Here’s something you Panatics might enjoy. Over at the StarWarp Concepts blog, I occasionally post “Tales of Development Hell”: stories of projects I was hired to write, only to see them wind up being canceled for various reasons (a deal fell through, the publisher went out of business, etc.). One of those projects involved contributing to a collection of horror-movie reviews that ultimately never saw print.

The movie I covered was 1973’s Horror Express, which starred Christopher Lee (old-time fans know him as Dracula; younger fans would know him as Count Dooku in Star Wars: Episodes 2–3, Saruman in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, and the voice of Pastor Galswells in Corpse Bride) and Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars: Episode 4, Dr. Who in Doctor Who and the Daleks, and Van Helsing in Christopher Lee’s Dracula films), who team up to fight an ancient monkeyman that’s killing passengers on a train. And that’s not even the weirdest part of the movie!

Sounds interesting? Great! To get the whole behind-the-scenes story on the project, read this post at the SWC blog. Then, to check out the actual review, go here.
