We Made a Movie! What Lurks ‘Under the Bed’?!!

Published

on

I have some pretty exciting news to share with you dear readers that hopefully will get your blood pumping.

Outside of Bloody Disgusting, both Tom and myself produced a horror movie that we’re pretty damn proud of. Over the past few month’s we’ve been working insane hours on both the website and Under the Bed, our horror film inspired by classic Steven Spielberg films such as Poltergeist.

Jonny Weston (John Dies at the End) and Gattlin Griffith (The New Daughter, Changeling, Green Lantern) topline the latest indie from up and coming genre producing outfit Site B. The duo will play brothers, Neal and Pauly, respectively. The two will will deal with the universal fear of a monster under the bed…

Ever since we discovered his $30k zombie feature Automaton Transfusion back in ’05/’06, we’ve been huge fans of director Steven C. Miller, which is why we approached him to helm this love letter to the 1980’s. The script was penned by Eric Stolze from a story we co-developed together.

Peter Holden (The Social Network), Musetta Vander (Sindel in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation !) and Kelcie Stranahan round out the cast. Holden plays Terry, the brothers’ father, while Vander stars as the stepmother Angela. Stranahan plays Cara, Neal’s love interest.

The suburban nightmare reteams A Horrible Way to Die executive producer Zak Zeman with myself. Will Clevinger also produces. Cinematographer Joseph White is utilizing the latest anamorphic lenses to achieve the look of the film. White recently completed both Mother’s Day and 11-11-11 for director Darren Lynn Bousman. We used the same lenses that J.J. Abrams used in Star Trek and the forthcoming Super 8 (so it’s gonna look insane!) Practical effects were provided by Vincent J. Guastini, while LIT will be taking on VFX duties.

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
