It was just yesterday we ran a piece about guitarist and awesome hair-ambassador Slash being set to produce an adaptation of WAKE THE DEAD, a Frankenstein variation created by Steve Niles. Well, looks like his Slasher Films is a multitasking unit!

According to Deadline, Slash now has two more horror flicks setup: one called THEOREM, to be directed by Vincenzo Natali (CUBE, SPLICE)…the second called THE OTHER KINGDOM, with Philip Eisner (who wrote EVEN HORIZON, THE MUTANT CHRONICLES) set to direct his own script.

As the trade parses it, THEOREM is about a genius college professor who, trying to break down the genetic compound of an ancient artifact, discovers it’s a relic from hell and that he has unwittingly unlocked the equation for evil.

Pretty sick, no? If not, how you like this one:

THE OTHER KINGDOM finds the staff of a large metropolitan hospital battling for survival as an otherworldly epidemic turns people into savage paranormal killers.

Better or worse than the first?

Here’s a cool quote Slash gave regarding his own genre interests:

“The movie that really stands out for me is the original Omen with Gregory Peck and Lee Remick. Fantastic, dramatic horror that was scary as sin. It had just enough gross moments to establish that a certain nastiness was possible. It was a simple, great story, well directed. And I can remember as a kid seeing the original Night of the Living Dead and The Exorcist, on the same night. The Exorcist didn’t scare me that much, but Night of the Living Dead was really creepy. The moment that sticks with me was the little girl, with the spade and her mom. A lot of films from that period have moments that stick indelibly in your mind, and that’s what we want to do. It requires fleshed out characters you care about, twists and turns, psychological thriller dynamics and I need a villain, an iconic monster. Too many horror films leave your head as quickly as a pop song.”

MUTANT CHRONICLES hottie Devon Aoki!
