Exclusive poster: Dread Central Presents’ January release “DRY BLOOD”

The ghost story DRY BLOOD will be the first 2019 release from Epic Pictures under its Dread Central Presents banner, and we’ve got an exclusive first look at the latest poster, along with the trailer.

DRY BLOOD will arrive on VOD and Blu-ray January 15. It was directed by Kelton Jones from a script by Clint Carney, who also stars along with Graham Sheldon, Jaymie Valentine, Kelton Jones, Macy Johnson, Rin Ehlers and Robert V. Galluzzo. The synopsis: “Brian Barnes returns to his mountain vacation home to sober up one final time. Most of the houses of this dwindling community sit empty during the snowless off season. This ghost town seems like the perfect place for Brian to begin putting his life back together. His attempt to get clean is soon interrupted by a sadistic local sheriff and ghastly visions of ghosts—which may or may not be hallucinations brought on by his withdrawal. Brian embarks on a terrifying quest to discover the horrible secret past of the very cabin he is sleeping in. As he pulls at the threads to the mystery, it may be his sanity that unravels first.”
