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.
Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks, the married writing-directing duo behind the pandemic horror movie Alone With You, are back with the new horror movie Blood Shine.
Blood Shine is coming to theaters, VOD, and Digital on August 21 from Dark Sky Films.
Set in a desolate expanse of upstate New York, Blood Shine centers around Clara, a religious zealot who worships light in lonely, sacred rituals. When problematic horror director Brighton West travels upstate to finish the screenplay for his next film, a chance encounter with Clara leads him into a hallucinatory web of faith, flesh, and the sublime.
Bennett also stars in the film, in addition to writing and directing with Brooks.
Brendan Sexton III (Session 9), David Call (Insidious: The Red Door), Larry Fessenden (You’re Next), and Toby Poser (Recluse, Hellbender) also star.
“We are thrilled to bring Blood Shine to North American audiences,” added Dark Sky executive vice president Greg Newman. “Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks have created a daring and visually arresting film that expands the boundaries of folk horror and really delivers.”
Producers include Aaron B. Koontz via Paper Street Pictures (Shelby Oaks, Scare Package) and Alexander Schepsman, Garrett Fennelly and Zeus Kontoyannis via Zeus Pictures.
Ashleigh Snead and Cameron Burns serve as co-producers for Paper Street. Michael McFadden, G. Riley Mills, and Matt Sullivan executive produce.
Watch the new trailer below that introduces an eerie Larry Fessenden as a faith figure with a sadistic streak.
