The post Until There Is One Launches Indiegogo Campaign To Help Break Guinness World Record For Most Kills appeared first on Horror Asylum.

Hannah Fierman and Douglas Tait have both played the killers in horror films, as Fierman is best known for playing Lily the succubus in the horror anthology V/H/S and the spin-off Siren, while Tait has worn the masks of both Jason Voorhees (in the end of Freddy vs. Jason) and Michael Myers (for stunts in Halloween Kills). Now, they’re facing off with a masked killer in the horror film Final Act, which is currently filming at the historic Ritz Theater and other locations in Scranton, Pennsylvania. As the movie makes its way through production, a handful of first-look images have made their way online and can be seen at the bottom of this article.

A co-production between Babe Entertainment, Cannon Fire Productions, and Millman Productions, Final Act concerns paranormal investigators looking into the dark past of a historic theater who find themselves stalked by a mysterious, masked pickaxe killer.

Actress and influencer Avaryana Rose (The Caretaker) has joined Hannah Fierman (V/H/S), Douglas Tait (Teen Wolf), and Vincent M. Ward (The Walking Dead) in indie horror-thriller Final Act, which is filming at the Ritz Theater and other locations in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

The film follows paranormal investigators looking into the dark past of a historic theater who find themselves stalked by a mysterious, masked pickaxe killer.

The film also stars Tristan Green, Cal Tolentino, Sionne Elise, Rosie Dean, Julian Ford, Ashlyn Johnson, and Ben Stobber. Scranton’s own “Chef Von” (Ryan Von Smith) of Gordon Ramsay’s Next Level Chef makes a cameo.

Michael Su (Bloodthirst) directs Final Act, working from a screenplay by Rose, Green, and Brandon Slagle. Producers are Rob Adkirson (Spirit Springs), Robert Savakinus (Hell House LLC: Lineage), and Jeff Miller (Popeye the Slayer Man). Pic is a co-production between Babe Entertainment, Cannon Fire Productions, and Millman Productions.

The Hellboy 2019 episode of What Happened to This Horror Movie? was Written and Edited by Jaime Vasquez, Narrated by Tyler Nichols, Produced by John Fallon and Andrew Hatfield, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

After Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman helped build a loyal fan base with the first two Hellboy films, rebooting the franchise seemed like the next logical step. At least to the studio. Moving forward without the fans’ blessing must’ve conjured up some evil energy, as the production was plagued with so many issues like lightning-fast casting changes, social media backlash, on-set tensions, a creatively stifled director, and a disastrous release, among other nightmares. Break out your “troubled production” bingo card and start crossing off the boxes. This is what happened to Hellboy (2019).

In 1994, artist Mike Mignola sold his prized creation, Hellboy, to Dark Horse Comics. Hellboy wasn’t your average friendly neighborhood superhero. He...

American actor Tony Todd, known for his terrifying performance as the hook-handed, fur coat-donning ghost in the “Candyman” horror franchise, as well as his work on “Star Trek: The New Generation” and “Deep Space Nine,” passed away at his home in Marina Del Rey, California on Wednesday, November 6. He was 69.

The news was confirmed by Deadline and Variety and later confirmed by IndieWire. No cause of death has been revealed.

Todd was born in Washington D.C. on December 4, 1954. He grew up in Hartford, Connecticut and was an alumnus of the Artists Collective, Inc. formed there to promote the art and culture of the African diaspora. He attended college at the University of Connecticut, then went on to study theater at the Eugene O’Neill National Actors Theatre Institute in Waterford and later the Trinity Repertory Company in Providence, Rhode Island.

In his over 40-year career, Todd would work with the likes of Oliver Stone,...

Tait takes a seat in the director’s chair for the upcoming Angel Baby, being billed as a “psychological thriller” feature film.

