Linda Cardellini Joins the Cast of Bill Hader’s Horror Movie ‘They Know’
Bill Hader will write, direct and star in the upcoming horror movie They Know, and Deadline reports this afternoon that Linda Cardellini (“Crystal Lake“) will also star.
Now in production in Los Angeles, Bill Hader’s horror movie They Know is based on an original story Hader created with his “Barry” collaborator Duffy Boudreau.
They Know centers on a divorced dad (Bill Hader) who grows suspicious that his ex-wife is secretly dating a mysterious man who is having a strange influence on their children.
MRC is the studio financing the feature film.
Bob Graf and Bill Hader will produce via Hanarply, with Alyssa Donovan co-producing.
In front of the camera, Bill Hader of course made his mark on the horror genre as Richie Tozier in Andy Muschietti’s IT: Chapter Two, the adult version of the Losers’ Club character.
As for Linda Cardellini, she’ll be playing horror icon Pamela Voorhees (Jason’s mother) in the upcoming Peacock series “Crystal Lake,” a prequel to the Friday the 13th movies.
Linda Cardellini’s previous genre credits include the live action Scooby-Doo movies, wherein she played Velma, as well as the 2019 horror movie The Curse of La Llorona.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
