A journalist and aspiring singer aims to find answers as to whether the "27 Club" actually exists, and it may have eternal consequences. Patrick Fogarty's The 27 Club will be released on VOD on April 23rd, and we have a look at the official trailer and poster for the rock ’n roll horror movie.

"Cleopatra Entertainment has set a release date for their production THE 27 CLUB, a supernatural rock ’n roll horror-thriller directed by Patrick Fogarty and written by Joe Flanders, Fogarty, and Michael Lynn. The film features multi-platinum recording artist/producer and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee Todd Rundgren in his feature film debut (partially-filmed at a real indie record store - Record Surplus - in Los Angeles) alongside Maddisyn Carter, John Hennigan, Eugene Henderson, Zach Paul Brown, and Gogo Lomo-David. Executive Produced by Brian Perera and produced by David Sterling, Kelly Decker, Tim Yasui, and Ken Tighe, THE 27 CLUB premieres on Tuesday, April 23rd worldwide on all VOD platforms.

Why did Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain all die at the age of 27? When an aspiring singer and a journalism student seek answers to the notorious curse of the so-called "27 Club,” they find themselves trapped in an evil underworld that takes artists’ souls as payment for eternal fame.

"A lot of friends and family have suggested that I would make good movie villain,” says the music legend, Todd Rundgren, about his debut. “I thought, ‘OK, as long as I’m a handsome villain like Dracula or something.’ Turns out my debut is not quite that. Still, you have to start somewhere and a slobbering ghoul, though not handsome, certainly should satisfy anyone interested in my villainous side”

THE 27 CLUB will also be released in a limited-edition BLU RAY/DVD/CD Soundtrack format packaged in a gorgeous, six-panel Digi-Pak on June 11th, 2019. The Soundtrack includes original songs by EVANTE, KNOX, JÜRGEN ENGLER (DIE KRUPPS), GERI-X and TODD RUNDGREN with TRENT REZNOR. A stand-alone Vinyl version of the Soundtrack will also be released thru Cleopatra’s music division, Cleopatra Records.

    Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.

    The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
