Cult auteur Gregory Lamberson (Slime City, Killer Rack) celebrates his 40th year in independent film releasing the poster and proof-of-concept trailer for Frenzy Moon, the werewolf thriller he’s crowdfunding on Indiegogo.
Lamberson describes his screenplay as “John Carpenter’s The Thing meets The Howling”: Six college students and one mysterious stranger spend a terrifying night battling a pack of werewolves in an isolated cabin.
“It’s going to be intense and cinematic,” the writer-director says. “(Cinematographer) Chris Cosgrave and I plan to pull out all the stops. I’d hoped to direct this after Johnny Gruesome, but Widow’s Point came along, and then Covid shut everything down. Shooting a cabin-in-the-woods movie during the pandemic wasn’t feasible, so I made Guns of Eden instead. But I became a filmmaker to make monster movies.”
Lamberson plans to shoot his creature feature n Western New York this fall. Tamar Lamberson, Cosgrave, and Keith Lukowski co-produce, as they did on Guns of Eden.
David Tripet has signed on as executive producer. As a producer and production executive, Tripet oversaw such genre mainstays as The Arrival, Wishmaster, Leprechaun and Return of the Living Dead III.
John David Vincent will create the practical special effects, including an animatronic werewolf suit. Vincent worked for legendary stop motion animator David Allen for several years and built the 18” rod puppet glimpsed in the Frenzy Moon trailer.
Lamberson made his bones on such East coast indie horrors as I Was a Teenage Zombie, Plutonium Baby and Frank Henenlotter’s Brain Damage, and worked with indie icons Debbie Rochon, Lloyd Kaufman, Lynn Lowry, Fred Olen Ray, and Tiffany Shepis. He’s a member of the Producers Guild of America and International Thriller Writers, the author of 15 books, and recently launched Amazing Fantasy Fest to replace his long running Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival.
