Ozzy Osbourne hosting horror films? Cannon Home Video has hired the heavy metal madman to perform two-minute introductions to each of eight horror films. The first four--”Dracula’s Last Rights,” “Crucible of Horror,” “Beast in the Cellar” and “Blood on Satan’s Cloth”--are due on video shelves April 26.
Kristina Hamm, assistant to the director of Cannon Home Video, told us Osbourne will provide a plot summary and “tell a couple of jokes.”
“We’ve discovered that the prime horror video renters also listen to heavy metal music,” explained Hamm. “That’s why we felt Ozzy was a logical choice.”
Meanwhile, European metal head King Diamond--recently featured on Geraldo Rivera’s notorious Satan special--has landed a role in the fright flick “Boggs,” about a not-quite-human televangelist, which begins filming next month in Florida. Sources tell us King Diamond will play a priest in a church lottery sequence where two lucky people win . . . entrance to hell.
