He premiered “The Definitive DOCUMENT OF THE DEAD” at this past weekend’s Saturday Nightmares event in New Jersey, and is continuing to develop a sequel to his cult-fave gross-out epic STREET TRASH.

BURKE AND HARE is John Landis’ long-awaited return to horror comedy.

And now, the first official image from the film has been released.

Filmmaker James Felix McKenney, whose credits include AUTOMATONS, the upcoming SATAN HATES YOU and the recently wrapped HYPOTHERMIA, got in touch to let us know that he’s venturing into distribution with the new Channel Midnight Releasing.
