Fangoria Brings Horror Screenplay ‘After Birth’ to Life

Published

After Birth

Parenting is notoriously difficult, especially when it’s for a Frankenstein’s monster version of an infant. I can’t imagine trying to piece together your own baby from scratch (outside of conception) being an easy or clean task. This is why Fangoria’s newest film After Birth will prove to be a film worth seeing for parents who may have constructed their own Franken-baby, but need tips and tricks on how to keep it alive.

The screenplay, originally by Laura Moss (Fry Day and Rising Up: The Story of the Zombie Rights Movement) and Brendan O’Brien (Neighbors and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising), After Birth will be directed by Moss, is being financially backed by Fangoria, reports Deadline. Alongside Moss, Mali Elfman (Before I Wake) is set to produce in addition to Dallas Sonnier (Bone Tomahawk and Dragged Across Concrete)  and Amanda Presmyk (Puppet Master: Littlest Reich and Dragged Across Concrete) for Fangoria and Cinestate. Fangoria will have the role of executive producers assigned to Phil Nobile Jr. (Killer Profile and Halloween: The Inside Story) and Clay Neigher (Satanic Panic (pre-production)). The team provided will be  in charge of this touching mother-daughter horror fest of gore and quality parenting.

Detailed by Deadline‘s article, After Birth is about a morgue technician who is able to galvanize the corpse of a baby girl; however, while the little spawn is alive for now, it cannot survive by natural means like any other newborn infant. In order to keep the little girl alive, the technician turned mad scientist must gather the necessary biological components to give the Frankenbaby. Consequently, the bio-parts needed to keep the girl alive must come from pregnant women.

Unfortunately for our new-age Frankenstein, the girl’s mother discovers that the child has been brought back to life by unethical means. Thankfully for the Morgue technician, the two are able to lead to an agreement that guarantees that they will embark on a nightmarish journey that there’s no turning back from.

After Birth promises to be one hell of an interesting ride, an innovative take on the age-old tale of Frankenstein that’s been reinvented countless times. Fangoria has also announced they will be backing an episodic horror comedy series featuring Barbara Crampton, which you can read our article covering that here!

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
