Two More Images Deliver the ‘Satanic Panic’!

Published

on

Yesterday, we shared the first ever look at Rebecca Romijn as Danica, the leader of a cult in Satanic Panic, a horror comedy directed by Chelsea Stardust.

Now, we have two more shots from the film, the above of Hayley Griffith as a pizza delivery girl who has to fight for her life — and her tips — when her last order of the night turns out to be bougie, high society Satanists in need of a virgin sacrifice.

Arden Myrin can be seen in the below image as cultist Gypsy, the right-hand woman of Romijn’s Danica.

In the film…

Times are tough for Sam. Already a cancer survivor at twenty-two, she eeks out a meager existence delivering pizza for minimum wage—and minimum tips—while dealing with an exploitative boss and obnoxious coworkers. When the final delivery of the night promises to take her to a wealthy neighborhood with the chance of a healthy tip, she takes the opportunity to make up for an unprofitable shift. What begins as a quest for cash ends up as a quest for survival, though, when it turns out her customers aren’t who she’s used to delivering to. Instead, they’re a Satanic cult of a very different color: high-society elites for whom worshipping the Dark Lord coexists with country clubs and casseroles.

Grady Hendrix wrote the film with Ted Geoghegan (We Are Still Here).

Fangoria’s Dallas Sonnier produces with Cinestate’s Amanda Presmyk. Phil Nobile Jr. is on board to executive produce. Aperture Entertainment also produces.

Images were first shared yesterday by BirthMoviesDeath and Dread Central.

‘Herbert West: Reanimator’ First Look Introduces Contemporary H.P. Lovecraft Reimagining

A contemporary reimagining of H.P. Lovecraft’s short story Herbert West: Reanimator is on the way, and Deadline has unveiled the first look at the new Herbert West and the pathologist drawn to his orbit.

The original screenplay and storyline come from Jade Sandberg Wallis.

Michael Grossman (“The Originals”, “Pretty Little Liars”) directs.

The new images introduce star Joseph Morgan (Vampire Diaries), who playsbrilliant surgeon and scientist Herbert West, who is obsessed with creating a serum to reanimate the dead.Katie Cassidy (Speed Demon) stars opposite as the pathologist with a troubled past who joins his efforts.

Together, they prove that conquering death may be the ultimate sin against life itself.

The film’s official synopsis:As a child, Herbert West watches his father Peter reanimate his dead mother Judith in a secret basement lab — only for Judith to mortally wound Peter and nearly kill Herbert before Peter shoots her. The trauma leaves its mark on Herbert, but so does one final image: his mother’s finger, twitching after death. Thirty years later, Herbert West is a brilliant, secretive surgeon still chasing his father’s obsession.

“Pathologist Kate Locke arrives in town and is drawn into his orbit — first through a spark at a hospital fundraiser, then through his secret lab, where he reveals a serum capable of reanimating severed tissue. Kate, hiding a dark past of her own, is thrilled rather than horrified, and moves into West’s mansion to work alongside him. Their early experiments on a cadaver succeed only briefly. West concludes that dead tissue is the problem — they need something fresher.

Supporting cast includes Scott Aiello, Ira J Amyx, Randall Newsome, Emma Reinagal, James D. Bryce, Kathryn A Bentley, Jack Lancaster, Amy Holland Pennell, John Pierson, Mindy Shaw, Eric Dean White, Tristan Wilder Hallet, Adrienne Lamping, Aaron Crippen, and Drew Patterson.

Makeup artist Jeff Lewis (“Star Trek: Voyager,” “Star Trek: Enterprise”) and cousin Roger Lewis are heading the production via their newly established Woodlake Entertainment.

Lovecraft’s short story, first serialized in Home Brew magazine in 1922, is the first among his works to mention the fictional Miskatonic University. It was most famously adapted into a 1985 horror movie from Stuart Gordon, starring Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West.

Herbert West: Reanimator is set in Alton, Illinois, where production is now underway.
