Angus Scrimm’s Final Film ‘Dances with Werewolves’ Gets Halloween Date
Best known for playing the Tall Man in the Phantasm franchise, Angus Scrimm passed away at the age of 89 back in 2016, but he leaves behind one more movie.
Much like last year’s Phantasm: Ravager, the upcoming Dances with Werewolves is unfortunately being released posthumously, and it’s home to Scrimm’s final performance. Via the website Phantasm Archives this week, the film will be available October 31 on Amazon, iTunes, Google Play and Vudu VOD.
“Angus appears in a supporting role as Neumann, a vagrant character,” the site notes.
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.”
The cast also includes Aqueela Zoll, Tatiana DeKhytar, Omar Paz Trujillo, Lauren Parkinson, Jim Tavare, and Jane Park Smith.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
