Read on and find out…rooker090505 Who Will Fill George Romeros Shoes?Fangoria reports that John McNaughton, director of the seminal HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER, has been signed to direct HAECKEL’S TALE, which series producer/creator Mick Garris adapted from the Clive Barker story.

“I’m really excited to have McNaughton on the show,” Garris tells Fango. “[His segment is] really a different kind of horror movie, being a period piece, set in 1832, and with a real Clive Barker kind of whacked sexuality to it. It’s quite a meal, and I know that John will make it a nutritious one.”
