Earlier this year I visited the set of ‘Stan Against Evil’ where they were filming their second season. I had the pleasure of meeting Mick Ignis, a talented actor who plays many of the demons and witches on the hit show. Last night, I was able to catch up with Ignis about his roles in the supernatural series which premieres on November 1st. Horror Fuel: “I absolutely loved the first season of ‘Stan Against Evil’. Can you tell us a little about your roles in season one?” Ignis: “I’m so happy to hear that! ‘Stan Against Evil’ is an absolute blast to shoot and it was such a pleasure to drop in for the first two episodes last season.

Stan Lee, the founder of Marvel, has produced a new horror film titled The Sandman, written and directed by Peter Sullivan (Ominous) which will premiere on Syfy next month. In the film, “a clandestine government agency is closing in on the young girl, Claire and Madison will have to work together to find a way to stop the Sandman (Mick Ignis) before he claims his next victim. Factor in the sinister ‘Valentine’ (Tobin Bell) who leads a cadre of bureaucrats who do not mean well and soon, strange things start happening whenever Madison is around.
