7 Stories You May Have Missed In This Crazy Week For Horror!
Holy sh*t does AFM make for an insane news week here at BD. Not only is this a busy time of year in general, but you’re adding into the mix an event in which hundreds of new horror titles – some big, some small, some that will never get made – are announced.
If you’re truly into all of the minutiae, feel free to enter AFM ’13 in the above search bar. But if you don’t have time, I figured I’d collect some stories you may have missed (stuff that might have been pushed off the page in a matter of hours) during this high volume week. A lot of it is AFM, but there’s also some other stuff that may have flow by you as well.
Head below to check it out.
Tom Six’s upcoming sequel added some new art (which doesn’t reflect the film’s 500 person prison ‘pede) and added a few names to the cast.
Check it out here.
Even though Wan is taking a break from directing horror with Fast 7, he still found time to produce Demonic. This is a Dimension film and looks like it might be bringing us a modern take on the studio’s 90’s aesthetic.

It’s called The Last Witch Hunter and it has the epic scope we all know Diesel loves after spending so much time getting Riddick into production.

Will this movie do for werewolves what Let The Right One In did for vampires? Let’s hope so. “It’s a coming-of-age horror film set in a secluded fishing village of Denmark about a young girl falling in love and discovering she is a werewolf through her mother at the same time as she gets hunted down by the villagers.”

On any other day this would have been huge news, but it just flew right by yesterday. It looks a tad better than the first trailer, but still lacks the violence and satire I loved in the original. Still, it looks like it may have a chance at being a good film in its own right.
Here it is again. The original RoboCop was “of interest” to horror fans because of how hugely gory it was. Let’s see if this keeps the torch alive somehow.
Spike Lee’s director’s cut of Oldboy was about 3 hours long, but the version hitting theaters is 104 minutes. If you ask Brolin about the new cut he says, “I do have opinions, but it’s better to bite my tongue.” He does like the “quieter” long version though.

Everything is sorted out and (hopefully) clarified here.
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.
