More Low Budget Horror Flicks Coming from Warner Bros. and Primal PicturesGiven the success of movies like Paranormal Activity and Insidious, Hollywood is finally catching on to the fact that you don’t need a huge budget to make a good movie. Yeah, and the box office dollars don’t hurt either!

According to Deadline producers Roy Lee, John Middleton, and Lawrence Grey have partnered in Primal Pictures, a new genre arm of Vertigo Entertainment. The company will share the first look deal that Vertigo has with Warner Bros, and a big part of Primal’s mission is to put the studio into the ultra-low-budget genre game. Primal will also produce a slate of micro-budget films with independent equity financing.

Among the projects you can expect to see from Primal are:

  • Hidden from writer-directors Matt and Ross Duffer. The flick focuses on a family who escape a mysterious outbreak by taking refuge in a bomb shelter.
  • The Cure, a film about a husband who uses a radical treatment to heal his ailing wife, but it leads to bad things. Beau Michael Thorne penned the script.
  • The previously announced The Vatican, which will have The Devil Inside‘s William Brent Bell in the director’s chair.
  • Viral, a Stephen Susco (The Grudge) produced story of a vengeful spirit who wreaks havoc on a high school student’s life when she leaves mean messages on the Facebook profile of a dead classmate. Tim and Matt Shechmeister will direct.
  • Rise, which was written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan and is to be directed by David Karlak. This one will offer a “fresh” take on the story of a war between robots and mankind.
  • Tape 4, a modern-day Lovecraftian tale by writer Jeremy Slater. Laurent Briet directs.

    Stay tuned for more on all of these flicks as they come.

    Episode 267: The Legendary John Harrison and The Haunting (1963)
    This week we chat with filmmaker, producer, composer, writer, author...this guy's done it all...John Harrison. From working with George Romero on everything from Creepshow and Dawn of the Dead to Tales from the Darkside to the Dune miniseries to his Netflix series Residue...he's done it all. He even directed Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, which was Andrew LaSane's Scarred for Life pick, which is one of Terry's favorite movies. We chat about his long history in cinema; about how he started working with Romero to some insights into Tales from the Darkside. And we discuss his latest work, the novel Residue: Paramentals Rising, which is a sequel to the Netflix show. After learning about his horror history--including a memorable viewing of Night of the Living Dead--we find out why The Haunting terrified him as a twelve year old. John references an article written by Anthony McKay in Little Shoppe of Horrors, which can be ordered here. You can find Residue: Paramentals Rising wherever you buy your books or at WordFire Press.You can follow John on his website or Instagram and Facebook.Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Bluesky.
