Blood Night at Monster Mania 11!

I keep hearing about Blood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchet in that strange way that a film’s title will become implanted in your brain without you really understanding why. So I guess it was inevitable we mention it in these pages, eh?

The film’s creators just dropped us a line with word that the opening scene of Blood Night will be on display at this weekend’s Monster Mania convention in Cherry Hill, NJ (home of Harold & Kumar’s White Castle), where Nomad & I will be kicking ass and taking names all weekend. A Blood Night panel featuring director Frank Sabatella, producer Frank Mosca, makeup man Jeremy Selenfriend and stars Danielle Harris, Samantha Hahn and Nate Dushku is scheduled for Saturday, where the footage will debut.

Blood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchet is about a group of teens (groan) celebrating the titular annual festivities when they come face to face with the legendary Mary and her evil ways. You can dig the slick trailer below, make friends with them on MySpace and hit the official Blood Night site to learn more!

In other MM11 news, there will also be a screening of Dario Argento's latest, Mother of Tears, so if you missed its brief theatrical run, this'll be your chance to see it right! Hope we see you there this weekend, suckas!
