Fangoria Sets Director Chelsea Stardust For Horror Comedy ‘Satanic Panic’
Fangoria is back, and in addition to new issues of the classic horror magazine, the beloved genre company will be producing new movies. Theyjust released a trailer forPuppet Master: The Littlest Reich, and now they’ve set directorChelsea Stardustto direct a brand new horror-comedy calledSatanic Panic.Deadlinefirst reported the details, including the description that the film’s plot follows “a pizza delivery girl at the end of her financial rope who has to fight for her life — and her tips — when her last order of the night turns out to be high society Satanists in need of a virgin sacrifice.” ProducerDallas Sonnier(Bone Tomahawk) seems to be setting the bar pretty high:
Stardust just made her feature directorial debut on a movie calledAll That We Destroy, which we haven’t seen yet. She’s still a bit of a question mark, but this movie has a terrific premise and I’m looking forward to seeing her work some magic with it.
Sonnier will produce alongsideAmanda PresmykandAdam Goldworm(Masters of Horror), while Fangoria’sPhil Nobile Jr. andAdam Donagheyare set to executive produce.Mohawkco-writersGrady HendrixandTed Geogheganreunited to craft the story for this film, and Hendrix wrote the script.Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich’sTate Steinsiekwill handle the special effects; his previous credits include mainstream fare likeThe Amazing Spider-Manand more gruesome work on movies like S. Craig Zahler’s upcoming filmDragged Across Concrete.
Also worth noting:Satanic Panicwill be the second pizza delivery-related horror film in recent memory, because A24 has aChance the Rapper-led movie calledSlicecoming out…well, uh, sometime soon. (The distributor has been very secretive about a release date for that one.)
Casting has already begun and filming begins in two months in Texas, so I imagine we’ll be hearing more about this one soon.
