Quebec filmmaker PASCALE PLANTE has made a bloodless horror film that will make you squirm in your seats. This is the story of RED ROOMS a.k.a. LES CHAMBRES ROUGES Plus: Two new Montreal-shot horror comedies dig up cinematic ideas about vampires (HUMANIST VAMPIRE SEEKING CONSENTING SUICIDAL PERSON), zombies (WE ARE ZOMBIES), and what makes a film French Canadian.

Rue Morgue speaks with the makeup mavens behind CREATURE COSMETICS, NOTORIOUSLY MORBID, and LUNATICK COSMETIC LABS who discuss the budding independent industry hat dares to mix beauty and horror. Plus: a Rue Morgue GLAMOUR GIFT GUIDE!

AMICUS PRODUCTIONS, the British film production company behind a slew of classic portmanteau films from the 1970s, is back from the grave.

Separated geographically but united by film, the ADAMS family takes a dusty road less travelled for WHERE THE DEVIL ROAMS.
