Robert remaking Viy

It's been in the news for some time now; Robert Englund is working on a remake of the Russian horror film The Viy (1967). According to Robert, he went to London this november to talk to Dracula and Lord of the Rings actor Christopher Lee about appearing in the film.

Robert about The Viy: “The Viy is a creature of Russian/Ukrainian folklore, and it’s somewhere between the Djinn of Wishmaster and a fallen angel from purgatory. He has stepped on God’s toes and has to go to Earth, and is pretty cantankerous. We’re hoping to use some of the sets that were left over from The Passion of the Christ.”

No Horror in the Wind for Robert
The rumors that Robert might appear in the horrorfilm Horror in the Wind by Max Mitchell are said to be false.

It seems that some are just super-anxious to see Robert Englund get his orientation changed, as Max Mitchell commented below, there is no truth to his involvement. Regardless, it's one hell of an idea!
