QUEER HORROR FOR EVERYONE IN "OCTOBER MOON" 


In the past few years, a new subgenre of gay horror films has emerged. Sadly, most of the movies have been produced purely to make a quick buck and either played it safe by trying to appease to a straight audience (usually women, who could also enjoy the hunks on display) or were simply cookie-cutter, stereotypical stories that didn't accurately reflect the gay lifestyle. 

Writer/director Jason Paul Collum (SOMETHING TO SCREAM ABOUT) has set out to change that. On February 14th, 2006, Tempe DVD will debut OCTOBER MOON, a brand-new production which is squarely aimed at the queer horror audience but which also has a story to tell that will appeal to anyone who's ever had an uncontrollable crush, regardless of their sexual orientation ($24.99 SRP, prebook January 6, 2006).

Elliot, a shy young man, is shunned by his family, friends and fiancée when he falls for another man, Corin. Unfortunately, Corin already has a significant other, and as Elliot finds himself rejected at every turn, he slips into paranoia and rage, determined to get what he desires most...

Taking a cue from such tales of obsessive love as FATAL ATTRACTION, Tempe's OCTOBER MOON stars horror legends Judith O'Dea (NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD) and Brinke Stevens (SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE) along with Tina Ona Paukstelis (ASWANG: THE UNEARTHING), Jeff Dylan Graham (DEAD & ROTTING) and a host of talented newcomers. Director Jason Paul Collum is no stranger to horror, having helmed a critically-praised documentary on B-movie actresses called SOMETHING TO SCREAM ABOUT (also available on Tempe DVD) which debuted on Showtime earlier this year.

Tempe and Collum's B+Boy Productions have an extensive publicity blitz underway, with recent coverage in Instinct, Scene and FANGORIA magazines as well as an appearance on the L.A. talk show On Q Live with Collum and stars Judith O'Dea & Brinke Stevens. The film is also currently being screened to rave reviews across the nation which continues to heighten interest in this release! The OCTOBER MOON DVD also includes a 10-minute featurette on the making of the film, audio commentary with the director and star, 4 still galleries, weblinks and trailers.
