Horror Legend Tom Holland Tells ‘Twisted Tales’ on Your Mobile Device
Master of Horror Tom Holland, the man behind such legendary genre favorites including Fright Night, Child’s Play, Psycho II and the adaptations of Stephen King’s Thinner, and The Langoliers has returned to scare a new generation of horror fans with his groundbreaking new series of Twisted Tales.
Written and directed by Holland, “Twisted Tales” is a brand new series of short films created in the great tradition of anthology shows like “The Twilight Zone,” “Outer Limits” and “Amazing Stories.” Holland is no stranger to the world of horror anthologies as he wrote and directed some of the most memorable episodes from both “Tales from the Crypt” and “Amazing Stories.”
With the first three episodes completed, “Twisted Tales” boasts an impressive list of horror genre favorites so far, including William Forsythe (The Devil’s Rejects, Raising Arizona, The Rock), Danielle Harris (Rob Zombie’s Halloween, The Last Boy Scout), AJ Bowen (Hatchet 2, House of the Devil, The Signal, A Horrible Way to Die), Bonnie Piesse (Star Wars: Episodes II and III), and Shaun Benson (“General Hospital,” “Cold Case,” “Just Cause,” “The Associates”). Watch the trailers here.
In conjunction with Holland’s latest “Twisted Tale” entitled “Vampire’s Dance,” the writer/director returned to his seductive vampire roots established with his 1985 horror classic “Fright Night” to also direct the sultry new video for singer Lisa McClowry’s first single, “Born Twice.” McClowry stars alongside Benson in Holland’s short film version as well.
Gadget devotees will be intrigued by “Twisted Tales” as it is the first series specifically designed for mobile devices. Less than 10 minutes in length, “Vampire’s Dance” and the other videos currently planned for production are destined to be cult classics.
Holland said, “Twisted Tales is a great opportunity to explore the world of quality short film storytelling on a whole new platform of technology. We’re at the start of a new wave of distribution and it’s a very exciting time for myself and for all those involved.”

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
