‘Home’ Creator Would Like To Make A Horror Dating Sim
I know, I’ve already hooked you. A horror dating sim? I don’t even know what that is, but my wallet’s out and ready for me to throw all my non-existent money at it.
Benjamin Rivers is the indie developer behind the deeply unsettling indie horror hit Home, which is on its way to Mac and Mobile sometime later this year. Speaking with Joystiq, Rivers said he’d like to make a new horror title with dating-sim elements. It started off as a joke he made on Twitter, and now it looks like this bizarre game may actually happen. More after the jump.

Indie Horror Game Will Soon Find A ‘Home’ On Mac, iOS, And Possibly Android
Indie horror game Home brought pixelated horror goodness to PC earlier this year and now it’s looking to find a home on Mac, iOS, and if enough of you ask for it, Android, too. Home is a great little horror game with a fantastically creepy soundtrack — if you haven’t played it you can grab it on Steam for a paltry $1.49. Trust me, it’s worth it.
In related news, the PC version has apparently been a success, as Home creator Benjamin Rivers revealed his game has made its way to over 100,000 gamers. That’s big for an indie game, and that success will mean free content that will come in the near future.

‘The Last House On The Left’ Director To Build New ‘Home’ With Graham King And Appian Way
Screenwriter Adam Alleca and director Dennis Iliad, who collaborated on The Last House On The Left in 2009 have found their next project in Home. The filmmakers are reaming up with Graham King Films, Leonardo Dicaprio’s Appian Way and Paranormal Activity executive producer Steven Schneider on the project.
None of the issues I had with The Last House On The Left had anything to do with the actual talent behind the camera (I just found some of the morals were murky), I think it was a well made film and was certainly much more impressive than the bulk of horror remakes. So I’m definitely curious about what else Iliad and Alleca have up their sleeve.
Per Variety, “[the film] follows an unstable young man staying at his recently deceased father’s house. As odd phenomena begin to occur, he struggles to determine whether he’s having a nervous breakdown or his father is haunting him… Project was originally optioned in 2005 by Wes Craven through his and Marianne Maddalena’s Craven/Maddalena Films banner.”

Artist Gris Grimly Responds to Exciting ‘Pinocchio’ Announcement
Last week news spread like wildfire that widely popular artists Gris Grimly, along with Mark Gustafson, would finally be getting behind the camera for their stop-motion adaptation of Grimly’s Pinocchio. Plenty of cheesy “nose growing” puns ensued.
The truth of the matter is that Grimly has been working diligently for years on the project, alongside producer Guillermo del Toro, and believes that the hard work will come into fruition this coming summer.
The humble Grimly, who’s the founder of Mad Creator Productions, took to his official blog to respond to the announcement. He walks us through the day he met Del Toro, how he got connected to the Jim Henson Company, and why it has taken years to get off the ground.
“When Pinocchio gets greenlit, Mark and I will go to Europe to direct it and Guillermo will work on his own projects (Haunted Mansion, Mountains of Madness…etc). Pinocchio is not waiting for anything and will go into production immediately. We are thinking this could happen this summer.”

Gris Grimly’s Stop-Motion ‘Pinocchio’ Comes to Life!
Guillermo del Toro, The Jim Henson Company and Pathe are ready to go on Pinocchio, a 3D stop motion animated adaptation of the Carlo Collodi fairy tale that will be edgier than the 1940 animated Disney classic, reports Deadline who also includes a ton of quotes from Del Toro.
As first reported exclusively here on Bloody Disgusting in 2008, Gris Grimly will co-direct with Mark Gustafson, and production will begin later this year. Grimly illustrated a 2002 book of Collodi’s tale that formed the basis for a project that is years in the making.
This version is aimed at an audience 10 years and up, and a bit scarier than the Disney film. Australian rock musician and film composer Nick Cave has signed on to be music consultant and the puppets and 3D elements will be developed with MacKinnon and Saunders, the UK-based facility that worked on The Fantastic Mr. Fox, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, and the upcoming Frankenweenie.
In Grimly’s version, once there was a lonely woodcutter named Geppetto-who dreamed of having a boy of his own. So one day he carved a boy out of wood and named him Pinocchio.When the puppet comes to life, it’s Geppetto’s dream come true.Except Pinocchio turns out to be not such a nice boy after all. Pinocchio enjoys nothing better than creating mischief and playing mean tricks. As he discovers, being bad is much more fun than being good. For a while, anyway. Happily for Pinocchio, he will learn that there is much more to being a real boy than having fun.
