Back in the early 90s Heartland of Darkness, or Blood Church as it was titled then, was one of those films my friends and I all wanted to see, but never seemed to materialize. We read snippets about it in magazines, we knew Linnea Quigley was in it and the plot sounded cool. But for all we kept hearing the only thing that ever emerged was a half hour’s worth of workprint. Now after thirty years on the shelf they’ve finished post-production, added in a few digital effects and it’s getting released by Visual Vengeance. I’m sure one of the extras on the Blu-ray will be a documentary explaining just what happened…
Heartland of Darkness opens with a man fleeing for his life through the woods.

Stars: Nick Baldasare, Richard Hatch, Amanda Howell, Frank Jones Jr., Tiffany Shepis, Scott Summitt, Tim Thomerson | Written and Directed by Jay Woelfel
After awakening in a mental asylum, a patient plans an escape to freedom, but finds an even more disturbing, supernatural world on the outside, one that threatens to keep him trapped in madness forever.
Asylum of Darkness creates a surreal reality which creates more questions than answers. Playing out like an extended version of the Twilight Zone, as if it had been directed by David Lynch, so it’s almost impossible to predict the outcome.
Dwight (Nick Baldasare) is currently detained in a mental institution due to him suffering from visions. This has him constantly questioning what is real, including monsters and his doctor, who looks like a rotting corpse. Certain he will find his sanity on the outside, he manages to escape, but once outside things really start to get weird.

Director Jay Woelfel (Closed for the Season) returns to horror with a psychological tale of mistaken identity. Shot on 35mm, Woelfel’s Season of Darkness is a story that focuses on a protagonist who is an escaped mental patient. He finds his release daunting and strange.

But, there is a price to pay for Dwight’s new fame and loving wife.
Dwight Stroud, a mental patient, escapes from an asylum seeking true freedom only to find horrifying insanity in the outside world. Shades and faceless figures pursue him at every turn and they threaten Dwight’s love for Ellen. Will Dwight succumb to madness, or will he face his troubles head on?

Set in the actual Chippewa Lake Park, Closed for the Season is more thriller than horror. To be released August 23rd, 2011, this is a film that, while small, offers an interesting message of nostalgia and the supernatural. The cover art for this film would suggests something much more horrific, but Closed for the Season is simply a small story of two childhood friends trapped within a lonely amusement park.

Many moons ago, we had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with writer/director/composer/etc. Jay Woelfel. We had discussed his film "Beyond Dreams Door" on Episode #23, and after a great many technical issues- we're proud to finally present this interview! Mr. Woelfel has been directing films since the late 80's and shows no signs of stopping. His most recent output are 2 films (Season of Darkness/Closed for the Season) both shot in our old/current stomping grounds in The Heart of it All. His other works include Ghost Lake, Live Evil, and Trancers 6. He currently resides in Los Angeles and is probably wondering why this has taken to long to post online.

Having racked up a number of credits in the past few years including Bloody Bloody Bible Camp starring Reggie Bannister (Phantasm), Tim Sullivan (host of the TV show Scream Queens and director of 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams), and adult film superstar Ron Jeremy. He has also worked on Herschell Gordon Lewis's The Uh-Oh Show, Andrew Allan's Brainjacked, Jay Woelfel's Live Evil and many other films. Marcus Koch has also stepped back into the director's chair with Fell starring Jeff Dylan Graham. Here's what Marcus Koch had to say about his career.
So who is Marcus Koch and what is he all about?
Not sure yet, but, I'm a Pieces. Sometimes I don hideous mohawks, listen to bad 80's music and collect cheesy tuxedo t-Shirts. I love horror films and I love weird art.

"A hunter dressed in black. This cowboy-hat-wearing samurai-sword-wielding Priest is on a quest for blood. Vampire blood. He's out for revenge on a "clique" of four vampires who are traveling across country in search of "pure blood." The human blood stream has become polluted by drugs, alcohol, Aids, Diabetes, anti-depressants, cigarettes, anything that changes the blood even a small amount makes it undrinkable for Vampires, who, like hi-performance automobiles need "hi test" fuel= Blood in order to survive. This has started a sort of underground civil war between various groups of vampires and vampires themselves have mutated due to the pollution of their life blood."

While discussing his role in Jay Woelfel’s upcoming vampire flick Live Evil, veteran actor Tim Thomerson dropped some news that will excite fans of his Trancers film series. “I’ve been talking with Charlie Band and Full Moon,” he tells us, “and we’re in the early, early stages of trying to bring Jack Deth back one more time.”
Thomerson has played the time-tripping hero in five features since 1985; Deth’s daughter Jo took over in 2002’s Trancers 6, the series’ last entry. While nothing is concrete, Thomerson does share a few details about what we might expect from another Trancers flick. “We’re trying to put him in and shoot it in China,” he says. “Bill Moseley, who we love, might be involved. It’ll be kind of cool, because we’re trying to get back to the noirish feel of it, and it’ll be just a...

This band of blood suckers isn’t all too difficult to find. Their incessant thirst for blood leads to careless, and quite messy mistakes. Which, in turn leads to The Priest directly to this band of plasma thieves. It all comes down to one man, fire in heart battling a group of undead with a few secrets tucked carefully away. Who knows if God can help this priest out…

Jay Woelfel's Live Evil has scored a theatrical release of 300 screens across the nation and will start rolling out on September 18th before seeing the light of DVD in early November. This film is particularly notable for Pretty Scary in that it stars not just one, but two Scary Studs of the Month!
Actors Ken Foree (October 2004) and Mark Hengst (July 2008) have both graced the illustrious pages of Pretty Scary, and both men have teamed up to star in the new vampiric thriller Live Evil.
The film, which also stars Elissa Dowling (I like her!) and Tiffany Shepis (her too!), tells the story of vampires having trouble surviving in a world where the blood supply has become polluted by drugs and STDs. Presumably global warming and the soaring costs of health care isn't making them very happy either.
I personally haven't seen the film and so withhold stronger comment,...

After watching "Live Evil" I was fortunate enough to get in touch with actor Lee Perkins who plays Officer Hicks in the film. The film focuses on vampires in search of pure blood throughout the state of California with vampires fighting other mutant vampires for the last of the uncontaminated blood. Also, involved in shooting with Lee were Ken Foree and Tim Thomerson. The film is currently in negotiations for North American distribution and this campy flick, which is quickly paced, will offer a little something for almost every horror fan. Plus, there are vampire babies! Have a read of this in-depth interview with prolific actor and horror enthusiast Lee Perkins inside.
(Michael Allen) How did you get into filmmaking?
(Lee Perkins) "My mom said I started when I was very young as a carrot in a first grade play. So I guess you could say it was 'planted in me'.

Writer/director Brian James Fitzpatrick (pictured, whose short Throwaway was previously featured here) recently got into touch to give Fango the heads-up on his latest project, a screen adaptation of Joe R. Lansdale’s story “Mister Weed-Eater.” While still in the very early stages of production, the project has already garnered praise from Lansdale, who will act as co-producer.
“Mister Weed-eater is something I’m very excited about,” Lansdale says. “It’s one of my favorite short stories, and I look forward to a film from it. I think it could be as unique and wonderful as Bubba Ho-tep. The potential is certainly there.”
Previously included in Lansdale’s anthology High Cotton and recently republished in the collection Sanctified And Chicken-fried: The Portable Lansdale, “Mister Weed-Eater” (which the author has long maintained is based on actual events) follows protagonist Job Harold as his life is turned upside down by the...

In the future vampires and creatures less than vampires fight one another for the honor of feasting on the last remaining pureblooded humans.
