Got a Horror Screenplay? Draw Some “New Blood”!

Published

on

I see a lot of you guys talking in the comments about horror movies you don’t like and how you could write a better script, and maybe you’re right! So here’s your chance to prove it! This sounds like a horror contest with its heart in the right place. I know a few of the judges and they’re legit and have good taste, so you could do worse than getting your eyes in front of them.

Stage 32 and The Bloodlist have teamed up another contest by the name of New Blood. As organizer Kailey Marsh tells us, “There is a big need and want for dark genre material in the market place right now. I see ‘New Blood’ as a good vetting system for scripts by up and coming writers, and as a natural extension of the Blood List.’

In the contest, “3 unrepresented writers are given a chance to be featured in a section on The Blood List called NEW BLOOD. In addition, the winner of the contest will be flown to Los Angeles to have a one on meeting with an Richard Potter, EVP of relativity, as well as chat with select judges.

Those judges include Adrienne Biddle (Unbroken), Nick Phillips (Revolver Picture Co.), Richard Potter (Relativity) Beth Bruckner (Millennium), Dave Neustadter (New Line Cinema), Trevor Macy (Intrepid Pictures), Adam Stone (Vertigo Entertainment), Ben Shields Catlin (IM Global), Ainsley Davies (Chris Morgan Productions), Garrick Dion (Bold Films), Carly Norris (The Allegiance Theater),Adi Shankar (1984 Defense Contractors) and Bailey Conway (Automatik).

The Stage 32 / The Blood List Search for New Blood screenwriting contest can be found on the Stage 32 Happy Writers section of Stage 32 as well as The Bloodlist .

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.
