While actor Jackie Earle Haley assumes the role that made Robert Englund a star in the remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street, the original Freddy has been globetrotting of late.

“It’s very difficult to get horror movies made in Italy, which is why I moved to Bucharest,” says former Fango scribe Loris Curci, who graduated to producing movies in recent years. His efforts include the Ken Foree Croatian/Catalan/American zombie flick Zone Of The Dead, a Sitges premiere,...
