A few weeks back Netflix announced it would be collaborating with renowned horror filmmaker Roger Corman ("Little Shop of Horrors," "Pit and the Pendulum") on a series of Internet Webisodes entitled Splatter, scheduled to debut two days before Halloween (that's tomorrow!). Anyone in America can instantly watch the Webisodes at www.netflix.com/splatter. In a plot twist, Mr. Corman, making his Internet video debut at age 83, is opening up the creative direction of the series by asking the public to vote on the fate of its characters. Beyond the break you'll find the first clip teasing tomorrow's debut. Corey Feldman and Tony Todd star in the shorts directed by Joe Dante (Gremlins)!
"Entitled "Splatter," the Webisodes were conceived and produced by Mr. Corman, co-produced by Julie Corman ("Box Car Bertha," "The Westing Game"), directed by horror auteur Joe Dante ("Gremlins," "The Howling") and star Corey Feldman ("Lost Boys," "Stand By Me") in the title role of rocker Johnny Splatter. The first episode of "Splatter" will launch on October 29, with the second installment scheduled for November 6 and the concluding episode slated for November 13 – yes, Friday the 13th.
"Splatter" is the haunting tale of rock-and-roll legend Johnny Splatter, a musical genius who accumulated as many hit records as he did enemies on his climb up the fame ladder. His sudden death, ruled a suicide, brings a small circle of professional parasites and hangers-on to his Hollywood Hills mansion for the reading of his last will and testament. But as his "frenmies" come to pick the bones clean, Johnny has returned for a deadly encore long after what they thought was his final curtain.
Corey Feldman will be guest tweeting from the Netflix Twitter account (www.twitter.com/netflix) from 11 am – noon PT tomorrow, October 29 to chat with fans and answer questions about Splatter.
