Prolific indie actor Lee Perkins (Katiebird: Certifiable Crazy Person) sent us an update this morning on a couple of his horror projects, and since he’s a cool guy and you all are cool readers, I thought it only right to share.

First up, Live Evil will be premiering at the Valley Film Festival on Thursday, September 25th at 9Pm. Perkins plays a cop (pictured) in Live Evil, starring alongside Tiffany Shepis, Ken Foree and Tim Thomerson.

Thomerson plays a cowboy priest who brandishes a samurai sword in his quest to eradicate all bloodsuckers. More info can be gathered at the official Live Evil site.

Edges of Darkness is another flick we’ve been keeping tabs on for a while. Perkins informed us that

All right, I’ve been out of it for a while, but apparently a lot changed and then went back to normal for Dan Walton’s 80’s horror homage Bind.

You see, back in April Walton and crew announced they’d be casting off horror names like Ken Foree and and Devon Sawa because they couldn’t make their schedules work with filming. Just the other day, however, it was announced on Uhm that the cast is all back in place and has even added on Axelle Carolyn (she had some bit parts in Doomsday and stars in the short "I Love You", as well as being a damn fine writer). Filming is back on track and should start up very soon!

So what is Bind about? We still don’t know, I’m sorry to say, but eventually Walton and crew are going to have to give up some information about it ... right?
