LOS ANGELES – September 12, 2006 - here! Networks, America's premium gay and lesbian television network, will be offering a heart-pounding mix of its quality programming this October featuring some of the hottest faces on television half-dressed and struggling to survive until the end credits. All these spooky specials lead up to the airing of four back-to-back episodes of the sexy supernatural soap opera "Dante's Cove."

October programming on here! will feature an array of films from acclaimed horror writer-director-producer David DeCoteau, including The Brotherhood IV: The Complex, the latest film in the helmer's Brotherhood franchise; The Sisterhood, where blood is the beverage of choice in a scantily-clad sorority house; Leeches!, in which the blood-sucking creatures are the new guys on campus; and Speed Demon, where hardcore bare-chested hunks grease each other's gears in order to move faster than their enemy.

"Looking at our extensive film library, we realized that we had all the makings for a really fun, frightening and eclectic festival designed specifically for the Halloween season," stated Paul Colichman, here!'s Founder and CEO.

In addition to the sexy scenes from DeCoteau, here! will be presenting Paul Etheredge-Ouzts' acclaimed HellBent, the first gay slasher flick, produced by Joseph Wolf, co-creator of horror classics Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Set during the elaborate and wildly fanciful West Hollywood Halloween Festival, and featuring authentic footage from the carnival, HellBent finds four sexy Angelinos heading out for a night surrounded by flamboyant costumes, beautiful people, drugs, music, dancing and, of course, sex. Little do they know that a cold-blooded killer has his eye set on them.

here!'s Halloween extravaganza culminates in four consecutive episodes of fan-favorite "Dante's Cove," the sexiest guilty pleasure on television. In this, the second season of the Gothic pleaser, the residents of the Hotel Dante, joined by a slew of newcomers, are forced to deal with issues brought to a boiling point at the end of season one: addiction, insanity, love, infidelity, coming out and breaking up. Add to that a dash of the occult and you have all the elements for what promises to be one of the hottest, sexiest and most suspenseful shows on TV.
