‘Cobweb’ Exclusive Bonus Features Clip Fully Reveals Halloween Horror Movie’s Practical Monster [SPOILERS]

Hulu October - Cobweb rotting pumpkin patch

Fresh out of movie theaters, Lionsgate’s horror movie Cobweb is now available at home on Digital, and the film has also just been released onto DVD and Blu-ray today, September 12.

The feature directorial debut of Samuel Bodin, creator of Netflix’s “Marianne,” Cobweb was released in limited theaters in July with very little promotion and very little fanfare, and it ended up being so hard to find that most fans didn’t even get a chance to see it.

Now you can watch the movie at home, and to whet your appetite we’re sharing an exclusive sneak peek at the bonus features package for the just-released Cobweb Blu-ray.

This is a particularly cool bonus features clip because it reveals the film’s monster – BIG TIME SPOILERS – which was played by a contortionist wearing a practical monster mask.

Cobweb‘s creature was played by actress Aleksandra Dragova.

Bodin explains, “In a good monster movie, you can’t see the monster. Because the monster has to be imprisoned. So you can see her hair. You can hear her running all over the place. And at the very end of the movie, we can see a glimpse of her face. It’s our present to the audience. We want the audience to go back home and say, ‘Oh my god, I got a very unlucky present.”

Lizzy Caplan (“Castle Rock”) and Antony Starr (“The Boys”) star as parents who seemingly can’t be trusted in the rated “R” horror movie from director Samuel Bodin.

“Eight-year-old Peter is plagued by a mysterious, constant tap, tap from inside his bedroom wall – a tapping that his parents insist is all in his imagination. As Peter’s fear intensifies, he believes that his parents (Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr) could be hiding a terrible, dangerous secret and questions their trust. And for a child, what could be more frightening than that?”

Cleopatra Coleman and Woody Norman also star.

Chris Thomas Devlin wrote the film, which will be produced by Roy Lee through his Vertigo Entertainment banner, and by Seth RogenEvan Goldberg and James Weaver, through Point Grey. Andrew Childs and Josh Fagen will executive produce.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.
