Doccumentary

It’s been a while since we’ve had a status update on Paul Davis’ Beware the Moon: Remembering An American Werewolf in London (review). Since it was announced back in June by director John Landis that the documentary would be a part of Universal’s upcoming Blu-ray release of the movie, little has come out in terms of details.

We just got our virutal hands on the final, official, this ain’t gonna change before release date artwork for Anchor Bay’s upcoming release of His Name Was Jason. Ain’t it pretty?

The highly anticipated documentary about all things Jason Voorhees, His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th, is finally all cut and ready to roll out for fans! We got a heads up today that the documentary will be premiering at the upcoming 2008 Starz Denver Film Festival as part of the festival’s celebration of soon-to-be classics, The Watching Hour.

Last week we told you guys that a new documentary was being made about the legacy of the Friday the 13th franchise called His Name Was Jason. At the time you may recall me mentioning that our own Steve “Uncle Creepy” Barton would be interviewed for the doc and, just to prove I’m not a big phony, we got the pics to prove it!

You might recall a news story we did a while back about a new documentary being put together called Lovecraft: Fear of the Unkown, all about the eponymous author’s life and history. All’s been quiet for a while regarding the doc, but finally we got some good news from one of its producers!

For the past year or so, the guys behind fellow horror site Icons of Fright have been working on a documentary about the history of Psycho and its sequels called The Psycho Legacy. It’s a passion project for the boys, as they’re all huge fans of the films, and I'm glad we can finally share some of it with you!

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from Paul Davis, the man behind the American Werewolf in London retrospective Beware the Moon, but suddenly we got an e-mail from the man yesterday with some very good news...

This weekend we got the word about a very cool new documentary in the works about Rhode Island’s favorite son, Mr. Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

Wow, check this out; it’s like stepping into the past by looking towards the future. Trippy, man.

We’ve been keeping you as up to date as we can on the new independently financed documentary on An American Werewolf in London called Beware the Moon. How we doing so far? Filmmaker Paul Davis is traveling all over to interview as many people involved with John Landis’ groundbreaking film as possible and so far he’s amassed a pretty impressive lineup.

We told you a while back about the documentary being shot on what it arguably one of the best films ever made, An American Werewolf in London. Director Paul Davis is going around the world, more or less, interviewing almost everyone that had anything to do with John Landis’ groundbreaking film and today he posted the first video proof of it!
