The Devil gathers four of history’s greatest horror writers to share their scariest stories on Halloween. The result? Horror stars uniting.
Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees in various Friday the 13th), Gunnar Hansen (“Leatherface” in Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Judith O’Dea (“Barbara” in Night of the Living Dead), Udo Kier (Suspiria, Blade), Doug Bradley (“Pinhead” in Hellraiser) and William Sadler (The Mist) lead an all-star cast for Jon Keeyes’ The Gathering, which IMDB also says stars Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), David Naughton (An American Werewolf in London), Debbie Rochon and many more horror vets.
Shooting is scheduled for 4th quarter of this year.
Here’s the plot crunch:
“It’s All Hallow’s Eve in purgatory and the Devil has gathered Edgar Allen Poe, Bram Stoker, H.P. Lovecraft and Mary Shelley for a night of storytelling; the winner receiving whatever they desire. Between snide remarks and bickering rivalries, each takes a turn unveiling their tales that include vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghosts, serial killers, and mad scientists.
‘The Gathering’ follows the successful anthology format with the Devil and the horror authors rounding out the framework. All popular with enormous cult followings, this modern take on the personalities and quirks of these literary legends is often hysterical and genuinely macabre. Contained within the inner stories are unique and original tales that will appeal to the broad mass of horror enthusiasts.”
