It has been announced that Jeff Katz, Lou Arkoff, and Hal Sadoff plan to remake 10 AIP horror titles from the 1950's. If you're a fan of classic horror films from the 50's - 70's, American International Pictures needs no real introduction. They were responsible for dozens of horror cult classics, including Roger Corman's popular Poe adaptations starring Vincent Price.
The titles being remade are said to include: Girls In Prison, Viking Women & The Sea Serpent, The Brain Eaters, She-Creature, Teenage Caveman, Runaway Daughters, The Undead, War of The Colossal Beast, Cool & The Crazy and Day The World Ended.
The announcement lacked details on the cast and crew involved on these projects, but it's said that all of them will be filmed back-t0-back with the first movie filming this fall. Most likely, these movies will be similar in quality and scope to what Roger Corman has been doing with his monster movies that have been seen on Syfy. We'll have more details when they become available.
