‘Blood Feast’ Remake Requests Your Presence At The Dinner Table
After making their dinner plans public last month Gundo Entertainment have added two final guests to their modernized Egyptian meal. Aussie beauty Sophie Monk (last seen in 80’s styled slasher The Hills Run Red) rounds out the cast as Penny. With Margot Robbie storming Hollywood, in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ & forthcoming ‘Suicide Squad’, it looks like another antipodean puddin’ is going to make waves. Watch Sophie’s enthusiasm for the project in the video below.
Ms. Monk joins Caroline Williams (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Hatchet III, Contracted), Robert Rusler (A Nightmare On Elm Street 2, Vamp, Tales of Halloween) & Sadie Katz (Wrong Turn 6) in Europe for filming next month.
The final spot open to sample the crazed caterers culinary creations is reserved for you. The production is turning to fans of the original & horror hounds to take part in making more splatter gore with interactive perks delivered via Indiegogo. From a LinkedIn endorsement by Fuad to a blood splattered apron emblazoned with his company’s name you can sleep well knowing you have brought more practical effects to the remake, blessed by the Godfather of Gore himself. Take a look at some of the perks available.
In the spirit of transparency I heard about the project through working alongside the communications company handling the film.

Art Meets Leslie – David Howard Thornton Joins ‘Behind the Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon’
Leslie Vernon will be back in the upcoming Behind the Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon, and Variety reports that David Howard Thornton (Terrifier) has joined the cast.
David Howard Thornton is said to be featured in a “key role.” Stay tuned for more.
“David is one of the defining faces of the modern slasher era,” returning director Scott Glosserman said in a statement to Variety. “If Behind the Mask was about deconstructing the classic rules, then a sequel 20 years later has to reckon with what the genre has become.”
Glosserman adds, “Bringing David into Leslie’s world lets us put the old guard and the new blood in direct conversation, which is exactly where this movie should live.”
The upcoming slasher sequel picks up in a horror landscape that has changed dramatically since Leslie first emerged, as the old rules of the genre collide with a new wave of modern slashers, viral killers, legacy sequels and blood-soaked icons built for the internet age.
It look less than 10 minutes for the Kickstarter campaign for the recently announced Behind the Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon to smash through its goal earlier this year.
The stars of the 2006 movie Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon will reunite for the upcoming sequel, with Nathan Baesel, Angela Goethals and Robert Englund confirmed to return as Leslie Vernon, Taylor Gentry, and Doc Halloran, respectively. Scott Glosserman is also back to direct Behind the Mask II, with David J. Stieve back to write the film.
Glosserman previews, “For twenty years, people have asked if Leslie would ever come back. Fans kept this movie alive by sharing it, quoting it, introducing it to their friends, and treating it like something worth holding onto. This sequel is happening because of them.”
In the 2006 meta-slasher, aspiring slasher icon Leslie Vernon gives a documentary crew exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo. What’s Leslie Vernon been up to in the past 20 years? And what’s next for the character?
Paper Street Pictures, led by Aaron B. Koontz and Cameron Burns, produces the sequel. Adam F. Goldberg (The Goldbergs, Shelby Oaks) will also serve as an executive producer.
Expect Behind the Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon in 2027.
