‘V/H/S’ Won A Reaper Award For Best Indie Horror!
We’re pretty excited to announce that our V/H/S anthology – directed by Adam Wingard, Ti West, David Bruckner, Glenn McQuaid, Radio Silence, and Joe Swanberg – has won the 2013 Reaper Awards for “Best Indie Release”! V/H/S is avilable on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray and VOD, as well as the sequel, V/H/S/2. Thank you guys for your support!!
Here’s the press release, which also reveals that Lionsgate’s horror-movie deconstruction The Cabin in the Woods has emerged from the 2013 Reaper Awards competition with the top honors.
A deft blend of horror and comedy, the film — directed by Drew Goddard, produced by Joss Whedon and co-written by both of them — turned horror-movie clichés on their head and in doing so captured not only the award for “Choice Theatrical Cut,” but also “Title of the Year.”
The Cabin in the Woods won a total of three awards, also taking “Best Kill” for a scene in which a variety of horror creatures escape and attack their captors.
The Reaper Awards, presented by Home Media Magazine and DreadCentral.com, honored the top horror and thriller titles released between Aug. 1, 2012, and July 31, 2013. Studios submitted contenders for consideration by a panel of judges in conjunction with a consumer vote.

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie
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.
