It is with great pleasure that we announce the additions of action star and pro-wrestling legend, "ROWDY" RODDY PIPER, as well as genre icon, SID HAIG, and actor NICK PRINCIPE joining an all star cast of horror talent at DAYS OF THE DEAD: Atlanta which already includes Barbara Crampton, Heather Langenkamp, Gary Busey, Amelia Kinkade, Bill Moseley, Howard Sherman, and many more!
DAYS OF THE DEAD: Atlanta, happening March 9th-11th in Peachtree City, GA!
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper, is one of the most recognizable names in the history of professional wrestling and one of the most infamous villains in the history of the sport. Known for his spontaneity, and his rockstar-like persona, "Hot Rod" is often remembered for his long standing feud with arch nemesis Hulk Hogan, a rivalry that culminated in an epic brawl at Wrestlemania I which saw Hogan and Mr. T going against (and narrowly defeating) Piper and Paul Orndorff (with Muhammad Ali acting as special guest referee). Throughout his tenure in pro wrestling, Piper accumulated thirty-four championships in various promotions during his career. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.
Tall, bald and nearly always bearded, Sid Haig has provided hulking menace to many a low-budget exploitation film and high-priced action film. Perhaps one of the most prolific genre actors of the last 50 years, Haig has appeared in over 50 feature films and 350 television programs, including such movies as Spider Baby, THX 1138, Black Mama/White Mama, Coffy, Foxy Brown, Jackie Brown, and Galaxy of Terror (alongside fellow DAYS OF THE DEAD: Atlanta guest, Taaffe O'Connell).
Haig is perhaps best known to horror fans for starring in Rob Zombie's debut film House of 1000 Corpses, as Captain Spaulding. The role revived Haig's acting career, earning him a "Best Supporting Actor" award in the thirteenth Annual Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, and induction into the Horror Hall of Fame. His image as Captain Spaulding has become iconic in today's horror genre. Haig reprised his role as Spaulding in Zombie’s sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, entitled The Devil's Rejects.
One of modern horror's "masked men," Principe is best known as the technologically inclined killer, Chromeskull, in the much acclaimed slasher, Laid to Rest, and its sequel, Chromeskull: Laid to Rest II.
Aside from his leading performances as Chromeskull, Nick Principe has had cameo roles in Thirst andHatchet II. Nick will also be playing the lead villain once again, in the upcoming super hero film, Vs., also starring Lucas Till, James Remar and Sean Whalen, as well as a leading role in the highly anticipated cannibal film, Mondo Holocausto!.
