BEST WORST MOVIE—the award-winning documentary on the making of TROLL 2 and its growing cult phenomenon—is continuing its theatrical assault on theaters across the U.S. this Friday, May 21 on the West Coast. While in NYC, BEST WORST MOVIE director/TROLL 2 child actor Michael Paul Stephenson and leading man Dr. George Hardy spoke with Fango’s Tony Timpone about both films.

While FANGORIA RADIO currently remains on hiatus, the folks at Sirius XM Radio have been running some of our best and bloodiest shows every Friday night (heard 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. EST, with a second broadcast right after), hosted by Dee Snider, Debbie Rochon and Tony Timpone. Tonight’s show highlights:

The ale flows like there’s no tomorrow at Cologne, Germany’s All Bar One, a popular watering hole for hip city folk. Stephen Manuel (pictured left), director of the new horror film IRON DOORS, eyes the Jameson whiskey, no doubt inspired by his background—he was born in Ireland and raised bilingually in Germany. He and Fango are raising glasses over the success of IRON DOORS (see exclusive pics past the jump), which premiered recently at Estonia’s Haapsalu Horror Film Festival and is currently being sold internationally by Julian Richards’ Jinga Films distribution house.

Indie genre filmmaker Richard Griffin and his Scorpio Film Releasing go seriously ’70s with their latest flick, combining two of the decade’s most popular concerns in THE DISCO EXORCIST. It’s currently shooting in Rhode Island from a script by Tony Nunes, who passed along some pics you can see after the jump.

Skinny Puppy frontman and star of REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA and 2001 MANIACS: FIELD OF SCREAMS, Nivek Ogre wants you to meet “Mr. Brownstone.” The iconic cult industrial/electronic rock vocalist is on the road to unleashing COLLIDOSKOPE, the fourth album from his side project oHgr, later this year, and—in true cryptic Ogre fashion—has devised a series of diabolical mysteries for fans to decipher.

The latest animated short from UK-based filmmaker (and Fango contributor) Ashley Thorpe, THE HAIRY HANDS (see Fango #293) looks set to have another “hit with a myth,” having been screened recently at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The vivid little flick—Thorpe’s fourth in a series of animations that aim to resurrect neglected aspects of British legend—looks set to follow in the footsteps of the award-winning SCAYRECROW and THE SCREAMING SKULL.

Lately I’ve been thinking about THE TWILIGHT ZONE and short films, and how truly alike they can be. Coincidentally, a very interesting book on TWILIGHT ZONE found its way to my desk just last week. It was then that one specific filmmaker came to mind: Patrick Rea of Lawrence, Kansas.

Magnolia Pictures’ Magnet Releasing arm keeps rolling along with the genre acquisitions, having just announced that it has picked up U.S. rights to RUBBER, one of the more unusual genre features in recent years, and released a couple of cranial-damage photos from it.

PREDATORS hits theaters July 9. Produced by PLANET TERROR’s Robert Rodriguez and directed by VACANCY’s Nimrod Atal, the film stars Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Alice Braga, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo and Derek Mears. Take a peek at this pair of international one-sheets.

FANGORIA has been DEAD central all week, as we have been presenting an exclusive video discussion with horror great George A. Romero (see yesterday’s installment here). In part two (of three) of our meaty interview, Romero tells Fango’s Tony Timpone about the talented actors and the special FX found in his latest film SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD (now available on demand and other digital platforms and opening in theaters next Friday, May 28; see the official website here).

If you’re a genre-lovin’ New Yorker, one of the most-anticipated events each year is the New York Asian Film Festival, which always showcases a number of intriguing genre flicks. This year’s edition, which runs June 25-July 8 and whose details were just announced, is no different.
