I’m handing out some congratulatory kudos today to another horror novel writer whose book has just been optioned to be transformed into a movie. The book: DREG. The author: Terry M. West. The optioning company: Media Blasters.
Apparently, DREG is an old-fashioned werewolf tale. Sounds good to me. Here’s the summation of the plot: 1940. Louisiana. Madness thrives in the Pointe au Chien and a dark legacy is embraced. A bayou boy is baptized in city blood and a pack as old as time rises from the swamps. A man beast escapes his shackles, and the hunt begins…A hunt that will last for decades. A hunt fueled by the moon. For when the moon is full, the beast rises…and the blood flows…
Pretty creative description. I’m intrigued. It helps knowing the Mr. West is now becoming quite a pillar within the genre. He’s written, directed, and acted in a wide range of horror flicks from FLESH FOR THE BEAST to BLOOD SHED. Regarding his latest novel, here’s what he had to say: “I am very excited about seeing DREG finally brought to life on the screen. DREG is ambitious, and [Media Blaster] has encouraged me to adapt the screenplay balls to the walls. It’s going to be fun. DREG is a weird hybrid of fairy tale, good old-fashioned horror and suspense”
DREG, DREG, DREG, he can’t seem to stop saying it and now I can’t either. Oh well. At least the adaptation to the big screen should go fairly smooth with West being the one to work on the screenplay. I’ll keep my eyes open for more on DREG as it arises.
