Teaser arrives for anthology sequel Volumes of Blood: Horror Stories

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Last year, we shared the trailer for VOLUMES OF BLOOD, a horror anthology that featured segments directed by Jakob Bilinski, Nathan Thomas Milliner, John Kenneth Muir, P.J. Starks, and Lee Vervoort, all of them set in or around the Daviess County Public Library in Owensboro, Kentucky. That movie has been making the festival and convention rounds and I was lucky enough to catch a screening of it at last fall's edition of the Cinema Wasteland convention. I found it to be a rather enjoyable film, and was surprised by how far it went. It was made in partnership with a library, but the filmmakers didn't use that as an excuse to tone down the violence and gore.

A sequel is now in the works, VOLUMES OF BLOOD: HORROR STORIES, which will consist of seven segments – Murder Death Killer, directed by Jakob Bilinski; Trick or Treat, directed by Sean Blevins; A Killer House, directed by Jim O'Rear; Feeding Time, directed by John William Holt; Blood Bath, directed by Jon Maynard; Fear, For Sinners Here, directed by Nathan Thomas Milliner; and The Deathday Party, directed by Justin Seaman.

Synopsis: 

A couple plans to purchase an old home, but would like one last tour before the closing. They’re guided around the estate by a creepy realtor that may have more in store than they bargained for. Searching floor by floor, they begin to discover the remnants of its sordid and terrifying past… A popular 80’s franchise gets a modern upgrade, but at what price? On Halloween night a teen left home alone meets a trick or treater that wants more than just candy. A door to door insurance salesman makes a Thanksgiving house call with monstrous consequences. Andrew and Sara are happily married and plan on spending some quality time together, but something sinister has other plans for their evening. Carol’s Christmas Eve turns into a fight for survival when a vengeful stranger isn’t feeling the holiday spirit. Lastly, a birthday party turns bloody when some unexpected guests drop by at the wrong time. Seven interwoven tales of terror, how many stories does your house have?

Sounds like another good time to me. I will definitely be watching this one when there's a chance, and am especially interested in the segments about the '80s franchise reboot, Milliner's (since his segment was my favorite in the first VOLUMES), and The Deathday Party by THE BARN's Justin Seaman.
