Micro-budget filmmaker and lover of all things horror.

Robert Eggers, director of The Witch, spoke with IndieWire’s Filmmaker Toolkit Podcast, and revealed that his next film will be a remake of Nosferatu from 1922. “[It’s shocking] to me,” said Eggers. “It feels ugly and blasphemous and egomaniacal and disgusting for a filmmaker in my place to do ‘Nosferatu’ next. I was really planning on waiting a while, but that’s how fate shook out.” This is set to happen just after Eggers had a hit with The Witch in 2016, a supernatural horror film which focuses on a 16 century family getting torn apart by a coven of witches.…

Sometimes fans can be a little more creative than the actual creators of the content they enjoy, and the upcoming game happens to be an example of such. One fan decided to take the recently-released WWE 2K17 video game and used it to create his own federation made up entirely by horror movie icons.

Anthony Sketch, who came up with the federation, managed to tell Bloody-Disgusting a bit more about it.…

Pinhead vs. Michael, place your bets. At the time of Freddy vs. Jason, there was another crossover in the making, and unfortunately (or maybe it’s a good thing) we never got to see it come to fruition. The film would’ve seen icons Pinhead from Hellraiser and Michael Myers from Halloween come face to face. Doug Bradley, known for playing Pinhead in the first 8 Hellraiser movies, recently discussed the unfinished crossover film. “I was told that the year before Freddy vs Jason was released, Dimension Films rejected two scripts for a Hellraiser-Halloween crossover, which was obviously where they would go…

Have you ever wanted to see a followup to 2003’s Freddy vs Jason? Perhaps a film with more characters, and even more bloodshed? That’s what horror fan Antonio Maria Da Silva has created; and man, is it awesome! At 14 minutes, the short film uses cleverly edited scenes and video manipulation from an endless number of classic horror films.

Anything goes in this video, and I can’t help but wish it were real. Why hasn’t someone done this yet? An…

Bret Easton Ellis, author of the popular novel American Psycho, recently revealed how little the executives at Warner Bros. actually cared about the script for the upcoming Batman film. Well, now it seems he’s taking all of that back. He decided to reiterate what he said about the film and explained he only meant to describe the effect international audiences make on domestic films. He didn’t intend for it to become news about Batman. “The two executives I was having dinner with were relating the problems they had heard about the script from people working on the Batman project—that’s all.…

What if The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad were connected, like some kind of convoluted Marvel storyline that results in the minds of millions being blown away at the end? Most people would deny that these shows have any connection, that they’re far too different to be the same universe. But Netflix does a pretty good job at proving otherwise. What’s especially interesting is the specific coincidences, or rather connections, used in either series. One instance is that Walter’s blue meth from Breaking Bad is found on Merle in The Walking Dead. The connections don’t end there, however, and you…
