July 16, 2008 Dante ("Desecration") Tomaselli's next movie is entitled "Torture Chamber" and a casting call just went out for it.

And here's the ad, which appeared in Backstage Magazine:

Dante Tomaselli (dir.) is casting Torture Chamber, a 35mm independent horror feature film about 13 year-old Jimmy Morgan, who is possessed by an evil too powerful to be exorcized by any priest. One year after his own brother, Father Mark Morgan, nearly died in the attempt, Jimmy is back with a vengeance—and an army of horribly burned children who follow his every murderous desire. The town of Smithville trembles in fear as Jimmy and his deadly young followers attack and abduct its residents—innocent and guilty alike—dragging their victims to an abandoned castle and subjecting them to grisly torments deep within its catacombs. Those who discover the terrible secret behind the disappearances and deaths don’t live long enough to tell it. The teacher, the doctor, the detective, even Jimmy’s own brother and mother, will all confront their fates in the Torture Chamber. Shooting in the fall in the Tri-State area.

Seeking—Dr. Edwards: early 60s, detective-type, bearded, LEAD; Jimmy Morgan: 13, menacing, doll-like, blue eyes, Freddy Krueger/Michael Myers-type role involving prosthetics, LEAD; Andy: 14, boy-next-door type, terrorized, must be comfortable working with a dog and spiders, LEAD; Heather: 12, dark-haired, frail, doe-like, LEAD; Father Morgan: mid 20s, Catholic priest, exorcist, balding, nervous brown eyes, big hands, LEAD; Ken: 13, outgoing, blonde, heavy-set, drug addict.
