Heads up creature fiends. William Winckler (THE DOUBLE-D AVENGER) is looking to revisit the grandeur of Frankenstein’s monster. Sure he’s better known for camp, but he’s definitely taking the new project seriously:
Nobody has done an honest-to-goodness homage to classic black-and-white horror movies. Those films are mocked or parodied in big-budget adventures like VAN HELSING, but no modern producer has attempted to recapture the heart, soul and style of the classic monster films. We’re changing that: We’re going to give horror fans the type of serious monster picture that used to be explored at length in magazines like Famous Monsters of Filmland.
Sounds good to me. Plus he’s got a line up of special appearances that any genre fan will love, including Lloyd Kaufman of Troma, Playboy tastycake Carla Harvey and (drumroll please) Cyberspace Adult Video Review Starlet of the Year Selena Silver.
Even better news is the presence of FX artists Rich Knight and Rufus Hearn, whose credits include BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, SPIDER-MAN and MEN IN BLACK. They will tackle Frank and any other famous monsters that are called into play.
You can bet we’ll bring you more updates on this puppy as it becomes available.
