Camp Dread director unites horror icons for Death House

That's right, our pal Harrison Smith has brought together Robert England, Danny Trejo, Dee Wallace, Doug Bradley and a many, many more of horror's familiar faces for an upcoming fright film that should please any genre fan.

Long-time listeners and readers will remember Harrison has the man behind 6 Degrees of Hell and Camp Dread, two flicks Shawn and I enjoyed. And he was responsible for us interviewing Corey Feldman and Eric Roberts, which are high marks in Basement history.

Now Harrison has Death House in the works, which is based on a script by the late Gunnar Hansen, who, of course, is best known for playing Leatherface in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Harrison, and I assume Hansen, got so many horror stars to sign on that this flick is a must see! Check it: Camille Keaton (I Spit on Your Grave), Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead), Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator), Kane Hodder (Hatchet, Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood), Bill Moseley (House of 1000 Corpses) and Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes).

Impressive, no? Oui!

The flick is currently in pre-production with a release date scheduled for some time next year. What's it about? According to IMDb, a secret government facility becomes ground zero for the most horrific prison break in the history of mankind.

Stick with us, as we'll keep you posted on this project as it develops.

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
