The Wrong Turn franchise hasn’t ever been a well respected horror series, but it has shown itself to be pretty sustainable over the years, delivering a total of six films between 2003 and 2014. Now, the carnage will continue with yet another outing currently in production.
Yes, as you may’ve heard, Constantin Film – the studio behind the Resident Evil movies – is bringing us a new chapter in this series that revolves around an inbred family of cannibalistic mountain men from West Virginia. Mike P. Nelson, director of the acclaimed post-apocalyptic thriller The Domestics, will be behind the camera and in what may sound like a familiar premise, the movie will feature a group of friends who embark on a hiking trip through the Appalachian Trail.
It’s here that they come into contact with “The Foundation,” a community who’ve been residing in the mountains for many decades and these...

Yuletide ghouls continue their march toward the big screen as the Joe R. Lansdale project Christmas With the Dead gears up to shoot—but now they’ll be doing so for a different director.
The Christmas team gave word that Brian James Fitzpatrick has been replaced at the helm by Terrill Lee Lankford due to creative differences. “We’re sorry it didn’t work out with Brian, as no one respects his talents and skills more than I do, but we’re happy to have Lee on board,” says Lansdale, executive producer on the film, based on his story.
Currently running Hieronymous Pictures for author Michael Connelly—for which he recently directed Conflict of Interest, a three-part tie-in to Connelly’s novel The Scarecrow—Lankford is currently scripting a feature adaptation of the popular TV series The Equalizer with Connelly. Fright fans, however, will know him better as T.L. Lankford,...

While we're all very excited for a big screen adaptation of Joe R. Lansdale's Christmas with the Dead, it looks like it will be shambling forth with a new director steering the joyously rotting ship.
Terrill Lee Lankford will be replacing Brian James Fitzpatrick at the helm as director. "We're sorry it didn't work out with Brian, as no one respects his talents and skills more than I do, but we're happy to have Lee on board," said executive producer Joe R. Lansdale.
Said Lankford, "We've got a fresh, talented cast; an enthusiastic young crew; and 110-degree weather conditions to challenge the zombies and the make-up artists. (I'll be directing in a loin cloth - please, no flash photographs!) Keith Lansdale's screenplay was a revelation to me. I know he comes from good writing stock, but I did not expect the level of artistry he brought to the script.

We gave y'all a sneak peak back in January for Joe R. Lansdale's Christmas With The Dead and today we have some teaser art for you to check out courtesy of Aith.

Plot: It was a foolish thing to do, and Calvin had not bothered with it the past two years, not since the death of his wife and child. But this year he decided, quite suddenly, that tomorrow was Christmas Eve. And zombies be damned, the lights and decorations are going up...

Writer/director Brian James Fitzpatrick (pictured, whose short Throwaway was previously featured here) recently got into touch to give Fango the heads-up on his latest project, a screen adaptation of Joe R. Lansdale’s story “Mister Weed-Eater.” While still in the very early stages of production, the project has already garnered praise from Lansdale, who will act as co-producer.
“Mister Weed-eater is something I’m very excited about,” Lansdale says. “It’s one of my favorite short stories, and I look forward to a film from it. I think it could be as unique and wonderful as Bubba Ho-tep. The potential is certainly there.”
Previously included in Lansdale’s anthology High Cotton and recently republished in the collection Sanctified And Chicken-fried: The Portable Lansdale, “Mister Weed-Eater” (which the author has long maintained is based on actual events) follows protagonist Job Harold as his life is turned upside down by the...

Ever since I began working at Fangoria a few years back, I am constantly amazed by how far reaching the horror genre is. I mean, I had always loved horror, but most of my counterparts growing up couldn’t stomach the stuff. Recently, no matter where I go, no matter what kind of film I am working on, at least half of the people there are big time horror fans. This proved true last month when I traveled to Long Island to work on a short entitled Unaimed Arrow.
