I know you guys are aware of the upcoming horror anthology CHILLERAMA right? How can you not be? This is the first big genre anthology we’ve had coming our way in a while. Sure an anthology pops up here and there from time to time… but CHILLERAMA is looking like it’s going to take the cake!
Apparently Image Entertainment thinks so too because news breaking today has Image snatching up the rights to CHILLERAMA. Plans are for Image to pimp CHILLERAMA through a theatrical release and a possible ‘road show’ release this Fall followed by a DVD release and video-on-demand release at the end of the year.
Produced by ArieScope Pictures and in the spirit of classic “omnibus” films like Dead of Night, Tales From the Crypt, Creepshow and Twilight Zone: The Movie, with four vignettes that not only celebrate the golden age of B horror schlock but also nearly the entire history of horror cinema itself, CHILLERAMA offers something for every bad taste. With titles like “Wadzilla,” “I Was A Teenage Werebear,” The Diary of Anne Frankenstein,” and “Zom-B-Movie,” CHILLERAMA features appearances by Joel David Moore, Lin Shaye, Ray Wise, Kane Hodder, Eric Roberts, Kristina Klebe (below) and more cameos than one can (body)count. From the depraved minds of directors Adam Rifkin (Detroit Rock City, The Dark Backward), Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs, Driftwood), Adam Green (Hatchet, Frozen), and Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2, Knights of Badassdom), CHILLERAMA is a festival of gore, guts, goofiness and good times.
It’s the closing night at the last drive-in theater in America and Cecil B. Kaufman (Richard Riehle, Bridesmaids, Hatchet) has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons. Four films so rare that they have never been exhibited publicly on American soil until this very night! What could possibly go wrong?
Image Entertainment’s Chief Acquisition Officer Bill Bromiley had the following to say regarding the pick-up: “This title is a nightmare come true for anyone who loves horror films, twisted humor, and skilled film making. CHILLERAMA, and its foursome of fierce film makers, presents a bloody-good cinematic love letter to fans.”
Here’s hoping he’s right on the money with that! As soon as we hear about any kind of release date for CHILLERAMA, or any other goods that might spill our way, we’ll be sure to bring the news right to all of you!
