AIR COLLISION Delivers Terror in the Skies in this First Trailer.

The first trailer for The Asylum’s AIR COLLISION has been released. In the clip, characters struggle to stay alive as electronics fail on both Air Force One and a civilian airliner. A solar flare has tripped up their circuit boards and now the planes will intersect on a collision course. Can the president be saved?

AIR COLLISION continues The Asylum’s long list of disaster films. From 2012: Ice Age to Meteor Apocalypse, The Asylum has been bringing terror to home video formats for twenty plus years now. Air Collision is an original production from The Global Asylum and this film continues a pattern of bringing disaster to cinema.

In the first trailer for Air Collision, Reginald VelJohnson (DIE HARD) plays an aircraft controller in a worst-case scenario. Jordan Ladd (CABIN FEVER) is an optimistic stewardess, while Dave Vescio stars as Eli a man hell bent on destroying the passenger’s confidence. Eli sees their death at 30,000 feet: “we are all going to die!” Meanwhile, the President of the United States (Andy Clemence) will have to decide if others can be sacrificed to keep Air Force One flying. Gerald Webb (ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE) and Kevin Yarbrough also star.

Bill Oberst Jr. battles vengeful spirits in The Asylum's 'A Haunting in Salem' 3D

The Asylum's 'A Haunting in Salem' is filming in Pasadena, California as we speak. The film is directed by horror veteran Shane Van Dyke who also helmed The Asylum's 'Paranormal Entity' (2009) and is written by first time script-writer H. Perry Horton who just happens to be the brain behind the Asylum-themed website Committed which is described as "one inmate's appreciation for the films of The Asylum". Natch.

The set-up for 'A Haunting in Salem'; the newly-arrived Sheriff in the small community of Salem, Massachusetts discovers he is the unwitting victim of a centuries old curse and must take steps to protect his family from a vengeful spirit who means his family harm. Well, honestly that's a very vague description but it has definite potential and I do love a good ghost chiller, some my favorite of the genre are 'The Changeling' (1980), 'The Fog' (1980), 'The Shining' (1980) 'Poltergeist' (1982) 'The Devil's Backbone' (2004) and if you haven't seen any of 'em stop reading and start watching immediately.

The male lead is none other than uber-creepy dude Bill Oberst Jr. ('Nude Nuns with Big Guns') as the sheriff , Wayne. Oberst is a great talent and a striking presence with a storied face and piercing blue eyes and is sure to knock it outta the park. My hat is off to the producer's of the film for the great casting.

Cast as the sheriff's wife is Courtney Abbiati from TV's 'How I Met Your Mother' and son Kyle is portrayed by newcomer Nicholas Harsin. I'm very pleased to say Harsin is a fellow Arizonan who graduated from the University of Arizona back in 2009. Harsin describes the films as "creepy as hell and is being shot old school, very few special effects, in a 200 year old mansion in Pasadena, CA."

Jenna Stone

The principal cast is rounded out by Jenna Stone (TV's 'Miss Behave') as daughter Ali and a veteran of The Asylum's 'Battle of Los Angeles' (2010) and 'Mega Shark Vs. Crocosaurus' (2010) Gerald Webb appears as Mayor Collins.

'A Haunting in Salem' is slated for a DVD release on August 23rd, 2011 and will include a 3D widescreen presentation, 5.1 surround sound and a making of featurette.

Actor Bill Oberst Jr. Prepares To Get HAUNTED And Shoot NAKED

Actor Bill Oberst Jr. is not only a  friend of the blog but one hell of a busy scary guy these days. He currently  has no less than four film projects in the works including the lead The Asylum's   spooky 3-D feature A HAUNTING IN SALEM. This guy is definitely making his presence known in the horror community in a big way. Oberst also appears in director Joseph Guzman's exploitation film NUDE NUNS WITH BIG GUNS (2010) which is a film I hope will get a  release sometime this year here in the states.

(Los Angeles) Actor Bill Oberst Jr. is preparing for back-to-back lead roles in major horror projects: The Asylum's 3-D feature A HAUNTING IN SALEM and Drew Daywalt's ambitious 18th century horror short NAKED.

A HAUNTING IN SALEM begins principal photography tomorrow (April 30) in Los Angeles. Oberst is cast in the lead role of a newly-arrived Sheriff in the community of Salem, Massachusetts. The film co-stars Courtney Abbiati, Jenna Stone and Nicholas Harsin. Asylum favorite Shane Van Dyke directs from a script by H. Perry Horton which spans in time from 1692 to the present.

Oberst jumps directly from wrap on A HAUNTING IN SALEM into the lead in Drew Daywalt's ensemble cast for NAKED, also starring Edin Gali of AMC's series MAD MEN, Maria Olsen of PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF and Gilbert Chavarria. The NAKED script by Daywalt, who recently wrapped production as director on season one episodes of MTV's upcoming horror series DEATH VALLEY, combines elements of Native American spiritual beliefs and Old World European superstitions to create a new mythology set in the New World of the early 1700's. A German settler (Oberst) enlists the help of his brother (Gali) and a Native American (Chavarria) to track down an Orc (Olsen) whom he blames for the death of his son.

Daywalt has enlisted big-name friends to help make the world of NAKED come to life. The film's Orc creature effects will be personally created by frequent Daywalt collaborator Jeff Farley (TROPIC THUNDER, BUFFY, BABYLON FIVE, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, etc) and digital effects will be by Peter Giliberti (SPIDERMAN films, WATCHMEN, PRIEST, etc.)

Set pic from The Bloodlet

Oberst is in the middle of a four-film horror streak; earlier this week he wrapped a cameo in J.R. McGarrity's feature film THE BLOODLET and a lead in Thomas Mentel's dark short OVERTIME. THE BLOODLET shoot, for which Oberst was a living, though decomposing, suicide victim, reconnected him with Dean Jones of American Make-Up and Effects. Jones was Oberst's make-up artist for director Michael Landon Jr.'s TV-movie THE SHUNNING, which recently aired on The Hallmark Channel with Oberst as the male lead, and Jone's protege Heather Galipo did the makeup honors for Oberst's spilled intestines on BLOODLET.

Set pic from Overtime

In writer/director Thomas Mentel's festival-bound short OVERTIME, Oberst plays a factory worker on a midnight shift who begins to see terrifying apparitions in the shadows around the machinery, including the ghost of his long-dead fiancee who wants an embrace; and an animalistic alter-ego of himself in a gas mask.
