[Listen] ‘V/H/S/94’: The Boo Crew Podcast Speaks to Directors Simon Barrett, Chloe Okuno, Jennifer Reeder, and Ryan Prows!

Bloody Disgusting’s V/H/S/94 is now streaming on Shudder and we’re so excited to hear what you think. Since we don’t review our own movies, hit the comments below and tell us your thoughts on the fourth entry in our anthology series. What’s your favorite segment?

To celebrate the release, Bloody’s The Boo Crew Podcast spend a full hour with the filmmakers behind the new tape to chat about the process and how it all came together. V/H/S/94 was over four years in the making. Let’s hope the next tape is recorded much quicker…

In the below episode, The Boo Crew dives into the horror of quarantine filmmaking with Simon Barrett, Chloe Okuno, Jennifer Reeder, and Ryan Prows.

Barrett, who directed “The Empty Wake”, helped co-create the V/H/S franchise and also directed the second film’s wraparound. Simon just saw the release of feature directorial debut, Seance, starring Suki Waterhouse, and also penned several classic horror films from Dead Birds to A Horrible Way to Die, You’re Next, The Guest, and Blair Witch.

Okuno, behind the popular segment, “Storm Drain” (Hail Raatma!), directed the phenomenal must-see AFI horror short “Slut” (watch it here). She’s an outstanding new voice in horror and recently filmed Watcher for Spooky Pictures.

Chicago-based Jennifer Reeder took the reins of the entire film’s wraparound, “Holy Hell”. Reeder is best known among horror fans for her incredible arthouse indie Knives and Skin, released by IFC Films back in 2019. Reeder was also named one of 20 filmmakers shaping the future of cinema by the great Bong Joon Ho (Indiewire).

Last and certainly not least is Ryan Prows, the madman behind the action-packed, ultraviolent, and off-the-charts cool indie Lowlife, also an IFC Films release. Get ready because Prows is about to blow shit up with “Terror”.

‘Monster Mash’ Trailer – Michael Madsen Assembles His Own Monster Squad in New Indie Horror Movie

Published

Michael Madsen Monster Mash

Universal’s “Dark Universe” may have gone up in flames right out of the gate, but that’s not stopping other studios from (unofficially) making their own Universal Monsters mashups.

All the classic monsters unite to brawl in The Asylum’s Monster Mash, which is coming to select theaters as well as VOD outlets at home on the same day, Friday, March 29, 2024.

Who brings them all together, you ask? Michael Madsen, of course!

In Monster Mash, “A dying Dr. Frankenstein is determined to meld the world’s strongest monsters into a singular, unstoppable creation. Now the monsters—including Dracula, Werewolf, and the Invisible Man—must work together to stop him before it’s too late.”

The film will be opening theatrically in the following locations:

  • Laemmle – Glendale, California
  • Hickory Ridge Cinemas – Brunswick, Ohio
  • Trylon Cinema – Minneapolis, Minnesota
  • O Cinema – South Beach, Miami, Florida
  • Aurora Cineplex – Roswell, Georgia

Ethan Daniel Corbett and Emma Reinagel also star in The Asylum’s Monster Mash.

The film is written and directed by Jose Prendes (The Exorcists).

You can watch the Monster Mash trailer below. Monster Squad this is not, to say the least, but the low budget monster mashup does look like it could at least deliver a good time. Michael Madsen chewing the scenery as Victor Frankenstein while Dracula, The Invisible Man and a computer-generated Wolfman wreak havoc? We’ve been promised worse times than that!

“The Invisible Man… I just need a piece of his skin,” Madsen says at one point in the trailer. And it was in that moment that our weekend plans were decided. Find the film on VOD Friday.
