by
L. C. Cruell, Diana Kemp, and Linda S. Scott
Award-winning writer/director
L. C. Cruell and screenwriters Linda S. Scott and Diana Kemp bring you, "Mistresses of Horror."
The
feature script "Mistresses of Horror" is perhaps the very first of its kind -- an all female-written, all female-directed
horror anthology. Having signed a franchise deal
with MTP Worldwide, "Mistresses of Horror" is now poised to become another first of its kind - an all-female horror franchise, its
sole purpose to showcase the best, darkest, twisted, most wicked tales in horror created by women, for everyone.
With a future range of content including features, series, graphic novels, websites, and ebooks, there will be many new nightmares
out there for you all to enjoy. LOGLINE: A mysterious brothel in New Orleans exists solely for those destined to find it, catering to only the
most select clientele. But for the corrupt, the decadent, and the damned, there is but one way in… and no way out.
Three award-winning female voices in horror gather to bring you six gruesome stories of flesh and fear. The Mistresses of
Horror present “Mistresses of Horror.” SYNOPSIS: Seven unsuspecting
tourists and curious wanderers learn the price of passion when a seemingly innocuous tour guide offers them a glimpse of the
real New Orleans. Led through the misty streets by night, they are shaken by tales told of the city's haunted, blood-drenched
past, until they reach their final destination. The infamous, timeless brothel, La Maison des Plaisirs, (The House of
Pleasures), welcomes them with open doors to tread the same paths as the most powerful and notorious figures throughout the
history of the city. Once inside, they meet The Mistress, descendant of the most powerful voodoo queen
ever known, and watcher and gatekeeper over this hedonistic domain. She will tempt them to sample the pleasures her mysterious
world provides, leading them down dark, winding corridors to rooms where they can choose to experience their darkest desires…
and their fateful consequences. Three award-winning female voices in horror gather to bring you six chilling
tales of flesh and fear that explore the dark side of the human heart, the power of desire, and the weakness of the soul.

The ultimate goal with "Mistresses of Horror" is for it to lead to a series of popular,
memorable sequels and spin offs that could serve as a launching pad for other up-and-coming female genre writers and directors
as well as a spotlight for already established stars, with thus increasing and highlighting the role of women in the
genre.
"Mistresses of Horror" weaves tales that are diverse, dark, and disturbing, can titillate and
terrify audiences both male and female, and can combine to create what will soon become a staple series in the genre.
