Check Out Angus Scrimm’s Final Performance in ‘Dances with Werewolves’ Trailer
It’s been well documented that 2016 was a year that claimed the lives of many true icons of the entertainment business, and here in the horror world, one of those huge blows was the death of the iconic Angus Scrimm. Best known for playing the Tall Man in the Phantasm franchise, Scrimm passed away at the age of 89 last January, but he leaves behind one more movie.
Much like last year’s Phantasm: Ravager, the upcoming film Dances with Werewolves is unfortunately being released posthumously, and it’s home to Angus Scrimm’s final performance. Courtesy of The Phantasm Archives, we’ve learned that Scrimm plays a vagrant named Neumann in the film, which will screen on January 27th at Santa Fe’s Jean Cocteau Cinema.
The cast also includes Aqueela Zoll, Tatiana DeKhytar, Omar Paz Trujillo, Lauren Parkinson, Jim Tavare, and Jane Park Smith.
Check out the trailer below.
In Dances with Werewolves, directed by Donald F. Glut and Dan Golden…
Cassie flees an abusive relationship and falls victim to a moon-worshiping 600 year old Romanian Countess; a troubled paranormal investigator of Native American heritage finds himself in a deadly love triangle with a battered-woman werewolf.

‘Nightborn’ Trailer Teases a Monstrous Newborn in Shudder’s Horror Film from ‘Hatching’ Filmmaker
There’s something seriously wrong with the newborn in the first trailer for dark fable Nightborn, from Hatching filmmaker Hanna Bergholm.
Nightborn will make its premiere at Fantasia on July 22 before debuting on Shudder on July 31.
Motherhood appears to be a very violent, bloody affair in the below trailer and poster.
In Nightborn, “With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga and her British husband Jon move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.”
Seidi Haarla (Compartment No. 6) and Rupert Grint (Knock at the Cabin, “Servant”) star in the film described as ” a visceral, gripping and terrifying dark fable about motherhood and unconditional maternal love.”
The cast also includes Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey and John Thomson.
“Hanna Bergholm’s audacious sophomore follow up to Hatching delivers tension and shocking moments surrounding parenthood and self discovery — with a touch of humor,” said Emily Gotto, senior vice president of acquisitions and production at Shudder. “We are thrilled to share Nightborn with audiences.”
Expect Nightborn to pull from Nordic folklore. Bergholm explained in a statement, “In Nordic countries, there’s a long-standing mythology of trolls living in the forests. In ancient times, people truly believed that trolls inhabited the woods and had a kind of control over nature. And in Nightborn, the forest reflects Saga’s emotions and the animalistic, primitive physical side of humankind.”
