Episode One of Roger Corman’s series of webisode entitled Splatter was released today and anyone in America can check it out over at Netflix (you don’t need a membership to watch).
“Splatter” is the haunting tale of rock-and-roll legend Johnny Splatter (Corey Feldman), a musical genius who accumulated as many hit records as he did enemies on his climb up the fame ladder. His sudden death, ruled a suicide, brings a small circle of professional parasites and hangers-on (including Tony Todd) to his Hollywood Hills mansion for the reading of his last will and testament. But as his “frenmies” come to pick the bones clean, Johnny has returned for a deadly encore long after what they thought was his final curtain.
In terms of production value, this may not be the highest quality short of all time. But damn if it ain’t worth it just to see Corey Feldman blow his brains all over the camera lens. Yeah, it’s not exactly for the squeamish.
What is pretty interesting about this short series of horror webisodes is that after watching the clip, you can click over to the voting page and decide the fate of the characters in the next episode. Who will die next? It’s actually up to you!
Thanks to Bloody-Disgusting, we have a short clip/trailer for the series embedded underneath the seats.
UPDATE: Corey Feldman will be guest tweeting from the Netflix Twitter account (twitter.com/netflix) from 2pm-3pm EST today (October 29) to chat with fans and answer questions about Splatter.
