Lucky McKee, director of notorious horror films such as
The Woman and
All Cheerleaders Die, has joined the horror anthology
Tales of Halloween. Production is already underway in Los Angeles.
"I'm delighted to be included with so many filmmakers I respect and admire," said Mckee". "The anthology format shows how pliable the horror genre is. Each artist on this project is stretching the possibilities to their limits. For die-hard horror fans and general audiences, this is sure to be an evergreen title for many Halloweens to come."
McKee joins a group of filmmakers who have dubbed themselves the October Society. The group includes Darren Lynn Bousman (
Saw II,
III &
IV), Axelle Carolyn (
Soulmate), Adam Gierasch (
Night of the Demons), Andrew Kasch (
Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy), Neil Marshall (
The Descent), Mike Mendez (
Big Ass Spider!), Dave Parker (
The Hills Run Red), Ryan Schifrin (
Abominable), John Skipp (
Stay at Home Dad), and Paul Solet (
Grace). Directors Kasch and Skipp are to co-direct one of the short films together.
Ten stories will be woven together by their shared theme of Halloween night in an American suburb, where ghouls, imps, aliens and axe murderers appear for one night only to terrorize unsuspecting residents.
