RKO Teams With Lincoln for Anti-Alien Invasion Flick ‘Nye Incidents’
Announced almost exactly two years ago (The Nye Incidents, a comic co-created by Communion author Whitley Strieber, is finally heading to the big screen, so says THR.
Previously announced director Todd Lincoln (The Apparition) and producer Daniel Alter have taken the film from Warner Bros. and now with RKO are teaming up to adapt Nye, a Devils Due comic written by Strieber and Craig Spector and set in the world of alien abductees.
It’s a world well-known to Strieber, the author of horror novels The Hunger and The Wolfen who then wrote about his own experience being abducted by extra-terrestrials in Communion.
“ ‘Nye’ centers on a seen-it-all and logical medical examiner whose faith in the rational is shattered when she runs afoul a brutal murder of a supposed alien abductee. The case puts her on the path chasing a serial killer working in the alien abductee community who may or may not be human.”
The goal is to make, in a way, an anti-alien invasion movie, something that doesn’t veer into conspiracy/X-Files territory yet remains spooky and terrifying.

Caroline Williams Starring in Christmas Slasher Movie ‘He Sees You When You’re Sleeping’ [Image]
Bloody Disgusting has learned this week that Caroline Williams (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) has joined the cast of He Sees You When You’re Sleeping, a Christmas slasher slated to be released this holiday season by The Horror Collective.
In the upcoming slasher, a young man’s Christmas homecoming turns into a nightmare as a killer in a Santa suit gruesomely picks off his estranged, wealthy family for their fortune.
Williams is joined by Nicholas Vince, known for his role in the original Hellraiser, as well as David Lenik (An English Haunting), Peyton Michelle Edwards (Goodbye Honey), and Lauren Marie-Taylor (Friday the 13th Part 2).
Director/Producer Charlie Steeds said in a statement, “I knew David Lenik’s campy Christmas-themed slasher would be a blast to direct. It’s set in the ’80s and we filmed on location in New York State. The script draws inspiration from horror classics such as Black Christmas, Scream and Silent Night, Deadly Night which are all films I adore.”
“Christmas horror films blend holiday cheer with thrilling chills, offering a fresh and exciting twist on traditional celebrations. They’re perfect for those looking to spice up their holiday viewing,” commented Shaked Berenson, CEO of The Horror Collective’s partner company, Entertainment Squad.
The Horror Collective is the genre label of Entertainment Squad, a finance and distribution company founded by veteran producer Shaked Berenson (Turbo Kid, Tales of Halloween). The labels’ latest productions include the killer-pants cult classic Slaxx (Shudder Original) and the critically acclaimed LGBTQ+ horror-comedy Summoning Sylvia.
