Stories like this one are why I love writing for Dread Central. Where else could we learn about a movie called The Disco Exorcist?!?
From the Press Release:
Scorpio Film Releasing is proud to announce that their next production will be The Disco Exorcist, a blood-soaked tale of revenge, sex, black magic, disco dancing, and mountains of cocaine. New England genre film director Richard Griffin takes on his bloodiest, sexiest film yet with a production so lurid that only a rating of Nc-17 will suffice.
As with Griffin’s spot-on genre throwback Nun of That and Beyond the Dunwich Horror, The Disco Exorcist promises to be a pitch perfect representation of the 1970’s exploitation genre. "In this age of soulless state-of-the-art, 3D, IMAX CGI-laden 'filmmaking', we thought it would be exciting to bring the art of cinema back to its most basic. Film. Real film ... with grain and scratches, warts and all.

Scorpio Film Releasing and director Richard Griffin are currently in the midst of their latest production, the ’50s genre homage Atomic Brain Invasion. Scripted by Guy Benoit and Griffin, who sent over a couple of advance “lobby cards” (see below) and produced by Ted Marr, the movie is currently two weeks away from finishing up principal photography.
As opposed to Griffin’s previous horrific/violent fare (including Nun Of That, hitting DVD in January; see details here), Atomic Brain Invasion will, in the spirit of its inspirations, be more of a PG-level affair. “Not only do I want it to look and sound like it was made in 1957,” Griffin tells Fango, “but I also want it to be free of all the blood, profanity and nudity of modern horror films. It’s wonderful to have a horror movie that people of all ages can enjoy, much like the classic creature...
