The Asylum

Starring Starring Bill Oberst Jr., Baby Norman, Jason Vail, Ronald Ogden, Don McGraw, Canon Kuipers Written and directed by Richard Schenkman

I’m starting to feel like The Asylum’s public relations person this week. My fourth Asylum story in seven days about their fourth new release in barely over a month, the sci-fi found footage shocker Alien Origin

A couple of days ago we broke the news that The Asylum was readying its first theatrical feature. Well, it's still happening; only now it has a bit of a different title. That's right, kids! Don't Hold Your Breath has become Hold Your Breath.

Just yesterday we finally got to read the plot synopsis for next summer’s Guillermo del Toro-directed giant monsters vs. giant robots blockbuster Pacific Rim. Today we find out that The Asylum is ready to strike back!

If someone were to ask you if The Asylum was ever going to make a theatrically released film, you’d probably respond, “Don’t hold your breath!” Turns out Don’t Hold Your Breath will be the title of their first ever big screen bound slasher flick starring “30 Rock” beauty Katrina Bowden.

This June Syfy is giving us a new creature feature every weekend. Are they saving the best for last when two 1970’s family show icons, a pair of classic rockers, and a “Twin Peaks” beauty join forces to stop Bigfoot?

The first teaser trailer for this summer’s The Haunting of Whaley House proves once more that ghost hunting should be left to professionals, preferably the pros wearing proton packs.

He’s photographed naked women for Roger Corman, made a movie called Mutant Vampire Zombies from the Hood!, helmed an Asylum mockbuster that spawned a major studio lawsuit, nearly made a mega blockbuster for a major studio, and, best of all, his name really is Thunder.

It looks like Universal scored a few hits in its lawsuit against The Asylum over the American Battleship mockbuster but have thus far failed to sink its battleship. Instead the movie has been rechristened American Warships, and Syfy will still air it one day after Battleship opens in US theaters.

Just how worried are the execs at Universal that their mega budget Battleship movie might sink at the box office? Apparently they’re worried enough that they’ve actually filed a lawsuit against The Asylum over its American Battleship mockbuster.

Say what you will about The Asylum, they seem to be on a roll in 2012. 2 Headed Shark Attack and Air Collision were both ridiculously entertaining, and the full trailer for Nazis at the Center of the Earth gives me hope the fun streak will continue.

We caught up recently with The Haunting of Whaley House writer and director Jose Prendes, who chatted with Dread openly about the production and also provided us with a handful of exclusive production stills from the now wrapped film. Read on for the skinny!

Time to add a little bit of spooky to your evening as we have the first look at actress Maria Olsen in make-up as one of the creepy inhabitants of a haunted residence in the new flick from The Asylum, The Haunting of Whaley House. Dig it!
