The filmmaker who invented modern body-horror is set to take part in THE BODY ARTIST as an actor, inspired by the novelist behind his most recent directorial venture.

TALES FROM HELL is told in the tradition of anthology feature films done by the old British Amicus studio and more recent horror anthologies like V/H/S and THE THEATRE BIZARRE. Produced by Fango scribe and Blood in the Snow Festival Director, Kelly Michael Stewart (under his new Silver Shadows Production company) his team have put together four original horror stories told in a feature film anthology format. Hosted and starring Canadian horror stalwart Robert Nolan (SICK/FAMILIAR) as different characters in all four segments, he tells us four unique tales of horror of his 'many lives on earth'.

By the end of 2013, Derek Mears will longer be known principally as the guy who took on the legendary mask of Jason Voorhees in the FRIDAY THE 13TH reboot. His turn inside a remarkable creature suit as Edward the Troll is being cited as one of the best things in the just-released HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS, and later this year he tussles with fellow Jason Kane Hodder in HATCHET III. He discusses those roles and more in this exclusive Fango interview.

Some say that the horror comic magazine is as dead as a week-old corpse, never to walk and love again. Few brave souls, however, have taken it upon themselves to ignore such opinions, attempting to give the forgotten medium another shock to its undead heart. Of course, who could really blame them? With comic companies re-printing every old mag they can find, the sudden rise in popularity for the classics has rekindled a love for all things “eerie.” Morality plays, ghoulish hosts, and dangerous women are back with a passion! TALES OF FEAR #1 is a recent addition, a one man's pursuit to cut out a niche into the already huge cake of the horror world. Though the comic is kind of rough to look at, the passion that creator Gary Scott Beatty has for the bizarre clearly shines through.
