Horror and short film fans have been all a buzz for the upcoming feature length collaboration of horror shorts entitled The ABC's of Death. ABC's will feature 26 different short films delivered by 26 unique directors in a high octane, terrifying, and bloody mass of thrills and horrific fun. 

It was confirmed just a few days ago that The ABC's of Death will have its world premiere at the prestigious Midnight Madness event of this year's Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The film will presented alongisde other highly anticipated films such as Rob Zombie's latest, The Lords of Salem, and Don Coscarelli's John Dies At The End.

According to the official synopsis:

FROM THE DIRECTORS OF

HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN, A SERBIAN FILM, TOKYO GORE POLICE, YOU'RE NEXT & Many More

COMES THE GENRE EVENT OF 2012

Twenty-six directors. Twenty-six ways to die. The ABC’s OF DEATH is perhaps the most ambitious anthology film ever conceived with productions spanning fifteen countries and featuring segments directed by over two dozen of the world's leading talents in contemporary genre film. Inspired by children’s educational books, the motion picture is comprised of twenty-six individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free reign in choosing a word to create a story involving death.

Provocative, shocking, funny and ultimately confrontational, THE ABC’s OF DEATH is the definitive vision of modern horror diversity. Drafthouse Films, Magnet Pictures and Timpson Films are proud to present this alphabetical arsenal of destruction orchestrated by what Fangoria calls "a stunning roll call of some of the most exciting names in horror across the world." 

The film's premiere date has been slated for September 14, 2012 at TIFF. So if you're a fan of the art of short films and eccentric horror, it's time to get your tickets ready and head on over to Toronto for a very special treat!

The ABC's of Death features short films from directors Ti West, Xavier Gens, Jason Eisner, Jake West, & many more, and stars Lucy Clements, Erik Aude, Kim Richardson & much much more!
