Exclusive: ‘Saw’ Franchise Star Tobin Bell Leads the Cast of Horror Fiction Podcast ‘The Gloom’ [Trailer]
“It moves inside all of us.”
While we wait to see if Jigsaw makes some kind of return in the upcoming Spiral: From the Book of Saw, franchise star Tobin Bell has joined the cast of the horror fiction podcast The Gloom, Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned this week.
Produced by horror podcast network Violet Hour Media, The Gloom will release on May 10.
The official press release describes, “The eight-part fiction podcast series can be described as “The Ring meets Serial” and centers around a string of heinous, unsolved crimes committed by a group of teens in the 90s, which compels an investigative journalist to uncover the horrifying truth about a supernatural cover-up tied to her own past.”
“The Gloom explores the seedy underbelly of psychiatric institutions and the mental health industry in a faux true crime podcast style. Starring Bell as the depraved Dr. Lasher.”
“The Gloom is fundamentally a story about the interplay between fear and power. It explores the consequences of living in a society that rewards and validates power-mad, sadistic authority figures. This 8-part found footage series is particularly relevant in today’s world, and I’m proud to have The Gloom as part of The Violet Hour podcast network,” Executive producer and VHM CEO Cassie Jozefov said in a statement sent to Bloody Disgusting this week.
You can exclusively listen to the show’s audio trailer below!
The Gloom is written by Mike Assip and Pete Lancucki, and directed by Frank Merle.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
