NEW YORK -- After Dark Films is producing the first horror films set for its 8 Films to Die For theatrical film series: "Faithless" and "Perkins' 14."

Stewart Hopewell's "Faithless" follows a young woman trying to escape an abusive past by moving to Atlanta, but discovers more cruelty awaits her. Craig Singer's "Perkins' 14," developed from a winning idea by Jeremy Donaldson in a February Massify.com pitch contest, is a killer thriller involving the arrest of a suspected murderer.

Hopewell and Tim Long are co-writing "Faithless," with Chris Milburn, Matthew Kuipers, Aimee Barth and Eryl Cochran Woodlief producing. Lane Shadgett is scripting "Perkins' 14," and winning pitchmeister Donaldson, Milburn and Kuipers will produce.

After Dark's Courtney Solomon, Laura Ivey and Stephanie Caleb will executive produce, with Beau J. Genot as co-producer on both films. The films will be shot consecutively beginning this month in Romania.
