‘There’s No Such Thing as Vampires’ Image Stalked by Nosferatu
Heading into Cannes is There’s No Such Thing as Vampires, which recently wrapped principal photography.
We have the first images from Logan Thomas’ horror film about a group of teenagers who encounter vampires in a remote outpost.
The cast is massive, including Meg Foster (They Live, Lords of Salem), Raphael Sbarge, Maria Olsen (Southbound, Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension), and Judy Tenuda with new talents Emma Holzer (Spring Breakers, “Boardwalk Empire”), Josh Plasse (“Feud,” “Criminal Minds), and Aric Cushing (“American Horror Story” The Yellow Wallpaper).
The creature design and effects were created by Eric Fox at Morb-X studios. Eric is a leading special effects artist, well known for his appearances on the popular show “Face Off.”
Explains the press release: “Drawing from films like 1984’s The Terminator and 1985’s Fright Night, the filmmakers have aimed to whip up a powerful fury of fun, nail-biting storytelling.”
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