"I wonder who lived here before us?" Quiver Distribution has released an official trailer for an indie horror thriller titled Angel Baby, marking the directorial debut of actor / filmmaker Douglas Tait. It's set to open in December this fall - available on VOD right away. Val, a loving wife, and her husband Justin move to a remote cabin to heal from the sudden death of their unborn twins and get a fresh start. Soon she senses an evil presence. After her best friend comes to check on her, secrets begin to unravel. A mysterious neighbor comes searching for the truth, and with the help of the owner of the local bar she gains the strength she needs to face what is tormenting her peace. This all sounds strange.

"Halloween Kills" might be one of the weaker installments in the long-running "Halloween" franchise, but one of its stars is anything but. The new book "Halloween: The Official Making of Halloween, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends" includes a whole bunch of great behind-the-scenes stories about the new trilogy's production, including one about "Halloween Kills" actor Kyle Richards. Richards, a former child actress who is perhaps now best known as a castmate on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," played Michael Myers survivor Lindsey in the recent David Gordon Green movie (a role she originated in the 1978 classic), and apparently went above and beyond when it came to the film's stunt scenes.

In one scene, according to Abbie Bernstein's book, Richards was tasked with smacking the seemingly invincible killer known as The Shape with a sack of foam meant to be a stand-in for a bag of bricks. The foam...

John Carpenter surprises Halloween fans at convention, reuniting with original cast members P.J. Soles and Nancy Loomis. Carpenter reflects on Halloween as his best directing experience, calling it easy and fun to make. Despite Jamie Lee Curtis saying she's done with the character, Halloween franchise may not be completely finished, hints Jason Blum.

Halloween fans in attendance at this weekend's H45: 45 Years of Terror convention got a special treat yesterday. John Carpenter, who directed the 1978 slasher that launched numerous sequels and reboots, made a surprise appearance that reunited him with some of the original film's cast. While final girl Jamie Lee Curtis was not in attendance, Carpenter did link up with P.J. Soles and Nancy Loomis, who portrayed Lynda and Annie, respectively. In a social media video posted by Douglas Tait, Carpenter is seen next to Nick Castle, who played the iconic boogeyman in the original film and Blumhouse's trilogy.

John Carpenter, the director of Halloween, had a surprise reunion with cast members from the original movie at a convention in Pasadena. A video taken by Halloween Kills performer Douglas Tait shows Carpenter posing for a photo with "The Shape" actor Nick Castle. Carpenter also visited P.J. Soles and Nancy Loomis, among others, before participating in a panel.

Halloween director John Carpenter had a surprise reunion with cast members from the original movie. The 1978 movie follows the havoc that is wreaked when murderer Michael Myers escapes from a sanitarium and begins stalking the streets of Haddonfield, Illinois, on Halloween night. After becoming one of the most profitable independent movies of all time, Halloween launched a franchise that now includes 13 movies. In addition to directing the original, Carpenter also co-wrote the screenplay and composed the now iconic Halloween score.

On Instagram, Halloween Kills performer Douglas Tait shared a video of a...

In recent years there’s been something of a surge in anthology movies, not your traditional anthology mind you, no, many new anthologies are actually made up of existing thematically connected shorts brought together with, oftentimes, a new wraparound filmed to tie these tales to each other. Films like Zombieworld and Galaxy of Horrors pioneered this type of filmmaking and in the five or so years that followed we’ve had plenty of other examples. And now comes a sci-fi take on the anthology film, Battle in Space: The Armada Attacks.

Made up of six shorts, Battle in Space‘s opener tells the story of how humanity spread across the universe after the discovery of hyper speed.

"Mission control: we have a critical situation!" Uncork'd has unveiled an official trailer for an anthology film featuring a series of sci-fi shorts called Battle in Space - The Armada Attacks. This plays like a low-budget, B-movie collection of space battle stories and despite the low quality, it still looks rather fun. In 2420, after aliens and powerful space wizards enslaved human villages, a group of rebels organize a counter attack against their alien overlords by piloting fully loaded spaceships. Acclaimed actor Doug Jones stars in this as an alien, and the cast also includes Erik Palladino, Douglas Tait, Trip Hope, Jordu Schell, Linda Weinrib, Toby Rawal, Tom Farrah, Tom Madden, Declan Churchill Carter, Alexis Watt, and Philip Cristian Classen. I really wasn't expecting much from this, but I will admit there's some cool shots in this trailer that make me curious. Maybe there's some cool sci-fi stories hidden in here?...

