The Haunted Painting ‘The Anguished Man’ is Becoming a Movie
There’s a creepypasta that’s been making it’s way around the net for a little while now called “The Anguished Man“. The idea is that a painter used his own blood to paint the image before committing suicide. That painting then fell into the ownership of Sean Robinson’s grandmother, whereupon he inherited said object and has since been posting YouTube videos of supposed paranormal events centered around the painting.
Now this supposed true story has been acquired by La Brea Pictures for a film titled Anguished that will be directed by American-Finnish director Til Ricks. She explains, “I am thrilled to be able to bring the story of The Anguished Man on the screen. There is something really intriguing about haunted items and especially haunted paintings – they really appeal to our biggest fears and imagination”
“Based on a true story, and set in the United Kingdom, ‘Anguished’ tells the story of an English man who inherits a weird painting locked away in an attic, away from sight.”
Robinson will be acting as associate producer and is considering taking the painting to various conventions and paranormal events, although he cautions, “I wouldn’t recommend touching the painting…”

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
