Blumhouse’s ‘Boogeyman Pop’ Premieres at Cinepocalypse Tonight!
Blumhouse has given Cinepocalypse the World Premiere of Boogeyman Pop, which takes place tonight at the Music Box Theater in Chicago at 10:15pm (get tickets here). We’ve been provided with the film’s first ever image and poster that are soaked in colors and give off a classic 80’s vibe.
Brad Michael Elmore directs the film, which is set over the course of one summer weekend.
In it, a bat-wielding, masked killer in a rusted- out black Cadillac weaves in and out of three interlocking stories awash in sex, drugs, punk rock, black magic, and broken homes.
Starring James Paxton (son of the late, great Bill Paxton) and produced by Rogue One screenwriter Chris Weitz, the film oozes with everything we love about genre cinema. The fest describes this as “punk rock filmmaking at its finest, and it’s one of those festival moments you won’t want to miss.”
M.C. Gainey and José Julián also star.
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.
