An Indepth Interview With Full Moon’s Owner Charles Band

When it comes to the horror genre, well any genre for that matter, you won’t find any filmmaker as prolific as Charles Band, owner of Full Moon Features. With over 333 titles under his belt (yes you read that right) the man is a legend! Behind movies like Castle Freak, and franchises like Puppet Master, Subspecies, and Demonic Toys, Band is busy with new projects like the Barbie and Kendra movie series filmed during the lockdown. I sat down to talk with Band, who is as nice a guy as you want to meet, to talk about Halloween, his past, his films, and the official Full Moon site where you can learn more about Charles and his projects, watch movies and find all sorts of goodies including a ton of awesome merchandise in the Full Moon store. Horror Fuel: “I need to confess, I’m a huge fan. I grew up on Full Moon and your movies. You’ve been involved with

The Owners – Starring Maisie Williams – Slashes Its Way Onto Blu-ray And DVD

“Game of Thrones” actress Maisie Williams stars in co-writer-director Julius Berg‘s (The Forest) horror-thriller The Owners, coming to Blu-ray and DVD. In The Owners, set in the 1990s, a group of friends thinks they have found the perfect easy score – an empty house with a safe full of cash. But when the elderly couple that lives there comes home early the tables are suddenly turned. As a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues the would-be thieves are left to fight to save themselves from a nightmare they could never have imagined. Williams stars alongside Sylvester McCoy, Jake Curran, Ian Kenny, Andrew Ellis, and Rita Tushingham. Berg co-wrote the script with Matthieu Gompel.

Writing/Directing Duo Ruckus And Lane Skye Discuss ‘The Devil To Pay’

With the release of the southern gothic thriller The Devil to Pay, I sat down with the husband and wife writing, directing, and producing duo Ruckus and Lane Skye to talk about the film and their writing process. The Devil to Pay centers on an Appalachian woman named Lemon (Danielle Deadwyler) who must fight to save herself, her son, and her home after her husband disappears and a powerful family demands her husband’s debt be paid, or else. Horror Fuel: “I love the location you chose for your film. There’s just something about the mountains. And they also seem sort of like a character in the film. It’s great cinematography. How did you go about capturing that?” Ruckus: “We shot in Hiawassee, Georgia, about two hours north of Atlanta. It’s actually a pretty town. We had to erase some houses and powerlines out of the footage. It’s a little movie magic.” Lane:” We had a guy come in and do

Interview with Author, Illustrator, Award Nominee, Greg Chapman

After reviewing both Bleak Precision and The Sublime Darkness, I thought it was definitely time to interview Greg Chapman. Let me tell you, this guy is not only a great author and fantastic illustrator, but he is out there working hard to push writing and horror into the limelight! He has an impressive and extremely diverse catalogue and I was very happy that he agreed to answer some questions about how his horror-filled mind works. (Horror Fuel) You have such a variety of work and a large collection of that work. Novels, novellas, short stories, graphic novels, do you approach the different styles differently? What do you get from each style? (Greg Chapman) Great question Greg. I approach everything I write differently each time. Short stories (which ironically, I find the most challenging), tend to come to me at the most unforeseen moments and I usually write a short story when I an image or scenario or even a word

Franchise Star Judah Lewis talks ‘The Babysitter: Killer Queen’ In Our Interview

In 2017, Judah Lewis faced off against a group of satanic killer teens in The Babysitter. Now he’s back for another round of blood-drenched fun in The Babysitter 2: Killer Queen which has just been unleashed on Netflix. I got the chance to talk with Judah about both the original and the sequel. We discussed the challenges of being a young actor in his everyday life, filming the movies, and much more. Check out our interview. The Babysitter: Killer Queen picks up two years after the events of the first film. Lewis stars as Cole who survived the killer blood cult the first time around. Just when you think that high school couldn’t get any worse, the cult is back from the dead and they still have their sights set on Cole. Lewis stars alongside Bella Thorne, Hana Mae Lee, and Robbie Amell in the McG directed film. Emily Alyn Lind, Jenna Ortega, Andrew Bachelor, and Leslie Bibb co-star along

Interview With Author/Editor Lee Murray: Her Upcoming Book, Feeling Like An Outsider, And Her Love Of Horror

I reviewed a collection of short stories by author Lee Murray a while ago. It is a collection of stories that has stayed with me and so I was thrilled to hear from Murray again recently. This time, Murray, along with Geneve Flynn, is the editor of Black Cranes: Tales of Unquiet Women which comes out on September 26. This book promises to be an incredible collection of stories focused on racial traditions and roles, being an “outsider” and — of course — horror! “As haunting and versatile as the Chinese erhu, the stories in Black Cranes pluck and bow the strings of the Southeast Asian experience with insightful depth and resonance.” —Tori Eldridge, author of the acclaimed Lily Wong novels, The Ninja Daughter and The Ninja’s Blade. “This anthology has a power to it. An instant classic.” —Nightmare Feed. Almond-eyed celestial, the filial daughter, the perfect wife. Quiet, submissive, demure. In Black Cranes: Tales of Unquiet Women, Southeast Asian

Sylvester McCoy Takes Us Inside ‘The Owners’ In An Interview

Sylvester McCoy is a name we should all know, between his roles in The Hobbit franchise and for his role as The Doctor in “Dr. Who” from 1987 to 1989. McCoy actually plays another doctor in the soon to be released horror film The Owners. That’s what we are here to talk about. The Owners stars McCoy alongside “Game of Thrones” actress Maisie Williams, Rita Tushingham, Jake Curran, Ian Kenny, and Andrew Ellis. In the brutal movie, a trio of young burglars enters the home of an older couple, not knowing that script is about to get flipped on them. The film is non-stop action, twisted, and definitely demented, in the best possible way. I sat down with McCoy to find out more about The Owners. This was our conversation. Horror Fuel: “What can you tell our readers about your role as Dr. Huggins, from your point of view.” Sylvester McCoy: “Well, he is a man who loves his wife

‘Z’ Director Brandon Christenson Talks Terror & Imaginary Friends In Our Interview

One of the best indie horror films of 2020 is writer-director Brandon Christenson‘s Z which premiered on Shudder earlier this year. The film, which we scored as a 5 out of 5 in our review, is haunting and downright unnerving. Of course, when I had the opportunity to pick Christenson’s brain I couldn’t resist. The film, co-written by Colin Minihan, follows a family whose son has become dangerous. He blames everything on his invisible friend Z, but it doesn’t take long for Elizabeth, the mother (Keegan Connor Tracy), to come to the realization that Z may very well be real. Once she realizes that her son is being influenced by a dark entity she reaches out to a psychiatrist played by Stephen McHattie, leading it to be revealed that she’s faced the entity before. Christenson made waves in the genre before Z was released with his 2017 breakout film Still/Born which follows a new mother who lost one of her
