‘ABC’s of Death 2 1/2’ to be Unleashed Exclusively on Vimeo

The ABC’s of Death is continuing with its latest installment the ABC’s of Death 2 1/2: World Competition Edition, and it’s being unleashed exclusively on Vimeo this August 2nd. Many of the filmmakers weren’t included in the previous release due to the difficult task of only selecting 26, but now an additional 26 will finally have the chance to showcase just what they have to offer. So, head on down below for all the details, poster, and trailer for the upcoming anthology.

From the Press Release:

Drafthouse Films has announced the upcoming release of ABC’s of Death 2 1/2: World Competition Edition, the result of an extensive global campaign intended to spotlight the most passionate and talented upcoming filmmakers in the horror genre. The latest entry in the beloved franchise will arrive exclusively on Vimeo August 2nd as a $5.99 download or $2.99 rental.

The series, known for its anarchically alphabet­-themed anthology of short films, launched a “Filmmaker Frenzy” competition for the segment devoted to the letter “M” – collecting more than 500 three-minute long entries from over 40 countries in the process – including Robert Boocheck’s winning entry, “M is for Masticate,” featured in ABC’s of Death 2.

ABC’s of Death 2 1/2 showcases an additional top 26 finalists, providing fans 85 minutes of unadulterated madness, including “M is for Marauder,” “M is for Malnutrition,” and “M is for Mariachi,” along with plenty more new nightmare fuel to tide them over until the next numbered segment in the series.

“The production team had a real blast selecting the 26 shorts that make up ABC’s of Death 2 1/2,” said producer and series creator Ant Timpson. “The hard part was only selecting 26, as the competition provided so many outstanding entries. We couldn’t be happier with the final lineup. There’s enough horror, humor, weirdness, and, frankly, truly fucked up material to give even the most jaded fan a wake-up call from Hell.”

The film is currently available for pre­-order from Vimeo.com/ondemand/abcsdeath25.
