Danzig Sinks His Teeth Into New Vampire Speghetti Western

Musician Glenn Danzig of Misfits has been staying between reunion shows and his new projects, a long-awaited album of Elvis Presley covers and a movie. That’s right Danzig is writing and directing his own film. Get this, it’s a “vampire Spaghetti Western”! A new post on Danzig’s official Facebook page today mentioned both projects. We know it’s a Spaghetti Western with Danzig in the director’s chair, and we know casting will soon begin. At this time that’s all that we know about the mysterious film. Don’t get his projects confused. Danzig’s vampire western is not the same project announced last year, an anthology based on his comic series Verotik.

American Gods’ Orlando Jones Will Face ‘Dark Forces’ In Upcoming Horror Film

Today, Lexicon announced that they have cast actor Orlando Jones in Dark Forces, the third film from The Timber director Anthony O’Brien who co-wrote the script along with Lexicon co-founders and producers Mark Mathias (Doubting Thomas) and Justin Foia (Point Defiance). In Dark Forces, “While recovering from brain surgery at a rehabilitation center, acclaimed monster movie director Jerry Graves (Jones) becomes haunted by the ghastly creatures and grisly scenes of his own horror films.” It’s a huge honor to be directing Dark Forces in and of itself, but to have Orlando Jones as the lead is beyond thrilling,” says O’Brien. “Building the film around him was the easiest decision I could make. Orlando’s multi-talented and intellectually stimulating performances speak for themselves; his turn as ‘Mr. Nancy’ on STARZ’ American Gods provides a perfect example of this. His contribution to DARK FORCES will allow the audience to experience a thoughtful energy and voice that old (and new) fans of the genre

Professor Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) is teachin’ down China way when he finds himself books deep in the machinations of a cult of ass-ugly vampires adorned in golden half-masks and their army of zombie slaves…all under the control of a disguised count Dracula.

The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires is flat out fright flick brilliance, and contains a putrid plethora of astoundingly entertaining elements that’ll have fang bang lovers grinnin’ from ear to eerie ear! Let’s start with the gorgeous lurid colors on display; of which the beginning sequence where the Priest, Kah (Shen Chan), visits Dracula (John Forbes-Robertson…standing in for the noticeably absent Christopher Lee) in his castle in Transylvania to beg his help

Movie Review: The Haunting of Sharon Tate (2019)

As The Haunting of Sharon Tate begins, the titular character (Hilary Duff) relates to an unseen interviewer that she has been having visions of her own demise…and we just know how this is going to go…because, you know, that shit actually happened…well, maybe not the visions…anyway… So long story short; Tate and her pals stylist Jay Sebring (Jonathan Bennett), coffee heiress Abigail Folger (Lydia Hearst), and European Lothario Wojciech Frykowski (Pawel Szajda)…but not Tate’s husband; world class pedo and philanderer Roman Polanski…take up residence at a rented home where they shoot the shit, play some occult board game (which looks totally rad as all fuck bee tee dubs), and get menaced superficially by some weirdos…well superficially at first, because we all know that Chuck Manson and the fam are going to be turning up the heat and the murder biz right quick! The bottom line with a flick like this is; just how tacky will the production be? I mean,

‘The Dead Don’t Die’ Coming To Theaters This Summer With A Star Studded Cast

Jim Jarmusch‘s The Dead Don’t Die is being described as having “the greatest zombie cast ever disassembled” and man, are they right! Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Iggy Pop, Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones, Selena Gomez, Tom Waits, RZA, Sara Driver, Rosie Perez, and Carol Kane are just some of the cast. Unlike Zombieland, Murray will not be among the undead. This time, Murray will be playing a police officer along with Driver and Sevigny. Sevigny had this to say about the film recently: His vampire picture was more dramatic and romantic. The Dead Don’t Die is more in the vain of a comedy. It’s Adam Driver and Bill Murray and myself, and a whole cast of characters. He refuses to say that it’s social commentary, but zombie pictures often are, and it’s pretty easy to ascertain what he would be speaking on. There’s an environmental catastrophe that sets this thing off.” Jarmusch is the
