Greetings, all. It’s Ambush Bug with some low budget, home video, and independent horror news—bite size, just how you zombies like it!
Rub-a-dub-dub, there’s a creepy monster in the tub in this pic from JESSABELLE!
Check out this wicked pic from the upcoming film JESSABELLE which may or may not be connected to the TWILIGHT ZONE episode of the same name. Here’s the synopsis;Returning to her childhood home in Louisiana to recuperate from a horrific car accident, Jessabelle (Sarah Snook of SLEEPING BEAUTY) comes face to face with a long-tormented spirit that has been seeking her return -- and has no intention of letting her escape.
The full trailer is going to be released on Yahoo Movies tomorrow. Find out more on the JESSABELLE Facebook page. Plus I’m not sure what Snapchat is (something the kids are using these days, I guess) so I’ll quote what else you can do to stay connected with recent developments on JESSABELLE;
THAT'S NOT ALL! Keep up with everything JESSABELLE by adding JESSABELLE1988 to your Snapchat! Get exclusive sneak peeks, messages from filmmakers, and opportunities surrounding the film’s release ONLY by following JESSABELLE1988. Don't miss a single, terrifying moment from JESSABELLE!
So, yeah, there’s that. The image definitely looks creepy though and I’m looking forward to checking this one out when it gets a major theatrical release this August 29th!
