Horror Short! Paul Sloan & Ralf Moeller get dirty in King of the Vampires! – JoBlo.com

Today, were pumped to feature a badass HORROR SHORT FILM on our JOBLO HORROR VIDEOS channel, one that also acts as a proof of concept for a feature film called KING OF THE VAMPIRES. Think a mix of military action and horror like SPECTRAL, OVERLORD and ZACK SNYDERs upcoming ARMY OF THE DEAD.

The short was created with Grade A talent in its back-pocket. Am talking actor/bodybuilder Ralf Moeller (Gladiator, Universal Soldier) as the King Vamp. He actually shaved down and they did a full body makeup job on him with custom fangs in tow, stellar SFX by genius Todd Masters (Slither, Blair Witch), gorgeous farming by DP James Chressanthis (American Horror Story ) and an intense showcase by actor/action star Paul Sloan (I Am Wrath, Paydirt) who also penned the screenplay. Here's the synopsis!

A team of Mercenaries is hired by a wealthy Heiress to find and extract the last Pure-Blood vampire, raised in the deepest, darkest jungle as a savage barbarian, to become Lord of the Undead.

Heres what Paul Sloan had to say about the project:

The idea from KING OF VAMPIRES came from my love of old paperback novels and comics like DOC SAVAGE and SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN, TARZAN. Always been fascinated by jungle adventures. And I'm also a fan of vampires. So Dracula in the jungle, sounded like fun. We shot that little teaser in a pool of fake blood in a warehouse in Van Nuys. And we got the star of Gladiator and Conan TV series Ralf Moeller to play the vampire. He added the authentic barbarian vibe we wanted. He had no problem tossing my character around like a rag doll, he's a big fella. And a great guy, he made it fun. Over the years had several close calls, directors and actors attached. I'm ready to go to Thailand if Netflix is!

Well if the short is any indication of how the feature could turn out, take my money right now! It felt like PREDATOR but with a vamp in the house. Can't go wrong with that! You can peep the KING OF THE VAMPIRES promo one sheet and some stills below! THE VAMP KING LIVES!
