‘Barbarian’ Director Zach Cregger Teases His “Weird” and “Ambitious” Next Horror Movie [Exclusive]
Now playing in theaters, Barbarian has been earning rave reviews from critics – including our own Meagan Navarro, who awarded the film 4.5/5 stars – and the horror movie debut from writer/director Zach Cregger is sure to shock and surprise horror audiences for many years to come. Read nothing. Have nothing spoiled for you. Just buy the ticket and take the ride.
Meagan writes, “Perhaps best known as one of the founding members of “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” Zach Cregger has had an enduring comedy career. While Cregger’s latest, Barbarian, features a darkly funny streak, it’s the type of horror that goes for the jugular.”
So what’s next from Zach Cregger, you might be wondering? Speaking with Bloody Disgusting’s The Boo Crew Podcast, Cregger reveals he’s working on another horror movie!
“I’m writing a horror [movie] right now,” Cregger tells The Boo Crew. “It’s way more ambitious than Barbarian. It’s way weirder… and I don’t know if I’m gonna pull it off.”
Cregger continues, “It’s a really difficult script. I’m like 65 pages in. I know how it ends, I just can’t get the beginning to link up to the ending. So I don’t know if I’m gonna pull it off or not.”
Cregger also tells The Boo Crew that he’s working on a script that’s “set in the DC Universe,” which he describes as being a “Batman-adjacent thing.” He teases, “I wrote it and I’m utterly obsessed with it. So one day… I want to make that.”
You can listen to The Boo Crew’s full chat with Zach Cregger below.
In Barbarian, a young woman (Georgina Campbell) traveling to Detroit for a job interview books a rental home. But when she arrives late at night, she discovers that the house is double booked, and a strange man (Bill Skarsgård) is already staying there.
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.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
