Red Scream Films Begins Shooting New Horror Flick

Red Scream Films has recently announced the signing of David Kann to direct its new horror flick, Prison of the Psychotic Damned`. The movie is scheduled to be released in April, 2006. The film will begin production in November. `Our markets are home video and DVD, cable and satellite television, and broadcast television. Select theatrical dates are a distinct possibility,` said Williams.

Red Scream Films is a recently launched independent film production company specializing in high-concept, high-quality, low-budget films for both domestic and foreign markets. Red Scream Films CEO David R Williams is best known for his cult horror novel Killer Asylum and is co-publisher of the controversial genre magazine Red Scream.

Abandoned for nearly 40 years, this once magnificent art deco structure was built in 1929, the year before the Great Depression. It quickly fell on hard times and has never recovered. `It is a fantastic setting,` said Williams, `without a doubt, a multi-million dollar set. We have been working with the local preservation society who are dedicated to bringing this wonderful old building back to life. We hope that our film will help in some small way, if only to make more people aware that this architectural treasure exists.`

David Kann directed `Ancient Evil 2` and `Anubis`. Both films were released directly to DVD and both have generated considerable positive response from horror fans and critics alike. `Prison of the Psychotic Damned` is to be shot on location in the Buffalo Central Terminal. It concerns a group of urban explorers/ghost hunters who decide to spend the night in the terminal, only to find that the stories of the terminal being haunted are all too true.
