Late last week I attended the US Premiere of Chillerama at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. After a tranquil hour milling about the interior of the main mausoleum (I’d obviously seen screenings in the cemetery but had never been inside the crypt before), sipping something called `Chill Out” (actually kind of tasty, but I like weird sour stuff), it was time to hit the red carpet.

The next hour would not be so tranquil. The red carpet was about 20 feet long (very, very small) and was EXTREMELY crowded. In short, it was utter chaos. The line started out orderly, but then Tim Sullivan (director of the Chillerama segment “I Was A Teenage Werebear”) started ‘directing’ the actual press event. He was pulling people in and out of interviews with various outlets and shuffling the order of who would walk where. Pretty soon it descended/ascended into chaos. Fun and exciting with lots of cool people, but chaos nonetheless. In fact, Tim was so busy hopping around I never got the chance to interview him. Maybe next time!

I did, however, get to spend a few minutes with the other three other directors of Chillerama. Adam Rifkin, Joe Lynch and Adam Green were all incredibly gracious and spoke with genuine enthusiasm about their love for this film, their upcoming projects and the horror community in general. Joe Lynch (despite being punched in the groin during our interview by Joel David Moore) also had some surprisingly fond comments for the MPAA.

Because the press line was so hectic I actually had to chase Green down a bit for my final interview of the night – right before he took the stage to introduce the film. He seemed incredibly grateful to be there (after a full day on set shooting “Holliston”) and his appreciation for his success and his fans was palpable. It was clearly a big night for him, and his fondness for the genre was legitimately infectious. It was a nice primer before I joined the audience to watch the film.

I also snagged a few quotes from Joel David Moore (“The Diary Of Anne Frankenstein”, Avatar), Lin Shaye (“I Was A Teenage Werebear”, A Nightmare On Elm Street), AJ Bowen (“Zom-B-Movie”, You’re Next), Kane Hodder (“The Diary Of Anne Frankenstein”, Friday The 13th Parts 7-10) and Derek Mears (Friday The 13th 2009, MacGruber).

Without further ado I present – in the order in which they appeared at the event – some of the highlights of the red carpet. Hit the jump to check it out!

‘Chillerama’ Trailer Emerges From The Grindhouse, What Do You Think?

The Chillerama trailer has finally arrived in anticipation of the film’s premiere on September 15th at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.

So far it looks pretty fun to me. I’m not completely blown away (and I suspect I’ll like some of the four installments more than others) but I suppose the point is that this is kind of a lark for all involved, a chance to stretch out before their next feature.

From the depraved minds of directors Adam Rifkin (Detroit Rock City, The Dark Backward), Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs, Driftwood), Adam Green (Hatchet, Frozen), and Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2, Knights of Badassdom), Chillerama is a festival of gore, guts, goofiness and good times.

“It’s the closing night at the last drive-in theater in America and Cecil B. Kaufman (Richard Riehle, Bridesmaids, Hatchet) has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons. Four films so rare that they have never been exhibited publicly on American soil until this very night! What could possibly go wrong?”

Chillerama is out on DVD and Blu-Ray November 29th. Check out the trailer after the jump.

We’ve known that Hatchet 3 will be happening for sometime now and it’s more or less been the assumption that Adam Green would hand the reigns to another director as he expands the scope of his career beyond Victor Crowley.

That assumption has now been confirmed, someone has the gig, but we’re not entirely sure who. Presumably an offer has been made and accepted and they’re just waiting for the dotted line to be signed.

I like the Hatchet films well enough and it’ll be interesting to see what direction they head in with someone new at the helm (with Green overseeing as producer and I’m guessing possibly writing). Hatchet 2 featured more than enough exposition for two films so maybe this one will really hit the ground running?

Green spoke to Bleeding Cool, “I hope everyone is excited because he was the right person for it. It’s not a name that everyone’s going to know, but when you hear who it is I think you’ll understand why I made the choice I did. What I can say is that he was my first choice all along, even when it came time to do the second one, at a certain point they wanted to do the second one and they didn’t want to wait for me, and this was the guy that I thought should do it. He’s been part of the ‘Hatchet’ family the whole way, and I will tease just by saying that he was there for everything. He’s the type of guy, he works on a lot of big movies, and if he’s wearing his ‘Hatchet’ crew shirt, and if the guy on the crew for, like ‘Transformers’ or whatever tries to talk shit, he physically beats the shit out of him. I’m going to be with him the whole way, I’m going to be by the camera the whole time, protecting him, helping him, and I hope it’s the best ‘Hatchet’ movie yet.”

Poster For Green And Pardee’s ‘Digging Up The Marrow’ Doc

Earlier this week, Adam Green announced his documentary about monster art, Digging Up The Marrow, which he’s collaborating on with Alex Pardee, who made a limited edition screen print for Hatchet II. Personally, my walls are lined with “monster art” and the like, so I’m jazzed about this.

There’s really not much to go on at this point, as the doc is just entering the first phase of its production and won’t be out until 2013. In the meantime, Green and Pardee will be appearing at the San Diego Comic-Con on Friday July 22nd at the ZeroFriends booth to sign limited edition posters for the upcoming project. Check out the poster after the jump and if you’re going to Comic-Con next week, stop by and grab one.

Last month Image Comics released the first issue of “EXISTENCE 2.0″ and “FORGETLESS” creator Nick Spencer’s newest mini-series, “SHUDDERTOWN”. The title itself is a bit of an enigma following Homicide Detective (and drug addict) Isaac Hernandez as he tries to solve the mystery of the bodies turning up in his town by what would seem to be the stupidest murderer of all time. Fingerprints, DNA, fibers, and every other piece of evidence a cop could possibly hope to find on the scene is there, but the only catch is is that they all lead back to one guy who just so happens to be dead. For those of you who enjoy some “SE7EN” inspired thrills with your hard boiled noir read on for the 5 page preview of the second issue.
