‘Shaky Shivers’ – Sung Kang’s 80s-Inspired Werewolf Comedy Now on SCREAMBOX and VOD!
After a trip to theaters last month, Bloody Disgusting and SCREAMBOX‘s summer camp-themed horror-comedy Shaky Shivers is now streaming on SCREAMBOX and VOD platforms.
Fast & Furious actor Sung Kang makes his directorial debut on the creature feature that features stand-out performances from newcomers Brooke Markham and Vyvy Nguyen, as well as practical effects from Gabe Bartalos (Leprechaun, Gremlins 2).
In Shaky Shivers…
“After finding herself bitten by a mysterious animal, Lucy becomes convinced that she will transform into a fearsome werewolf.
“Joined by her best friend Karen, the two embark on a wild adventure filled with magic and mayhem, as they look to do battle with a throat-slashing creature ripped right out of an 80s horror movie.“
Shaky Shivers is written by Andrew McAllister and Aaron Strongoni.
“The whole idea was to make this for the old-school horror hounds and for them to share it with their families today,” said Kang.
“This campy film transports us back to an era when spooky tales were shared by flashlight during slumber parties,” said Brad Miska, Managing Director of Bloody Disgusting/Cinedigm. “Sung Kang’s directorial debut promises a truly unique and thrilling experience for fans. With its eclectic mix of quirky humor, chilling moments, monstrous creatures, and a captivating throwback atmosphere, fans are in for one hell of an experience.”
Nina Yang Bongiovi, Kevin M. Lin, Michael Y. Chow, and Brian Yang serve as executive producers with Jean Shim and Luci Y. Kim acting as producers.

‘Los Vampires’ Trailer Gives Deadly Twist on the Production of 1931’s Spanish ‘Dracula’ [Fantasia 2026]
The production of George Melford‘s 1931 Spanish Dracula sets the stage for murder in the period horror movie Los Vampires, and we’re exclusively premiering the trailer ahead of its festival debut.
Los Vampires will make its World Premiere at the 30th edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival, which runs July 16 through August 2.
Watch the stunning new trailer below, which sees art imitate life horrifically, in the vein of Shadow of the Vampire.
The film is set in 1930 Hollywood, and follows as “a Spanish actor is cast in the night shoot of a soon-to-be-legendary vampire film, forced to imitate the English-speaking star who performs the same role by day. The two actors regularly meet at the transitory hours of their shoots, and a rivalry stirs between them. All the while, a string of murders are occurring on and around the soundstage.”
Note that the actor and star in the film’s premise aren’t named; Los Vampires is a “fantastical fictionalized account” of the making of Melford’s classic horror film, one that was shot overnight on the same sets as Tod Browning’s Dracula. That means that names have respectfully been altered.
Los Vampires is written and directed by Craig Mitchell (Komodo), who has lined up an impressive cast.
Lost actor Henry Ian Cusick and Spectre actor Thomas Kretschmann lead as uncanny surrogates for Carlos Villarías and Bela Lugosi.
Daniela Couso (Serial Beauty), Jefferson Mays (Inherent Vice), Oscar Nuñez (“The Office”), and Jorge Diaz (Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones) round out the cast.
Fantasia describes the feature as “a meticulously designed, occult-tinged tribute to the dignity of performance… and a darkly imaginative, bittersweet love letter to old Hollywood – and the forgotten struggles that made it what it was.”
Stay tuned for more on Los Vampires, including premiere timing, as Fantasia gets underway next month.
