Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
Wood Evil, a new horror film, apparently set to be filmed in Inchnacardoch Forest, near Fort Augustus in the Highlands, is believed to be a scam, police have warned, after the Northern Constabulary and the Highland Film Commission said they knew nothing about the project.
The “company” behind the film have allegedly been asking prospective extras to pay a [...]
The undead nazi menace continues to grow in popularity within the genre, following the success of the likes of Dead Snow, we have the impending The 4th Reich, Nazis at the Center of the Earth, and Frankenstein’s Army this year alone. This is to say nothing of the next instalment in the Outpost series, Outpost: Black Sun, which we all here at AndyErupts are looking forward [...]
I guess the perfect way to start the short horror films section on a Scottish based horror news and reviews site is to begin with a Scottish made short…and it’s a little gem.
Fingal’s Dream is a 9 minute affair that oozes respectability from the opening scene. It has a warm, bittersweet Ken Loach feel to [...]
I think the release of Black Camel Pictures’ Outpost in 2008 took a lot of people by surprise.
I for one, loved Outpost. It managed to be a sleeper hit by being genuinely suspenseful, well made, not to mention filled with real actors (Ray Stevenson and Kill List’s Michael Smiley among them) and believable characters…and of course, [...]
Ooooft! How about this for a bit of Scottish horror news just before the weekend…

For those of you not in the know, School of the Damned works something like this:
“It is 1936 [...]
Since it’s Burns Night, I think it’s only appropriate that a bit of Scottish news comes to the fore!
The Dying Seconds is a horror feature film written and directed by Kris Rennie and Morgan Black; and will be filmed in and around Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, with principal filming having begun back in October 2011.
The Dying [...]
Period horror flicks seem to be the rage du jour in Hollywood at the moment with projects such as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter both in the works. However, neither of these titles particularly captured my imagination… unlike news of upcoming comedy horror The Curse of The Buxom Strumpet!
The Curse [...]
Back in July, we reported on Scottish horror film The Bench. Now, in the run-up to St Andrew’s Day; director, writer and producer Sean Wilkie has been in touch to let us know of the progress of his project:
“It’s been a long hard road making The Bench but we are getting there and we are [...]
Bringing you Scottish horror-related news in the run up to St Andrew’s Day, Hard-working Scottish author William Meikle has just released two new paperbacks that will appeal to fans of the genre and Meikle’s particular style alike; The new novella Sherlock Holmes Revenant and the new Dark Regions Double (Flip-it) book containing two novels, The [...]
“Love bites”, “nookies” or “hickies” to our American readers, are generally considered pretty low brow, pretty tacky. Interesting title for a horror flick but, already slated for a 2012 release, horror comedy Love Bite is currently filming in Scotland near Dunbar, East Lothian.
