The gap of time between The Convent release and The Gravedancers (review) is one that had some fans puzzled, but as will be made clear in my audio interview with the man, Mendez is a guy who just doesn’t give up. Different studios, numerous budget promises and finally a "fuck it, we’ll do it ourselves" attitude is what took The Gravedancers so long to make it to the big screen, but thanks to the After Dark HorrorFest, that’s just what’s happening this weekend. Click here or on the graphic below to listen in on my recent chat with Mendez, in which he discusses The Gravedancers, plans for his first film Killers, and what he hopes to happen with The Toolbox Murders 2 if it comes to fruition!
