Kane Hodder and Tyler Mane vie for Dream Role

Published

on

In two separate panels this weekend at Spooky Empire horror veteran Kane Hodder and genre newcomer Tyler Mane were asked which movie monster they would want to portray if given the choice.  Both individually answered Frankenstein’s monster.  First Kane in his panel which kicked off the day at noon on Saturday, and then Tyler Mane in his Halloween Reunion panel hours later.

 

Both men were not only quick to answer, but were also very passionate in their choice.  In fact, upon learning about Kane’s interest in the same role Mane responded exuberantly “Well fuck Kane Hodder!  And you can tell him I said that!” followed by laughter from the audience.

Hodder has already had a taste of the character.  Well, kind of.   In 2011 filmmaker Adam Green released The Diary of Anne Frankenstein, a segment in the horror anthology Chillerama featuring 3 other short films.   In the parody of the classic monster movie it is shot to feel like a 1940’s black and white film, and the actors speak in German.  However, this monster, known as Meshugannah, is a Hassidic Jewish version of the classic movie monster immortalized by legendary Boris Karloff in 1931.


Mane is known to horror fans for his current undertaking of the character Michael Myers in rock and roll icon turned filmmaker Rob Zombie in his versions of Halloween 1 & 2.  While Hodder has more experience as movie monsters, especially the silent lumbering type that would be required for Frankenstein’s monster, both men have their advantages.

When going toe to toe, each of the men have many similarities that would make them great choices if the movie was ever to be remade.  Each are tall and muscular, each have had to learn to emote many different emotions without speaking, and each have the experience of garnering sympathy from the audience without saying a word.

In the battle of the Frankenstein monsters who do you think would make a better monster if the classic story was ever to be retold again?  Tell us in the comments bellow!

Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

The Faceless Lady

Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

Published

on

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this  Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
