TERROR HOTTIES

Angela Bettis Part of Something Big

(Angela Bettis)

Okay…THIS is pretty awesome. Seems the terror hotties are starting to branch into comedy, as freaky little Angela Bettis (you’ll remember her from May, as well as Masters of Horror segment Sick Girl) will be in a couple of movies currently in the post-production stages. One is a film called Inheridance, which is still pretty short in the information department—IMDB doesn’t even have a reliable synopsis about it yet—but another one is much more informed.

It’s called Drones, and it’s one of those office comedy / romance / dramas that you see every so often ever since Mike Judge kicked our asses with Office Space and Dilbert made it big. And not only is Angela Bettis in it, but it is being at least partially directed by Amber Benson.

Now I’m amazed. Really. Angela Bettis acting and Amber Benson directing an Office Space-esque comedy? Tell me that’s not something to get excited about! The rest of the cast is another reason to be cheery and includes names like The Venture Brothers’ own Doctor Rusty Venture, James Urbaniak.

No word yet on street dates, but it can’t be soon enough as far as I’m concerned.

Another Sweet Halloween Event Happening Well Before Halloween

For those among my readership who both live in Chicago and think that either Angela Bettis or Anna Faris is a choice terror hottie, you might well have missed a real treat. Live in Chigao at Music Box Massacre 4, you could’ve gotten in on a lineup of movies that includes one of your personal favorites—May.

I liked May myself, not least of all because Bettis and Faris are skilled actresses who turned out to make great terror hotties in the process. Sure, the thought of sewing together a friend from bits and pieces and spare parts is plenty creepy, and Bettis and Faries were just the duo to make it even creepier.

Better, this was just one part of a twenty-four hour movie marathon that I wish I’d known about sooner, but that adds yet another question to a growing concern of mine—what, precisely, is the deal with all these interesting Halloween events going on on NOT HALLOWEEN? Seems like even when the day hits on the weekend, as it does this year, all the big Halloween parties and costume contests and whatnot are set up for the previous weekend. I don’t know why that is, and I can’t even begin to speculate as it makes no sense.

Angela Bettis’ next movie

The name “Angela Bettis” may not carry a whole lot of weight with you, but you may be more familiar with her work than you realize. If you remember the movie May, about the psycho girl who builds herself a human friend out of a grotesque array of spare parts, or the Masters of Horror episode Sick Girl, then you remember Angela Bettis. And yes, she definitely qualifies as a horror hottie.

So what does she have waiting for us, you ask? Not too hard—a little production called “Wicked Lake”, slated for release in 2008. The movie itself is about a party of four co-eds off for a quiet weekend at the lake, while unbeknownst to them, two groups of horrible bloodthirsty monstrosities are waiting for them. And all this builds up to a raging climax at midnight when, apparently, all hell will break loose. Even an appearance from B-movie quasi-legend Tim Thomerson of Dollman fame will show up to spark up the proceedings.

And of course, this sounds like it could be a real donnybrook, especially if the girls end up fighting the two groups of monstrosities. Further operating as a plus is at least one horror hottie in the form of Angela Bettis.
