Fear Clinic Cast and Production Update: "Dry County Entertainment, founded by director Robert Green Hall (MTV’S Teen Wolf, Laid to Rest, Lightning Bug) and Fear Chamber LLC, are proud to announce the final round of casting details for their upcoming production of the feature film Fear Clinic.

Fear Clinic began as a 2009 horror series for FearNet that consisted of five episodes starring up-and-coming talent like Lucas Till (X-Men: First Class) and Kate Nauta (Transporter 2) as well as horror icons Danielle Harris (Halloween 4), Lisa Wilcox (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4) and Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees). The series and upcoming film stars Robert Englund as Dr. Andover, a fear doctor who treats patients afflicted with crippling phobias by inducing hallucinations inside his exposure therapy invention; The Fear Chamber. It has since been added to On Demand and mainstream channels Youtube and Hulu.

The project has been in active development for a feature film, written by Robert Hall and Aaron Drane. The story has seen a shift from the series, however; instead of the episodic nature of the original show, the film will focus on a variety of phobias that all stem from one traumatic event.

Grammy award-winning music icon Corey Taylor, vocalist and frontman for rock bands Slipknot and Stone Sour, has joined the cast. Fear Clinic will see Taylor in the role of Bauer, one of the employees of the clinic who struggles to keep things under control when all Hell breaks loose.

Felisha Terrell (Days of Our LivesI) who wowed viewers with her recurring role as Kali on MTV’s Teen Wolf, will reunite with director Robert Hall as she joins Fear Clinic to take on the role of Osborn, a therapist at the clinic and second-in-command to Dr. Andover.

Also attached to the project is Brandon Beemer (Days of Our Lives, The Bold and the Beautiful) as Dylan, a famous moto-cross rider who will stop at nothing to protect his girlfriend from the darkness plaguing their lives.

These talents join previously-announced Fear Clinic cast Robert Englund, Fiona Dourif, Thomas Dekker, Kevin Gage, Cleopatra Coleman and Angelina Armani.

Fear Clinic is currently filming for a Halloween 2014 release."

Werewolf Rises Casting Details: "Bill Oberst Jr. has joined the cast of Ruthless Pictures’ Werewolf Rises.

The film, written and directed by BC Furtney, tells the story of Emma, a small town girl who returns to her childhood home deep in the Arkansas mountains only to encounter a sinister underworld that most never knew existed, one populated by bloodthirsty werewolves.

Of his role in the film, Oberst says, "since the days of Forrest J. Ackerman's Famous Monsters, I've longed to play classic monster roles like Chaney's Wolf Man and Karloff's Monster. With Werewolf Rises, Jesse Baget and BC Furtney are giving me a chance to check one of those off my list. This is my second project with Jesse Baget's Ruthless Pictures, after The Black Water Vampire, and I can tell you that this guy is growing to be a formidable force in the horror genre. I'm a fan of this script and am grateful for this role."

Melissa Carnell (Boggy Creek, Humans Versus Zombies) also joins the cast. Furtney says, “As we began bouncing around casting ideas, I just wasn't seeing it - until Melissa Carnell's name came up and a lightbulb went off. The character of Emma is a unique balancing act and Melissa's the virtual embodiment of her. I can't wait to get on set and watch her bring it to life.""

Werewolf Rises was directed and written by BC Furtney. It was produced by Jesse Baget.

Slay Utterly Casting and Production Details: "Filmmaker Stuart Wahlin announced horror icon Bill Oberst Jr. is attached to Slay Utterly, both as an actor and a producer. The film, to be shot in 2014, is a modern adaptation inspired by the Villisca (Iowa) ax murders of 1912, which were also the subject of Wahlin’s 2013 documentary, The Ax Man Enigma, which built a compelling case pointing to a lone “Ax Man” being responsible for dozens of eerily-similar murders throughout the nation’s heartland during a two-year period.

