By distributing freaky features like Timecrimes, Tucker and Dale vs Evil, I Saw the Devil, and Trollhunter, Magnet Releasing has built an incredible reputation among horror fanatics for bringing some of the most intriguing new titles and macabre emerging filmmakers to Stateside theaters and VOD. Now, just months after unveiling the twisted found footage anthology V/H/S, Magnet is prepping for the release of its next horror anthology The ABCs Of Death, which boasts even more scary shorts and more directors with a sick sense of humor.
With a chapter for each letter of the alphabet, The ABCs Of Death offers 26 horror shorts directed by such notable helmers as Ben Wheatley (Kill List), Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes), Ti West (The Innkeepers), and Noboru Iguchi (The Machine Girl). And with segment titles like "V is for Vagitus" and "W is for WTF," you can bet that this ensemble of auteurs will be bringing some seriously sick stories to the screen.

Watching the trailer, it's fun to speculate what the other letters might represent. Is P for Pedophile? F for Furry? Clearly D is for Dogfight, but is S for surgery, spiders, suicide or something even more disturbing? Well, fellow horror fans, we'll find out when The ABCs Of Death becomes available on demand January 31st. A theatrical release will follow on March 8th.
