Here at AITH we love ourselves a good ol’ fashioned horror anthology. Especially one that can meld comedy and horror so perfectly that we just sit back and have ourselves a good time. In the past several months we’ve been talking about a certain upcoming horror anthology that we’re hoping allows us to do just that. I’m of course talking about CHILLERAMA, which is coming our way from the mad minds of Adam Green, Joe Lynch, Adam Rifkin and Tim Sullivan.
Now our first article on CHILLERAMA came way back in August 2010 and here we are, well over a year later, and we’ve finally got a look at the trailer for this thing! Better late than never right? The trailer, in all it’s whacked out glory, can be found by scrolling directly below or by popping on over to our videos section. So what’ve we got with this new trailer? Exactly what you’d expect from a horror anthology with the titles WADZILLA, ZOM-B-MOVIE, I WAS A TEENAGE WEREBEAR and THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANKENSTEIN.
Directed by Adam Green, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANKENSTEIN reads: It’s a black and white movie about Hitler trying to create the perfect killing machine to win the war. The whole movie is in German, but star Joel David Moore, who’s playing ‘Adolf Hitler’ in the short, does not know German, so he’s making up his own gibberish through the whole movie, but his subtitles are correct.
Directed by Joe Lynch, ZOM B MOVIE reads: A zombie movie with a twist—they’re more like sex zombies than zombies that just want to eat you.
Directed by Adam Rifkin, WADZILLA reads: A spoof on 1950s monster movies, WADZILLA is about “a guy that goes to get his sperm count raised, and it creates one big sperm that attacks New York City”.
Directed by Tim Sullivan, I WAS A TEENAGE WEREBEAR reads: A musical and a spoof of Rebel Without a Cause, Grease and The Twilight Saga. It is set in 1962 and is about a “closeted kid who meets these other closeted kids, who when aroused turn into leather daddy werebears”.
So there you have it folks! Now that we’ve got a trailer you should be pretty prepared for CHILLERAMA. Now the question is when will you have a chance to check this one out? Luckily for you we’ve got the details on CHILLERAMA’s first tour! Check it:
