The “omnibus” horror film – a feature length collection of cinematic horror stories – is one of the most beloved and respected horror movie genres for many reasons; but most importantly, horror is often very effective in concentrated doses (just check out our excellent short film collection for some great examples), especially with a storyline that's designed to set up one good shock or twist, saving the writer the effort of milking more scares out of a single tale.

Remember films like Saturday the 14th starring Richard Benjamin or The Willies starring Sean Astin? There is this feeling of nostalgia that comes across in these films. They tap into this child like sense of wonder & awe when it comes to presenting its horror and comedy elements. Sure, as an adult, it might seem a little juvenile.

“Go Green With Dr. Gangrene” is a continuing collaboration between Nashville Horror Host Dr. Gangrene (portrayed by Larry Underwood) and film maker Cameron McCasland.
