Now in pre-production: TALES OF DRACULA!

TALES OF DRACULA is a new independent film featuring three classic cinematic movie monsters: Dracula, The Wolfman, and Frankenstein's Monster! Intended to be a throwback to the classic monster movies created by Universal and Hammer Films, TALES OF DRACULA will deliver the typical genre elements, but brings a few new things to the table in regards to its mon-stars.

Originally intended to be a short film/pilot in the same vein as TALES OF FRANKENSTEIN, the original script, written by actor/producer/monster suit actor Joe DeMuro, has since been beefed up considerably by author/classic horror fan Dwight Kemper.

Along with special makeup f/x by the talented Ronald Chamberlain (who created the title monster in DEMON MESSENGER), this looks to be a good ole-fashioned monster romp made by classic horror fans, for classic horror fans. (And to answer your main questions, yes the film will be shot in black and white!)

Currently, the only thing missing from this winning combination is a complete cast. The producers are looking for a few good men (and women) to fill in some roles, particularly that of DRACULA. With that said, if you have any acting experience and live in Northeast, PA/The Southern Tier of NY, why not drop by the next casting call for TALES OF DRACULA? Full details for said casting call can be found below:


I've been following this film from its inception and I have to say that I have high hopes for it. The second draft of the script (which I just polished off) is fun and definitely has that old Universal feel, and there's a lot of talent behind the cameras on this project. Once the cast is nailed down, TALES OF DRACULA is set to go into production hopefully by the end of March.
