It's not uncommon for movie and TV stars to make the jump from the screen to the printed page; many well-known actors have capitalized on their name recognition to help boost their profiles as emerging authors. Notable examples include Viggo Mortensen (Lord of the Rings), who found success with his self-published poetry; James Franco (This is the End) recently rolled out a well-received short story collection entitled Palo Alto; and Ethan Hawke (Sinister, The Purge) has won acclaim for the novels The Hottest State and Ash Wednesday. While we don't hear nearly enough about actors from the world of horror and sci-fi making a successful transition to those same genres in print, it's not as rare a phenomenon as you might think. Let's examine the literary legacies of three notable horror stars who carved out thrilling new careers as horror writers... Thomas Tryon Genre Role: I Married a Monster from Outer Space...

A place to stop to get off the road. Check into a clean and simple place where Each room has its own story to tell … a story that ends in hell.

Screamkings Productions in partnership with Untold Horror presents a one of a kind compilation entitled "Road Hell" featuring Edward X. Young (Sea Of Dust), Andrew Fitch, Niki Rubin (Frat House Massacre), Austin Dossey (Sculpture), James Hazelton and Jaclyn Marfuggi. Road Hell provides a clever and twisted take on classic horror themes delivered in an edgy and alternative style that both are know for.

A trilogy of stories, each of which emerges from the rooms of a decrepit motel run by the lecherous, Dickey Sussex (John Link).

Come in from the cold, stranger, and prepare yourself for the best and bloodiest work from Hammer horror's archetypal vampire countess. Let me take your scarf ...

Following Ingrid Pitt's death at 73, apparently from heart failure, her daughter Steffanie told the BBC the actor should be remembered as the vampire countess with the "wonderful teeth and the wonderful bosom". There seems little doubt Pitt will remain associated with the particular blend of gore and sex appeal that typified the Hammer movies of the early 1970s, and which remain her trademark.

Ingoushka Petrov was born in Poland in 1937 to a German father and Jewish mother. Confined to a concentration camp for much of the war, she later moved to Berlin where, in the 1950s, she married an American soldier. They moved to California but the marriage failed and she returned to Europe. In the 1960s, Pitt worked with the Berliner Ensemble theatre company under Helene Weigel,...

Midway through Sea Of Dust (now on DVD from Cinema Epoch), two characters make the horrifying discovery that a wounded woman under their care has been hollowed out by the malevolent force they’re fighting. Her empty body is walking around under his influence, empty of bones, organs and, possibly, soul. If you take this idea and reverse it, you will have the perfect metaphor for Scott Bunt’s directorial debut: a movie stuffed full of ideas, but wrapped in a shell almost too flimsy to contain it.

The much-talked about H.G. Lewis-inspired Smash Cut has been added to our Fango Film Fest for the inaugural Fangoria Trinity Of Terrors taking place October 30 through November 1 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas!

Able Whitman (David Hess - appearing at The Trinity!) is a horror-film director whose movies are panned by critics and audiences alike — until he starts killing people and using their body parts as props in his new flick.

Now, only intrepid Smash Cut. reporter April Carson (Sasha Grey) and celebrated private detective Isaac Beaumonde (Jesse Buck) stand between the demonic director and his unquenchable thirst for butchery at 24 frames per second!

Inspired by the career and filmography of Herschell Gordon Lewis, Smash Cut is a gore-splattered satire of the blood sport known as filmmaking.

This director's cut bleeds!

Smash Cut joins our Film Fest program which will be held in the Brenden Theatres inside the Palms Casino.

The anticipated throwback to the exploitation films of the 60's and 70's comes to the Fangoria Trinity Of Terrors as Bitch Slap has been added to our Fango Film Fest, taking place October 30 through November 1 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas!

Directed by Rick (The Unborn II) Jacobson and produced by Jacobson and Eric Gruendemann, with Return Of The Living Dead co-star/The Willies director Brian Peck as an associate producer, Bitch Slap stars America Olivo (Friday The 13th), Julia Voth and Erin Cummings as three bad girls who run up against worse guys after their attempt to extort a fortune from a crime boss goes awry.

Scripter Trevor Wright gave Fango a couple of exclusive pics (see ’em below) from The Green Monster, a new indie chiller he wrote and co-produced. Bryan Roberts and Nolan Bell directed the Untold Horror/Screamkings Productions movie.

“The Green Monster is my first solo screenwriting feature, following my co-writing work on Pete Jacelone’s Sculpture,” Wright tells us. “It originally began as a short film. I wanted to explore the problem of young women who give birth and then throw their babies away. Bryan and Nolan over at Untold Horror got their hands on the script and wanted to expand it into a feature, but that was something I really had no interest in doing. I felt that it functioned well as a short piece, and didn’t want to make an hour and a half of depressing social commentary.”

Instead, that brief screenplay became the feature’s opening sequence,...
