Pics From the Premiere of HELLBENDERS 3D!

What do you get when you cross a bunch of foul-mouthed, debaucherous religious figures, an ungodly amount of drugs and sex, and a pile of demons? That's right, it's the Republican National Convention!

Just kidding.  You get the world premiere of JT Petty's hilarious take on the exorcism horror, Hellbenders 3D. Ian Goring took his trusty camera to the red carpet on that holiest of all holy days, Sunday, for the event!

JT Petty three-peats at Midnight Madness!

The one and only Dan Fogler!

Did you know that Clancy Brown is in two Midnight Madness films this year? He's also in Saturday's John Dies At The End!

"It's like they're right in front of me..."

Is Clancy Brown ever NOT awesome? (answer: no)

HELLBENDERS screening times:

Pics From the Premiere of NO ONE LIVES!

Somebody call my momma! Brodus Clay and the rest of the cast were in town to promote WWE Films newest acquisition, No One Lives, the bizarrely inverted slasher/revenge flick that showed everyone at the Saturday night screening at the Ryerson just what it looks like when a pro wrestler 'gives birth' to what some of the females (and a few males) in the audience described as a 'breathtakingly beautiful man'.

Anyways, Ian Goring, our resident shutterbug, was on the red carpet as the Funkasaurus and the other survivors (just kidding, there are no survivors) of No One Lives rocked the house!

Badass, foul-mouthed, and controversial director Ryûhei Kitamura

The only living, breathing Funkasaurus in captivity, It's Brodus Clay!

The lovely America Olivo returns to Midnight Madness

F-Bombs.  So very many F-Bombs.

Ryuhei Kitamura, America, Olivo & Brodus Clay Talk NO ONE LIVES

Last night marked the return of Ryuhei Kitamura the director of Midnight Madness crowd favorite Versus after eleven years with his latest film NO ONE LIVES. Let's just say this, the film delivers upon it's title, definitely a midnight film. Robert A. Mitchell was on the red carpet hoping to make it out alive -- at the moment we have not heard from him, but a festival volunteer found this footage....

5 Things You Should Know About NO ONE LIVES' America Olivo

America Olivo is one of the stars of NO ONE LIVES. Here are five things you should know about her:

1) This isn't her first time in Midnight Madness. She played Camero, one of the Villains from Bitch Slap!

2) She's a classically trained opera singer who graduated from The Julliard School in New York. Cadence is important to opera singers so make sure you pronounce her name right: Ah-mer-ee-kah (Like Costa Rica).

3) If you think you saw her around Toronto, you probably did because she just wrapped up shooting a guest appearance on the Warehouse 13.

4) She was the understudy for the actress playing the villian, Arachne, in the Broadway musical Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark. Don't worry, she survived!

5) I hear she has a thing for Indian guys in Hawaiian shirts. Hey, a guy can dream can't he?

So, does the lovely America make it to the end of NO ONE LIVES? Only one way to find out!

NO ONE LIVES Premieres Tonight!

Way back in 2001, Colin Geddes introduced Midnight Madness audiences to a director named Ryûhei Kitamura. The film was Versus and no Zombie/Yakuza/Samurai film has come along to top it. Kitamura-san holds special meaning for me because Versus was my first Midnight Madness film.  I've got a framed poster from the film in my media room back home in Richmond, VA.

But Kitamura-san won't be the only Midnight Alum involved with this film. NO ONE LIVES also stars America Olivo who starred as Camero in Bitch Slap!

Oh, and lets not forget WWEs Brodus Clay. Kitamura unleashed a guy he saw fighting in the streets for Versus and let loose with Vinnie Jones in Midnight Meat Train. Just imagine the carnage he can unleash with a WWE superstar!
