AFTER DARK ORIGINALS nails in a release date

Instead of another AFTER DARK HORRORFEST, this year the company is bringing us 8 internally produced films.  The difference with AFTER DARK ORIGINALS and their previous program AFTER DARK HORRORFEST is this time around After Dark Films was involved with the individual films from the ground up.  Today, After Dark Films has unleashed when we can see these films that will only be in theaters for a week – more than likely with the same scheduling as the previous AFTER DARK HORRORFEST – as well as releasing a poster and a still from two separate films.

The official release date for the eight films taking part in the AFTER DARK ORIGINALS program will be January 28, 2011.  No word on the official list of theater locations, but keep your eyes peeled here and as soon as we receive the list we will publish it.

Tapping into the vast and innovative talent of directors and filmmakers from Horrorfest’s acquisitions over the past 4 years, After Dark has taken the horror festival concept to a higher level. After Dark Originals showcases eight new cutting edge horror films spanning the genre. The mission is to create high quality horror films that provide After Dark full control from script concept through final editing. The first installment of ADO includes Husk, Fertile Ground, Scream Of The Banshee, Prowl, The Task, Re-Kill, Seconds Apart and 51. Notable directors and writers include Brett Simmons, whose short film Husk took Sundance by storm several years ago, Steven C. Miller of Automaton Transfusion fame, and previous After Dark writer/director Adam Gierasch (Autopsy). All ADO films were shot in the US and Bulgaria.

Today, After Dark Films release a poster for Scream Of The Banshee:
