Just when one thought werewolves couldn’t get any groovier, Elijah Wood’s production company, SpectreVision, has found their next picture. Wrapping photography on Cooties, SpectreVision has turned its attention to Bad Vibes a script written by Dave Gebroe of Zombie Honeymoon. Even better is that while Gebroe will direct the picture, John Landis will executive produce.
As any horror aficionado should know, Landis wrote and directed what is arguably the best werewolf picture ever made (or at least in the last 70 years) with the 1981 classic An American Werewolf in London. Getting his approval is akin to having John Carpenter thumb up your masked serial killer story.
Bad Vibes will be set in the psychedelic rock scene of the late 1960s when a band by the name of Sunrise Majesty is infected by their free loving get-togethers. After a strange groupie infects the bandleader, he embraces the werewolf curse by turning his sound into something nihilistic, cynical and great for luring all his fans to a ranch where a free love party will become a place to spread death and the curse.
I am not sure if this is supposed to be funny, scary or both; however, they are clearly pulling from the visions of STDs, bad mojo ending the flower power era, and even possibly the shade of Manson.
This could be a wildly creative time.
