Horror filmmaking auteur Randy R. Fabert (Autumn Moon) has created an iconic new villain in his film, Randy R. Fabert’s Psycho Killer, witness the rise of the “Juggernaut”. Psycho Killer is designed to be a retro 80’s style slasher/revenge flick that’s gruesome, compelling, and atmospheric.

Skylar Phoenix Productions brings this tale of terror about one man’s thirst for vengeance against a maniacal serial killer, no matter what the cost.

Co-written, produced, and directed by Randy R. Fabert; Written by Royce Freeman. Starring Sheila Mudd Baker, Randy R. Fabert, Doug Palmer, Anita McFarren, John Handorf, and Iabou Windimere.

Plot Synopsis:

An armored psychopath is abducting and slaughtering young women, including the partner of Detective Colin Graham. Graham and his new partner, without any solid leads are under fire from the brass to solve the murders and find the missing women before it’s too late.

We at FM like to keep our eyes on independent horror films, especially one’s done the classic, old school way, and Randy Fabert’s upcoming Autumn Moon fits the bill. Writer and director Randy Fabert (Psycho Killer) is in pre-production on the werewolf thriller from Skylar Phoenix Productions. Fabert hopes that Autumn Moon will be ”the most violent werewolf movie ever made” and hopes to capture the greatness of other classic werewolf films like The Wolf Man and An American Werewolf In London and the massive amount of carnage and terror that such a monster would cause.

Skylar Phoenix sent us a plot synopsis, as follows:

Pulp writer Michael Renee Allen thought the house on the edge of the woods would be the perfect place to write his next novel. He soon finds that the forest has more to offer than just fresh air and a nice view. Something unspeakable is stalking the forest.

Plot Synopsis:

Pulp...

Vampires had a nice run, and zombies are the current flavor of the week. Instead of reimagining the monsters everyone is onto now, wouldn't it make sense to try to hit the next big wave early? Filmmaker Randy Fabert is howling right that way with Autumn Moon.

Fabert says he hopes to make Autumn Moon "…the most violent werewolf movie ever made." That's setting some lofty goals, but as gore fans we say go for it! Fabert's first film, Psycho Killer, will be touring festivals this fall.

Written, directed and featuring Fabert, Autumn Moon also stars Joe Kidd (That's What She Said), Nathan Grauwelman (Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies), Iabou Windimere (Psycho Killer), Jocelyn Tanis (The Medal), Larry Combs, Gerri Sutyak (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Sonny Burnette (Zombies R Friends) and Richard Aughpin (Architect of Chaos). The werewolf make-up effects will be created by Fabert's Postmortem Efx Studio. Michael Spivey co-wrote the screenplay.
