Check out the new trailer for Danzig's "cult classic" horror film Verotika.
From the moment they first saw stills from it, fans were excited to see Verotika, the debut film from Misfits frontman Glenn Danzig. Becoming an "instant cult classic" during its first showing -- coming off as a so-bad-it's-good midnight movie rather than a serious, gripping journey into terror -- has only excited fans more to see it. Now, the first NSFW trailer for the film has been released via EW, and man, it's pretty insane.
As you'll see in the trailer, the film takes on three storylines from Danzig's late-'90s comic book imprint Verotik. There's The Drujka, a story about a Bathorian blood countess; The Albino Spider of Dajette, which tells the tale of a woman with eyes for nipples summoning an ancient spider demon; and Change Of Face, a tale of face-ripping.

Check out the full trailer here, but fair warning: gore, horror, and sexual overtones abound.
Verotika will be available via VOD platforms on February 25, and will be released as a 3-disc DVD on March 3.
And this is just the beginning: Danzig recently revealed that he's just finished up his next film, a vampire spaghetti western starring Devin Sawa (Idle Hands, The Fanatic), currently titled Death Rider In The House Of Vampires.
“We just finished my vampire spaghetti western,” the singer told audiences in Philadelphia. "It’s much different [from Verotika], of course, because there’s no comic book to follow. So we had pretty free rein in the movie…All the characters have like a traditional vampire name and a traditional western name…A lot of guest cameos in it — some friends of mine came in and did some cameos in the movie. It’s, again, based on the European cinema.”
“The Italians loved American westerns so much, they started doing their own westerns,” elaborated Danzig. “And they got Clint Eastwood and Henry Fonda and a bunch of other actors — Charles Bronson — to come over and do these wild Italian westerns. And we eventually started calling them spaghetti westerns. In mine, everybody’s a vampire. So you don’t have to wait around to see the vampire — everybody’s a vampire. You don’t have to wait around to see blood — you’re gonna see lots of blood.”
