Effects Legend Tom Savini Appears in Netflix’s “Locke & Key”! [Images]
In Netflix’s “Locke & Key” (review), arriving on the streaming service this Friday, the Locke siblings and their mother move into their ancestral home, Keyhouse, which they discover is full of magical keys that may be connected to their father’s death.
While they uncover the mystery of the keys, and a demon who wishes to possess them, the kids struggle to adapt to their new school and make friends. Kinsey Locke (Emilia Jones) quasi-joins a film club obsessed with horror and the great Tom Savini.
In a fun cameo, the effects legend known for his work on Friday the 13th, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and Creepshow later appears as a store owner who helps Bode Locke (Jackson Robert Scott) with his major discovery!
Savini had most recently directed an adaptation of a Joe Hill story for Shudder’s “Creepshow,” so it seems only fitting that he’s now part of Joe Hill’s world as an actor.
Bloody Disgusting was able to obtain your first look at Savini’s single scene as well as a behind-the-scenes shot from the set. Check out “Locke & Key” on Friday, February 7th.
The second season of animated spinoff “Velma” is now streaming on Max, and it sounds like Velma and the “Scooby-Doo” gang may also be headed back into the world of live action.
Variety reports this afternoon that Netflix is planning a live action “Scooby-Doo” television series, with the streamer actively “nearing a deal” with Warner Bros. Television.
The series is being described in Variety’s report as a “one-hour drama project,” with Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg attached to write and executive produce.
Executive producers on the upcoming “Scooby-Doo” Netflix series also include André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner for Midnight Radio, with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman executive producing through Berlanti Productions. Varierty’s report continues, “Jonathan Gabay of Berlanti Productions and Adrienne Erickson will co-executive produce.”
“Scooby-Doo” has mostly been an animated series over the years, but there were two live action movies in 2002 and 2004: Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.
The live action cast for those two films included Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, and Linda Cardellini as Velma.
