We've been following the progress of writer/director/producer Jimmy Lee Combs' horror anthology TERROR TALES for a couple months now, watching as Combs gathers a cast of familiar faces from popular genre films. So far we've heard that TERROR TALES stars Lynn Lowry (THE CRAZIES), Jonathan Tiersten (SLEEPAWAY CAMP), and Laurene Landon (MANIAC COP), with Christopher Showerman as The Driver, the character who tells the tales of terror.
Now a new cast member has been announced: Liane Curtis, who you may recognize from CRITTERS 2 and GIRLFRIEND FROM HELL, has signed on to play the role of Kristen, who is abducted along with her husband and daughter by The Driver.
TERROR TALES is about
a husband who is abducted by a psychopath that gives the man the ride from hell, subjecting him to three horrific tales of the macabre – while his family is held captive in an attached cargo trailer.
The tales include one of a demon that takes a mother on a journey of self-discovery and reveals to her the horrifying truth behind her son's suicide.The next tale transpires in the '80s where a detective is hot on the trail of a serial killer known as The Sledgehammer who is terrorizing a video store owner and his wife. Years later, on the brink of the digital video revolution, the long standing video store is now on the verge of closing. However, bigger problems arise when the serial killer returns.
In the final tale, an evil deity is using the human body as a host to possess its victims. When the deity destroys one victim it jumps to another causing an epidemic of possessions being reported. Deception is ruled by evil as friends, family and strangers question their trust for one another.
Sounds like Curtis's character is in for a very uncomfortable ride in a cargo trailer. I've been a fan of CRITTERS 2 ever since it first came out and have always thought that Curtis gave a very endearing performance in that film, so it's great to hear that she'll be part of this movie that's being referred to as "THE EXPENDABLES of horror".
