Bruce Campbell Wants To Make Sure You’re “Horrified”
Well, this sounds like an amazing concept!
Bruce Campbell (“Ash vs Evil Dead“, Army of Darkness) is teaming up with Craig Armstrong, executive producer of “King of the Nerds”, and Rick Ringbakk of 5X5 Media to create a new horror-themed competition series that’s being tentatively titled “Bruce Campbell’s Horrified. Campbell would host the show as well as act as executive producer.
Deadline writes that in the show, “…the contestants would live together, possibly in a haunted house-type of residence, and will compete in a series of team and individual challenges, with each episode themed around a horror sub-genre, like monster, sci-fi, psychological, zombie, etc., completed with decors, costumes and visual effects associated with that genre.”
Campbell enthusiastically explains:
From where I’m sitting, this is the first time a reality series has melded competition and comedy with the fun and fear of the horror genre. It’s a sweet spot I love and to pull it off takes a team of creative, industrious and slightly insane people – which is, of course, why I wanted to do it!
Armstrong and Ringbakk add:
Producing a horror-centric competition show, infused with comedy and brought to audiences by the inimitable Bruce Campbell, is a home run for us.
Okay, this just sounds really damn cool! This is the kind of reality show that I could get behind and would probably even want to compete in. Also, it’s fantastic how hot of a commodity Bruce Campbell is now that “Ash vs Evil Dead” is on the way. The man is stellar at what he does and he deserves all of the love that’s coming his way.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
