WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 96 – Demon Mist / Of Blood
Today’s World of Death episode spans the Atlantic featuring the work of filmmakers from the US and the UK. Who’s got the funnier accent may depend on where you’re standing, but the language of fake blood and inventive kills is universal.
First up we have DEMON MIST from Jason Wright. Jason comes to us from across the pond and brings with him an extensive background in the zombie movie genre. Demon Mist follows the exploits of four hard-partying British youths who steal away to a remote “cabin in the woods” to drink and take their clothes off. Demon Mist plays out like a 3 minute teaser reel for a much more expansive, fleshed out horror film that blends the concepts of Saw, Evil Dead, and (big shocker) zombie movies.
Rounding out today’s episode we have OF BLOOD from accomplished LA filmmakers David Bornstein and Matt Groves. Of Blood spins the tale of a vampire (who looks eerily like a guy I used to work at Subway with back in the 90s) that gets accosted by a diverse looking gang of LA street hoods. Hijinks, mayhem, and combat set to the tune of indistinguishable punk rock music ensue. The action here is really well shot and I’ll forever be a fan of the whole “blood spray hitting the camera lens” gag. It’s a four minute vampire flick, but it’s an enjoyable four minute vampire flick. Good job guys!
If you dig either of these films be sure to look their respective filmmakers up on Vimeo and IMDB, as they all have extensive bodies of work and are currently involved in upcoming projects as well. World of Death out!

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