After apprehending vicious crime syndicate boss Hades (the always awesome Robert Lasardo), LA Swat team leader Vernon (Grieco) and his team are transporting him to his final location – county lock-up. However Vernon and his team find themselves trapped inside of the county detention centre, the world burning around them as an alien invasion engulfs Los Angeles. With no communication with the outside world Vernon, his team, And crime boss Hades, must band together to escape the bloodthirsty alien forces attacking them.

"The vampires from the sky. They're here for blood!" Gravitas Ventures has released an official trailer for an indie action thriller sci-fi alien invasion movie called Attack of the Unknown. Not only are there some gnarly aliens in this, but the group gets trapped inside of a building with no way to communicate to the outside and no idea what is really going on anyway. A Swat team transporting a vicious crime syndicate boss must fight their way out of a county detention center during a catastrophic alien invasion. Attack of the Unknown stars Richard Grieco, Tara Reid, Robert Lasardo, Tania Fox, Jolene Andersen, and Douglas Tait. This looks exactly like the kind of random sci-fi B-movie you'd find in the back of a rental shop, and watch over & over until the tape wears out. Either you'll hate it or think it looks ridiculously fun. Here's the official trailer (+ two...

Pretty much my whole reason for giving The Final Wish a watch was because Lin Shaye stars in it. She is a seal of approval for me and I know that even if the movie disappoints, then I will at least see a good performance from the veteran actress. That said, this also features Tony Todd, another reliable horror icon and had some decent-looking poster artwork, so it had at least a few things going for it.

The Final Wish has a simple concept. After his Dad dies, a man (Michael Welch) heads back to the place he grew up to see his Mum (Shaye). While he is there he discovers a mysterious...

In this great sci-fi short film by Will Welles, an abandoned robot awakens alone in a junkyard. He travels home, to his creator's ranch, to see if the love he feels is returned.

Adding a fresh angle to a classic storyline, Welles’ 18-minute film combines the sprawling landscapes of the Western, with some futuristic practical FX work, to create a soulful short that orbits around a truly odd couple.

The short film stars Rhys Coiro & Douglas Tait.

Check out the short below:

"How does a robot get drunk? How does a robot shave?" Who's up for some robot love? Rust in Peace is a fun short film written & directed by Will Welles. After playing at festivals over the last year, the 17-minute film is now available to watch online in full. The short is about an abandoned robot that awakes alone in a junkyard. He travels home, to his creator's ranch, to learn if the love he feels is returned. "The heart of the film is a breakup story," Welles reveals. "The kind of breakup where you have a big fight, think its over, then the next day your partner is in the kitchen making eggs like nothing is wrong." The short stars Rhys Coiro & Douglas Tait. With a clunky practical robot that walks and talks, and wonders if anyone still loves him. Thanks to Short of the Week for the tip on this film.

The popular Friday the 13th fan film Never Hike Alone is becoming a web series, and the crowdfunding campaign for the next installment is now live. To celebrate Friday the 13th, the team behind Never Hike Alone has announced their plans to continue the series with a prequel and three sequels. In a campaign video for the next installment Never Hike in the Snow, writer and director Vincente Disanti explains Womp Stomp Films' next steps for the series, describing each of the upcoming installments as short films lasting 20-30 minutes long. You can take a look at the video below.

Never Hike in the Snow is described as a prequel to Never Hike Alone, taking place three months before the events of the fan film. As the title suggests, it's set during the winter time, finally bringing Jason Voorhees into the snow. It follows the strange disappearance of Crystal Lake resident Mark Hill,...

Since Mike Mignola created Hellboy in 1993, he has been a fan favorite character, growing his own mini-universe of characters and spinoff series. Mainstream audiences certainly got to know him in a pair of features from director Guillermo Del Toro, who put his own spin on the world. Over the last decade, Del Toro and star Ron Perlman talked about a third film but one thing or another kept getting in the way. Then, Boom! founder Andrew Cosby and Mignola got to work on a script and Del Toro walked, followed by Perlman so it morphed into a full-fledged reboot.

