Your new movie Horrortales.666 Part 2 - in a few words, what is it
about?
The
Burglar (Joel D. Wynkoop [Joel D.
Wynkoop interview - click here]) from the original returns to tell more tales of
horror. This time though he is being tormented by the devil (Jaysen
Buterin [Jaysen P. Buterin
interview - click here]).
The burglars is in a hell-like situation paying for misdeeds in life so to
say. The original Horrortales.666 hails from 2003 - so why did
you decide to do a sequel only now? And in what (if any) way are the two
films connected? My
producing partner Dustin Hubbard [Dustin
Hubbard interview - click here] brought it up to me. He was a fan of the
original. He was also a big fan of Julie Strain who was in the original. He
wanted to pay tribute to her. I had mentioned a few years ago wanting to shoot
a sequel. But when the pandemic hit things slowed down. But back late last
year we felt the time was right to bring back the series. The movies are
connected and it's a true sequel not just in title. Joel returns as the Burglar
trapped in this hell. Forced to read these stories with no way out. Joel has a
much bigger part which almost turns into another story. Joel’s perfect
timing and gift of improvising is shown here and works fantastically. Do talk about Horrortales.666 Part 2's
overall approach to horror? This movie explores
the real life horror unraveling while the host is forced to almost live what
he is reading. It becomes a reality and is slowly turning him crazy and
unfocused on what is reality and what is story. He now lives in a living hell.
What can you tell us about
your own segment of Horrortales.666 Part 2, and what were your
inspirations when writing it? My segment is called My
World. Originally it was being done because we wanted to make sure we had
enough stories and the movie was long enough. It was a fun way also to reunite
with many friends in the business. But then it grew with how many people I
reached out and wanted to be part of it. There are old favorites and new
favorites. Not just my friends but also everyone in that segment is well-liked
in the industry. It’s a fun all-star indie film line-up. A few words about your
directorial approach to your story at hand, and about the shoot as such?
Since Covid-19 it’s hard to get together an make movies. This segment is a
tribute to these people who keep creating to entertain and make us forget the
real world. It proves you can still make an entertaining fun movie. Everyone
was giving their lines and direction. They were quite simply told be yourself
and either use a phone or tablet to record yourself on the phone. They are all
looking to be in the new Horrortales.666. There is also a running joke about
wanting to be host. It’s all in good fun and will have everyone guessing to
see what celebrities are next. Do
talk about the directors of the other segments of Horrortales.666 Part 2, and what made them the perfect choices for your anthology? Matt Cannon brings us
Open House. An amateur realtor's plans to straighten up her first property could spell disaster after
a strange decoration left over from the previous owners could spell a sale
from hell. Matt impressed me with his movie Hexercise, I saw his brilliance
and wanted him to do it again for this movie. What he accomplished in
Hexercise was genius and a risk. But the payoff was amazing.
Marcel Fabani
brings us The Last Farewell of Mr. Pérez. This is the strange story of
a man who discovers who he is and what his mission is during his last day on
Earth. Marcel and I have been talking for a while now. We have been wanting to
do a film for a while together. This gave us that opportunity. Marcel is such a
genius and can tell so much with limited time and actors. His writing and
filming is incredible and so powerful, I wanted him to be able to express it
on here and have a wider audience experience it.
Joe Sherlock [Joe Sherlock
interview - click here] brings us
The
Present. A loving couple in a seemingly normal neighborhood have a quiet
dinner at home. The wife has a surprise present for her husband. Who knows
what goes on in this hotbed of suburban lust and depravity? Joe and I have
been working together over 20 years. People love his style and type of movie
he makes. He has a cult following and always delivers. There was no way I was
making this without him. Derek Braasch brings us Slay Ride. It's
Christmas time once again in the North Pole and Santa is ready to bring
laughter and cheer to all the kids in the world, but one devious act changes
all of that causing Santa to not be in the holiday spirit. Derek is such a
nice fun creative person I had to have him. His approach to this short drew me
in right away. People are going to love it. It truly is a Horrortale. I liked
him so much he will be back for the next installment. You
of course also have to talk about Horrortales.666 Part 2's rather
star-studded cast for a bit, and why exactly these people?
Everyone in this movie is a friend and was an asset
to the production. I was really blessed to have such a great team behind and
in front of the cameras. This movie just came together magically. My good
friend Kimberly Lynn Cole was in the original and this time once again stars
but also produces. She is an asset and truly fun person to work with. I would
have to dedicate this whole interview just talking about each and every
person. I will just say everyone is going to like what they see. Being
pretty much the showrunner on Horrortales.666 Part 2, how much say
did you have when it came to the other segments, in regards to style,
story, and cast? With an
anthology I always handle it the same way. You are told we need a horror
story. Your choice, but has to be approved by me and Dustin. After approval we
give them a time limitation and delivery schedule. I want these filmmakers to
have complete freedom and be able to use this as a showcase for their talent.
These movies get seen, and you never know who sees them. It’s a walking
resume. The $64-question of course, when and
where will Horrortales.666 Part 2
be released?
Horrortales.666 Part 2
will be released Summer 2021. We are ahead
of schedule thanks to Joel D. Wynkoop and his editing. He took a break from
Craiglon Incident 2 to make this masterpiece. Will
there ever be a Horrortales.666 Part 3, and/or any other future
projects you'd like to share?
Horrortales.666 Part 3 is in development and will be released in Winter 2023.
Too early to give too many details, but Joel D Wynkoop will host and myself and
Dustin will produce again.
