‘Baby Blue’ – Adam Mason’s YA Horror Is a Love Letter to Stephen King [Images]

Published

Bloody Disgusting has the first images and info on Baby Blue, the debut feature from the newly-minted Microdose Studios that brings together three big names in horror.

Baby Blue is an insane YA comedy/horror, from the crazed minds of director Adam Mason (The Devil’s Chair, Blood River, Pig, Luster, Junkie, Hangman, and Blumhouse’s “Into the Dark” series) and writer Simon Boyes (Songbird, Hangman). It was Executive Produced by Johannes Roberts, who horror fans know as the director of 47 Meters Down, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, and even The Strangers: Prey at Night.

“The movie is about a group of teens making a true crime vlog that ends up taking some seriously weird and supernatural turns,” said co-writer and Executive Producer Simon Boyes. “Adam and the amazing cast really brought the script to life, and it’s a funny and scary ride from start to finish.”

The film stars Aramis Knight (“Ms. Marvel”), Ally Ioannides (Synchronic), Cyrus Arnold (Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, Zoolander 2), Lia Mchugh (“The Eternals”, The Lodge), Dylan Sprayberry (“Teen Wolf”), Paris Berelc (“Alexa & Kati”e), Khylin Rhambo (“Teen Wolf”, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged), Ellen Karsten (“Just Add Magic”), and Anthony Turpel (“Love, Victor”).

According to Mason, the film is “a love letter to the kind of books and movies I grew up loving, particularly the Stephen King novels that I loved so much as a teenager. It felt like no one was making those kinds of films for the YA market, and the teenage me would be really missing out today. That’s why I wanted to make Baby Blue.”

Co-founded in 2021 by Adam Mason & Bradley Pilz, Microdose is a fully-funded production company, with a slate of ten horror movies currently in various stages of development.

The movie has just wrapped production in Los Angeles and is currently in post-production.

Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.

Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.

“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”

Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.

No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.

A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
