continue to hang over the Labour party?
Away from that all that, we talk Tiger Mothers, cuddly fathers, and the government's plans to teach us the basic principles of parenting.
Finally, some have said he was hilarious while others claim he was just plain rude. We discuss the comedy of nastiness after Ricky Gervais performed a...

London — He could have stayed in teaching. That's what his parents wanted: it was the safe, secure route for a young man with working-class roots and a face few would describe as handsome.
But Pete Postlethwaite wanted more. He wanted to pursue his passion for acting and, at 24, he left teaching to train at the Bristol Old Vic theater. His parents remained skeptical, but when he was introduced to Queen Elizabeth II after a stellar 1980s performance with the Royal Shakespeare Company, even his mother was convinced he would make his mark.
It was an incredible ascent for Postlethwaite, a distinguished character actor with a remarkably craggy, timeworn face whose death at age 64 was confirmed Monday by Andrew Richardson, a longtime friend and journalist who documented the actor's fight against cancer. Richardson said the Oscar-nominated actor died Sunday.
Postlethwaite had little going for him when he started in an industry...

Actor responds to letter and thrills schoolchildren
Finally, cold, hard proof of two things: one, that kids today have it better than ever, and two, that Johnny Depp is a proper, gold-plated, limited-edition dude.
How many assemblies when you were at school ended with the entrance of a Hollywood star? How many were anything but a thing to be sat through, crosslegged on an over-waxed floor, punctuated with hymns projected on a magnolia wall? A time, often, to plait the hair of the girl in front or to scratch the scabs off a grazed knee.
Last week, however, pupils at a school in south-east London experienced the kind of assembly they didn't have in my day.
Students were shepherded quickly into the gym as two cars with blacked-out windows parked in the playground, where a passerby reported hearing "screams of joy" as Depp, in full, leathery, dreadlocked, swaggering costume, entered the building,...

Back in the early 90s there was a popular BBC comedy sketch series called The Real McCoy. Hilarious! At least that’s how I remember it. Kind of a UK version of In Living Color, it poked fun at Caribbean (mainly Jamaican), African (mainly Nigerian) and Asian (mainly Indian) people in Britain in ways that only the young Britons of Caribbean, African and Asian descent who wrote and performed it, were able to. Hilarious, I tell you! Ah, them was the days…
Sadly, despite the show’s success, and the fact that some cast members moved on to other things or went on to launch solo careers, some more successful than others, black programming seemed to go out of the window after The Real McCoy went off the air in 1996. I dare not even spell out name of the BBC’s first Black sitcom that came on less than a...

The horror genre might be a better place because of the writer's strike a few years back. After all, if it hadn't been for the strike, Fewdio Productions may never have started and the world of independent horror would be an entirely different landscape. Originally founded by Drew Daywalt, David Schneider, John Crye, Kirk Woller, and Paul Hungerford, the group decided that just because all of them were facing a strike that would keep them from working, it didn't mean they were ready for a vacation just yet.
Daywalt took a few moments recently to speak with Dread Central about Fewdio and his upcoming web series "Camera Obscura".
Fewdio is a small production company that specializes in horror shorts. "We were all a little bit burned out on dealing with studio execs around the time the strike hit," explained Daywalt. "I had been a script writer for 17 years, and I'd...
