DARKNESS named INDY FILM OF THE WEEK, 4 New Reviews, BEST BUY restocked and FANGORIA DVD contest ends!

Hey everyone,



DARKNESS named INDEPENDENT FILM OF THE WEEK!
The insane bastards over at DVD RESURRECTIONS have honored DARKNESS: THE VAMPIRE VERSION with the title of INDEPENDENT FILM OF THE WEEK!  Plus, they gave us a kick ass positive review saying:    "...I highly recommend you buy this movie on DVD right now while you still can.  ...you will love this film to death and look at independent cinema in a whole new way!"   Thanks guys!  Check out DVD RESURRECTIONS by clicking HERE!

4 NEW POSITIVE REVIEWS for the DARKNESS 2-Disc DVD!
I've added excerpts from 4 new looks at the DVD in the last week to the review page.  All four are positive recommendations for the DVD and we'd like to thank Devon Bertsch and our friends at DIGITAL RETRIBUTION, The Dead One and our pals at JO-BLO'S HORROR REVIEW FORUMS, zer0hal0 and the gang at DVD RESURRECTIONS and Matt Bradshaw and all the readers at THE OMEGA CHANNEL! 
Check em all out at a glance on the REVIEW PAGE!

BEST BUY restocked!
I've had a lot of folks write saying that their BEST BUY stores were sold out of the flick after the first week or two of release and that they were taking a long time to restock.  Well, I've got word that in the last week or two copies have begun to reappear on the shelves nationwide.  However, keep in mind that for some reason, as of yet unexplained to me, BEST BUY only took the standard single-disc copy.  If you want the DELUXE, LIMITED EDITION 2-DISC SET you can find it on the shelves at TOWER VIDEO, TLA VIDEO, WHEREHOUSE and dozens of other brick & mortar outlets.  If you prefer to order it online, check out the BUY THE DVD page here on the site for a list of over 50 online retailers!

FANGORIA contest has ended!
The FANGORIA Online DVD give-away contest ended on July 5th.  Keep an eye out here for the list of winners once I get them -- the grand prize winner of which will receive signed copies of FANGORIA MAGAZINE issues #254 & #132 with the recent article on the DVD and the article from 1995 discussing the original VHS release!  (See pics above!)  Check back here to see if you won and thanks to Mike Gingold, Tony Timpone and everyone at FANGO as well as thanks to everyone who entered the contest!

That's a wrap for now!
We've got a lot of projects brewing and we're hoping to be able to make an announcement soon, but that's all the "official" news for now.  Thanks for checking out the website and be sure to come back on August 13th for all the latest news on DARKNESS: THE VAMPIRE VERSION and 13th DREAM ENTERTAINMENT!
