The (Supposed) $1 Horror Movie Tells Tale of ‘The Vampire in the Hole’
Do you believe a movie can be made for a mere $1. I don’t. It’s bullsh*t and a terrible PR stunt. If you eat a bag of chips or Taco Bell that counts towards your budget. If you miss work and lose money, yup, it counts. Are you using a camera? Someone paid for it, and there’s depreciation value. If you want to play a game of semantics, OK, I believe a movie can be made for $1…. but in all honesty that’s bullsh*t. What do you think?
Anyways, Spanish filmmakers Sonia Escolano and Sadrac Gonzalez are making their claim as “no-budget” phenoms with their $1 movie The Vampire in the Hole, “a fake documentary about the filming of “The Vampire in the Hole”, the story of May, a teenage girl who turns into a violent vampire after suffering from about of flu. Sounds strange, but it is actually about the journey taken to show how you can make a commercially viable yet independent film at the same time, with an aim to break the mould.”
Even if they spent some money on the production, it’s a pretty impressive looking debut. I’m excited to see it! Check out some images, clips and the trailer inside. Visit the Facebook for tons of photos, with more over at the film’s official website:
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
