Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash launches new horror production house BeserkerGang
Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash has launched his latest venture: a horror film production company called BeserkerGang. Joining the guitarist are Michael Paszt, James Fler and Andrew T. Hunt from Raven Banner, the distribution team behind Slumber Massacre, Hunt Her Kill Her and Wolfman’s Got Nards. Also on-side is the cinematographer, director and producer Pasha Patriki and Rue Morgue magazine founder Rodrigo Gudiño.
Talking to Variety, Slash said: “I’ve always been a huge horror fan, especially going back to the days when horror movies actually scared the hell out of you. I want to get into the heart of the producing business so I can try and make movies that I’d like to see.”
Hunt went on to explain that “the aim of BerserkerGang will be quality over quantity. We will be selectively choosing projects that we collectively feel best represent the brand.” Paszt added: “Our goal is to develop projects with filmmakers and writers who are just as passionate about genre films as we are.”
“The company slogan is ‘Films Forged in Fury,’” said Rodrigo Gudiño, “if that’s any indication of where we plan on venturing”. The Rue Morgue founder previously worked with Slash and Raven Banner for the 2022 horror The Breach, which begins with a mutilated corpse washing up near the small town of Lone Crow.
News of Slash’s latest endeavour comes shortly after Guns N’ Roses announced their 2023 World Tour, which includes a Saturday night headline performance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. You can check out the full tour schedule below.
