“Tales From The Dead Zone” releasing in 2020
Corey Feldman and Bret Hart star in the upcoming Horror anthology movie “Tales From The Dead Zone” set to release in early 2020.
Corey Feldman.
And Bret “The Hitman” Hart*.
Are starring in a movie together.
Now, I know what you may be thinking. Is there a trailer for this film available? You bet there is! And boy, is it… two minutes of film.
What did I just watch?
According to IMDb, the synopsis of the film is as follows: ” A Medical Examiner conducting autopsies on victims of a horrible car crash, imagines how they may have lived their lives. Stories in the Anthology include, Legend of the Peoples Demon, Rope a Dope, Inside the Room, and L.J.’s Finest Hour. ” Offering a sort of Tales From The Crypt or The House That Dripped Blood connected story by the end. Feldman appears to be our “Crypt Keeper”, the curator of these stories, and the clips in the trailer are presumably intros between them. Only missing the signature cackle, at least for the time being.
It’s significant to note that Bret Hart plays Private Investigator Tom Jenkings, and is also the only leading actor not playing a character who’s name isn’t their real name. But, after that trailer, it’ll be difficult to remember his name as anything but “One Man Wrecking Crew”.
Cast & Crew
Beyond Corey Feldman and Bret Hart, Gabriel Jarret is credited among the leading actors who may be known for his appearances in popular series’ such as The West Wing, 21 Jump Street, and Party of Five. The writer and director, Barry J. Gillis has provided both roles for films including Things (1989) and The Killing Games (2012). The soundtrack to the film is provided by none other than Corey Feldman himself via his band, Corey’s Angels, and one of the credited tracks, “Duh!”, can be heard below.
Well then…
Bret Hart was one of my favorite WWF wrestlers as a kid, and that alone caught my attention. However, this film seems to have its work cut out for it to impress audiences based on the information presented, but it’s not entirely out of the question. No matter how unlikely it may seem. It could be self-aware, campy horror that trudges through tropes and laughs at itself. Leading up to writing this article, I had convinced myself that the tagline for this film was “What’s the worst that could happen?”, it’s actually “The Nightmare has just begun…”. I was wrong, but I think I was close. But, I can confidently say that I’ll be watching Tales From The Dead Zone almost as soon as it’s available. My expectations?
Stay tuned to Haunted MTL for all of your Horror news and updates, and for my inevitable review when Tales releases in 2020.

If you live in the United States, it’s time to rock the vote for real. I shared this video before in conjunction with my identity-based costume work, and I feel it’s important to revisit now, with the election coming up in just a few days. Besides which, Jack Black and Tenacious D are brilliant and given the current political climate, who doesn’t want to do the time warp? But seriously, get out and rock the vote, your life kinda does depend on it (at least insomuch as being able to make for yourself the life that you want, without the government telling you how to do so – especially if you live on the fringes of socially acceptable awkwardness like me and so many of my friends).
Besides which, this video is so good, it’s worth sharing again anyway. And again, if for some reason the video doesn’t load, you can find it here.
Art Attack
And here are some artworks I made awhile back as political commentary. The photograph was shot of the scene exactly as found, of a sign above a parking lot in a quickly gentrifying neighborhood making sure all knew that any unauthorized vehicles were unwelcome, and hung right in front of a flag that was tattered and torn from being caught on the chain link fence driving the point home. The flags were meant to be interactive, with gallerygoers waving them while singing The Star Spangled Banner in its elitist entirety. The whole really spoke to me regarding some of the political climate at the time (this was right before Trump was elected President the first time). How much has changed since then? In some ways, a lot. In other ways, I guess we shall see.
