Fun with Frankie!

I don’t recall A Modern Prometheus featuring a gorilla…

There was never a gorilla in the classic novel. However, there is a comedy gorilla (aka a man in a suit) in an amusing film noir segment about a detective who finds himself trapped in the laboratory with the...

Production has just wrapped in Los Angeles on the horror film Tales of Frankenstein, starring Game of Death’s Mel Novak and Wolverine creator Len Wein in his final film. The movie is based upon four of writer-director Donald F. Glut’s (The Empire Strikes Back novel) short stories published in his book of the same name:

“My Creation, My Beloved,” (a deformed descendant of Victor Frankenstein creates the perfect man and woman), “Crawler from the Grave,” (another Frankenstein descendant’s disembodied, plague-infected arm returns from the grave for revenge), “Madhouse of Death” (a private detective winds up in an old dark house filled with loonies…and a gorilla) and “Dr. Karnstein’s Creation,” (a mad doctor creates a monster in vampire-haunted Transylvania – with gruesomely unexpected results).

Tales of Frankenstein also stars Jerry Lacy (TV’s Dark Shadows), Ann Robinson (War of the Worlds), Beverly Washburn (Old Yeller), John Blyth Barrymore,...

Afm 2013 came to a close yesterday, but we still have a few tales to tell from the huge event... such as the latest on Hitchhiker Massacre, which debuted a new trailer and poster art at the show, both of which we have right here!

Retrofocus Pictures' slasher horror film Hitchhiker Massacre is directed by James L. Bills (Refuge of Last Resort) and produced by J. Horton (Monsters in the Woods, Edges of Darkness). Retrofocus is the brainchild of executive producer Ivan Nagy, who created the HBO series "The Hitchhiker" and directed Skinner.

The film stars Ely Lamay, Calista Carradine, John Barrymore, James Bartholet, Veronica Lavery, and Katherine Cronyn.

"Hitchhiker Massacre is a love letter to the slasher flicks I loved as a kid: Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Toolbox Murders, The Slumber Party Massacre. Gone is the self-referential, jokey comedy that infected so much horror post-Scream. I just wanted to make an honest,...

The grindhouse slasher Hitchhiker Massacre is currently at the American Film Market, in Santa Monica. Here, the film, from producers Jason Horton (Edges of Darkness) and Ivan Nagy (Skinner), is showing to distributors. The film has also released a second trailer at the event. The clip shows more of the film's bare bones story and it focuses on what matters, bloodshed! Also, Hitchhiker Massacre stars John Barrymore, Calista Carradine, Playboy Playmate Veronica Lavery, Ely Lamay and Stephanie Gerard. The film begins with Sally (Lamay). She wants to leave her troubles behind by travelling across America. Things go wrong when Sally is picked up by a mysterious trucker. This driver is more cannibal, than good Samaritan. Now, Sally will have to fight for her life, or become just another meal. Hitchhiker Massacre is a throwback to slasher films of the past. Director James L. Bills says of the film: "[it] is a...

Hitchhiking is always risky, for both the driver and the hitchhiker; and in James L. Bills' Hitchhiker Massacre, the stakes are raised even higher... a murderer has dinner orders to fill, and those thumbing rides are on the top of the menu!

From the Press Release:

Director James L. Bills (Refuge of Last Resort) has just completed production on the ‘80s grindhouse horror title Hitchhiker Massacre. The film brings sexy hitchhikers off deserted roadways and into back alley kitchens. Hitchhiker Massacre was produced by Jason Horton (Monsters in the Woods, Edges of Darkness) and stars Playboy Playmate Veronica Lavery, Spanish songstress Stephanie Gerard, Calista Carradine (David Carradine’s daughter), Ely Lamay, John Blyth Barrymore (grandson of John Barrymore), and Rocky Christopher.

All these hitchhikers want to do is have a good time. They want to party and have fun! But a madman is stalking the dusty backroads of Northern California,...

Sexy Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle star Drew Barrymore is refusing to see her desperately ill father - because she can't forgive the way he treated her. Drew cut all ties with 50s film star John Drew Barrymore two years ago, after a blazing row at his Malibu, California, home. More recently, the Wedding Singer babe failed to attend a court hearing to determine who would care for the ailing actor. John was wheeled into a Los Angeles mental health court to find out whether his son, Drew's half-brother John Barrymore III, could be given the responsibility of providing day-to-day care for his father. Barrymore's son understands why Drew doesn't want to play a part in her father's life, but wishes she would at least return his phone calls. He says, "I don't know if Drew knows anything about this hearing. My father is in here a lot. I have tried to contact her through her people, as I don't have a contact for her directly. I would have liked her to be here but she just does not want to get into contact now. She is her own person and she can do what she wants. My father was not very nice to her and maybe she thinks what she is doing is enough." Despite cutting emotional ties, the actress still shells out financially, paying around $48,000 a year for her father's care.

Drew Barrymore's actor half-brother John Blyth Barrymore has been attacked in his home by burglars. Six teenagers entered his home in Mountain View, California on Wednesday and attacked him with a metal trailer hook. Police say they were hoping to steal the actor's marijuana plants. Barrymore, 47, underwent brain surgery on Friday) and was expected to recover. Hybrid actor Barrymore is the grandson of the silent film star of the same name and the son of director John Barrymore Jr., superstar Drew's dad.
