Genre Quartet Team for Horror Anthology ‘Chillerama’
Bloody Disgusting’s BC writes in with a surprise announcement out of the FrightFest in London. Adam Green (Hatchet, Frozen) and Joe Lynch (The Knights of Badassdom, Wrong Turn 2) are teaming for a new horror anthology, CHILLERAMA, which also include the works of Adam Rifkin (Detroit Rock City) and Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs, Driftwood). You’ll find the first details inside!News reported by BC:
The plot details follow the last drive-in theater in America that’s closing its doors. The owner is having one final night. BC explains that it’s not like Creepshow in that it all fits together as one movie.
The shocker? Production is almost complete and we will hear more near end of the year.
Rifkin’s segment is entitled “Wadzilla”, which is in sprint of ’50s monster movies. It’s about a guy looking to raise his sperm count, and things going disastrously wrong. The special effects work are being done by Chiodo brothers (Killer Klowns from Out Space).
Sullivan is presenting “I Was a Teenage Werebear”, which is like ’50s surf movie (Beach Blanket Bingo).
Green presents “The Diary of Anne Frankenstein”, which is a ’40s war film starring Joel Moore (Avatar, Hatchet), Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th films, Hatchet), and Kristina Klebe (Halloween, BreadCrumbs). It’s about Hitler (played by Moore) creating the perfect killing machine to win the war.
Lynch will bring us a new zombie movie that’s in the vein of ’70s/’80s undead flicks. Lynch says the best way to sum it up is “when there’s no more room in hell, the dead will f*ck the earth.”
There will be no further details until end of the year.
Green is going to show “Diary” in its entirety to the crowd at FrightFest, catching everyone off guard. Holy crap! Can you say jealous?
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