Did we need a reboot? No. Did we need this film at all? Probably not and the poor box office has shut the doorway to Hell for subsequent installments. Perhaps he works best in print with Mignola being the sole voice.

David Harbour is having a moment. This month he had...

I don't think any of us will be quite surprised by this news, but all the same, here it is. Today we have word via Stranger Things and Black Widow star David Harbour that, go figure, there is no plan for a sequel to director Neil Marshall's recent reboot of Mike Mignola's classic comic book character Hellboy.

David Harbour admits this.

"I don't think there'll be much of a light. There's a lot of people who reach out to me who really loved it and really enjoyed the new take and were just happy to see him back on the screen, but I know in the culture at large, I don't think it was very well received."

He continues.

"I don't think it made a lot of money. I don't really keep up with those things too much, to be honest, but I don't think the perception was that it was a hit,...

From his early credit as Frankenstein in Sabrina the Teenage Witch to his recent role as Gruagach in the new Hellboy movie, Douglas Tait has brought a myriad of monsters, creatures, and iconic characters to life on screen, often while performing with imaginative makeup effects, jaw-dropping prosthetics, and incredible costumes. To celebrate the release of the new Hellboy, we caught up with Tait in our latest Q&A feature to discuss playing the vengeful boar character, and he also reflects on meeting legendary practical effects guru Stan Winston on the set of Zathura and playing Jason Voorhees in the ending of Freddy vs. Jason.

[Note: With the film finally released in the UK, under the new title of Resurrection of Evil, here’s a re-posting of my review of Havenhurst]

Jackie (Benz), a troubled young woman struggling with addiction, is released from rehab and given a second chance with a new job and a furnished apartment at Havenhurst. Guilt-ridden over the loss of her 8-year-old daughter, Jackie is quickly drawn into the mysteries of Havenhurst, in particular the disappearance of apartment 1006′s previous lost soul, a young woman (Harris) she befriended in rehab who vanished without a trace. Aided by a hardened New York police detective (Stamberg) and a lonely foster child (Shouse) who lives under the sadistic shadow of her caretakers, Jackie must not only battle her inner demons… but the very real ones that live within the walls of Havenhurst.

Production has completed for the upcoming horror film Tales of Frankenstein. Read the official details below.

From The Press Release

Production has just wrapped in Los Angeles on the horror film "Tales of Frankenstein," starring Bruce Lee's "Game of Death's" Mel Novak and "Wolverine" creator Len Wein in his final film.

"I was lucky enough to know Len well enough to call him a friend. He was a great guy, a fantastic writer and actor and can never be replaced," said Novak.

This film has an Indiegogo campaign for post-production costs with lots of great perks. Please help the campaign by clicking here.

2018 marks the 200th Anniversary of Mary Shelley’s classic novel “Frankenstein,” so the goal of the film is to be released at that time to coincide with this momentous anniversary. This much-anticipated project is based upon four of writer-director Donald F.

Production has just wrapped in Los Angeles on the horror film Tales of Frankenstein, starring Game of Death’s Mel Novak and Wolverine creator Len Wein in his final film. The movie is based upon four of writer-director Donald F. Glut’s (The Empire Strikes Back novel) short stories published in his book of the same name:

“My Creation, My Beloved,” (a deformed descendant of Victor Frankenstein creates the perfect man and woman), “Crawler from the Grave,” (another Frankenstein descendant’s disembodied, plague-infected arm returns from the grave for revenge), “Madhouse of Death” (a private detective winds up in an old dark house filled with loonies…and a gorilla) and “Dr. Karnstein’s Creation,” (a mad doctor creates a monster in vampire-haunted Transylvania – with gruesomely unexpected results).

Tales of Frankenstein also stars Jerry Lacy (TV’s Dark Shadows), Ann Robinson (War of the Worlds), Beverly Washburn (Old Yeller), John Blyth Barrymore,...
