‘Cryptids’ – Joe Bob Briggs Hosts New SCREAMBOX Anthology Brimming With Monsters! [Trailer]
Legendary horror host Joe Bob Briggs stars as a paranormal radio show host in Cryptids now streaming exclusively on SCREAMBOX!
The indie horror anthology features segments about Bigfoot, Frogman, Chupacabra, and more mythical monsters.
“Major Harlan Dean (Briggs) is the host of the widely popular radio show ‘The Truth Serum’, a platform which he discusses all things weird, unknown, and sometimes scary.
“On tonight’s broadcast, Harlan tackles the topic of Cryptozoology to coincide with the annual Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. However, with each caller, something more sinister appears to be waiting in the shadows and this could end up being Harlan’s very last broadcast.
The anthology is jam packed with practical creature feature effects and stories that are reminiscent of 90s’ TV shows ‘Monsters’, ‘Tales from the Crypt’, and ‘Tales from the Darkside’.
Featuring segments written and directed by the creators of Force to Fear (Zane Hershberger and Robert Kuhn), The Dooms Chapel Horror (John William Holt), BoneJangles (Brett DeJager), The Circus of the Dead (Billy Pon), Bong of the Living Dead (Max Groah) and The Barn Part 1 & II (Justin M. Seaman).
You can stream it right now on SCREAMBOX and then pick up a Blu-ray signed by Briggs and the many directors over at Scream Team Releasing.
Theo James Krekis‘ short film Jealous People are Ugly People premiered earlier this year at SXSW and has since inspired a massive bidding war for its feature film expansion.
New Line Cinema has emerged victorious in the latest feeding frenzy over next-generation digital horror IP and its creators, Deadline reports.
Krekis will adapt Jealous People are Ugly People, directing from his own script.
In the short film, “Vasilly has become painfully jealous of his best friend, Luke. But things aren’t going so well for Luke. Every time he shares some good news, he starts to suffer from strange and violent repercussions. Disturbed by the uncanny timing, Vasilly recalls his Yiayia’s warnings about the Greek superstition of the evil eye – and starts to believe his own envy might be to blame for Luke’s bad luck.”
SXSW described the short film as ” a darkly comic psychological thriller about male jealousy, inherited superstition, and the corrosive power of repressed ambition.”
Jennifer Monks and Michelle Stein will produce the feature take alongside Isaac Klausner, John Fischer, Ben Levine and Ethan Cappello. Josh Mack and Lauren Botchan are overseeing for New Line.
Jealous People are Ugly People joins New Line’s upcoming horror slate that also includes Santiago Menghini’s The Revenge of La Llorona on February 26, 2027, and The Conjuring: First Communion on September 10, 2027.
