DREAD, the genre label of Epic Pictures Group and the distribution arm of Dreadcentral.com, announces the launch of their new streaming channel and the release of their first original content series, Chronic Horror.
Chronic Horror is an interview series that is the intersection of horror fandom, ‘munchies’, and cannabis culture hosted and created by Josh Millican. It is available exclusively on the Dread app, Dreadcentral.com, and Dread Central’s YouTube channel.
The DREAD app, which is available on Roku, Android TV, Amazon and iTunes, hosts a number of popular Epic Pictures horror films, such as Tales of Halloween, Jeruzalem, Big Ass Spider!, Last Rampage, The Monster Project, Extremity, Book of Monsters, and Black Site.
Dread Central recently announced Josh Millican and Alyse Wax as co-editors-in-chief of the site, and Millican’s expanded role as host of Chronic Horror finds him engaging with members of the horror community to talk about horror, cannabis, and everything in-between. Horror-themed lifestyle blogger and cooking host Kaci, “The Homicidal Homemaker,” brings her unique brand of baking to the show, which is directed and produced by Hank Braxtan and Arielle Brachfeld (Snake Outta Compton) and executive produced by Ewald.
“The show is a ton of fun and entertainment is our goal, but Chronic Horror is also about breaking down stereotypes and erasing the stigma associated with cannabis use,” says Millican. “It’s also important to mention that you don’t have to smoke or vape to be a Chronic Horror fan. There’s something for everyone.”
Episode one is currently available on the app, and season one will roll-out every Tuesday of October. Guests for the first wave include Los Angeles promoter Camilla Jackson, Dylan Reynolds (writer/director of 4/20 Massacre), Richard Elfman (Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, Forbidden Zone) and Scream Queen wife Anastasia, filmmaker Richard Trejo, and special effects mastermind and SOTA co-owner Matt Falletta. A special Chronic Horror Live event will take place at Arena Cinelounge in Hollywood on November 16th.
The free DREAD app is available for Roku, Android TVs, Amazon Firestick, and Apple TVs and will soon be available on iOS and Android phones.
