Actors Cara Gee And Richard De Klerk Talk About The Indie Thriller ‘Alone Wolf’

Cara Gee (Call of the Wild) and Richard de Klerk (“Strange Empire”), stars of the indie film Alone Wolf sat down with me to discuss their roles in the film, their other projects, including Cara’s role on the Syfy series “The Expanse”, and more. In Alone Wolf, Jonathan (Richard de Klerk) lives sealed in his house. The walls covered in plastic and windows wrapped in paper. He does not suffer from agoraphobia, but a willful rejection of the outside world. His life changes when he meets a girl named Town (Cara Gee). Jonathan attempts to cut himself off from the world, but the world manages to draw him closer until he cannot help but let it. Horror Fuel: “What is it like to be a real couple, playing a couple in a film, like in Alone Wolf?” Cara Gee: “It’s wonderful.” Richard de Klerk: “It’s a dream. We actually met while playing husband and wife on a TV show years

“The Exorcist” Star In Talks To Join ‘Callback’

HorrorScreams VideoVault and FoxTrot Productions have announced that a very well known face from the classic horror The Exorcist (1973) is in talks to join the cast of Callback. Callback is a female-driven horror so Eileen Dietz (The Exorcist, The Assent) would be a welcome addition to the cast, which already includes Jennifer Nangle (Malvolia: The Queen Of Screams, The Last Roommate) as Sonia and Jackie Falcon (Lethal Admirer, Lockdown) as Jessica. The involvement of Eileen Dietz is however dependent on the success of the Indiegogo campaign which is currently live. In order to guarantee Eileen’s casting in Callback, they will now need to reach the 2nd STRETCH GOAL which is set at $32,000. They are now calling for horror fans to help spread the word by sharing the Indiegogo campaign link and where possible making a donation to get some amazing perks which range from a signed Blu Ray or DVD to a producer credit on the film.

Daniel Kraus Discusses Co-Writing George A. Romero's Last Novel 'The Living Dead'

Daniel Kraus Discusses Co-Writing George A. Romero’s Last Novel ‘The Living Dead’

You don’t get more prolific in the zombie genre than writer-director George A. Romero. When you hear the word zombie, his name comes to mind. Sadly, we lost Romero when he passed away on July 16, 2017. But July 16 left behind several projects, including the half-written novel The Living Dead. Romero’s widow wanted to see the novel complete, so she reached out to best-selling novelist Daniel Kraus, the same author who co-wrote The Shape of Water with Guillermo del Toro. Now, after years of work, the novel is complete and soon to be released. I sat down with Kraus to talk about The Living Dead and the process of bringing George A. Romero’s final body of work to his fans and the world. Kraus has a long record of delivering brilliant novels, including Trollhunters, adapted for the Netflix series Scowler, Rotters, and so many more. He expressed how honored he was to co-write the novel, and I think he
