With the new slasher style horror Pitchfork selected to play at the Horror-on-Sea Film Festival on Friday 19th January. I got chance to ask actor Daniel Wilkinson about; preparing to play the role of Ben Holister Jr. / Pitchfork, what makes his character stand out so much in the genre as a horror icon and his favourite scene in the film.
What can we expect from the film Pitchfork?
This generation’s horror film. It’s an homage that plays to millennials.
Can you tell me a little bit about your character?
There’s a lot more behind the mask. The subtleties. The story behind the story to really shape the trilogy.
How did you become involved in the film?
Nicole Dambro put in a good word for me. I spoke with Glenn Packard (the Director) and loved how much passion and soul he was bringing to it. Realised I was...

Debuting filmmaker Glenn Douglas Packard tries mightily to create a new iconic horror film villain with the title character in his low-budget effort about a maniacal killer sporting a pitchfork for a hand and wearing an animal-fur mask. Alternately registering as an homage and rip-off of the countless slasher pics that have preceded it, Pitchfork is a strictly disposable affair.
The director and co-scripter Darryl F. Gariglio at least attempt to provide some thematic depth to the tale revolving around Hunter (Brian Raetz), a young man who returns to his rural Michigan home after informing his parents and sister that...

I love slasher films. I always have. In fact, I would say that it is the slasher, more than almost any other subgenre, that has defined me as a horror fan. As a fan, my reverence for these oft-maligned films knows no bounds and I find great comfort in revisiting them over and over.
However, as a film-maker, the prospect of actually making a slasher film terrifies me. As much as I want to believe that there is new ground just waiting to be broken, I struggle to see what can still be done with the slasher film. I approach every new entry with the hope that I will find something new, something that...

An eye-opening, or should I say door-opening, Q&A with the director of Never Open the Door courtesy of our very own Derek Anderson kicks off today's Horror Highlights! Also, we have trailers for both Pitchfork and Red Hollow and a call for submissions for Popcorn Fright Film Festival 2017.
Never Open the Door Q&A: Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Vito. When did you first come up with the idea for Never Open the Door?
Vito Trabucco: Thanks for having me. The idea first came from Chris Maltauro, my producer and co-writer, our camera operator Mike Bates, and me one night in a parking lot when we wrapped on another shoot. A few months prior I completed my first feature, Bloody Bloody Bible Camp. We were just eager to do another one.
