This week marks Dark Sky Film's DVD and Blu-Ray release of director Jim Mickle's post-apocalyptic vampire movie, Stake Land (which has gotten a bit of love around these parts).
To celebrate the release, we asked Jim to tell us about some of his favorite tales of the end of the world.
Time of the Wolf: One of those apocalyptic films that has nothing to do with the event and everything to do with how people respond after. Part of me despises Haneke for how he operates, but at the end of the day his movies are too good to question.
On the Beach: More of a haunting, meditation on the end of the world, and somehow strangely comforting to think they were making movies about the same things over 50 years ago.
Miracle Mile: Anthony Edwards accidentally receives a phone call informing him that nuclear missiles are on the way,...

Larry Fessenden and his production company, Glass Eye Pix, along with their low-budget horror sideline, Scareflix, have been making some of the best indie horror to come out in recent years.
From Ti West’s The Roost in 2005 and the highly acclaimed The House of the Devil in 2009 to Glenn McQuaid’s current period horror/comedy I Sell the Dead, voted Best Indie Film of 2009 by Rue Morgue magazine, Fessenden is on course to being one of the most in-demand producers/directors as well as actors in the 21st Century (check out his IMDb resume – he’s been in everything from the mainstream hit The Brave One with Jodie Foster to the cult horror favorite Session 9).
Dread Central recently interviewed the affable Fessenden about I Sell the Dead as well as future projects which, according to Larry, just may include his script for the remake of The Orphanage.
Elaine Lamkin: First off,...

This Tuesday, March 30th, is the long awaited DVD/Blu-ray release date of Glenn McQuaid's I Sell the Dead, and our trilogy of interviews with its cast and crew continues with the one -- the only -- Angus Scrimm, who portrays the character of Dr. Vernon Quint in the film.
Elaine Lamkin: Thank you for taking time to do this interview with me, Angus. First question – how did you find yourself playing Dr. Quint in I Sell the Dead? What was the attraction? And how would you describe the good doctor, whose exit from the film is both hilarious and well-deserved?
Angus Scrimm: In January, 2008, this ruddy-cheeked Irish fellow with a perpetual twinkle in his eye turned up at the Burbank, California, studio where Larry Fessenden was filming the infamous rant I contributed to Jim McKenney's Automatons DVD "extras." Undeterred by what he saw, he offered me the role of Dr.
