‘Dread’ Viral Campaign Begins With Creepy Art?
This morning we received a very peculiar email from a reader who calls himself ‘Quaid’. What was inside was a piece of art and a story behind the work, with the word DREAD capitalized. Could this be the start of a viral campaign for the latest Clive Barker “Books of Blood” adaptation, which is to be directed by Anthony DiBlasi in September? Inside you can check out the Dread art, or click the title for a synopsis of the story.
This is a picture I painted of a girl named Abby. She has a port-wine birthmark covering half her body: her leg, her stomach, her breast, her face… Abby’s going to participate in our fear study – going to share with us her deepest DREAD. Abby learned at a very young age that she would always be an object of scrutiny… she confided in me, and all she wants is to be normal. Would you like to be part of our fear study?

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.
