Harry Shannon has worn several hats in various fields of entertainment. He's been a music executive, working on films such as Terminator 2 and Basic Instinct; he works as an actor and screenwriter; and he is also an award-winning writer of novels and short stories. He took some time to talk to FEARnet about writing; filmmaking; music and The Hungry 3, the soon-to-be-released third novel in the popular Sheriff Penny Miller series.
You have a new book coming out, The Hungry 3. It's the third in the zombie novel series. What happens in this one?
If I told you that it would wreck the experience, not to mention cost us a sale! Seriously, the first two novels continued in sequence from the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse through to Sheriff Penny Miller and her friends fleeing what is left of the state of Nevada. The third book, The Hungry 3: At the End of the World,...

With Christian Ackerman’s short film Hell’s Belles having premiered this past Saturday, March 24th, in Hollywood, California, we thought we’d bring you a photo gallery from the red carpet invitation only event, as well as word on the audience’s response. Read on!
“The premiere was kick-ass!” said Hell’s Belles writer, director and editor Ackerman of the event, who along with producer Drina Durazo organized the premiere, which was co-sponsored by Dread Central. Held on the picturesque rooftop of the Cosmo Lofts Building overlooking Hollywood, the Hell’s Belles premiere kicked off with a red carpet, two open bars, hors d'oeuvres and appropriately rocking music spun by DJs Xalox B and DJ Devious prior to the screening.
“We had a huge turnout, and I was happy to unleash the Belles onto the world,” effused Ackerman. “I tried to make it an experience everyone would remember, and...

“The idea came to me a few years ago when I began writing a feature horror/comedy around a young female who drives a hearse,” writer, producer, and director Chris Ackerman told Dread last Saturday night on the set of his then-shooting short film Hell’s Belles. “The main character, ‘Adria Blackmoor’, lives a sheltered life as a morgue technician at her grandfather’s cemetery when unfortunately the gates of hell open, and she’s forced to battle a strange assortment of creatures to save her town.”
Hollywood being Hollywood, however, burgeoning filmmakers are keenly aware of the distinct lack of imagination most suits have during the pitching process (a manuscript seldom cuts it any longer in communicating one’s vision), so Ackerman, who previously served as an associate producer on Yossi Sasson’s 2008 horror feature Dead and Gone, took it upon himself to helm a shortened version of his script,...

Today posted an exclusive interview with Yossi Sasson, director of Dead And Gone, which is now available on DVD from Lionsgate. Actor Jack Wade takes his sick wife Frankie, a former Hollywood studio executive, to an isolated cabin in the mountains-a place where a man once murdered his entire family. Poor Jack was a kept man. Now he must care for Frankie alone, because they have run out of money. This dilapidated cabin is all they have left. The redneck father and son that live nearby are pretty eccentric, but seem harmless enough. Jack flirts with Kate Eidson, the local constable, a woman who has such bad memories of the war in Iraq she won't even carry a gun. Jack is a fish out of water. Everything in nature scares him. He starts to imagine things and comes to believe Frankie is up and moving around...
