‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ Director Opens New Stop-Motion Studio for Darker Films!
Henry Selick, who directed such stop-motion classics as Coraline, James and the Giant Peach and The Nightmare Before Christmas, just opened a brand new film studio in San Francisco with hopes of making “great, scary films for young `uns with a small, tight-knit crew who watch each other’s backs,” writes Cartoon Brew.
Joining Henry on Cinderbiter’s first production, Shademaker, will be veteran team members Eric Leighton and the celebrated production designer, Lou Romano (art director of Up, Ratatouille and Cars!)
Unfortunately, no other details are given, but it’s quite exciting to hear of such A-list names in animation creating “scarier” films for children. Yes! They need more nightmares.
You may end up rethinking karaoke nights with your friends after you watch the upcoming horror-comedy Bad Karaoke, set to World Premiere on Sunday, August 30 as part of Tubi FrightFest in London. You can preview the film with the official trailer below.
Robert J. Steinmiller Jr. and Chris Lightbody directed Bad Karaoke.
In the film, “When wedding band keyboardist Emily discovers an old karaoke machine in the back of a dive bar, she thinks it will lead to a fun-filled night of singing and bonding with her bandmates. Unfortunately, this karaoke machine seems to have a thirst for blood.”
“When the singing begins, so does the bloodshed.”
“When an excellent performance allows someone to be spared by the machine, the crew think they’ve figured out how to finally beat it. Proven almost immediately wrong, it takes more horrifying deaths and a visit from a mysterious stranger to realize they may have a chance at survival after all.”
Lexi Underwood (“Cruel Summer”), Case Walker (Monster High: The Movie), and Kat Cunning (Purple Hearts) star in the upcoming horror-comedy Bad Karaoke.
Chris Lightbody and Spencer Yaras wrote the screenplay.
“We were inspired to make this film after years of painful karaoke performances nearly put us in an early grave,” the directors said in a statement. “We found that many people have had near-death karaoke experiences and we wanted to play with that idea, as well as say something profound about the state of new music. But instead, we made Bad Karaoke.”
