A couple weeks ago I let you in on a little project called SPLATTER, which comes to us from producer Roger Corman, director Joe Dante, and actor Corey Feldman. It’s a three-episode web series made exclusively for NETFLIX, but at the time we didn’t know much more than that. Finally, we got our hands on a synopsis and a bunch of behind-the-scenes stills.
“Splatter” is the haunting tale of rock-and-roll legend Johnny Splatter, a musical genius who accumulated as many hit records as he did enemies on his climb up the fame ladder. His sudden death, ruled a suicide, brings a small circle of professional parasites and hangers-on to his Hollywood Hills mansion for the reading of his last will and testament. But as his “freinmies” come to pick the bones clean, Johnny has returned for a deadly encore long after what they thought was his final curtain.
In a Corman-esque move, the legendary producer is opening up the creative direction of the series by asking the public to vote on the fate of its characters. The first episode of SPLATTER will launch on October 29, with the second installment scheduled for November 6 and the concluding episode slated for November 13. Here’s the official website where the show will air – for now you can check out a very brief teaser and a couple of behind-the-scenes videos featuring Corman and Dante.
