Stan Helsing: In this insane spoof every horror movie ever made comes hilariously to life as slacker Stan and his stoner pals try to deliver videos to a deserted California town on Halloween night. After being stalked by realistic replicas of horror characters Freddy Kruger Pinhead and The Creeper our gang arrives in the small burg which formerly contained a horror movie studio - hence the throngs of freaky familiar characters literally crawling the streets. Our crew of two mischievous guys and two sexy girls outwit and outslash every cinematic horror character - or in the case of Michael Jackson merely horrific - to uncover the town's shocking secret: the studio's still at it making movies of a very ahem different kind. When the creatures won't let our heroes leave Stan decides to live up to his monster-slaying namesake's destiny. But first he must endure a Survivor-style competition: gobbling down body parts! Risqu'' righteous revolting and ridiculous Stan Helsing is more than a slayer - it's totally killer. I Sell The Dead: 19th century justice has finally caught up to grave robbers Arthur Blake (Dominic Monaghan) and Willie Grimes (Larry Fessenden). With the specter of the guillotine looming over him young Blake confides in visiting clergyman Father Duffy (Ron Perlman) recounting fifteen years of adventure in the resurrection trade. His tale leads from humble beginnings as a young boy stealing trinkets from corpses to a partnership with seasoned ghoul Willie Grimes as they hunt creatures unwilling to accept their place in the ground. The colourful and peculiar history of Grimes and Blake is one filled with adventure horror and vicious rivalries that threaten to put all involved in the very graves they're trying to pilfer. My Name Is Bruce: Something evil is stirring in the small mining town of Gold Lick and it's not happy. Guan-di the Chinese protector of the dead has been awakened by reckless teenagers and now his bloody crusade to wipe out the town's entire population can only be stopped by one man - Bruce Campbell (the guy who starred in all three Evil Dead movies and Bubba Ho-tep) B-movie star and deadbeat ex-husband extraordinaire who's recruited to be their unwitting savior. When our hero faces off against a dark force more fearsome than a Hollywood agent the laughs and screams start flying!
