October 23, 2014, 9 years ago
“Phil (Anselmo - Pantera, Down vocalist and festival co-founder) had asked me to come for a while, and we were available to do it this year and it's pretty cool. I like what Phil's doing,” said Glenn Danzig while speaking to Examiner.com about his participation in this year's Housecore Horror Film Festival in Austin, TX (which runs October 23rd to 26th at Emo’s and Midways).Danzig will perform at Emo’s on Sunday, with a diverse set that will thrill diehard fans: “They asked if we could do a Samhain set and a Danzig set… so I'm glad it worked out.”
On the horror movie front, he’s still working on his long-in-development directorial debut Ge Rouge (based on the comic of the same name from his Verotik line). “We’re still doing it. It's just in Hollywood you go from producer to producer… but it looks like it's actually really going to happen this time… and we asked the Soska sisters to direct a Verotika pic and they reacted very favorably to it.”
He’s also a big fan of The Walking Dead and has written a song to be used on a future episode and soundtrack. He even hinted he may appear on wrap-up show The Talking Dead.
But Danzig's main focus remains music, and he’s keeping busy. A new studio album is set for a fall 2015 release, and his long awaited covers album is due in March. Plus he’s working on an EP of Elvis covers.
