DANCE OF THE DEAD EXTRAS

THIS JUST IN FROM DIRECTOR GREGG BISHOP! Big CONGRATULATIONS to all of you-- YOU EARNED THIS!!! I am so proud of this movie and all of you. (please pass this along to anyone I missed!) -Gregg Beverly Hills, CA, May 16, 2008 - Ghost House Underground has acquired “Dance of the Dead,” directed by Gregg Bishop, which made its international debut at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin earlier this year. Written by Joe Ballarini and produced by Bishop and Ehud Bleiberg through Bleiberg Entertainment’s Compound B label, the film is to be distributed by Lionsgate in North America this fall as part of Ghost House Underground’s inaugural October Horror slate. “Dance of the Dead” is the hilarious, blood-drenched adventure of several high school students from different social cliques banding together to save their town from the living dead. Reviews have compared the film to the works of both John Carpenter and John Hughes. "Between Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert at Ghost House, the experience of Barry & Stan at Grindstone, and Lionsgate, who is the king of genre marketing and distribution... 'Dance of the Dead' has found the perfect home,” Bishop said. “I am thrilled to be working with them both and I know they will do a fantastic job bringing the movie to audiences everywhere." The deal was brokered by Barry Brooker and Stan Wertlieb of Ghost House Underground and Roman Kopelevich and Shannon Banal for Bleiberg Entertainment’s Compound B. Ghost House Underground also holds rights in the UK, Australia and New Zealand while Bleiberg Entertainment retains the remaining worldwide rights. The film will have its market premiere screening in Cannes.
