In this post-Columbine era, you have to wonder how this will play in the mainstream media…assuming the mainstream media cares about the After Dark Horrorfest. We’ll find out when the After Dark Horrorfest hits screens on January 29, 2010.

This week, The Killing Room — a direct-to-video flick that nonetheless sports a big-name cast (Timothy Hutton, Chloë Sevigny, Clea DuVall, Nick Cannon) — premieres at 9:00 PM ET/PT on Thursday, November 12 on Showtime. It’s worth a look for the interesting, if improbable and illogical, conclusion.
