I Sell the Dead, the first feature by Glenn McQuaid, opens with grave-robber Arthur Blake (Dominic Monaghan) telling a priest (Ron Perlman) about how he met friend and co-worker Willie Grimes (Larry Fessenden, reprising his role from McQuaid's original short, The Resurrection Apprentice, on which this movie's based). Told with lengthy flashbacks, the story follows Arthur and Willie from regular grave-robbing to "ghouling." The difference? Grave-robbers will only steal the dead, but ghouls will steal "just about anything." They find vampires, aliens, zombies — all sorts of undead creatures and spooks, for which they can make a whole lotta moolah.
Everything's going swimmingly until Fanny (Brenda Cooney, who also appeared in The Resurrection Apprentice), Arthur's lady friend, gets involved. Smelling big money, she convinces Arthur and Willie to embark on a dangerous mission: steal a gig from a rival gang, the House of Murphy — Cornelius (John Speredakos), the man so mean...

I Sell the Dead made a move to DVD and Blu-Ray today, with extras now available. The film stars Dominic Monaghan (Lost), Larry Fessenden (Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever), Angus Scrimm (Wishmaster), and Ron Pearlman (Dark Country) as two grave robbers who bite off too much of the supernatural to chew. Bonus features run the gamut of cast and director commentaries to making of featurettes (visual effects). A blend of the comedic, action, and horror genres, I Sell the Dead was one of the better releases from 2009. More details on this title below.
The synopsis for I Sell the Dead here:
"18th century justice catches up with a pair of grave robbers. With only a few hours to go before his date with the guillotine, Arthur Blake (Monaghan) tells his life story to Father Francis Duffy (Ron Perlman). Before long, Arthur spills the beans on how he got started in...

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.

Every single time I see it on Xbox Live I want to rewatch it, and if you still haven't checked out Magnet Releasing's The House Of The Devil, an 80's homage from director Ti West, what the heck are you waiting for. While also on Demand, the flick will play at this month's Screamfest Horror Film Festival in Hollywood, before arriving in limited theaters October 30. This is the perfect Halloween movie. While Magnet has already released the film starring Greta Gerwig, Jocelin Donahue, Aj Bowen, Tom Noonan, Mary Woronov, Dee Wallace, Mary B. McCanna and Brenda Cooney, we still got more goods on the way including four retro one sheets that really evoke the spirit of the movie. Dig on 'em inside.

Revisionist horror favorite Larry Fessenden (director of Habit, Wendigo and The Last Winter) returned to Montreal’s just-wrapped Fantasia film festival this year with two new films from his indie-horror production company Scareflix: Ti West’s incredibly atmospheric ‘80s horror tribute House Of The Devil (a smash success at Tribeca and a late but great addition to the Fantasia program; see review here) and Glenn McQuaid’s period horror-comedy tribute to British ‘60s/’70s horror classics, I Sell The Dead (another Fango rave; see here; I Sell The Dead goes into limited theatrical release this Friday and is concurrently available as a video-on-demand from IFC Films).
Fessenden was on hand with co-producer Peter Phok and first-time feature director Glenn McQuaid for their award-winning I Sell The Dead, a one-of-a-kind dark adventure film depicting the daily lives and supernatural woes of two lowlife body-snatchers, played by Fessenden himself and Dominic Monaghan...

One thing I love about the Glass Eye Pix crew is their use of Angus Scrimm who plays a long-dead scientist and quasi-father to the main character of this story, surrounded by her robots and in constant battle with those jerks across the way. (I won't mention that her acting is terrible, oh wait, I just did) It's still a cool little flick though, sweet robots and don't forget, The Tall Man. Director James Felix McKenney dropped us a line and let us now the whole movie is now available for free online via NY Publuic TV's Wnet Reel 13 website, so go enjoy!
A global war has left the surface of the Earth uninhabitable, and the few humans who have lived through the conflict have been driven underground in order to survive. The Girl (Christine Spencer) lives in a subterranean bunker that she shares with several rattletrap robots of her own design.

"The House of the Devil," an independent film from writer and director Ti West (The Roost) is currently premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival with plans to show at the Marche du Film Market screening in May. Set in 1983 the film boasts a plethora of nostalgic 80s tunes and from one early review "The House of the Devil," stays in a glossy, but only slightly campy theme similar to horror films from this decade. Utilizing the positive in some dark subject matter the film focuses on Samantha, a street-smart babysitter who gets involved with a fiendish family of Satan worshipers non-descriptively known as Mr. and Mrs. Ulman. Have a look at the first grainy trailer as "The House of the Devil," makes a second premiere in Cannes, France.

This evening we've posted the first ever review of Ti West's (The Roost, Trigger Man, Cabin Fever 2) latest genre effort, The House Of The Devil, which will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival (April 22-May 3) later this month. " 'The House of the Devil' is easily Ti Wests most accomplished work to date and its a film that both West and Dark Sky Films/Mpi should be very, very proud of. While the audience is sure to be divided once again, Devil does carry enough pop, blood and scares to give the average naysayer a reason to jump ship." Greta Gerwig, Jocelin Donahue, Aj Bowen, Tom Noonan, Mary Woronov, Dee Wallace, Mary B. McCann, Brenda Cooney, John Speredakos, Heather Robb all star. Click below to read the whole review.

Rating: 9 out of 10
The setting was perfect: it was just the second theatre showing ever of I Sell The Dead, it was the North American premiere, it was the final film of the best-ever third edition of the Toronto After Dark Film Fest, and in attendance were director/writer Glenn McQuaid, producer/actor Larry Fessenden, actor Angus Scrimm, actor Brenda Cooney, and producer Peter Phok. You could feel the buzz. And hardly miss Mr. Scrimm’s ultra-funky white glasses.
The movie? High-caliber comedy-horror, done vignette style, as Irish grave robber Arthur Blake (adroitly played by Dominic Monaghan) tells a series of macabre yet wacky tales to a really big priest, Father Duffy (delightfully played by Quiet Earth fave, Ron Perlman) as he awaits his beheading in five hours.
