Canada’s Terror TV Gets One of the Coolest Adverts I’ve Ever Seen
Canadian horror network Terror TV is going to be celebrating the “origin of film” by hosting a marathon of classic horror titles, including F.W. Murnau’s 1922 vampire classic Nosferatu. To drum up some interest, the network commissioned an OOH (out-of-house) advertisement that is absolutely genius, at least in my mind.
Here’s how it works: The billboard, which was designed by Nicole Alchin, is basically a large poster for Nosferatu. Seen in the daylight, there’s nothing really all that remarkable about it, aside from the stunning artwork. The magic happens at night when the billboard begins emitting sonar frequencies that are meant to entice bats to circle the advertisement, creating the perfect atmosphere for the film.
Now, I hope that they also release some sort of food into the air because it’d be kinda cruel to attract bats without giving them any sort of treat.
If they’ve got all their ducks in a row, then I think this would be one of the most amazing advertisements to stumble upon. I’d actually go out of my way to visit the billboard at night to see if it worked.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
