Cohen Casts his Masters of Horror Episode

It appears that Larry Cohen has decided on who will play his "Jack the Ripper of Jack the Rippers". According to Dread Central, Michael Moriarty will fill the shoes of the maniac truck driver in "Pick Me Up".

The story which was written by David Schow goes something like this: Two urban legends meet on a desolate roadside when Wheeler, a serial killer who butchers hitchhikers, offers a ride to Walker, a hitchhiker who slaughters any driver unlucky enough to offer him a ride. Caught in their deadly game of cat-and-mouse is a young woman who must choose her ally carefully or end up another notch on a killer’s bloody belt.

You may remember Moriarty from other Cohen projects such as "Q", "Return to Salems Lot", "The Stuff", and "It's Alive 3". You can also find him on the alien abduction TV show "4400".
