I received an email from a rep at White Lotus Productions about a new indie horror movie they are trying to promote, HazMat.

“HazMat” won Best Horror Film at the Berlin Independent Film Festival and the Massachusetts Independent Film Festival. It also has been a selection of Shriekfest, Bram Stoker International Film Festival, and the Indie Horror Film Festival.

I took a look at the trailer and liked what I saw. (It’s embedded below for your viewing pleasure also.)

I grew up on slasher movies. I think they’ll always have special place in my heart.

But this one also added something else I’m fond of: reality TV.

THE PREMISE

HazMat is about a group of friends who set one of their friends up on a show called Scary Antics. Trouble is, the joke backfires and causes the friend to snap. He ends up wielding an ax to hunt them all.

Nice.

Proof once again karma is a bitch, eh?

It hits DVD on April 1, 2014. No joke. (Since that’s April Fool’s Day and all. Figured I better clarify that.)

THE TRAILER

Courtney Mroch

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.

Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