Slay Utterly will be the writer-director’s second feature film. Wahlin’s first narrative feature, Hand of Glory (2012), earned the filmmaker “Best Director’ at the Prairie State Film Festival in Chicago last year, and “Best Actress” for Heather Dorff (Truth or Dare, What They Say).

“Bill is much more than just a horror actor,” Wahlin said of his film’s star. “He’s a tremendously-talented artist who’s going to win an Oscar someday. Though I think his fans will get what they expect from him, this a film that gives Bill a little more depth to flex his acting prowess in a very conflicted, sympathetic role.”

Indie Spotlight Q&A with Hannah Cowley from Haunting of the Innocent

By Jonathan James

Thanks for taking the time to talk with us, Hannah. You seem to be involved in quite a few horror projects lately. Why are you drawn to these types of projects in particular?

Hannah: Thanks for having me! I have shot a few horrrors this year and honestly have no idea why they’ve come my way with such a fury; you never really know what’s running through the casting director’s mind... however, with ‘Haunting of the Innocent' I felt that of all roles I’ve ever gone for it was probably a logical fit. My friends were looking at me thinking “er, pale Viking witch? Another case of typecasting!” Half of my family are Scottish and descended from a clan in the very remote, northern Isle of Skye, and cooincidentally, I have a few Old Norse songs stuck in my head from school so right off the bat it was a role I was fascinated by and felt naturally inclined toward.

I’m extremely grateful that director Matt Hish fought really hard for me to play ‘Beyla’! Acting in horror really embraces the gamut of extreme emotions, which is always challenging and exciting - but it’s pretty grim if you have to be a victim, which are the roles most women in horror get lumped with. It’s funny, a lot of actors covet those roles but I’d take a perpetrator anyday, and that was definitely part of the reason I was drawn to ‘Beyla.’

Can you tell us about your interest in horror movies growing up? I understand one of your favorite movies is The Wicker Man. (Mine as well!)

Hannah: Ha, it’s the best isn’t it?! What really excited me about ‘Haunting of the Innocent’ was during one of the first meetings with Hish he gave me these references as a guide: ‘The Wicker Man’ (original), ‘Let The Right One In’ and ‘The Shining’. I nearly screamed when he mentioned ‘The Wicker Man’- literally one of my favorite films ever. The best horrors for me are naturalistic; one of the first films I ever loved was ‘The Omen’ and I didn’t realize it was a “horror” film; it’s so utterly cinematic and I suppose my view of what “horror” signified was mainly slasher stuff, which I occassionally watch now - because they’re funny (except growing up I was terrified of Freddy Krueger: the apotheosis of childhood fear!).

I definitely prefer psychological horror films, Polanski/some Michael Powell/Hitchcock - and just to be completely contradictory - 70s Italian Giallos. My father is a great Giallo afficianado, we find the most bombastic titles for each other to watch, personal favourite: “Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key” with the stunning Edwige Fenech. Probably the most masterful, horror- filled film I’ve seen (to add to an obsessively long list of war films) is ‘Come and See’ (1985) by Elem Klimov - it’s easily more terrifying, anxiety-inducing and sickening than probably any ‘fictional’ horror I could imagine. Real life horror. It’s quite hard to find but I think I got mine at Amoeba in Hollywood - highly recommended for anyone who hasn’t seen it!

We recently covered Haunting of the Innocent in our Indie Spotlight. What can you tell us about your role in the film?

