Surprise, surprise, surprise guess who is coming to Grossfest 2024?! This is something that has been in the works since we began Grossfest. This person is a longtime friend, a brother to me, a person I have respected and championed his work for years to not just independent filmmakers but to all horror fans, you have heard me scream at conventions about him we present to you Grossfest fans: the man, the myth, the legend, the greatest horror T-shirt person out there T-shirt Joe Garcia!!!
May 1, 2024 – Brad Sykes’ previously unreleased SOV horror movie DREAMS OF THE DEAD has been acquired for Blu-ray release. Made in Virginia Beach, Virginia over the summer of 1994 by student filmmakers including Brett Edenton (THE PACT), DREAMS OF THE DEAD is a gripping supernatural horror film which combines Eurohorror imagery with Tales from the Darkside-style atmosphere.
Sykes, whose many horror credits include CAMP BLOOD, DEATH FACTORY and PLAGUERS, did not initially seek release for DREAMS OF THE DEAD back in 1994, screening it only for friends and family.
30 years later, DREAMS OF THE DEAD is ready to be unleashed, with a new music score by composer David Zuzelo and a new sound mix and titles by filmmaker Anthony Catanese. The result is an improved viewing experience that still retains the look and feel of the film’s gritty analog origins.
DREAMS OF THE DEAD will be released on VHS by Nightfall Pictures in Fall 2024 with a special edition Blu-ray to follow in 2025. Local screenings are planned throughout the US this year so indie horror fans can experience this one-of-a-kind horror film for the first time ever.
DREAMS OF THE DEAD Synopsis
Creatively blocked and recovering from a bad breakup, writer Adrian Hallow becomes obsessed with a series of letters he receives in the mail. Addressed to the previous occupant, who disappeared under strange circumstances, all the letters are written by a serial killer known as ‘K’. At the same time, a mysterious woman appears to Adrian in a series of disturbing dreams, beckoning him to save her. Adrian’s reality unravels as he begins a quest to find the truth behind the woman and her strange connection to K. Will Adrian rescue her in time, or simply become K’s next victim?

So spread the word we are two days this year. Tell your friends, relatives, scream it from the rooftops; share it on all yinz social medias n’at as we want this to be the biggest Grossfest yet?!
Grossfest got some excellent news this week from Jessa Flux about her fulfilling her dream! We support this and already have it in the works of working to bring her in for Grossfest 2025? So of course we always have a list of great independent people to bring in so let’s waste no time greeting and introducing our next two guests for Grossfest 2024 as they are super talented and sure yinz will love them:
Roni Jonah started her career as a professional wrestler, managing Mike “The Miz” Mizanin. From there, she became a staple on the indie film scene, appearing in nearly 80 films. Including fan favorites Shark Exorcist 1 and 2, Thrust, Deadly Dealings and The Wicked Ones among others. Definitely keep a look out for Roni starring alongside Erin Brown (aka Misty Mundae) in the upcoming Scream Dream.
Jason Crowe, a Kentucky native started his film career with a bang, landing the lead role in the now cult classic zombie film, “Dead Moon Rising.” Since then, Jason, a “fearless” actor known for immersing himself within a character, won best actor for his honest portrayal of Josh in Harvest Lake, and has continued on in films such as The Bad Man, Space Babes from Outer Space, The Wicked Ones and Hooker with a Hacksaw.
