Speak of the Devil: The Many Faces of Cinematic Satanism

The Bible says that Satan "masquerades as an angel of light. In popular culture, we tend to think of him as a big red dude with horns and a pitchfork, or as a talking snake, or as Al Pacino in an Armani suit. The devil, in other words, comes in many different forms. And his followers come in just as many. Unlike a lot of other horror movie staples, there's no visual archetype for satanists. We recognize a vampire when we see his fangs and a zombie by the rotting flesh, but a Satan-worshipper? Tougher to spot.
In the new indie horror film "The House of the Devil," an unknowing teenager looking to make some quick cash is lured into a babysitting job by a crew of weirdos who are ultimately revealed to be devil worshippers (not a spoiler, folks, look at the title). This particular coven of satanists are a bunch of suburban eccentrics,

I Drink Your Blood Remake

It seems like a lot of old horror and exploitation directors are using the remake craze to get back into filmmaking. However, I Drink Your Blood director David E. Durston told Fangoria that he wasn't interested in remaking his grindhouse classic until "offers started coming through."
"I turned all of them down, because their budgets were too small. I decided that if I Drink Your Blood would be remade, it should be better than the original, so that people really had something to see if they went to see it again.”

Original director talks I Drink Your Blood remake

Fango just spoke to David Durston, writer/director of the ‘70s grindhouse classic I Drink Your Blood, which—like practically every other horror film from that decade—has been targeted for a remake. The original flick is about a Mansonesque gang of psycho hippies who become infected with rabies, and go on an extremely gory killing spree.
It was the first movie rated X for violence, and as the years went on, it was hard to find an uncut print since most theaters playing it made their own cuts according to “community standards.” Thankfully, the good folks at Grindhouse Releasing brought the movie to DVD several years ago in an uncut deluxe edition, giving the film a whole new life. Following that release, overtures to redo it came in to Durston, who at first resisted. “I wasn’t thinking about a remake until these offers started coming through,” Durston says.

In Case You Missed It: A Crazies Cameo

Sometimes it's easy to miss pretty cool nuggets of info in big reports like our set visit to The Crazies (read it here ) but a recent Twitter from the production made me think we should bring this bit of news into the spotlight.
The Twitter update posted today reads: "We shot a cameo with one of the cast members from the original! Such a great scene. Top secret for now...more to come."
Not necessarily top secret. During our visit to Georgia, director Breck Eisner informed us that original Crazies star Lynn Lowry was going to show her face in the remake. You can read our interview with him in its entirety here .
In addition to Romero's The Crazies , Lowry has starred in I Drink Your Blood , David Cronenberg's Shivers and Cat People .
