If you happened to be trolling the vast expanses of the Hollywood Reporter this morning, you might?ve noticed a little blurb somewhere about your favorite horror V.O.D. Channel/Web Destination (ahem? I?m talking about us, FEARnet, for those of you still sporting blank faces). The article mentions a certain something about this favorite horror V.O.D. Channel/Web Destination nabbing exclusive rights to bring fans a certain movie adapted from Clive Barker?s Books of Blood?that may, or may not, be called Midnight Meat Train?that they can view from the comfort of their own home. Well, now that the beans are spilled, all we can say is? it?s absolutely 100% true!! Yes, we?ve known for quite some time now that we?d be debuting Midnight Meat Train On Demand for those of you who haven?t caught a screening of it yet, but we wanted to wait for the perfect time to tell you. I suppose that time is now. So? surprise!! MMT marks the second major movie event that we at FEARnet have taken part in after exclusively unveiling Catacombs for you last year. So I guess the next logical question would be when can you uncork the champagne and enjoy the blood and guts for the very first time? Well we?ll have a premiere for the film on October 1st?hosted by Clive Barker himself!?followed by the web premiere on October 30th, our network?s second anniversary. MMT was produced by our partners at Lionsgate and directed by Ryuhei Kitamura. The film (which stars Bradley Cooper, Vinnie Jones, Leslie Bibb, and Roger Bart) follows a photographer as he develops a strange obsession with stalking a brutal killer, through the New York Subway System where he hacks up his victims one by one. So come for the Barker, and stay for the gore?
