Silent for months, and now louder than a vindaloo fart, we’ve been hit with behind the scenes photos, posters and videos of the alcoholics recently. The first trailer, while funny in some parts, was kind of disapointing. Well, minus that bit at the end with …

It’s also a perfectly good excuse to have when Kervyn, Noelle and Lourens don luchadore masks and proceed to clobber each other with flaming steel chairs while shouting out slogans from mid-nineties runs of comic books, Doctor Who and Game of Thrones. …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
