My personal favorite paragraph - “Once upon a time, say in the 1980s, horrors were not afraid to be quirky, weird, and outrageous, with crazy plots that actually tried to be different. It was a time when even the remakes were fresh and improving upon the originals (THE THING, THE FLY, BLOB, etc.), unlike the soulless crap produced today. PARASOMNIA has this retro-aura of a cult flick from the 1980ies strangely resurfaced today and only somewhat polished with occasional CGI.”

PARASOMNIA New Trailer and Monsterpalooza Screening!
PRE-RELEASE SCREENING -Friday May 29th - 9:00 pm @ MONSTERPALOOSA
Monsterpalooza press release - Through special arrangement with Director William Malone, Monsterpalooza will be presenting an exclusive screening of his latest feature film.
Growing up in Michigan, William Malone always had a love for all things horror and things that go bump in the night.
In the mid 70's Malone found himself at Don Post Studios creating many organic, believable creatures that were sold as masks and display pieces to the public. Even today these pieces are very sought after in the collectors market.
Years later, Malone would pursue a career in film making directing features such as Warner Brothers House on Haunted Hill, Tales from the Crypt, Fear Dot Com and Masters of Horror.
With Parasomnia (Dreams of the Sleepwalker), William Malone's homage to the late Polish Surrealist Zdzislaw Beksinski, he offers us a rare opportunity to see this wonderfully dark horror tale of romance and death before its release. Check out what others are saying about the film, and then come see it for yourself! More Details at MONSTERPALOOSA
“Parasominia begins where nightmares end and goes on deep into the flesh of madness and death. Strap yourself into your seat. You're in for a bumpy ride. - Wes Craven
“A beautiful and exotic projection of suspense and terror. Parasomnia burns with laser precision into the dream zone of your head. Cinematic hangover guaranteed. Thankfully, an original and effective experience that you can’t shake.” - Tobe Hooper
“A fascinating and fiercely original work of Art... A daring and an inspiring piece.... Something that I’ve never seen before and something that I’d love to experience again.” James Oster -Joblo Movie Network's Arrow In the Head
“a cautionary love story with a twisted killer, and amazing visuals – A modern day Grimm's fairy tale!” Spooky Dan -Bloody-Disgusting.com
“The worlds of fantasy and fatality collide! To say that Parasomnia is bloody and twisted is an understatement. Weird and Wonderful.” Staci Layne Wilson -Horror.com

REVIEW: For those of you complaining about too many remakes and not enough creativity in horror, I hope that you make plans to find William Malone’s latest PARASOMNIA upon its release. A fairy tale of sorts that weaves a web of violence, music and art into a fascinating and fiercely original work of art. Continued - JoBlo's - Arrow in the Head
Event coverage - Top horror movie directors discuss art and impact of their movies – On 5 March, world class directors Richard Elfman, Mick Garris, Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven, Bill Malone and Stuart Gordon, met in an La theatre to discuss the relationship between their movies and a, especially painting. Lucky me, I was in the audience. The inspiration for the event was Bill Malone’s visually powerful feature, Parasomnia, a movie which itself incorporates the stunning art of the late great Polish surrealist Zdzislaw Beksinski.
