Five and a half months have passed since the trailer was released for Death Rider in the House of Vampires, musician Glenn Danzig's second directorial effort – following the infamous 2019 horror anthology Verotika (watch it HERE). Now the Danzig fan page 7th House has revealed when the film is going to start making its way out into the world: according to them, Death Rider in the House of Vampires "will open across the U.S. at select theatres on August 27th".
If you can't wait the remaining month for that release, 7th House was also able to confirm that there will be advance screenings in Las Vegas and Los Angeles one week earlier.
Scripted by Danzig, who also composed the score, Death Rider in the House of Vampires is a Spaghetti Western where every single character is a vampire. The story centers on
the Death Rider, who travels to the desert Vampire Sanctuary ruled by Count Holliday. The price of admission… one untouched virgin.
The film was produced by James Cullen Bressack and stars Devon Sawa as the Death Rider, Julian Sands as Count Holliday, Kim Director as Carmilla Joe, Eli Roth as Drac Cassidy, Ashley Wisdom as Mina Belle, Victor DiMattia as Kid Vlad, Danny Trejo as Bela Latigo, and Danzig as vampire gunslinger Bad Bathory. The Wrap got the first look at the trailer and hears that the movie is also going to feature "lots of cool surprise cameos".
While I am interested in seeing how Death Rider in the House of Vampires has turned out, I'm not going into this one with high expectations. I recently got around to giving a chance to Verotika, which I've heard that audiences had fun laughing at during theatrical screenings, but trying to watch it at home proved to be a painful experience.
