Written and directed by music video vet Paul Boyd, the horror-comedy Scared to Death will be hitting the genre film festival circuit soon, and we’ve got the exclusive trailer today.
Horror legends Bill Moseley and Lin Shaye lead the cast of the upcoming Scared to Death, which boasts creature creations by Legacy FX, the maestros best known for Godzilla x Kong, Avatar, The Shape of Water, and the upcoming Alien: Romulus.
In Scared to Death, “Jasper is a young opportunistic filmmaker yearning to climb the Hollywood ladder. While working as a lowly production assistant, he seizes his chance to be a “real” director when he suggests to his cantankerous boss that the crew and actors from their upcoming horror film attend a real séance in an old haunted house for research.
“The place they choose is an abandoned children’s shelter that has been closed for 70 years since the mysterious murders of five children in 1942. Ominously, the orphans were discovered scared to death. Once the séance begins, the motley crew find themselves trapped inside the old house and haunted by the children … and something possibly worse.”
Kurt Deimer and Rae Dawn Chong also star in the horror-comedy.
Director Paul Boyd tells Bloody Disgusting, “Years ago I purchased an old house in Hollywood, somewhere with lots of space to raise my kids. After the sale the former owner informed me that the house was in fact haunted. Being a non-believer I never experienced anything supernatural in the house. I would walk around at night, in the dark, looking over my shoulder and into mirrors, waiting to be caught off guard. To see a ghost. It never happened.”
“My wife and kids on the other hand, that’s a different story,” he continues. “They had multiple terrifying experiences which to them felt absolutely real. This paradigm inspired me to make a film about ‘believing is seeing’ and that’s where the story started. I decided to put a group of non-believers, film-makers like me, in a haunted house where they get forced to confront their fears and beliefs. I made the story a genre parody to feel the humor and the ridiculousness of the situation, to be silly, where adults act like children which is what we do when scared.”

Silent Hill movie director Christophe Gans returns to the franchise with Return to Silent Hill, set to be a brand new film adaptation of Silent Hill 2. Watch the teaser trailer below!
This first look teaser for Return to Silent Hill reveals Jeremy Irvine as video game character James Sunderland, while teasing the various threats he’ll be facing in Silent Hill.
Those threats include Pyramid Head and the Nurses, both glimpsed in this first trailer!
“The film will follow James (Jeremy Irvine), a man broken after being separated from his one true love (Hannah Emily Anderson). When a mysterious letter calls him back to Silent Hill in search of her, he finds a once-recognizable town transformed by an unknown evil.
“As James descends deeper into the darkness, he encounters terrifying figures both familiar and new and begins to question his own sanity as he struggles to make sense of reality and hold on long enough to save his lost love.”
“Return to Silent Hill is a mythological love story about someone so deeply in love, they’re willing to go to hell to save someone,” said director Gans. “I’m delighted to have the wonderful talents of both Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson take us on this journey into a psychological horror world that I hope will both satisfy and surprise fans of Silent Hill.”
“Christophe and I have been working closely with our partners at Konami, as they update the video game, to also create a version of Silent Hill for the theatrical audiences of today,” explained producer Victor Hadida. “You will still find the iconic monsters – but there will also be new designs. We are confident that this new film and Konami’s updated game together will propel the franchise forward for years to come.”
Gans wrote the script alongside Sandra Vo-Anh and William Josef Schneider.
Victor Hadida (The Crow, Silent Hill franchises) will produce under his Davis Films banner, with Hassell Free Productions’ Molly Hassell (The Crow) and David Wulf (The Card Counter).
This will be the third official Silent Hill live action movie, coming in the wake of the Gans-directed Silent Hill in 2006 and 2012 sequel Silent Hill: Revelation, directed by M.J. Bassett.
Take a look at the gripping new trailer of #RETURNTOSILENTHILL directed and produced by Christophe Gans with music composer @AkiraYamaoka.

The legend of the Frogman has taken the horror community by storm this year, and we’re excited to announce that the viral found footage hit is coming soon to SCREAMBOX.
Frogman will be streaming on SCREAMBOX beginning June 7, 2024!
Additionally, Dread Central reports this morning that Frogman 2 is in the works. Rotting Press and director Anthony Cousins are re-teaming for the upcoming sequel, which was teased with an early piece of poster art (see it on Dread) and an announcement video (below).
In Frogman, “In the summer of 1999, a 12-year-old named Dallas Kyle captured footage of the mythical Frogman, but no one believed it was real. Twenty years later, Dallas, now an amateur filmmaker struggling to turn his passion into a career, returns to Loveland with friends Amy and Scotty determined to obtain irrefutable proof that the Frogman exists.
“But what starts as an innocent documentary soon turns into a Lovecraftian nightmare as Dallas uncovers the horrific secrets hidden beneath Loveland’s idyllic surface.”
Nathan Tymoshuk, Chelsey Grant, Benny Barrett and Justen Jones star.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her mini review out of Popcorn Frights 2023, “Director Anthony Cousins takes on the cryptic Frogman via found footage in his feature directorial debut, co-written with John Karsko. In it, a trio of friends embarks on one final filmmaking hoorah before life takes them in separate directions. But in their bid to make one last attempt to capture the elusive cryptid Frogman on camera, they find far more than they ever bargained for.”
“Frogman adheres to the standard found footage blueprint and tropes, drawing heavily from The Blair Witch Project and Willow Creek as the trio starts by interviewing Loveland, Ohio, locals about their town’s cryptid mascot,” Meagan’s review continues. “Friction between the friends gets brought to the surface as they get closer to the truth. While Cousins’ debut doesn’t offer any narrative surprises and makes strange style choices for the camera, it makes up for it with impressive creature effects. The more the humans invade the Frogman’s turf, the more delightfully weird and gnarly things get. It’s an SFX showcase with delightfully deranged mythology that makes this one worth the price of admission.”

A brand new image from Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) Alien: Romulus has been shared by Empire Magazine this morning, introducing us to the franchise’s latest hero.
Played by Cailee Spaeny, her name is Rain Carradine, and she’s pictured in the brand new Empire image alongside actor David Jonsson as Andy, “her android foster brother.”
Alvarez explains the dynamic, “When her father was dying, she left Andy to be a kind of caretaker. But Andy is a bit damaged and he’s an older model. So more than a surrogate father, he becomes a younger brother to her. And that was always the heart of the story: this relationship between the two… and how that relationship unfolds once shit hits the fan.”
Check out the new image below and catch the franchise’s return in theaters August 16.
Here’s the full official plot synopsis for Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus:
“While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”
Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
Alien: Romulus takes place in between the first two films. It’s been described as “an original standalone feature,” one that “will focus on a group of young people on a distant world.”
Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
