Modesto’s Shockerfest world premieres Robert Napton’s zombie epic THE LEGEND OF DIABLO.
Writer/Director and Modesto native Robert Napton will be on hand to world premiere his soon to be released feature film THE LEGEND OF DIABLO.
The 2003 edition of Shockerfest takes place in Modesto, CA, the weekend of September 26-28. THE LEGEND OF DIABLO will make its Big Screen debut on September 27, 2003 at the State Theatre, 1307 "J" Street, Modesto.
The cinematography is by Neal L. Fredericks who shot the world-wide box office hit THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and his recently released KILLER ME is getting unanimous critical praise from horror magazines Fangoria and Rue Morgue.
THE LEGEND OF DIABLO is a classic story of the battle between good and evil, with a few twists and turns thrown in along the way. Even though the film has horrific images of possession and zombies, the filmmakers say it is the equivalent of a very soft R rating and can be enjoyed by both younger and older film fans.
Both Napton and Fredericks will be on hand to answer questions about their unique and exciting way of making this film. Free posters will be on hand for the audience.
Tickets can be obtained at the State Theatre, 209-527-4697, the Modest Film Commission office, 1150 9th St., Modesto (209-526-5588) or can be ordered by email at Tickets@ShockerFest.com. http://www.shockerfest.com for all the festival info.
SYNOPSIS of THE LEGEND OF DIABLO
The small California town of Diablo is plagued with mysterious deaths after Sheriff Robert Lopez unearths an ancient box. Legend has it that the box holds the sixteenth-century Mexican demon named Azar.
FBI Agent Gil Vega is sent to investigate the murders and joins forces with the Sheriff’s daughters, Dominique and Mary.
Together the trio descends into a nightmare world of supernatural terror in which they are pitted against the bloodthirsty Azar and forced to defend their lives with the only weapon they have left - faith.
Other Shockerfest highlights include a Dinner With the Stars salute to veteran actor Kevin McCarthy, autograph signings by numerous genre folks (including McCarthy and his HOWLING co-stars Dee Wallace Stone and Belinda Balaski, David Hess, Felissa Rose and many others), filmmaker presentations, an awards show and all-day screenings of feature and short horror films.
