We get a boatload of news from horror filmmakers, musicians, writers, and artists each week. We unfortunately
don't have the staff to get a news angle on all of them but it's still stuff we think you'd be interested in. So as a means to
get you the same news they send us, we're going to use this place for their press releases.

Donnie Goth Webstrip
Ricardo Porven creator of Three Days the Devil Danced and Chupacabra announces his latest project, Donnie Goth.
Donnie Goth is a webstrip that chronicles the misadventures of a seven-year-old Goth boy named Donnie and his zombie creating necro-salamander pet, Oliver. The strip is featured on its own website donniegoth.com with plans to expand to other sites soon. Unlike the many static webcomics popular on the internet today, the strip makes use of an innovative navigation tool, sound effects and a background music track. It also features a button on each panel that allows you to remove the word balloons, letting the viewer appreciate the artwork without the dialogue.
The site also features free downloads of desktop pictures and avatars as well as a store, where a fan could purchase a rather good-looking collection of Donnie Goth merchandise. "I plan to add new features, strips, and merchandise regularly, so it’s important for people to check back every couple of weeks or so," Porven said.
