For horror fans, August is one of the best months of the year. It perfectly captures the spirit of Summerween, when spooky season starts creeping in long before the leaves begin to fall. This year, August kicks off with an especially meaningful celebration for me. August 2 marks the birthdays of two of my favorite writers and directors, Wes Craven and Kevin Smith. It's also my birthday and the anniversary of the I Love Horror Podcast, making it the perfect way to kick off another month of celebrating the genre I love. Adding even more excitement to the festivities, FOUND TV is delivering another solid lineup of found footage and indie horror releases throughout the month, giving fans plenty of chilling new films to stream as Summerween rolls on. Mark your calendars for these new FOUND TV releases:
