Watch the Winning ‘Hellbenders’ Possession Videos!
While director JT Petty completes the editing of Hellbenders, some lucky Bloody Disgusting readers will be basking in the glory of winning one of the coolest promotions to even grace the site!
Three hard working readers will see their short film actually IN Petty’s movie that takes place in modern day New York where a team of holy men (consisting of ministers and priests) battle the forces of evil. Clifton Collins, Clancy Brown and Dan Fogler all star.
Winners will also receive an insanely cool Hellbenders t-shirt (I put it on display below), along with a copy of Petty’s S&Man.
But the glory doesn’t begin when Hellbenders is released, it begins NOW. Inside you’ll find the videos of the trio of winners and runner-ups. Enjoy and give them serious props for their hard work!
JT Petty writes in about each video:
“ToppingsofTerror’s “Found Footage of Real Life Possession” had me at doing violence to fingernails. And the whole Christian Bale-in-The-Machinist-skinny-man-as-special effect works for me every time.
TheDolanc’s “Possessed Girl on the Subway” has a lot going for it. First it just warms my heart that there’s a cute goth girl out there willing to hang out with horror nerds. And she completely channeled Isabelle Adjani, with less congee and the added production value of a subway.
Brisep’s “Black Wednesday,” more than any other, felt like an actual movie, while still respecting the constraints of the found footage idea. It got the gore and the violence right, and has a sort of TCM 1974 kind of ambiguity in violence going for it. When I’m two minutes into a movie and wondering whether or not somebody is pantomiming enraged felatio, I automatically think winner.
And I have to give honorable mention to untrademarkedfilms “3 Guys, 1 Possession,” Zombiecave’s “Found Footage – Demonic Possession” and 0LujanProductions0’s “Hidalgo Possession Tape.” All great stuff.” – JT Petty
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.
