Halloween Treat #2: Watch Greg Nicotero’s ‘United Monster Talent’ Short
“The Walking Dead”‘s Special FX Make-Up Designer Greg Nicotero unquestionably knows his zombies. One look at the photos of his undead creations for the AMC series is proof enough of that. But Nicotero also knows his werewolves, his mummies and his creatures from the Black Lagoon. Need proof on that count, too? Check out his his short film, “The United Monster Talent Agency,” a faux promo for a fictional Hollywood agency representing monsters from Universal Studios circa 1950s. The short film features guest appearances by Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel), Dana Gould (“The Simpsons”), Robert Rodriguez (Machete) and “The Walking Dead”‘s own Executive Producer and Director Frank Darabont (who fittingly plays a director). Where else would you see what Frankenstein’s monster and The Invisible Man do when the camera’s aren’t rolling?
Michelle Williams and Daisy Edgar Jones star in the upcoming thriller A Place in Hell from writer-director Chloe Domont (Fair Play), and NEON had originally set the film for theatrical release on December 25, 2026. But we’ve learned that it’s been bumped to next year.
NEON will now release A Place in Hell in theaters on April 23, 2027.
Chloe Domont writes and directs the “adult thriller.”
A cutthroat criminal defense attorney (Williams), on the verge of making partner, sees her ambitions upended when a younger lawyer (Edgar-Jones) is brought in to replace her. As rivalry escalates into a battle for control, the two women push one another to dangerous extremes.
Andrew Scott, Danny Huston, Arturo Castro, Rob Yang, Kyle Mooney, Dani Oliveros, and Esther McGregor round out the ensemble cast of A Place in Hell.
Rian Johnson’s T-Street (Knives Out) and MCR (Saltburn) produce.
A Place in Hell moving out of the Christmas Day 2026 release date is a great help to the Robert Eggers-directed Werwulf, which will now own the day without any genre competition.
