With Saw V now loose in theaters and Halloween coming this Friday there won’t be too many horror-centric movies left for the rest of the year, but… as we all know January through April is going to be chock full of incredible scary movies for you to quench your insatiable bloodlust with.  The biggest event of that season has gotta be the one that’s kicking it all off – After Dark’s annual Horrorfest: 8 Films To Die For.  Almost all of the films have been announced and now’s about the time when we start getting first glimpses at what we can expect.  Well, today we have just that.  We just got the second still from the cannibal-tinged, camping-trip-gone-wrong Dying Breed, and the first peek at Adam Gierasch’s (director of the upcoming Night of the Demons remake) onslaught-o’-gore Autopsy (just the name makes your stomach churn, doesn’t it?).  Check out the pics below.

“In Dying Breed, two couples penetrate the Tasmanian wilderness in order to prove that an ancient species known as the Tasmanian Tiger still exists. What they find is a species much more horrifying than they ever imagined. Jody Dwyer directed the film based on a script he penned with Michael Boughen and Rod Morris. Nathan Phillips (Snakes on a Plane, Wolf Creek) and Leigh Whannell (Saw I and III) star.”

“In Autopsy, a group of young partygoers are taken to an isolated hospital after a car accident.  Once there, they become trapped in the hospital along with a number of helpless patients.  Adam Gierasch directed from a script he wrote with Jace Anderson and E.L. Katz.  Autopsy stars Robert Patrick (Balls of Fury, Terminator 2), Jessica Lowndes (90210) and Jenette Goldstein (Aliens) with Ross McCall (Band of Brothers).”

In past years the After Dark Horrorfest has been home to such films as The Abandoned, Tooth and Nail, The HamiltonsDark Ride, Mulberry StreetPenny Dreadful, and Nightmare Man.  This year's participants include the aforementioned Dying Breed and Autopsy as well as The Broken, Slaughter, Perkins' 14, Butterfly Effect: Revelation, and From Within.
