While I'm not exactly sure what to make of this upcoming horror/comedy based off the bizarre plot synopsis, I can say that it's something I would certainly enjoy seeing. Especially when some really talented genre folk have already signed on.

Doug Jones (Hellboy) and Kane Hodder (Hatchet) are toplining alongside Ed Ackerman (Hatchet) and Heather Corwin ("Grey's Anatomy") for Love in the Time of Monsters. The film follows a Croatian entrepreneur who's built 'Uncle Slavko's Fun-Time Family Lodge' in the redwoods of Northern California. The staff dress as various American icons from Abraham Lincoln to Frankie Avalon, James Polk and even Elvis. Slavko rocks the infamous Uncle Sam costume. Slavko takes bribes allowing toxic chemicals to be dumped on his land, which cause an uprising of the undead.

The film is slated to begin production this September, and we'll bring you the latest and greatest as we get it.
