There’s a creepypasta that’s been making it’s way around the net for a little while now called “The Anguished Man“. The idea is that a painter used his own blood to paint the image before committing suicide. That painting then fell into the ownership of Sean Robinson’s grandmother, whereupon he inherited said object and has since been posting YouTube videos of supposed paranormal events centered around the painting.
Now this supposed true story has been acquired by La Brea Pictures for a film titled Anguished that will be directed by American-Finnish director Til Ricks. She explains, “I am thrilled to be able to bring the story of The Anguished Man on the screen. There is something really intriguing about haunted items and especially haunted paintings – they really appeal to our biggest fears and imagination”
“Based on a true story, and set in the United Kingdom, ‘Anguished’ tells the story of an English man who inherits a weird painting locked away in an attic, away from sight.”
Robinson will be acting as associate producer and is considering taking the painting to various conventions and paranormal events, although he cautions, “I wouldn’t recommend touching the painting…”
