The labels will showcase thrilling new horror visions from American and international filmmakers.
The first films set for release under the Screamfest banner will be zombie actioner Outpost: Black Sun – the sequel to Outpost – and the Norwegian thriller Thale, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and recently screened at Screamfest Horror Film Festival.
Based on actual accounts and events, the video conspiracy document Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes (opening in limited release today) and the vampire tale The Thompsons will be the first releases under the Macabre banner.
We are proud to join forces with Screamfest, one of Americas leading horror film festivals for over a decade, said XLrator Media CEO Barry Gordon. The festival has served as an authentic, fan-approved launching pad for dozens of talented filmmakers who have gone on to redefine the possibilities of the modern horror genre.
We are excited and honored to curate the new Screamfest label in partnership with XLrators Barry Gordon and Mike Radiloff. Their marketing and distribution expertise will help build and enhance the Screamfest brand across all distribution platforms, said Screamfest founder/festival director Rachel Belofsky.
The Macabre label will feature vampire clans, zombies, mystery hunters, killer hillbillies, even Sasquatch! Vanguard horror and genre films with an eye towards the provocative, envelope-pushing, and at times even the absurd are all at home on Macabre, said Gordon.
Stay tuned for release dates as they are made available.
