Ryan Murphy Plans to Slow Down, But First He’s Working on a Vampire Series

If there is one absolute constant in Hollywood, it is that the Ryan Murphy production calendar looks like a high-stakes game of television Tetris. Between preparing for “American Horror Story” Season 13 and getting ready to unleash “Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story,” the prolific creator remains the undisputed master of keeping audiences perpetually unsettled. Yet during a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Murphy offered a rare glimpse into his future. He’s admitting that he will likely need to dial back his output in the coming years. Why? To spend more time with his three young children. “You have to figure out what you’re interested in doing next, and I’m lucky enough that I have really great partners who want to do this and that. I haven’t figured it out yet,” Murphy explains. “I have many things coming out between August and Christmas, and I’m sort of plotting out my next two years. I don’t think I’ll ever do as

If you thought Weekend at Bernie’s was too lighthearted and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre didn’t have enough fashion photography, then VVomb Studio has cooked up something uniquely disturbing just for you. The trailer for the new psychosexual thriller Electric Meat has officially dropped ahead of its world premiere at Tubi FrightFest on August 28. Directed by comic book visionary Dan Schaffer (The Scribbler, Doghouse), this film is shaping up to be the year’s most uncomfortable watch. A Butcher With a Bad Case of “Artist’s Block” The story follows a photographer who pays the bills working as a local butcher. When he discovers one of his favorite models murdered in an alleyway, he doesn’t call the police. Instead, he leans into his day job’s unique skill set and decides to keep her around as his new “muse.” But here’s the kicker: he becomes convinced that she’s caught in a state of quantum undead-ness—sort of like Schrödinger’s corpse. She’s both alive

Sony’s Screen Gems Wins Bidding War for Horror Thriller ‘Mime’ from Scott Derrickson

Sony’s Screen Gems has officially emerged victorious in a high-stakes, multi-studio bidding war against Amazon and Searchlight to secure the rights to Mime. This upcoming supernatural horror feature brings together a powerhouse lineup of top-tier genre talent. The premise sounds tailor-made for high-tension paranoia. Mime is set inside a suffocating New York City apartment complex during a brutal heat wave blackout. The residents are trapped with zero power and rising temperatures. To make it worse, a sinister supernatural presence is creeping through the dark. Suddenly, they find themselves forced into a claustrophobic fight for survival. An A-List Lead Steps Into the Darkness Leading the nightmare is John David Washington, who continues to build one of the most dynamic filmographies in Hollywood. After a breakout performance in Spike Lee’s Oscar-winning BlacKKKlansman, Washington seamlessly transitioned into high-concept blockbusters and grounded sci-fi. He headlined Christopher Nolan’s Tenet and Gareth Edwards’ sci-fi epic The Creator. Washington also tackled period horror-drama in Netflix’s film adaptation

Quiver Distribution has released the official trailer for A Mother’s Secret, a tense, claustrophobic psychological horror-thriller coming straight to home screens late this summer.

Here’s Everything We Know So Far About the Next Entry to the ‘Jurassic World’ Franchise

Following the massive $869 million global success of last year’s Jurassic World Rebirth, Universal Pictures is officially doubling down on prehistoric mayhem. A brand-new Jurassic World feature is officially in development. However, the franchise is preparing for a major behind-the-scenes shakeup. The Shakeup Director Gareth Edwards, who brought the franchise back with Rebirth, will not be returning to the director’s chair for the upcoming sequel, Deadline reports. The departure reportedly comes down to mutual creative differences. Edwards is now shifting his focus back to original sci-fi projects. Now, Universal launches a director search for the next chapter. Back for Another Fight The core creative engine remains very much intact, however. Master screenwriter David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Jurassic World Rebirth) is returning to write the script.

Praise the Lord and Pass the Bug Spray: The Prehistoric Spider Movie ‘Don’t Move’ Unleashes Its Trailer

If you thought a youth pastor with an acoustic guitar was the scariest thing that could happen on a church retreat, think again. Don’t Move, the upcoming creature feature, pits a pious wilderness trip against an oversized, ancient arachnid, promising a high-octane, web-slinging slaughterhouse. Adapted from the 2020 bestselling novel by James “Murr” Murray (yes, the guy from Impractical Jokers) and Darren Wearmouth, the film turns a routine Ozark outing into a terrifying game of Red Light, Green Light—with massive, fanged consequences. Silent, Sightless, and Starving When a church group’s annual retreat strays off the beaten path in the Ozark woods, members start vanishing. Naturally, the pious finger-pointing begins immediately, with the group placing the blame on Ricky, the local bad-boy troublemaker. The reality, however, is far more hideous. Deep in the thicket lies a labyrinth of thick webs guarded by a prehistoric, vibration-sensitive giant spider. The creature can’t see its prey; however, it feels every single heartbeat, footstep, and