Hannah: I play ‘Beyla,’ a 1000 year old Viking witch who has deep familial roots in Thornby, where she has been more or less anchored for the millenium. She may or may not try and seduce every cast member over the age of fifteen while executing diabolical plans to honor the Viking gods. She is essentially the catalyst for all of the disturbing events which unfold for Brenda and her family and gets very intertwined with them, to devastating effect. This is where ‘The Wicker Man’ influence comes in again... I wanted to get a fair bit of ‘Lord Summerisle’ (Christopher Lee) into ‘Beyla.’ Although she sacrifices an ‘innocent’ every generation and perpetrates some pretty dark affairs on Brenda’s family, I didn’t perceive her to be “evil.” She is a protector of her kind and one of the last agents of a powerful, loving and ancient belief system. She doesn’t see sacrifice as murder, just a necessary gifting to the earth, part of the natural cycle. I think ‘The Wicker Man’ portrayed this realism so perfectly - I always loved the way the villagers in Summerisle were so frank and gleeful about Rowan Morrison turning into a hare, and the orgiastic, genuine exhilaration of the women as they prepared for the Harvest. And who can forget Britt Ekland’s wall-banging dance of beauty? Unfortunately, we didn’t do that in ‘Haunting’ but some weird stuff does happen in the forest, with unclothed people.

Hish did extensive research for the Viking storyline and the ritual sacrifices which was really cool, we’d send each other streams of obscure, bloody Viking tales. It’s interesting, the idea of human sacrifice is obviously abhorrent to us now, but in some parts of Northern Europe there were Blots (sacrifices) up until the beginning of last century. Researching that blew my mind - as cars proliferated in cities and WW1 cranked into gear, people were still doing these ritual sacrifices...pretty fascinating and bizarre. It’s not hard to imagine that somewhere it’s practised to this day. Based on that I didn’t feel we were telling a hokey story for the sake of being horrifying. Fact is invariably stranger than fiction, for me at least! Makes you think of Shakespeare: “There is nothing good nor bad but thinking makes it so” - though I’m not sure if the audience for ‘Haunting’ will be so ambivalent! There’s probably a lot of hatred coming ‘Beyla’s way!

What kind of preparation did you do for the role of Beyla in Haunting of the Innocent?

Hannah: There was a substantial amount of physical, language and research preparation that we all did. A lot of fight choreography with spears... I thought I was extremely fit but charging around with a spear for 6 hours was pretty demoralizing! Amazing to learn. It was written that ‘Beyla’ passionately recites Nordic incantations so I learnt a five-page monologue in Old Norse which was intimidating - I learnt it phonetically with the help of tapes from native Norwegian/Swedish speakers from USC. It was difficult so I had to sort of approach it like music, find melodies within it in order to remember it, give it muscle memory. I was initially agonizing over the dialect but Hish determined that as it’s a dead language, ‘Beyla’ should speak with an accent that is partly based in Scandinavian intonations and partly based in fantasy.

After I’d listened to the tapes to death, I was being fairly blase thinking that we’d shoot the monologue in pieces or perhaps entirely through ADR so I was in for a bit of a shock when we got to Paso Robles and found out I had to do the lot in its entirety. I was sharing a room with (co-star) Jessica Morris and she probably wanted to talk to her boyfriend on the phone and I was like “sorry, I’m just going to be repeating an ultra violent war ballad in a dead language for the next four hours - do you mind?!” Thankfully she was pretty awesome about it, and luckily the real groundwork breaking down the rhythms had been done.

When it came to the actual filming, was it a make-up intensive part? What can you tell us about your experience on-set?

Hannah: The majority of the time ‘Beyla’ is a young woman in her twenties and although her fashion sense may be a little peculiar, her face is largely make-up free and natural. So all of that shooting was really, blessedly easy - if anything I would harrass the make-up department for more! By the time she transitions though we went through full prosthetics, teeth, contacts, fingernails, vaseline and dirt rubbed from head to toe...moderately painful! Especially trying to get it off after 15 hours of shooting! The biggest time-intensive factor was ‘Beyla’ could go from natural to Viking filth to Demon and back several times in the course of a day.

On-set everyone is racing around conserving time and trying to pull out the best of every minute; we shot the entire film in 17 days up in Paso - that was pretty challenging because you end up losing elements you love that you literally don’t have time to shoot. The long Old Norse monologue scene may have been one of the ones where things got cut - I haven’t seen the finished version so I don’t know how much made the film but it was a crazy scene, lots of extras and lots of gore. The amazing costume designer Camille Jumelle had dressed me in a delicate, ornate, century-old ex-Warner Brothers cape and I was desperately trying not to mess it up with blood - when cast and crew members go above and beyond the last thing you want to do is screw it up!

