Joel Schumacher has signed on to direct "Town Creek," a vampire horror movie for Gold Circle.

The story centers on a West Virginia man who comes to terms with his moral qualms and helps his brother wipe out a family that had been protecting a Nazi vampire and who had kept his brother captive for him to feed off of for years.

Dave Kajganich wrote the screenplay.

Gold Circle topper Paul Brooks is producing along with Tom Lassally and Robyn Meisinger. Norm Waitt and Scott Niemeyer are exec producing.
