The
list of names appearing in the upcoming SATAN
HATES YOU continues to grow with the addition of Michael
Berryman (THE HILLS HAVE EYES, THE DEVIL'S
REJECTS ) and Debbie
Rochon (TERROR FIRMER, TROMEO AND JULIET)
to the cast.
SATAN
HATES YOU, inspired by films from the golden age of religious
"scare" cinema, is the latest feature film from producer
Larry Fessenden's Glass Eye Pix and writer/director James Felix
McKenney's MonsterPants Movies. Shooting is scheduled to be
finished in late June.
"We're
all pretty excited to be working with Michael Berryman."
says the director. "I know people say that all of the time
about this actor or that one, but it's true! He was in ONE FLEW
OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, for heaven's sake!" McKenney adds,
"He's playing a somewhat comedic role in our film. It was
actually an inspired casting suggestion on the part of co-star
Angus Scrimm. Michael was the perfect choice and we're thrilled
that he wanted to do it."
Berryman
called the script "A lot of fun" and that his role
as an eccentric innkeeper as "Smart and clever."
Scream
Queen Debbie Rochon has appeared in over 150 films and is the
co-host of Fangoria Radio show on Sirius satellite radio. "This
will be a unique film which will have it's own special message
for many people out there that are looking for something new.
It's also been a dream to work not only on a project that includes
Angus Scrimm and Reggie Bannister, the two lead actors from
the PHANTASM film series, but also our New York indie film hero
Larry Fessenden who is no stranger to making horror movies with
messages himself!" Rochon recently told Fangoria.
Also
making an appearance in SATAN HATES YOU is Max
Brooks, bestselling author of THE ZOMBIE SURVIVAL
GUIDE and WORLD WAR Z.
"This
is by far the largest cast that I've ever worked with and we're
not through adding people! Luckily we have a lot of friends
on board as well as actors who are known for being easy to work
with and for being real team players." says Mckenney.
The
acting talent in the film is led off by MonsterPants regular
Don Wood (CANNIBALLISTIC!, THE OFF SEASON)
and Christine Spencer (AUTOMATONS).
Also featured are Angus Scrimm (PHANTASM,
TV's ALIAS), Reggie Bannister (PHANTASM,
BUBBA HO-TEP), producer Larry Fessenden
