Eric “The Angry Viking” Erickson and I had an interesting conversation about his film Truth, becoming a werewolf, and his role in the upcoming spoof film Snake Outta Compton, which is drawing a lot of attention since its trailer was released last week. Horror Fuel: “On Instagram, where we first connected, you go under the title “The Angry Viking”. That’s a unique title. How did that name come to be?” Erickson: “I got that name when I was doing stand-up comedy. My act was a bit… loud. Ronnie Ray, one of my comedian friends, was hosting a show and after I finished my set he commented to the audience, “Now that’s one Angry #$%^$% Viking!” I liked it and kept the name… although I did clean up the language a bit.” Horror Fuel: “You do look a bit like a Viking.” Horror Fuel: “You appeared on Lucha Underground under The Angry Viking.

When the show’s director-producer David Fincher talked with Billboard recently about the show’s soundtrack and he revealed a bit of the plot of season 2.

The film was written by Kerry Fleming and Victor Miller (Friday the 13th), directed by Tom Holland (Child’s Play), and produced by Fleming and Amy Williams. After interviewing both Fleming and Miller, we could not wait to see the final film. That day has finally come. Earlier today, I sat back and pushed play with my fingers crossed that the film would be everything I had hoped for. Luckily, it was. In the beginning of the film, we witness Peter Harris (Luke Macfarlane) execute a woman he has kidnapped just as the police bust down his door. The girl’s identity will play a major part in the film later on. After serving time at a psychiatric hospital he is deemed cured by Dr. Evelyn Bauer (Tatum O’Neal) and released. However, the arresting officer Doyle Dechert, played by Micahel Madsen, is not convinced Peter is actually

It’s spring break, and a group of college kids are heading to a lake cabin that belonged to the uncle of one of their friends. The locale, known as Crazy Lake, doesn’t get its name from the wild parties that happen there. The name came about due to rumors that psychotic patients, who were subjected to government experiments, were disposed of in the lake. But maybe, just maybe, one of these maniacs didn’t meet such a watery fate. Perhaps this psycho is still out there, roaming the woods. If that’s the case, spring breakers should beware if they visit Crazy Lake, as they may become a part of its murderous lore. Jason Henne and Christopher Leto shared directorial duties on Crazy Lake, working from a script penned by Leto. The end product is pretty unremarkable and uninspired, as Leto has basically dusted off old tropes and cliches of slasher films gone by – more specifically the Friday the 13th franchise.
