Full Moon Entertainment has completed production on the 5th Killjoy film. The latest is titled Killjoy's Psycho Circus. This time, Killjoy (Trent Haaga) battles flying creatures and in-fighting amongst his clown army. Still, some of the iconic characters, in this series return. And, Killjoy's Psycho Circus is set to premiere the night before Halloween, on the El Rey Network. A preview of the film's launch is hosted here. In the synopsis, Killjoy is now semi-mortal. He has to deal with the inconveniences of human life. Meanwhile, Batty Boop (Victoria De Mare) has abandoned him, while Beelzebub (Stephen F. Cardwell) is trying to trap him in a box. With his allies - Freakshow (Tai Chan Ngo) and Punchy (Al Burke), Killjoy must fight to remain living outside of Hell. The El Rey Network was developed by director Robert Rodriguez (Grindhouse, 2007). This channel targets the Latino market and it reaches over 40 million viewers,...

In the late 90s/early 2000′s there was a distinct new trend in the horror genre: that of “urban horror”. A genre that brought urban black cinema, and all-black casts, together with the horror genre in much the same way as it did in the 70s during the blaxploitation era. Whilst films like Bones and Vampire in Brooklyn (despite being something of a critical failure) had iconic stars such as Snoop Dogg and Eddie Murphy respectively, it was smaller movies such as Rusty Cundieff’s Tales From the Hood that had all the ideas (if you haven’t seen Tales… you should really track it down).
Not one to miss a trick when it comes to cashing in on popular crazes, Full Moon head honcho Charles Band...

After the success of their recent web series Trophy Heads, Full Moon Entertainment has decided to fire up another... and this time they're resurrecting one of their most beloved characters to do so. Be prepared for Killjoy's Psycho Circus.
Bringing back the director of the past two Killjoy films, John Lechago, as well as stars Trent Haaga and Victoria DeMare, and adding on Al Burke and Tai Chan Ngo, Killjoy's Psycho Circus promises to be more of the crazy insanity that made audiences fall in love with the clown and his merry troop in the past.
As with Trophy Heads, Killjoy's Psycho Circus will be released in several segments to allow Charles Band and the rest of the Full Moon production team a chance to present the film in a cliffhanger-type series. Then, after the initial web series has run its course, the film will eventually be released in its entirety.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by Full Moon Features. Director/writer: John Lechago. Cast: Trent Haaga, Victoria De Mare, Al Burke, Tai Chan Ngo, John Karyus, Aqueela Zoll, Jason R. Moore, Cecil Burroughs, Randy Mermell, Stephen F. Cardwell, Lisa Goodman, Ian Roberts, and Jessica Whitaker. Killjoy the killer clown returns for a third sequel in Killjoy Goes to Hell. Actor Trent Haaga returns as Killjoy and John Lechago pulls double duty as writer and director. Killjoy Goes to Hell blends campiness with sex appeal and a little bit of violence to create a visually stunning film. Very funny, this latest edition to the series is a truly enjoyable time. This title directly follows the events of the previous film, Killjoy 3. In the previous film, four college students were harassed by an insane demon. Unfortunately for Killjoy, one of his non-studious victims, Sandie (Jessica Whitaker), survived.

Tagline: "The bad clown is going down." The first trailer for Killjoy Goes to Hell was released this week. This is the fourth film from Full Moon Features, which deals with a demonic clown. Actor Trent Haaga will reprise his role and this time Killjoy finds himself in the fiery blazes below. In the story for the film, this white-faced clown is accused of being too soft on mortals. He must prove that he is still evil or lose his powers forever. Killjoy will have to bring his fellow demons to the witness stand including: Batty Boop (Victoria De Mare), Punchy (Al Burke) and Freakshow (Tai Chan Ngo). Only then will he have a chance to prove he is still the most cunning demon around. See Killjoy's opening statement in the trailer below. Director: John Lechago.

Killjoy 3 must have been a modest hit for Full Moon despite the near decade long lay-off between sequels. You won’t have to wait nearly ten more years for the next installment since Killjoy Goes to Hell is about to begin filming.
I didn’t see Killjoy 3 but have heard it was supposed to be pretty decent, certainly the best in the franchise, which, admittedly, is not saying much. Killjoy 3 writer/director John Lechago and Killjoy performer Trent Haaga are set to return for Killjoy Goes to Hell which Full Moon is promising will be “the most insane Killjoy movie of all time.”
Also returning from Killjoy 3 will be his killer clown posse (Punchy, Freakshow, and Batty Boop) played by Al Burke, Tai Chan Ngo, and Victoria De Mare.
No actual plot details have been announced yet but given the title I’m going to go...

Director/writer: John Lechago.
Producers: Vincent Bilancio and Tai Chan Ngo.
This reviewer knows John Lechago mostly from his excellent directing work on Killjoy 3. This was a film with a lot of imagination, putting characters in a hellish, but fun world. This film starred Victoria De Mare and Al Burke. Both of these actors also star in Lechago's latest called Bio-Slime. Previously called Contagion, Bio-Slime has been referred to as a blob movie: "a decent blob movie" (Monster). This reviewer would simply call it a B-movie, or a film likely to see a DVD release and made for under a million. Bio-Slime's budget was much lower than this with much of the finances dedicated to special effects artist Tom Devlin's creations. The appearance of porn stars Gia Paloma and Roxi Devill are merely a...

Full Moon Entertainment is the company behind such horror films as Puppet Master, Demonic Toys, Arcade, Shrunken Heads, Shadowzone, Evil Bong, Voodoo Academy, etc. This past year with the release of Puppet Master: Axis of Evil, Demonic Toys 2, and director John Lechago's Killjoy 3, Full Moon Entertainment has gotten back to what made them a success to begin with. With the recent announcement of Evil Bong 3-D, Full Moon Entertainment seems due for a resurrgence after years of struggling. So what does this all have to do with one Mr. John Lechago? Well you see, like Full Moon Entertainment, Mr. Lechago seems to have his career back on track like the company that he has worked for. Killjoy 3 cemented that Full Moon Entertainment is moving in the right direction and so it appears that Mr. Lechago is heading in the right direction as well. Killjoy 3 was...

Writer/director John Lechago gave Fango the first look at the latest trailer for his indie creature feature Bioslime, as well as a couple of new exclusive photos; you can feast your eyes on them below the cut. The movie, on which Lechago also served as cinematographer, editor, visual FX supervisor and set designer, is currently in postproduction.
“I am finishing up the visual effects, but there is still a great deal of work to be done,” Lechago tells us. “I’m getting some help from a colleague of mine who’s an excellent effects artist, and I still have a little more insert shooting for background plates. Other than that, the music score is done and the sound editing is well underway. The polish is a meticulous and labor-intesive process, especially for a low-budget production. I want this thing to look as good as it possibly can!”
