Fango got ahold of a pic for the film (which you can see to your right) and posted some talk from producer David Allen, who was quoted saying... "It is probably the most ferocious picture I have seen in a long time. The blood flows in this one, and it flows freely. CEMETERY GATES is savage, but it’s also a lot of fun. Horror fans are going to find a lot to get excited about."

Writer Brian Patrick O’Toole was also quoted saying.... “When I wrote CEMETERY GATES, I wanted to recreate for audiences the experience my friends and I had when we first saw EVIL DEAD—over-the-top madness. With 17 kills in 90 minutes and over 80 gallons of blood, I hope I have achieved that goal.”

Star Peter Stickles talked to Fango recently about the film. He was quoted saying... "The creature itself looks pretty good. It’s about 8 feet tall with a fully animatronic head. I spent a good amount of time in the workshop with the guys building it before we started filming. They had to test out some of the bloodier special effects on someone, and that was me! I got my arm ripped off, my stomach sliced open and had all my guts spill out! I was absolutely covered in blood by the end of the day. Roy just kept yelling, ‘More blood!’ It was shooting about 3 feet out of me every time! I also had to wrestle around with the creature a lot, having it tackle me and shred me up and bite me and things like that." He then went on to talk a little about the cast... "Reggie Bannister is playing my dad. We’ve been having fun just hanging out together. The guys from KNB EFX—the N and the B [Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger]—are playing two stoner dudes who are eventually killed by the beast. And Richard Elfman [Danny’s brother and Jenna’s uncle] plays a haggard old fisherman that runs into the creature."
