If you've got an Xbox but haven't gotten busy with Xbox live and the various online services it offers, then Microsoft has come up with another reason to get you on board.

It has recently signed up a number of big names to direct a series of short horror films designed to be downloaded or streamed direct from the service to your television in 26 countries around the world.

Included in the line up are Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen), Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw trilogy) and Andrew Douglas (Amityville Horror).

Peter Safran, CEO of Safran Digital Group who is working with Microsoft to make this happen said that the filmmakers will get complete creative control over production, citing it as a good opportunity for them to flex their creative muscles.

The flicks will be available free of charge from this Autumn, more details on the line-up from the link below. - Paul Lester
