‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’: Writer Promises Marvel’s Sequel is “Very Sam Raimi”
And there’s nothing we love more than “very Sam Raimi.”
When Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Doctor Strange) stepped away from the project due to creative differences, Sam Raimi stepped in to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for Marvel, a perfect fit given Raimi’s history with Marvel superhero movies and of course, horror movies. The sequel was originally advertised as, after all, a horror film.
This will actually be Raimi’s second superhero-horror movie, as he of course directed the original superhero movie Darkman back in 1990. That film, which blended horror, comedy and action, could best be described as “very Sam Raimi,” and indeed it sounds like the upcoming sequel to Doctor Strange is going to be nothing if not a “very Sam Raimi” type movie.
Speaking with Vanity Fair, that’s precisely how writer Michael Waldron describes it.
“I can tell you that it’s a ride…very Sam Raimi,” Waldron tells Vanity Fair this week. “The film is incredibly visually thrilling.”
He continues, “John Mathieson, our D.P., who shot Gladiator and Logan—I think the look of it is going to be unlike anything you’ve seen in the MCU before.”
Raimi’s return to the world of Marvel will release in theaters on March 25, 2022.

Caroline Williams Starring in Christmas Slasher Movie ‘He Sees You When You’re Sleeping’ [Image]
Bloody Disgusting has learned this week that Caroline Williams (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) has joined the cast of He Sees You When You’re Sleeping, a Christmas slasher slated to be released this holiday season by The Horror Collective.
In the upcoming slasher, a young man’s Christmas homecoming turns into a nightmare as a killer in a Santa suit gruesomely picks off his estranged, wealthy family for their fortune.
Williams is joined by Nicholas Vince, known for his role in the original Hellraiser, as well as David Lenik (An English Haunting), Peyton Michelle Edwards (Goodbye Honey), and Lauren Marie-Taylor (Friday the 13th Part 2).
Director/Producer Charlie Steeds said in a statement, “I knew David Lenik’s campy Christmas-themed slasher would be a blast to direct. It’s set in the ’80s and we filmed on location in New York State. The script draws inspiration from horror classics such as Black Christmas, Scream and Silent Night, Deadly Night which are all films I adore.”
“Christmas horror films blend holiday cheer with thrilling chills, offering a fresh and exciting twist on traditional celebrations. They’re perfect for those looking to spice up their holiday viewing,” commented Shaked Berenson, CEO of The Horror Collective’s partner company, Entertainment Squad.
The Horror Collective is the genre label of Entertainment Squad, a finance and distribution company founded by veteran producer Shaked Berenson (Turbo Kid, Tales of Halloween). The labels’ latest productions include the killer-pants cult classic Slaxx (Shudder Original) and the critically acclaimed LGBTQ+ horror-comedy Summoning Sylvia.