It always makes such a difference shooting with an inspiring crew and we had a lot of fun; so many notable moments, including the time (actor) Flood Reed braved a broken rib and a blackout to keep on shooting the fight sequence in 100 degree heat, clad in wool and leather: hero! When someone sets the bar that high there’s nothing you can do except go to craft services, eat a lot of Nutella, and hide. I think we were all inspired by Paso as well, it lent an eerily sympatico vibe to the shoot - it was originally settled by Scandinavians so there are Scandinavian names everywhere, and an eery amount of Ydraggsil motifs scattered through town. Astonishing.

We haven't heard too much about The Atticus Institute, but the premise sounds interesting and I understand you appear in the movie as well. What can you tell us about the movie and your role?

Hannah: I knew virtually nothing about it until I was standing on set but it stars the insanely talented Rya Kihlstedt and William Mapother. I could be wrong but I believe it’s Peter Safran’s first film after ‘The Conjuring’ - so you can imagine the tone it’s going to take, speaking of naturalism! I’m very excited to see it, it’s an utterly unique and ambitious film. It was directed by writer/director Chris Sparling who is just the calmest, smartest and most trusting director. Knowing he had written the script I think we were all tip-toeing around trying to be word perfect and he was like “forget that, just say what you want to say!” Of course that terrified me and I was probably speechless from that point on.

It’s unlike any film I’ve ever been part of, and all the effects were practical so when you see massive reactions from us in the film -they were real, 100%. You really feel the magic of filmmaking when there are practical effects; we shot in the ultra creepy Linda Vista Hospital which is notorious for being genuinely haunted. I spent the whole time there being genuinely freaked out by what we were doing, I think the majority of us did - suffice to say I’ve never experienced that before. Not sure how much I can say about the role I play but it’s Susan Gorman, a young scientist at The Atticus Institute, a Pennslylvania based psychology lab exploring telekinesis.

2013 has been extremely busy for you. What are you plans for 2014? Do you have any additional horror roles coming up?

Hannah: I’m about to start shooting a mysterious, dark film where I get to play a mermaid. That’s a bit of a dream! Then I’m shooting a film called ‘Isolation’ in February directed by Doug Rath who is definitely a young director to watch. I did a horror/thriller/dark comedy with him earlier this year - in a tiny part - called ‘Shock Value.’ Not sure when that one is coming out but I’m really excited about working with Doug again, he has a singularly unique voice as a filmmaker and I’m excited about this particular script, it’s a very dark thriller with a bit of the old ultra violence and surrealism thrown in so it’s going to be an interesting ride. After that it’s back to the old murder gloves for a crime/horror called ‘Alex In The Afternoons’ - it has a number of giallo elements, and most of it will shoot in and amongst various canal-cities in Europe like Venice and Amsterdam - and hopefully Ljubljana - so I’m very excited about that one.

For our readers interested in following you online, can they find you on Twitter and/or Facebook?

Hannah: Eek, I’m naturally adverse to social media but I was recently compelled (i.e peer-pressured) to start a Twitter. I probably have negative 15 followers right now. As you can tell from this interview, brevity isn’t a strongpoint. I have little idea what to do with 160 letters/characters or whatever...it’s a brave new world of character assassination. Sorry, as you can tell, if I’m forced to voice my thoughts aloud...things are going to get weird.

[Editor's Note: Here are more details on Haunting of the Innocent]

“Director Matt Hish (The Blackout) and distributors Uncork’d Entertainment are pleased to release the official DVD artwork and release date for The Haunting of the Innocent.

Their strange and violent encounter with the supernatural leads them down a path full of ancient legends.
