All
right you werewolf freaks, I know you're out there because I'm one of you.
You foam at the mouth for any werewolf related news you can get your
claws...er, I mean hands on, today is your lucky day, because I've got
some great news coming your way, read on!
Writer/Director
Randy Fabert (Psycho Killer) is hard at work in pre-production, prepping
his new werewolf thriller,Autumn Moon from Skylar Phoenix Productions. Fabert
himself stated that he hopes Autumn Moon will be "the most violent
werewolf movie ever made." I don't know about anyone else, but that
description has me very excited about this project. The film is due to
shoot this fall, in and around Cincinnati, Ohio.
Fabert,
a fan of great werewolf films such as (An American Werewolf in London, The
Howling,
and The Wolf Man), says he wanted to make an old school werewolf film but
update it to be extremely violent and gory. He feels that writer Michael
Spivey and himself have captured the extreme violence a werewolf would cause.
Having read the screenplay for Autumn Moonmyself, I would
completely agree.
The
screenplay was written by Michael Spivey and Randy Fabert from an original
story by Randy Fabert. It is produced by Randy Fabert, Joe
Kidd, Thomas Humbach, Iabou Windimere, Michael Spivey, and Co-producers are
Aaron Martin and Sheila Mudd Baker.
The
werewolf make-up effects will be created by Randy Fabert's Postmortem EFX
Studio.
The
cast includes: Joe Kidd (That's What She Said), Nathan Grauwelman (Abraham
Lincoln vs Zombies),
Iabou Windimere, Jocelyn Tanis (The Medal), Larry Combs,
Gerri Sutyak (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Sonny Burnette
(Zombies R Friends),
and Randy Fabert (Psycho Killer). More cast announcements as they
come.
Plot
Synopsis:
Pulp
writer Michael Renee Allen thought the house on the edge of the woods would be
the perfect place to write his next novel. He soon finds that the forest has
more to offer than just fresh air and a nice view. Something unspeakable
is stalking the forest. A cunning force of pure evil that hunts by night,
painting the forest with blood.
Filmmaker
Randy Fabert grew up loving the classic Universal Monster movies. At the
age of 10, he made his first horror movie and hasn't stopped since. After
seeing An American Werewolf in London in 1981, he fell in love with the
artistry of Rick Baker and decided he wanted to make monsters for his movies
and took up sculpting his own creations. His first filmPsycho Killer (2011) was well
received and will be playing at several film festivals this fall.

everyone involved. This is one film that I am extremely
