Last month we brought along the news that Katt Shea and Roger Corman were in the process of remaking Shea’s 1989 vampire melodrama DANCE OF THE DAMNED. (A film I had never heard of, incidentally.) Today brings us the news that it has cast its first lead.
Erik Fellows has gravitated to the role of a vampire who yearns to learn what it’s like to live in the daylight and ends up finding companionship with a suicidal stripper that he has taken hostage. Yeah, you know how that goes…
You’ll know this Fellows dude if you watched the 31 episodes of “Days of Our Lives” he appeared in this year. He also starred in MUSTANG SALLY’S HORROR HOUSE.
The film’s synopsis: A vampire follows his instincts to a strip joint where he focuses in on one of the performers. He picks her for his meal because she is contemplating suicide, but he wants to share her life before taking it, and during the course of the evening they discuss their differences, their fears, and their lifestyles. As the moment of truth approaches, she becomes less sure that she wants to die.
