‘The Shallows’ Scribe Ain’t Done Making Us Scared of the Water
“Hey there everyone! My name is Anthony Jaswinski and I’m the writer of the brand new horror movie The Shallows! As if making you scared of sharks wasn’t enough, I’m now going to write ANOTHER movie about horror on the high seas! YAY SUMMER!”
Okay, so Jaswinski didn’t actually say any of that but I’m willing to bet he’s thinking it!
Now that The Shallows is out and audiences are genuinely enjoying it, scribe Anthony Jaswinski is moving on to a new movie that also has a nautical theme. Tooley Productions has locked down Mary, a supernatural thriller about, “…a struggling family [who] buys an old ship at auction with high hopes of starting a charter business, only to discover her horrifying secrets on the isolated open waters,” according to Deadline.
No other details have been released but this sounds like it could be pretty fun! Maybe we’re going to get something along the lines of a Ghost Ship/The Perfect Storm hybrid?
Speaking of Ghost Ship, can we all agree that the opening sequence is one of the coolest beginnings to a horror movie ever? Just check this out.
The next V/H/S installment is on the way, this time from producer Roy Lee (Weapons, IT), and it’s landed on its new theme.
Spooky Pictures and Image Nation are teaming to produce V/H/S: SCP, Variety reports, and it’ll be the first feature-length addition to the online collective fiction project, the SCP (Special Containment Procedures) Foundation.
The SCP Foundation began in 2008 as a collaborative digital project and has since grown into one of the largest fan-driven horror and sci-fi universes online. You can get acquainted with the SCP Foundation via Bloody FM’s SCP Archives podcast.
V/H/S: SCP will be framed as “’recovered field documentation,’ or video evidence gathered, redacted, and archived by the secretive organization. Standalone segments in the anthology will focus on different objects, entities, or events under the containment-breach narrative.”
Spooky Pictures is headed by genre veterans Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) and Roy Lee (Weapons, IT). They’ll be joined by Josh Goldbloom (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/99, V/H/S/Halloween) and Michael Schreiber (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/Beyond) as producers.
“The horror genre continues to be a remarkable launchpad for new talent to share original creations, and the vast SCP universe has provided a vital incubator for this creativity to thrive,” Spooky Pictures co-founder Steven Schneider said. “Along with INS, this next project reinforces our shared commitment to look in new and unexpected spaces for stories. We can’t wait to expand the V/H/S franchise with new, fresh, and terrifying stories that will keep viewers coming back for more.”
V/H/S launched in 2012, followed by 2013’s V/H/S/2, 2014’s V/H/S: Viral, 2021’s V/H/S/94, 2022’s V/H/S/99, 2023’s V/H/S/85, 2024’s V/H/S/Beyond, and 2025’s V/H/S/Halloween.
The upcoming installment marks the ninth film in this franchise.
The SCP Foundation is a worldwide force dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting anomalies from people – At least according to the lore of the website.
